This is not a complaint thread. The opposite, I was having a blast today on kill most Yins with minimal difficulty of 2.

 

Elec/Ice blaster

I now have Thunderous Blast, Freezing touch, and Frozen aura available.

+3 Yin 29 mins, pulled most of the side rooms in the last mission 

 

Fortunata

Psychic wail and Aura of Confusion are available, but I had to push confuse to level 32 to get it all to work

+2 Yin 35 mins. Much lower damage team, but pulled all the side rooms. Being able to alternate Psychic Wail and Aura of Confusion was a lot of fun. Funnest combo, Aim->Psychic Tornado->Follow up->Psychic Wail

 

Next up:

Ninja/Trick Arrow Mastermind - will get last upgrade, oil slick arrow

Bane - Crowd control is the only really useful power to pull to 30.

Went through that on my fire/trick arrow corr

There was a grav dom who popped the computers while the ambush was coming.  wormholed AV group onto the ambush group in that little choke point where my glue, oil, disruption and damn that was fun

So now you have to crank it to +3 and pull the entire map to have fun.  While the level appropriate toons are dead/ineffective.  Sounds like confirmation of our fears.

According to whom? I've run 2 Yins recently and did not see any reason to cry that the sky is falling the way some of y'all have been since the beta. Yes, I know, anecdotal and only a couple of runs so far, but, at least so far on Everlasting, it wasn't some doom and gloom thing and both runs (one at +2 and one at default) ran in about the same time as Yin usually seems to take.

Completely wrong interpretation of my comments. What I am saying is it possible to due +2-3 Yin faster and with more fun, because of the extra powers. Otherwise, +3 can be tedious without the extra powers in a PUG.

 

I am capable of having fun with any level Yin. Please, take your doom and gloom to another thread.

I’m yet to try any Yins because I haven’t had a chance to look at a rough build with the new power changes. Jealous!

And yet still saw a bunch die on a +2 when they clicked computers early 😛

 

Loved having my Water/SR Sentinel softcapped for Yin.

In telco speak that is a Plant Operator Error (POE).  Otherwise known as a procedural screwup, resume-generating event, or "teachable moment".  🙂

Sentinel Super Reflexes really needed the new power order. No AoE defense until level 35 is tough.

You can get those two AOE defense powers much earlier now.

 

Secondary Sets (non-Epic ATs)

  • Tier 2 powers moved from level 2 to level 1 (character creation)
  • Tier 7 powers moved from level 28 to level 24
  • Tier 8 powers moved from level 35 to level 28
  • Tier 9 powers moved from level 38 to level 30

Unless you're talking about Elude, there's just the one. Sentinel Super Reflexes seems to be based on Stalker Super Reflexes (mostly) with hide swapped out for an endurance recovery power. But for Stalkers, Lucky got rolled into Evasion. That's why Evasion's AoE defense is about 7% higher than Focused Fighting and Focused Reflexes.

You're right about Elude, but you can still get Evasion at 28 now.

Don't mind Greycat's post, he's been on the "This is what's next" train despite HC not giving any indication that it is what's next.

That being said, neat info! Thanks Kaiser.

Yup. Ranks right there with Pos1's, "Hey, guys, don't head to the City Hall doors, until...oh, never mind..." (though I see a lot less of the Yin error, since you actually have to activate the computers, rather than just hop on the top of the steps).

I have done a TON of AE work, both long form and single arc. Just search the AE mish list for my sig @cranebump. For more information on my stories, head to the AE forum sub-heading and look for “Crane’s World.” Support your AE authors! We ARE the new content.

Yes, that Pos 1 ambush is a really tricky ambush. Starts with the door, but then could come from behind. Since, it's a wide open area it's much harder to group them up or hide from attacks.

 

I love it.

Plus you can sometimes get add-ins from the side, or front of steps groups. Can't they also follow you inside? I seem to recall having fights right inside the doors (or maybe that was when we yanked the inner mobs toward us, like the idiots we are).:-)

Two slower runs, but both builds are mostly SOs, except a few IOs.

 

Huntsbane, changes allow you to have one set of pets. +3, 37 mins. It was a good, but lower damage team.

Sentinel Archery/Ninja, +2, 32 mins. The pullers were all over the place, which led to some unnecessary deaths and the team was a bit low damage. I think we had a lot of sub-25s in the team. Good group, just a bit slow.

 

Still +2-3 is the new sweet spot for speed vs exp now.

Maybe you are thinking about the 2 groups right inside the door.  One to left and one straight ahead.  I've never had any follow me inside, plus you can't go in until after the ambush is done.
