Quote :

As you've seen from Vargouille's thread, you will have some new advancement options with Update 29. There are quite a few new Feats coming, and in order to keep things organized, we've split the wide variety of Feats into three different threads.

Level 29:
At level 29, you get your third Epic Destiny feat. Like the one you get at level 28, you can pick from any of the previous Epic Destiny feats you qualify for, as well as from a list of new options only available at level 29.
See this thread for details on new Epic Destiny feats!

Level 30:
At level 30, you get a standard feat slot, per the normal feat progression.
You also get your choice of one Legendary Feat. These powerful feats have a variety of effects and a Planar theme.
See this thread for details on Legendary feats!

Other Feats & Changes:
In addition to the level cap increase and its related feats, some new general feats are being added into lower Epic levels to provide additional choices.
See this thread for details on those!

In addition, starting with U29, every Epic Level will grant you the following (similar to the Melee and Ranged power you currently get):

+6 Universal Spell Power
1% discount to the SP cost of your spells



And each Epic Level you have will grant the following to your Hirelings, Pets, and Summoned Creatures:

+5 Melee & Ranged Power
+10 Universal Spell Power
+5 PRR
+5 MRR

At level 29, you get your third Epic Destiny feat. Like the one you get at level 28, you can pick from any of the previous Epic Destiny feats you qualify for, as well as from a list of new options only available at level 29. These require 3 total destinies, though unlike previous Feats most of these require Destinies from multiple Spheres.

Dire Charge (3 Martial Destinies)

Arcane Pulse (3 Arcane Destinies)
Spell: A magical pulse of force reverberates through the target's body, dealing 3d6+6 force damage every 2 seconds for a duration of 16 seconds. This spell can stack on the target up to 5 times, increasing the damage with each stack. 3 second cooldown

Embodiment of Order (1 Divine+ 2 Martial)
With weapon and unarmed attacks, deal 10 Bane damage against all targets and an additional 20 Law damage against Chaotic targets. This scales with Melee or Ranged power depending on your weapons.

Spirit Blades (1 Divine+2 Arcane)

Spell: Create a series of spectral blades which fly at a nearby opponent. Each of the five blades does 2d20 Piercing and 1d20 Force damage.

Arcane Warrior (2 Arcane+1 Martial)
Your weapon and unarmed attacks grant you a stack of Arcane Warrior: Magical (+1 Universal Spell Power). Your offensive spells grant you a stack of Arcane Warrior: Physical (+1 Melee and Ranged Power). Each of these stacks to 20 times and each stack lasts for 6 seconds. You may gain a stack of each no more than once per second.
