What would you make to do all Praetorian content?

[mindreaver]

I started yesterday with an Electric/Shield Stalker and have been having a relatively easy time so far, and I've been away from the game for a few years. I'm doing the all content run, planning to go to the wards afterward. Since I was able to stealth through most missions skipping trash mobs I did not need to disable XP last night until I had a single pre-10 story arc left, but it was late and I had to log off so that'll be where I pickup today. Shall see how it continues to go!

I did a lvl 1-50 Praetorian run with an Electric Armor/Ice Melee Tanker solo. It was pretty fun. Eventually though I did bring him over to Primal Earth as it felt weird to only be able to do SBB and AE missions if I wanted to team once he was 50 and IO'd.

 

Wow.  Are you able to get to Night Ward and First Ward without choosing Red or Blue side?  Or did you just run paper missions the whole time?

At level 20, you can just go to Underground Imperial and talk with the Door Man, who will then introduce you to First Ward.  No need to go red nor blue first.

Ooooh...will have to do that for the next praetorian I make, seeing as how I was going to skip most of the loyalist side of things to see if I can get more NPCs to show up on the switch side mission.

Yes, please do. We need more people to join the 24-Karat Goldsiders club - lvl 50 characters who never crossed to Primal Earth and thus still have the Loyalist or Resistance next to their name on the character list. 😉

Do note that that will exclude you from Incarnate trials and holiday trials on Excelsior and I believe Everlasting.  Ironically, the lower populated shards are better about Praetorian inclusion.

Holiday stuff is often done from Pocket D on Everlasting, and there had been a push to do iTrials from Echo Plaza on Excelsior.  At least my level 50 Praetorian did all the trials there.

I didn't realize a Praetorian could do Incarnate trials! 😮

Yep.  Praetorians can join the holiday trials, Incarnate trials, the instanced Rikti mothership raid, and Cathedral of Pain Trial now.  They just need to be formed in a zone that Praetorians have access to.  Namely, one of the eight gold side zones, Pocket D, or Echo Plaza.  That's why whenever I run league content, I form it in Pocket D so as to not exclude Praetorian players.  But I know that trying to form league content outside of Ouroboros was like trying to pull teeth on Excelsior years ago.  Thankfully, that may have changed a bit if @lemming is accurate.

 

This just gave me an idea of trying to form trials in one of the Praetorian underground zones...  Man, if I think trying to get people to go to Pocket D for things is hard. 😅

Well, that was the case when I was playing more on Excel.   It may have fallen to the wayside again.

On Reunion, a lot of itrials are started in Echo Plaza. Several of the people who frequently lead itrial leagues were kind enough to make that change a few years ago in order to accomodate myself and the (few but loud) other 24-karat goldsider geeks, and now it has been done that way for so long that it is muscle memory for a lot of players 🙂  These trials usually take place Fridays and Sundays at 20:00 central Euro time, though, so for you Yanks that probably won't help much.

I dinged Level 20. I need to finish up an arc and then move over to the Ward arcs. I used a Dark/elec Brute and cleared it deathless so far. I figure I can proc out Power Sink with the Chance to Disorient and Chance for Psi Damage IOs.
