Man, I'm not sure how I feel about them making the epic archtype dependent on teams. I have a fire controller that I slugged through 32 levels with to finally get my pet so I could have some solo capability. I still enjoy teaming, probably more than soloing, but sometimes you just want to hop on for a quick game. Sometimes you've had 3 bad teams in a row, gotten a lot of debt, and just want to go off on your own for a while. Controllers are the most difficult archtype to level pre 32, and it seems that this may be the case for epic archtypes for their entire life.
