Quick questions: may you keep/use Soldier powers once you take career branch to Crab or Bane? Also at what lvl is the branching to occur?
IE. am intrigued with the idea of a micro MM type of Veat
3 spiderlings / 2 disruptors for a soldier/crab or am I mistaken?
If so the AT just got a lot cooler in my eyes.

Did a little more research and answered my own questions: career paths open at 24, if you choose a power from a career set( crab/bane )it locks you out of the soldier sets at that point.
A VEAT micro MM is -possible- if you delay taking crab powers to !! lvl 38 !! Not familiar with how Viable the soldier set is at that lvl... Anyone on sight have experience with play at that lvl?

Well, if you wait till 38 before thinking about taking a up a career I am afraid you are doomed to be the eternal soldier. Nothing wrong with that. We are not all cut out to be leaders. My plans for total annihilation won't work without some foot soldiers.

Well, with the coming acrobatics nerf, i personally think its going to be better to go with KB res IOs, i am personally loving both bane and crab spiders so i dunno which im gonna roll, bane looks more pvp oriented and crab more pve oriented, i guess its gonna come down to the recharge and damage mods

Aye, you've got a point.. but flying spiders seems wot from my point of view. SJ fits best, really, and it's also my personal favorite
But a flying Bane Spider Executioner in one of those cool flying poses? Hmmmm... viable.
EDIT: Apropros VEATs, don't we also need some VEAT power sections? Completely willing to provide both numbers, info and pictures of the SoA!

Oh yes, we definately do. I'll take you up on your offer. Of course tons of credibility, my gratitude, and eternal glory will be yours. Let me find out if I can create those sections, or if I need input from the devs.
