_Chi_

Ok Ok... This is about MY Scrapper!

1) Is the new build any good?

2) Screenshots of Spines Scrappers that look good?

Well, how bad is the endurance then? My Ninjablade/Regen Stalker is fine with one slotted Stamina alone, so I didn't think I'd have a problem... He doesn't even have endurance red in attacks.

I too am running a kinetics char, and I still think getting a travelpower is not necesary. Siphon Speed is almost as good as super speed, the only downside being you need to hit a target to activate it. But especially if you're taking super speed as a travelpower, you may want to consider just not getting it, and using Siphon speed to get around. Saves you an extra powerslot.

Incidentally, doing this could let you take hover. Why hover? Once you reach SO lvls, you will be nearly teleporting around the map when you stack siphon speed twice. This can literally get u killed. Hover slows you down a lot, but with double siphon speed means you still move about as fast as normal flight. This is more then fast enough to maneuver in a fight, and not so fast you'll overshoot targets.
Most importantly, hover will protect you from knockback, which is deadly from the lvl 25ish region!!!
A lot of text about just 3 powers, but I hope it helps
(and I would get Blaze earlier, thats one of your most damaging attacks, you dont wanna wait for 6 lvls!)

Ah, the thing is about Blaze... I don't need to. This isn't a start to finish character, already have him to 40

But you are right about the SS + Siphon thing... may change to flight, but then will have to get rid of a power... Stealth, as it won't nvis me anymore.

Well, this is what I threw up... Please give more info!

Hmmm... yes... I found myself with spare powers... normally I wouldn't take Revive Or MoG... took quite a few powers I didn't really want.... ah well, wil have to try and do this again.

Well, I have been thinking about this character for a while now, and just threw this build together...Probably many stupid mistakes, please forgive me!

So, advice?

And now the next subject... Costumes... I can think of one, but I need Villain options...

Yes.. and I don't see how this is Blapperish...

Yeah, most combos do work, but I mean.... Plant Ice... hmm... the Back story is...? An abominable snowman that also liked to bungee jump into Fly Traps?

Well, Storm/Dark was increadibly fun, and still is... but then again, I did have a concept on the most uber coolage character out there, the Tsoo Sorcerer

Huh... will have to get it then, I suppose!Now... what to miss...?

Resilience!

Hmmm...wasn't there something about Stealth not Stacking with hide anymore?

Well, the thing about in PvP is, when confused, people normally jsut jump out of there, waiting for it to wear off.... I think they should be taken over, and have no control of their actions....

OK, here's my view on things. Thermal is a fantastic healing set, it's the closest thing we will get to Empathy. Although It doesn't technically heal as high as my Kinetics, Thermal will always be the better healing. This is simply because of the fact that it is amazingly more easy to use. Thermal is also an amazing set for PvP, Street, or Arena. There are some pretty decent debuffs, including a great endurance drain.

However, I would still never change my choice of making a fire/kin than a fire/thermal. I said before that Thermal was the closest thing to Empathy. In a way, it is. I noticed very early on in playing CoV, that there was nothing in the 'Villain Empathy' set (as I called it in the first week of playing) That could help teammates endurance.

Kinetics has a far wider variety, is great fun to play, and is very satisfying both in PvE and in PvP. I admit, my levelling slowed down at around 26, but when I hit 32, from then on it just kept on getting more and more fun.

Although Thermal is prbably Asthetically more like Empathy, Kinetics is probably most technically like it. In the same way that a Stalker is asthetically like a Scrapper, but imo a Blaster really.

...

And... Rad as a healing set?

Storm Defender Tank at your service. I held Infernal for the best part of half an hour when my Scrapper DCd!!!

? I didn't put recharges in attacks... only in click buffs eg build up..

One thing I didn't notice though, I have only one slotted AStrike hee hee, would have 3 dmg, 2 acc. You don't normally need that many accs though, NBlade has inherenty high accuracy anyway...

The picture of Brick is spot on mate, great job. The pic of the Hero I'm afraid I wasn't too keen on (not that I can do any better!), but I loved the villain one! Keep em coming!

If you're scanner sucks, take a digi photo.






































Or post it to NCSoft

Well, normally, Dev Blasters don't concentrate on major damage output. But you can easily kill people with the debuffs you have. I know my Stalker has been actually seen RUNNING in Sirens, because some eejit has webgrenaded him. However, I'd rather be running than detoggled because of some Blapper fool

My Stalker is currently lvl 31, and I'm bored, so I hopped onto Hero Builder. What do you guys think of this spec? Should I try it?

Well, many Stalkers make the mistake of playing more like a Scrapper. You should play...Like a RL Stalker. I normally stay up high on buildings, following my target. This rule applies especially to teams with Anti Stalkers/Stalker Hunter devices (eg hurricane, leadership, bubbles), then, when one strays from the group, jump down, build up, BAM. You must always pick your time wisely.

Repel can be a very useful power, but you shouldn't do anything like what you jsut said.

On my Corruptor, I don't go charging through mobs. You should get it later, when you have Transference... You will never have endurance problems.. by that time you will have stamina as well, and will be able to SO with EndRdx.

I play just as I normally would, but just keep it on for people that will come in for UberMelee damage. Otherwise it just gets TOO annoying for anyone else.

Heh, thanks. But I haven't made him yet!

Well, I'm thinking of respeccing Burning Chi soon.. Whaddya think of this?
