Topic: Questions & advice after 2.5 yrs.
Hi all,
Logged in last night for the first time in about 2.5 yrs. Thinking I'm gonna casually play again for awhile. I'm reading patch notes & the help guide to remember how everything works & what all is changed, there has been a bit.
I've got 2 accounts(1 combat, 1 industrial). Each has roughly 140k EP spent in their respective roles and is sitting on another roughly 140k of available EP. This account, the industrial alt, is going to take quite some time to figure how I'm speccing it. The research and mining changes since last I played are big.
My combat alt is currently sitting in a Seth(pew pew lasers ftw), and has most of the basics(I think?) covered extension wise. I grabbed the latest version of Perpetuum Planner and while not 100% current, it is still helpful for trying to decide where to put my available EP. Here are my current extensions & what I was thinking for dumping points in. Let me know if anything seems horribly off. I'm mostly a solo PvE player atm.
