shiradi - ok for doubleshot for bow... oh wait, queen thing is shiradi too... 30 secs too long for that cut those times in half
fury - weak, for end game, have to increase amount or shorten the duration between clicks
primal - wait there are not, there are two shiradi instead? how about % more damage per life.

bards get +1 enchant... meh give +1 enchant dc
sorc = crit... ok
wiz = cooldown... what you really need here is +1 to dc since you keep raising saves on end game mobs. caster level and dc's can't catch up since epic levels don't help in these. it's not game breaking to give a lvl 30 wiz 3 dc's as most of the epic elite mobs still won't miss a save.

Fast Healing:

Stance: Each minute you heal with positive energy, 5Hp + 5 HP every 5 character levels. Healing is doubled and tripled with two or three stacks of this Past Life.
Passive: +3 Maximum Hitpoints and +4 per ten character levels.

Fast Healing Stance I would prefer to see:
Stance: Every 6 seconds you heal 1hp +1hp Every 5 character levels healing is doubled or tripled with two or three stacks

This would mean 3 stacks at 1st level would give Fast Healing 3 every 6 seconds
and 30th Level 21 hp every 6 seconds

Maybe it's just me but I prefer smaller more regular healing, over slow healing.

Also probably worth noting it should not be positive energy healing, Wizards in Undead Forms and Warforged should benefit equally.

[Krelar]

More frequent healing would be much more useful.

[Gremmlynn]

/signed

More frequent healing would be much more useful.

I agree. But the game is designed more around hp's/quest or hp's/shrine, with healing being taken into consideration. Hp's/fight or mobs having to simply out damage regen is something they might be a bit leery about jumping into with both feet.

[xoowak]

So the passive bonuses are all the same within a sphere? Does that mean they can effectively stack x9? Or do you not gain a passive benefit for epic lives 4-9?

If they fully stack and you max them out, that's some pretty nice bonuses from the passives alone:
+45 AC
+45 HP
+27 PRR
+9% Elemental Absorb

The Primal actives look pretty weak for casters. 3 PLs for a rainbow proc every 30 sec?

[Cetus]

A lot of these are spectacularly weak. Really? Passive +2 AC from martial? Laughingstock.

Give me actual DPS and tactics please. 6% doublestrike is underwhelming for 3 grinds.

[Krumm]

Thanks for the info.

6% doublestrike is hardly underwhelming for a monk already sitting on 20% or more doublestrike... And 45 ac is a BIG number. Puts monks rather high up there in the 100+ ac world.

[Saravis]

Healing Power: +10 positive spellpower seems really weak for an epic past life, it should either be at least +15 or +10 and +10 kinetic or light spellpower.

Brace: Should be at least +2 per life.

Fast Healing: 35 HP per minute. I would not call that fast healing, needs reworked.

Enchant Weapon: Odd to have this in the arcane sphere, guess its supposed to be for bards and EKs. Not complaining about it, just find it odd.

[Habitual.0]

6% doublestrike gives many builds with extreme crit profiles (eSOS, deathnips, sireth and more - basically any build whose crit profile yields 40+ attacks per 20 swings) a greater DPS increase than OC, which costs 3 regular feats (though PA is a must for most builds) and an epic feat. That's against 0% fort mobs ofc.

Now, 18 million xp is nothing to laugh at, agreed on that.

[psteen1]

I certainly don't use heroic TR to gain past lives; they are merely gravey. Yes, some of them are good and worth having (paladin, wizard for example)... others are largely worthless (druid comes to mind). I TR in order to redo the content with a character that has awesome gear, to open up hard and elite difficulty, to get those +2 starting build points, and to try different builds.

I view the epic TR the same way. These are not awesome carrots to strive for, they are just there as bonuses while attempting new things and redoing content. If you don't enjoy that content, then honestly why are you playing this game?

I guess many people who TR see it much differently though... it's either all or nothing, apparently.

Different strokes for different folks.

I'm aware of the effects of doublestrike, except it isn't fun or inviting. I'd be more enticed by an additional multiplier than I would doublestrike, because bigger numbers are funner to see. Its all about painting an interesting enough picture that makes me want to buy into it. Right now, this picture is very mundane.

[rrzaa80]

Agreed with everyones opinion that this is bad stuff

enuff with boring coding - turbine really listen to this if theres any goal to take feedback from your players.

[Vargouille]

So the passive bonuses are all the same within a sphere? Does that mean they can effectively stack x9? Or do you not gain a passive benefit for epic lives 4-9?

Those will stack up to nine times, if you fully stack each EPL in the sphere.

[Vargouille]

Specific suggestions welcome, as always.
