I am hoping for mix and matching.
[/ QUOTE ]
As am I.
Any word on it yet?
[/ QUOTE ]
From the videos posted, it certainly seems like mixing it up is the way it will be. -

Umbral brings up something I forgot. When is /regen ever good without mitigation from the primary?
How do you even make it good if you don't have a super crutch like parry or divine avalanche?
[/ QUOTE ]
Super crutch?
Would you call DM's Siphon a super crutch? The current super-scrapper playing DM/SD would not be able to survive without the constant use of SL in their attack chains. What about Follow Up from Claws? Blinding Feint from Dual Blades? Can we even go so far as calling the Invincibility power from Invulnerability it's crutch?
The primaries have different aspects about them. Why does a tool to get additional defense = super crutch, especially when you have to sacrifice a good portion of DPS for it?
[/ QUOTE ]
Logic's a little off on Claws and DB.
If Parry is Broadsword's crutch, then SiphonLife is Dark's, and Shockwave is Claws'.
FU and BF are the buildups of the set.
Beyond that, I'm in agreement with you. DA/Parry are a HUGE benefit. But so are all the other utility powers and secondary effects from every other primary. -

I'm sorry if I missed it but has anyone revealed how tintable Dark Blast/Melee/Miasma are?

I've made assumptions that I hope are true. Must have red/orange dark melee and red/black willpower! -

I'd laugh. To be perfectly honest about it, I wouldn't mind post count going the way of the dodo. Just nuke it.

Also wondering about spaces in our forum handles. I wouldn't mind changing mine to Bill Z Bubba. -
Thanks for the info, folks. Since it was all clean at 2am CST, let's report back if we have a repeat tonight. If I do, I'll post up some better data points than I have now.

Ok, here's a quick and dirty build. No doubt there is room for much improvement. Especially if you can dump the positional defense and get more typed to S/L.
Quick stats in a nutshell:
Regen w/ 1 enemy: 63 HP/Sec
HP: 2258
Recovery: 4.36/sec
S/L dam-res: 46.9
FCEN def: 28.8
Recharge buff: 150% (8 or so seconds shy of perma)
Damage buff: 11.5%

Looks like I'm going claws/wp (even though I have too many gorram WP characters already) when claws hits brutes. I don't feel like working this morning, so I'll crank up a finalized build for a scrapper in a sec.
Wish Mids had the new PvP IOs... -
I would like to know what BAB thinks is the most fluid (flow of animations) attack chain for MA will be after the alt-animations go live.
I think I'm finally going to be able to play MA. That rocks. -
Happy birthday, oh bringer of pics and video!

/when the hell did Cat out-post me?!?! -
Update: Just logged back on and played for about 25-30 mins. Zero issues. Nothing but low cut grass in the netgraph. 149 ping. All seems clear at this time.

hrrrm...
Mateo_06 is East Coast, on Comcast.
MrVacant is on the East Coast and using Verizon FiOS.
I'm outside Austin, TX on Suddenlink.
I believe Pinnacle is an east coast server. Yup, verified:
East coast:
* Freedom
* Infinity
* Liberty
* Pinnacle
* Triumph
* Victory
Bur Virtue is a west coast server.
I'll give it a day or two. If it doesn't clear itself up, I'll start grabbing traceroutes, netinfo, etc.
EDIT: Side note since I haven't been hanging in the tech forum lately...
When troubleshooting ANYTHING, a tech should ALWAYS assume the problem starts with the end user and their rig. 9 times out of 10, the problem is found there. I actually assumed the problem was on my end at first. That's why I bounced my modem and router and restarted my rig.
It wasn't until after I asked if anyone else was experiencing out of the norm lag/comm failures (and found many stating similar issues) that I began to think the problem was outside of my home/ISP. -
Netgraph shows a sudden series of retransmits occurring, no input gets through to server, downstream remains clean.
Outcome: Enemies still attack and damage me without issue while I'm left unable to fight back in anyway.
This goes on for about 20 seconds each time. Happens around once every 15 minutes or so.
Cable modem bounced. Router bounced. Same issue.
Anyone else seeing this?
Scanning system now for bad things, but as it is never used for anything but gaming, I'm betting that this is a backbone or server side issue. -

/SR doesn't need that buff, it already has a Tier 9.
[/ QUOTE ]
I once griped about IOs turning Elude into a meaningless power by allowing us to permanently ride the softcap. However, it's not meaningless against DE and those damned tohit buff drops they use.
But I don't run into DE very much at 50. I dropped elude for conserve power. Better end buff, no crash. Superior choice for me.
Were elude turned into a clone of the current MoG, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Not that it will happen, but I'd dig it. -

I leave it on. More s/l dam-res to stack on the PSDR, more time for my regen to do its thing.
-
The only change that will need to occur after I-16 goes live is the addition of the brute evasion taunt aura to scrapper SR.
And more proliferation.
And talons instead of wrist mounted claws.
And bigger mouths with more sharp, pointy teeth.
Only four changes need to be made to scrappers after I-16.
And click mez protection acting as a breakfree.
FIVE changes... only five changes after I-16 goes live.
And...
Oh bollocks, I'll come in again. -
And THAT was the best decision you could have made.
