OP...one comment. Teach me?
If you have the ability to make money, do it. The real reason the market is screwed is dude to AE, and a lower population.
Hmm, i think im gonna go flip right now as a matter of fact. -
Add Boss--> Pets -->Bruiser/AssaultBot/Onietc...make his surrounding grp easy. on most maps it will be just him. Allies help if they are just there to buff/debuff and will not reduce ur xp

You shouldn't need phase on a fiteklubbing INV Brute if you have aid self. So take Fitness/Speed/Leaping/Medicine.
Please take the golgi out of aid other. That made me cry a little.
I swear by taunt +webnade on melee toons now. Saves you a world of hurt from those kiters. Someone said to me in zone once, "lol, taunt on a scrapper? how retarded. All that does is get you wrecked" I almost pissed my pants laughing. -75% Range for melee is always a GOOD thing. Also aid self is the easy answer. Just move and heal and you will be incredibly tough to take out. -

I started leveling a Sonic/Cold Corr a long time ago bc I thought it would be fun.
Can this be an effective toon? I dont know how effective the slows and - rech are anymore.
It seems that most Corrs are Therms for debuffs, so how does cold compare to therm?
I thought this post was pretty damn specific, you want to know if this toon can be effective in pvp, and if the slows or -recharge work anymore correct? Don't let anyone discourage you from pvping, not all pvpers are like that.
I have a sonic/cold corr, here is my take.
Slows in PvP are worthless, period. -recharge is still very effective. Heat Loss + all of your other cold debuffs will murder recharge. This set covers nearly all debuffs tho it covers more than any other set. The major downside to this build is the lack of a self heal. However, vs melee this can be a very effective toon, even vs Regen scrappers. If you can survive the intial attack chain of ranged toons, you should kill be able to kill their cooldowns and kill them meanwhile. May take a bit of cash/concentration, but not a bad corr at all.
Compared to therm cold has a different goal, which is -rech while therm is -end. elec/therm is probably the most effective corr, but sonic/cold isnt gimp. -
Make sure you are slotting for +hp and +recharge and you will be more than fine.

Meh...i13 isnt so bad without the base resistance, heal decay and travel suppression. untouchable widows? no ty...perma confuse/holds..also, no ty

Extremely useful info from the 3 of u, +3
-
I have always been confused about this. I know how melee and ranged def work but i never understood the separate parts like energy , smashing, lethal etc. This is my understanding.
Smashing /Letha Def softcaps around 45% This means critters will have about a 5% chance to hit me if their only attacks are smashing or lethal, is that true? -

Ares you can't get all aggressive on a message board and then sound off with "but it's only a video game." If you really think it's just a video game then why not take some of your own advice and stop getting so heated. The people giving you advice might be doing it in an argumentative manner but that's because the phase/tough debate has taken place more times than any other debate in PVP. The long timers are bored about debating it.
If you want to get good at PVP I suggest you don't ignore the guys who are good at it. When I first came onto these boards I thought all the smacktalk meant that the dedicated PVPers were idiots. Turns out it's just their way of dealing with players that ignore decent advice (downies) or try and make up some pretend rules to pvp by (fiteclub/scrubs.) If you encountered these two types of players on a regular basis you would become bored of them as well.
I guess if you're going to PVP then don't take what people say to you so damn seriously. -
Quote:interesting, gonna check out bothOriginally Posted by Schismatrix
Actually, the best group to ask about melee builds is the Scrapper forums. In fact i'd suggest checking there for builds that are already posted for Elec/Shield. The Scrapper forums has the most knowledgeable posters when it comes to maximizing melee builds. These are the sorts who invented the RWZ challenge: fighting level 54 RWZ spawns with no inspirations or temp powers used.
Unless you're farming inf there's not much needed to fight at +2/x8. The recipe and salvage drop rate is the same at +0 or +1/x8, but +2 is more fun if your build can handle it. -
Quote:Yeah I was referring to melee defense. My melee is softcapped at 45% not my ranged, i can't seem to work that in >.<. gonna check brute forums, but i figure i can get a better response here.Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
Terminology trivia here...
32 is not softcapped. Softcap refers to where a stat, in most/all situations, stops giving a benefit if increased yet is not hard capped there so it can't increase.
For defense, the hard cap is 225% for a brute (over level 21...). You cannot get the number to increase beyond this. It's a crazy high number. And kinda useless that high (for the most part) due to the minimum chance to hit (5%).
The soft cap, however, is 45% - base critter to hit is 50%, and there is always a minimum 5% to hit, so 50-45=5%, so in most situations 45 is the max you benefit from.
And yes i have mids -
I need some help. My build has soft capped melee def and about 32 to ranged, and my recovery is kinda terrible. So, I'm looking for a brute that can handle +2 X8 with bosses. Could someone help me out with a build that I can tweak. Prefer someone with experience on this sort of brute. Mine does ok, but i need purps and constantly need more end. I'm talking Elec/Shield Specifically. Just want the best out of him.

Quote:I read like the first 3 words of that post and then decided...this again? no ty..waste..i Added barrier to my ignore list like immediately after that post lol, ignore > all of you. Sad part is that you all think this means anything here on these forums, video game my friends.Originally Posted by SoulTouch
For starters going down on barrier with outdated jokes wont get you very far, and I assure you that you will find this place a miserable one indeed if you continue - I'm speaking from experience, so drop the attitude. Secondly i'm pretty sure I farmed both your regen toons in the arena so saying that you don't lose in the arena with either is a massive lie. taking tough on a regen is beyond me, if you can get a power such as phase which will make you, if you're not half brain dead impossible to kill instead.
If this is psycho jas or w/e, i beat ur psy blaster 1-0 and then u cried about greens not working lol ive been here before tho, just gonna add all of u to my ignore to avoid this forum pvp and get back to rv...GG -
Quote:Good point. I duel blasters and doms a lot though and the DPS those boys can dish out is crazy, and tough takes a lot of that off. But yeah, for me it will always just be a choice. I like to keep things fresh constantly working out my toons respecing and reworking my 3 different scrappers, they usually will have either phase or tough, so i get it.Originally Posted by WarScribe
Also, Taking the Concealment pool allows you to stack stealth with a stealth IO, Which is also a greater survivability tool than having tough ( breaking LoS easier for evasion (lol evasion) ).

Quote:ive tried both and clearly phase is the survivor's choice, and I do not die but in a arena match or whatever phase just seems to slow the match down as opposed to getting results where everyone has hibernate anyways and phase is two minutes apart. But if it ever gets tough I simply have the choice of stepping out of the action. Most things can't stop me when i'm actually moving on a regen scrapper but at the same time I won't kill them either where as tough allows me to stand my ground a bit longer and hopefully get the killOriginally Posted by WarScribe
Recon + DP + MoG + Phase > Recon + DP + MoG + Tough / Leadership / or w/e you could possibly pick for you last pool power.
The ability to Heal, Use MoG, and Phase as a checkout should dramatically overshadow your performance or atleast your kill/death ratio vs using tough.
This is of course if you are doing arena pvp. You can buy temp phase for zones. But still, I dont see tough adding anything signifigant to survival. -

Is your English that bad? I said tough instead of phase...
Forst eld h, are you rping as this kid? -
Quote:So leadership instead? 0.o hmm, well all i know is they both help a ton and most every regen u see has either or, and i do fine so i dont see where ur coming fromOriginally Posted by black_barrier
Taking tough over phase on a regen is pretty dumb.
