  1. I also let my clone live in the end... and she was so ungrateful that she tried to kill me when I decided to transfer the money then rob the bank lol. Honestly if the missions counted towards some kind of good/bad meter like I heard they will in GR then I wouldn't have robbed the bank because I want to switch this toon to heroes.

    I hope all the missions in GR will be like these arcs because I could do arcs like these all week and then roll a new toon just so I can pick a different option.
  2. good news: freedom is back up!


    bad news: even though I beat the EB and had 11 seconds left to get out of my lab I have to do the whole mission over again....
  3. OMG I am going to be pissed if I have to do that whole mission over again, it was fun but the 5th's massive AoEs + kb x my MM / the BM being down so no IOs = long mission. My lab just caught on fire and I was down to 11 seconds to get out when I see "mapserver" ... almost flipped my keyboard over my monitor....
  4. I love how someone comes in to post some good builds for newer players and is attacked. You guys make it seem like this is the "veteran" forum and newer players are not allowed and make it seem like newer players dont look in here when I know for a fact that they do look in here and they do exist. You can still see posts up in the forum where people are asking "what is the best powerset to pair with /powersetx" or "is xyz/abc a good combo" some of my friends and family that just began playing will look here for good combos from time to time and its sad that the mindframe of the forum is "dont come here looking for information for newer players because you wont get any"

    Thank you OP for your post giving your experience with these powersets I'm sure that someone somewhere will find them very helpful, and I'm pretty sure newer players arent going to worry about a 20% increase in dps vs an 18% increase or if one power activates .03~ seconds faster. Most new players when they first start are thinking "Oooh this power comes up fast with big numbers over the baddie I like" .... or maybe thats just me when I first started lol....
  5. There are a couple of reasons that I wanted defense over regen, the first would be as others have stated with a resistance based secondary every debuff in the game will hit you but with defense that mitigates a good percent of the debuffs. Also the build I posted above even without health gets 26hp per second which imo could be better but still isnt that bad, while I would love to fit health into this build I dont really know what two powers I could drop to fit in swift and health (two powers that I agree compliment the build very well).

    I could probrably do without grounded, the only thing that worries me there is losing the end drain resistance on a stamina-less build. So that leaves me with having to drop one of my attacks.

    I guess I can keep playing around with mids until I can find a better balance, thanks for the reply.
  6. Ok, this is attempt number one, please feel free to pick it apart and show me what I can change to make it better. I tried to squeeze as much ranged and AoE defense out of it while keeping the two as even as possible right now all I could get was 34.9 ranged and 37.7 AoE... I also skipped stamina but picked up conserve power and physical perfection and with energize running I get 2.3 eps and energize has a 11sec downtime. Please pay no attention to the slot lvls because if I do chose this build then I'll go back through and adjust the lvls. Also the PvP %3 defense IO I will pull off of my main. Again thanks for any assistance.

  7. Thanks for the reply, I will try to come up with a build using positional defense and let you guys pick it apart. Three questions before I try to put this together though.

    1. Does anyone know how useful a build would be without AoE defense. I can cap melee defense with DA and without having to worry about AoE I can focus on ranged and I'm pretty sure that I would be able to cap ranged and get some other good bonuses in. Also just playing around in mids I can tell that slots and power picks are tight.

    2. How good is Flashing Steel vs. Lotus Drops? If I need to drop one of the 2 powers which would be the best one to drop. Flashing Steel has a nice quick animation and is easy to line up after lining up GD but Lotus Drops is PBAoE and is where I put my chance for -res proc because it is more likely to hit more MoBs.

    3. Will the endurance tools in energize and power sink be enough to let me keep up a good attack chain without stamina or will it pretty much be like using 4 attacks then watching my blue bar waiting for power sink to recharge?

    Thanks again for any help
  8. So I'm guessing by the lack of replies that either this is either hard to do, impossible, or ElA is too new for scrappers for me to get this kind of help. Guess I will just have to keep playing around with mids until I find something.

    Does anyone know if it would be easier to go the S/L def route or would it be easier to try and get ranged and AoE def?
  9. I tried searching for a good build to base my new scrapper off of but I couldnt find one and the other thread about kat/elec is filled with more numbers babble than any useful build information.

    I have been trying to come up with a build in mids but for some reason with this combo I fail. I want to be able to run solo missions set for 8 so I need the AoE and the cone attack and I wanted to cap S/L or get as close to the cap as possible and just rely on DA for the rest. I dont plan on PvP with this build just regular missions, badge hunting, TFs ect.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also money is not an option because I'm probrably going to work up to the build on the way to 50 and use inf from my main and most likely respec out some of her IOs to use and buy some with her merits.
