Wolfboy1 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 So I just dinged 50 on this Dark/SR Sent and now im trying to figure out what sort of Alpha I should unlock. More damage is always nice but im wondering if it may not be the right choice on this char. Here is my build for critique as well. I believe I am soft capped def wise but my resistances could be better maybe? Any insight would be very appreciated.

Uun Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Alpha slot abilities are like slotting extra enhancements. You can only improve attributes your powers accept enhancements for. So if you don't have powers that accept resist enhancements, you won't increase your resists even if you slot Cardiac or Resilient. If you don't need to buff your defenses, my inclination would be Musculature Radial. In addition to damage, it will also boost end mod and -tohit.

Wolfboy1 Posted June 18 Author Share Posted June 18 Appreciated. Your absolutely right in the fact I only have one Resistance power going and 20% on that feels like peanuts. I think in this case a good offense is the better defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. If one doesn't need the extra End Modification, may as well go Intuition for those blasts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The damage boost is Intuition's tertiary ability, so you need to get up to the 3rd rank/tier to actually receive the damage boost... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh yes, I was aware that one has to get a bit into the alpha slot to get some of the other goodies. Looks like the Radial side is the one to go for as well in that regard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
