OMG! This RULES. Finally a more even playfield..
Try an MA doc sometime and understand what it is to be NON-twinked. I still solo 50%+ missions too. I have worked hard to keep this char playable withOUT OE'in and twinking. I can self buff for anything I have on. I am RIDDLED WITH GLEE that others will be forced to play by the same 'normal' rules as the average non-number crunching playerbase, rather than being able to reamin the uber-godlike-mouthy-rude-monkeys that make all games of this genre a pain, since they cheat, lie, steal, dupe, exploint, rant and do anything to RUIN the game environment for normal players.
This doesn't mean ALL OE'ers.. Of course not. Many were just doing it as a way to get by. Understood. But for folks to cry that they can't do a normal mission without overequiping might indicate something far for sinister: Maybe just MAYBE people should use skills that their chars are inherently good at using? You know that silly char template thing that makes skills show up in different colors? Hint: Dark blue means you are no good at it! It doesn't mean with implants and traders I can..... Get my point?
Anyhoo, thx FC for working towards balance. When all the screaming is said and done, you will have a longer lasting more balanced product. Good.

My implants are mostly around QL 130. Two are QL 92, because they are the only two that required Int/Psy.

That is assuming you gave up both the Shining and Faded slots for One Handed Edged and used them for Heavy Weapons. Giving up 77 point of 1HE for some reason or another.
That I did. I'm not claiming to be an implant wizard. With this set of implants, I wanted to try focusing on blue skills that I would otherwise spend IP on. This may change, but as an adventurer duel wielding riders, I usually have to dump points into blue skills when I lvl. Now I can spend them on the green/aqua skills I've been neglecting.

Where exactly are you getting those extra 70 points from? Also, how exactly are you meeting the OHE requirements (which is much higher than the HW) with only a single bright cluster for it?
I'm not sure if it's your math or your assumption of QL 100 implants, but check out:

As far as the rest of it goes, it's good stuff to know. I don't PvP at all, but it's still good info. I, personally, don't think debuffs should factor into the OE rules (I've posted previously about this). My original post was simply to show that it is possible to get HW up with implants for an adventurer.

I'm sorry, I tried to make it apparent in my reply, using words like "from reading a lot of posts from traders", "But the original poster", and quoting the original poster, that I wasn't trying to generalize. I was not trying to make trader generalizations at all. I was trying to explain my discontent with the anti-grouping, selfish tendencies of the traders who *do* claim that wrangles are useless post-14.2 and scoff at using them in groups.
Hope that clears things up.
My appologies,

a very good point on MA attacks.
Very good point was made on MA special attacks.
I Lose the following specials if debuffed by a trader, period, because these are ALL unique items, i can't carry a lower ql one to use. Because i don't me the req i can't use the attack period, while this will not effect all MA specials, it will affect the following:
1) attack of snake ( based on ma skill )
2) Shen ( ma and dimach based )
3) Bright, Blue, Cloudless Sky ( Ma and Dimach based )
4) Flower of Life ( MA, Parry and first aid )
However, MA's currenlty are forcered to live with 100% special attack shutdown from debuffs, how about some scaled damage on Shen :p It's only really for PvP any how... scale the damage on it so 3 of use and hit one trader and live post 14.2 >)
Oh.. point: Zenister, you're under 93 with that MA aren't you :) I know because I KNOW where the wall is for that profession, I've tried on two sperate charaters to get over it wihtout over equiping my MA, and in the end, you have to to solo.
The notion of forcing others to make the same decisions we choose to make for ourselves reeks of petty thought, and jealiousy. Let others excel, what they do is not important to me. What *I* do should be my ( and i'm opinion others ) primary focus. Not telling others how to behave.
Next point, untill you have walked a mile in someone else shoes, dont' presume to tell them they must suck at building thier character. ( para phrasing you ). You just don't know.
May you reep what you sow.
