Curious, what does your training look like at that level?

So, is "solid smash through ribcage" on a grapple a death crit?

If so, lol, looks like your 4 sonic weapon flares were just screen scroll, in this case. Dead is dead, right?

Also, the sonic thingie in your hands lowered your MM. You might want to try singing up a sonic cestus, will give you better MM for the same sonic-flaring-platform.

I am looking forward to a UAC bard flare machine. 1s RT jab/punch/grapple using KO flaring / Earth flaring gloves, Sonic flaring Cestus (MH), and Spire Flaring Cestus (OH) for a potential flurry of flares. Oh, and ensorcells on all them things.

Im trying to understand where the TPs came from for this training. Is this a level 80 character then?

I'd suggest you use your AG badge to get to close to an 90 MoC bonus ... get some minor enhancive to get you the rest of the way. That extra targeted strike you get from 90 MoC bonus would increase your kill rate on target mstrike a lot I think, and not increase your roundtime or stamina (I think)

EDIT - you could do like +7 MoC bonus on the badge, and +3 MoC ranks, to get you there.

10 more levels and I'll have 90 anyways. Adding it on the badge would seem a waste since I'm so close to there anyways.

At 80, you can train 82 ranks, and then get +8 MoC bonus on the badge (dont have to waste ranks on the badge).

Then, you can stop training MoC for a while and reallocate the TPs somewhere else, and leave it on your badge, until say level 100 in which case you can overhaul your badge again at its full potency.
