You wouldn't dare think of doing this without a Scrapper would you? lol

I've been on those Mo1DSTF...they are great up until Scirocco goes AoE nuts and the flier starts picking off squishies

Amaan - Spines/Willpower (all IO'd and now alpha'd/level shifted!)

Worst Lord Recluse tank on the STF: Yamato

Break Free effect on Practiced Brawler? Not a fan of it but I'm not opposed to it.

+Defense added to Practiced Brawler? No. It's already easy to cap SR with 2 IOs, Weave, and CJ for good measure.

Fail

The only thing I liked was Elec Melee Scrappers...and that's only because of Lightning Rod (the rest of ELM is bleh).

At least it wasn't another weapon set...

I'd like to see a melee set with a -res secondary effect.
Not sure what the set would look like, but sonic melee could be interesting.
Though I can't help wanting to see a "Sonic Boom!"

So long as I can do a Flash Kick in that set, then I'm happy.

I appreciate all the comments and I'm glad that my guide has convinced people to make Spines/WP Scrappers!

But, alas, the time has come for me to go. It's a decision I've been debating with for a long time but here it is. My account will come to an end in June and I will not renew. Maybe when Going Rogue comes out but only if it is a real breakthrough. I hope that while I'm gone, my guide will still aid you folks through the trials and tribulations of the Spines/WP build!

With a final thanks and best wishes,
Yamato

It seems like every week there is one of these posts...

In any case, my fav is in my signature.

I was considering making a new post for myself but I thought against it. I, too, have decided that 4 years has been long enough in this game; it's time to start something new. Yeah, I know, I've said I quit a couple times before but this time its for real. I just lost all interest in this game, even before the PvP and AE modifications.

To echo the sentiment, I will miss the people, not so much the game.

Bye all! Good luck on your future ventures!

I'm not familiar with this shield, how do you earn it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Earn the Predator day job (log out in a PvP zone, +7.5% recharge) along with the Duelist day job (log out at an arena, +4 points of Endurance). This will earn you the Gladiator accolade which gives the Combat Shield power.

IIRC, it's a 10% chance for a 5 second 100% recharge bonus.

*EDIT*

As for the OP, don't waste a slot in Ripper for that proc. I just dropped it into Kick (had to take that or Boxing for Tough and Weave).

On the other hand, this scrapper so far is nowhere near the efficiency of my Fire or even Martial Arts or Broadsword scrappers at single target damage, and needs a team to excel.

[/ QUOTE ]

You just picked out Spines' weakness: its single target damage. If you're going to compare Spines to Fiery Melee, Martial Arts, or Broadsword in terms of single target, Spines will always look bad. But, its AoE potential in unrivaled.

Consider placing your difficulty on Unyielding when solo and herd a bit. Or, spend times in hazard zones when soloing.

In regards to Fighting versus Leadership, I have to give the nod to Fighting. Really, the only perk you lose with Leadership is not getting the +Damage from Assault, which can be made up with IOs. The +Defense of Weave is stronger than that of Maneuvers. I often solo as my Spines/Willpower, so devoting a power slot to Vengeance would be wasted in my case. With Fighting, unfortunately, you need to learn either Boxing or Kick (I learned Kick just to dump a Force Feedback proc). But, getting the Smash/Lethal resists and the stronger +Defense are worth it to me. Also, with MoB, Tough, and SoW, you can cap your Smash/Lethal resists should that need arise.

You're absolutely right...and you love to keep bringing it up.

I share the same feeling. I've been sitting on the fence, debating whether I should leave this game or not. I've taken a couple breaks but I always get dragged back (mostly due to froemds). But, with these recent changes, I'm debating again whether to leave, this time for good...

In any case, I wish you well on any future endeavors. It's never fun to see a fellow Triumph player leave.

One minor point to keep in mind is that Regen has no "Psi hole" or any other kind of hole. Unlike every other armor set in the game, to Regen damage is damage--type doesn't matter.

[/ QUOTE ]

Most every Psi attack has an attached -Recharge, the bane of Regen. Debuffed recharged means no Reconstruction and/or Dull Pain to come to the rescue. And, as mentioned, MoG won't save you versus Psionics if you're in big trouble.

The same could be said about Ice powers as well, though to a slightly lesser extent.

This has been discussed to death. Personally, I don't care which we get. More options is always good. We'll get new sets when the devs decide when they want to proliferate more sets.
