This build is available on PTS as of 2/9/2016

Device Changes
- Sidekicks from Adventure Packs have been changed to yellow quality.

Vendor Changes

Additional Changes.

- The ZEN store level 30 power up pack now provides you with all the items you would normally gain from the level 10-30 level up supply kits.

    Urr... is that supposed to be level 30? Level 35 is choice between sonic device and toxic nanites atm.

    Does this include the TP to Rencen device too? Cuz on live it's also not allowing warps from instances.

    These are indeed welcome changes. Mental Leech will be really helpful to the Mind. And I'm assuming you meant lvl 30 for the Ressurection Serum change.

    Suggestion: Can a choice between Manipulator and Compassion @ lvl 16 be considered for the Mind? This has been a suggestion made by many community members over the years who feel that Manipulator would be more beneficial to the Minds role as a crowd controller. ​​

    We finally get another Archetype with Ressurection! onion-22.gif

    Inventor AT gets redeemed after the Medical Nanites change as well!

    Now if only the Mind could chose between Manipulator and Compassion as well...​​

    I'm not sure how well JUST mental leech will synergize with the mind AT but its more choices for ATs and that's a good thing.
    Um... Mental Leech should fill in the same utility that the old version of Ego Leech did, right? Ranged DoT that synergizes with Ego Sleep.​​

    Mental Leech will allow Mind to Apply all its Spec Debuffs
    Vulnerability from PRE
    Wither from Sentinel
    and Sentinel Master

    its REALLY good addition to help the Team even more and make the AT spamming debuffs often with rotating Mental Leech with Ego Sleep

    Edit: nevermind, confused it with Mental Storm onion-67.gif​​

    At long last! The inventor will have a resurrection power! But I recommend making this change between the new choices if possible:

    -Level 30: Miniaturization Drive OR Sonic Device
    -Level 35: Resurrection Serum OR Toxic Nanites

    Concerning the Mind AT, I agree with that a choice between Compassion and Manipulator would be awesome..

    so does this mean, we will no longer be getting those items in the level up box?​​

    Due to the recent.. changes to manipulator I think it would be better for the mind to be able to choose a rez.

    while I agree that Mind needs a Ressurection power as well, none of the 3 current REZ powers fit with Mind's theme!

    we could use a new Ressurection Power for Telepathy​​

    I agree with Avianos regarding a Resurrection for Telepathy. Something that could be called Mind Awakening which resurrects one ally and gives them a small scaling damage resistance buff for a brief time based on Rank.

    Lady Gadfly,
    could someone please amend the lighting under the bust and on the face somehow, on the Arcane tattoos- ghost skin. From the rear, it looks like you need an exorcist because your face and chest look liek they are facing backwards.when you run(acrobatics). let's just say it's an odd veiw.
    why it doesn't have a top over, my silver account doesn't have many costumes yet.
    also is there any way we could get something for the hands and feet, ghost body, live hands and feet.

    BUG: New Ego sprites.
    Where: Live
    Ego sprites is supposed to damage every second for 10 seconds, which it used to do.
    Using it now on a Mind, I am getting;
    1 second shots.
    4 second shots
    and after getting suspicious and heading to the PH.
    Lots of 8 second shots.
    How to duplicate, go to the PH. Pick a dummy and fire once.
    count the damage times in the combat menu.
    I used the regenerating dummy to make sure I only hit one.​​

    I just tested Ego Sprites vs. Power House opponents.

    Sometimes the power completed in 10 seconds, sometimes as little as 5. In all cases, the damage ticked off 10 times.

    In other words, there were always 10 damage ticks, regardless of how long it took.


    EDIT: Ego Sprites no longer procs Concentration, because of reduced range. Really changes it's utility for me.

    Let me rephrase that , I got those many seconds of damage ticks.I was wondering why, with the low level mind the icon would go on the mobs then vanish again.
    I used a blast as a marker, then fired ego sprites once and counted the damage ticks in the combat log and I got between 1 and ten.
    wiped that character.
    just tried it on a Level 40 mind and got 11 ticks the first time.Yes I counted that several times to check.Then 10. That's counting in the combat log.
    aarrghh.. which I was supposed to screenshot. oh well friday tomorrow​​

    The vast majority of DoTs do 1 more tic of effect than is listed for their duration -- usually, a bonus tic at time 0. Thus, spites would have tics at time 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

    Choosing between Manipulator and Compassion...when looking at the Mind AT's set up...

    The AT, benefits more from using Compassion/AoRP/Psionic Healing combination, as well as the added effectiveness Compassion grants to MR.

    If you really wanted Mind AT to warrant having Manipulator as a choice....

    Put in an additional for Mental Storm OR Mindful Reinforcement @ level 40.

    That would truly allow for Mind AT's to take a different path.

    - Lightning Storm no longer applies a electric aura on targets for ranks 2 and 3.
    Bug: Lightning Storm still applies the VFX for Negative Ions on Rank 2 + 3.

    New Chill VFX: Looks interesting, like little snowflakes...I would have liked to keep the frosty overlay from the old FX, but the test dummies seem to like it. Especially the guy trapped in ice! :wink:

    ​​

    How are you only getting 10 damage from Ego Sprites? I know it's telepathy and you are in support but did you rank the power at all or?

    Could you provide a bit more detail?
