Flambeau Noir hits Level 46

Yup, once more Flambeau dinged. I got a chance for a little play time in between sets of laundry last night. Cruising around one of the big islands in the Chantry has been very productive looking for salvage. I found a nice circuit and just fell into the groove last night. Next thing I knew "LEVEL UP!" I guess it's deceptive how much XP is rolling in mowing down spawns of 12 or so +1/+2 foes with Lts and Bosses thrown in. (Yeah, I know, we should all have such problems)

Anyway, I wound up six-slotting Health and adding an additional Numina's Convalescence and Miracle IO in each of the open slots. That 3-slotted each with a bonus of +1.88% max health for each. It's getting a little sick, as I did a quick check and at L46 he has more hit points than Mantlet has now WITH the +10% HP bonus from the FPRM accolade. Yikes. I also added a slot to Weave and put in an additional Red Fortune enhancement for the +5% global recharge bonus.

The best was this morning. Amy asked me to fix the computer because our internet connection wasn't working. After some fiddling, I fixed it and checked CoH to verify the connection (MMO games are heavy on continuous bandwidth and are better to check connections than web pages that request data in bursts). Since I was already at the auction house with Flambeau, I figured I'd check and see what recipes were available. Lo and behold, there was actually a Miracle + Recovery unique available for sale. You almost never see that, as they are snapped up as fast as they are posted. I bid 20M on it and got added to the queue behind 23 other bids. Bummer. As a last shot I bid 23M out of the 23.6M in my pocket. BING! I won the bid! Salvage to make it ran me about 50K (including the two tier 1 arcane rares, it's a L25 enhancement) and after a quick trip to the base, I was slotted up with the new Enhancement. It addes +15% endurance recovery every 120 seconds, but when slotted in an auto power (like Health), it's permanent.

So, all said and done, the global set bonuses for Flabeau Noir's IOs are:

27.00 % Accuracy to all attacks
9.39 % AoE Defense
10.00 % Damage to all attacks
-8.80 % Hold Duration
-11.00 % Immobilize Duration
2.25 % Max Endurance
13.14 % Max Health
6.26 % Melee Defense
9.39 % Negative Energy Resistance
11.27 % Psionic Defense
3.75 % Ranged Defense
33.50 % Recovery
84.00 % Regeneration
1.26 % Fire and Cold Resist
5.00 % Recharge for all powers
-4.40 % Sleep Duration

Since Flam's just a freaking bout 100% slotted now, I have a ton of Rare Salvage in the Vault that I'm saving for you two. Let me know what you need, as for most of the set enhancements, the Rare Arcane salvage is 65% of the cost or more.

Cheers!
