Okay...looks like I took the hard road again. Taurog seems to have been the easier route. So natch that I went with MA for most of the game.

On the plus side, I won with the Chemist which is not something I've done before.
I did switch to Taurog at the end for the boss fight. I only made it to about level 8, I believe, then dumped MA hard. Converted practically everything I had for Taurog boons. Grabbed Concensus at the very last minute so I could get the final life protect I needed from Taurog to finish Blah Blah.
A harder Friday than most have been lately IMO.
Regarding the idea of harder dailies..... I don't need harder, but I fully support the idea of having them. I like the idea of forced Purist runs...maybe not all the time..but often enough to make people work harder for their streaks. Let's face it, there's a dozen or so of you for whom the dailies are not really a challenge.
Doesn't matter to me. Streaks are artificial. If you want one badly enough and are a decent player you just need to wait until later in the day, read everything on this thread, then go play the level.
