Past lives make a differece

These 2 toons are nearly identical.

MadamPewpew has 47 past lives and 76 reaper points.

DJGrubb has 175 past lives, all the epics, all the racials (as of this post) and heroic completionist (at least 1 of each class, 3 of most of them) and many Iconics.

They are wearing indentical gear, filligrees, augments and enhancement choices.  Except Madam has a +14 wisdom augment.  Dj does not.  

Madam is using Volley, Arbalest of the Damned and Legendary Echoes of Night runearm.

Dj is using an attuned Dino light crossbow with exception int +2 and Toven's Prototype runearm with alchemical Intelligence +2

As you can see, past lives make a HUGE difference.   In actual play the difference is smaller.  Both toons are a lot of fun to play and feel very similar to each other.  DjGrubb is a bit more survivalable and deals a bit more damage.  But I only notice the difference if I go right from one to the other.  when I play themn a few days apart, it is much harder to notice the difference.

I made this post for my own use and amusement, but I am happy to dicuss questions concerning the information.
