NOTES:
* I was really hoping they'd do something to make MA Shades viable again. I guess they've put that nail in the coffin that much firmer.
* NICE! Over all I can train Notum Repulsor and not lose -much- in the way of weapon stats compared to being able to cast the shade buff nanos.
* The complit buff is helpful, but could have been more.
* Even a trox shade w/out BoC can equip the best spirits that drop, so SEN wasn't such a big deal here, but will help with getting gear on earlier.

Havent looked into LE that much, dont want any spolers really but had to check this out. =)

The things written betwen <> are specials right? How will thise work? Like buttons to press on, or like the proc nanos?

Or noone knows really? =) With that stamina i will be able to use ql300 merc witout beeing OE. Wich is very nice. After the full reset, and all thise adds i will have loads of IP that i really dont need (If LE dosant bring anything new)... tradeskill shade anyone?

And about the sprits DH, we can exuip them yeah, but finding them is like.. a year of work. I have found a few, just buffing sprits wich is of no use really, just seen some deff sprits for sale. (700m for 1 spirit, abit pricy id say). Oh well. Looks nice over all anyway. =)

Hotswap shade anyone? Supernova, maybe even get Oneida if you're atrox (will need MR to land a decent FA I think).

[Sillanto]

The specials have an icon like a nano, activate like a perk then sit in your ncu like an aura So nothing new.

From what ive seen there seem to be different types, 1 or 2, of special and you can only have 1 of each type running.

Tought the same when i saw that =) All i know is that i want Nasc to be trox

[Hyde]

Yep. Its not really all that hard if you have a yellow belt. Not having to buff Treatment OR a 3rd stat makes it much easier (I can do 1060ish on Hyde with treatment and 3rd stat, and that's w/out a +80 Agi buff).

So yeah, a trox shade really has no limitation on the max QL of spirit he can wear but he can never hotswap the high QL spirits like an Opi (and to much lesser extent, Soli) can, and once he has his yellow belt on it never ever comes off.

And that's w/out the goodness from LE.
