As you should be. As everyone should be. It's been mentioned again and again. People should *not* be able to solo a 70% mission effectively. You should only have a 30% chance of completing it.

Actually, like every other class, you can use up to 20% over your skills. Keep yourself buffed and you can use a bot above your level.

Most profs have to struggle with 50% missions already. Cry me a river.

No one said your bot is going to be even to you. Without any OE at all (the whole time my bot exists, I have the skill to call up another one just like him) I can have a bot 10 or more levels higher than myself. Assume you're talking about a bot that requires a 250 skill and your skill is only 201. Someone gives you a mastery and *poof* you have your new bot that is even higher than what I just mentioned. You won't lose control of that bot when the mastery wears off because you're still only OE by 20%.
Want me to be impressed...
...then have all implants on all characters bumped out on the day of the patch. There are people with Ql200 implants who are going to still be benefitting from gear that they should NOT be using. Otherwise this is just yet another in a long line of "here's our changes, but if you got in there and "cheated" early the world is your oyster" patches that you do so well that keep your player-base low.
