27 PRR and 24 AC seem pretty beneficial to me.  It's a huge grind, but WTF else is there to do.  I'll be running a max ED toon, so his utility doesn't decrease that much.

If you're not maxed in EDs, you get more benefits and don't lose a lot of toon power with an epic TR.  I don't know what you guys expected, but I'm just glad that I get useful stuff.

Yeah cause I am soo looking forward to grinding 6 million XP off-destiny for a past life.. NTY

The developers couldn't be more clueless if they painted themselves from head to toe in clue repellent.

I was fully expecting to see more 2/4/6% glancing blow damage for martial past lives, because we need more instances of marginal game mechanics.

This seems like something people might be interested in:

Quote:
Here's what we forgot to say this time around and should probably put somewhere more prominent:

Every four Epic Past Lives earns you one additional Fate Point.


I wonder if that means you can get 11 more fate points (3x of each EPL) or if only the first time you get an EPL counts.

Yes, the fate point thing was posted with the original info. Varg also said they're going to try to add more twist slots. It's 11 fate points. 11 fate points for a mere 264 million xp.

Extra fate points would be good. An extra twist slot or two would also be good.

An idea for an epic TR that would incline me towards farming the fuck out of things:
3 of any sphere allows you to choose one ED to have the first core and first tier of enhancements open as a passive destiny - ie with three martial lives you could be running in Grandmaster as your active destiny and have access to LD tier 1. 6 and 9 lives in any sphere open up tier 2 and 3.

Martial should really have some meaningful additions to damage and tactics, along the lines of +9 stacking seeker and +9 to tactics, plus maybe further expanded critical range as a reward for maxed out past lives. Rogue based lives that give a progressive stacking deception chance.

Primal should have something for the benefit of two weapon fighting - maybe progression to full strength bonus on offhand attacks as well as fortification bypass.

Not 100% sure about arcane, but something that forced a second save roll - starting at a reduced DC but progressing to full DC wouldn't be out of order - something saved on your DC 809 web because it rolled a 20, make it roll again. Or, allowing you to slot in additional high level spells as SLAs, not that SP is that much of a big deal, but a 10 or 12 sp Finger or Dancing Ball would be nice, and might free up some useful spell slots on a character with some splash levels. That's not that imaginative and I'm sure someone else can come up with something better.

Divine should have a melee choice, but damned if I can think of what it should look like.

I definitely agree with the +tactics choice, but imo that should also work on assassinate....assassinate needs some more buffs to DCs....

I wish there were more options to increase assassinate DC outside of being in SHadowdancer and using an epic midnight's greetings.

I saw a post mentioning adding a DC based on +sunder equipment a la quivering palm. I would be ok with that. In fact I'm pretty sure I already have a +10 shatter dun'robar on my rogue for improved sunder attempts.

8 past lives to go from 4/2/1 to 4/2/2 twists is so not worth it.  That assumes you already bought a +2 fate point tome.

Only way I'd do it is if there is a way to get another twist slot.

From a very cursory view, is there anything exciting apart from the critical chance arcane thingy?

I saw that as a big ignore epic tr, revert to heroic flag tbh ..

Awesome job Turbine! Now I can rest in peace knowing that this epic TRing benefits are crap. Was never interested in heroic TR anyways, this will be ignored as usual.

Now that this will satisfy the fan-bois for years to come, shall we start the work on end-game, a.k.a raids now?

P.S: You have also saved me lot of money which I would have spent on Hearts/XP Pots/Iconics etc etc...so thank you very much.

That new loot is really good.

That would be pretty nice. Somebody was telling me during my last TR that combat mastery was bugged and working with assassinate DCs. I bought a cheap buckler with combat mastery +4 off the AH to test it, but no dice.
