I hit level 35 two days ago, bought the 15 Plat damage implant and used it last night for the first time. We got through shipyards boss level twice before I had to go and it seemed much easier than when I was running it at a lower level with the +5 dodge implant. Granted, the higher int helped but i noticed the damage and improved heals. If you buy Plat armor, then I understand why the +7 dodge looks attractive, but I personally don't think the Plat armor is worth the money. More to follow on the armor situation in another thread but I don't have complete info yet unfortunately.
