The simple thought, what makes anyone think it won't be ported? It just hasn't been ported yet.

And why would they port it now? So far, they've ported Fire Melee and Electric Melee (and theme matching Defense Set).

And really, I think they they'll port over Ice Melee or Energy Melee next before Super Strength, not because of numbers, but because of players.

What was always the big complaint? "OH! Scrappers are stuck with Smashing and Lethal damage, the most resisted damage type in game! We need elemental sets!"

Well, they're giving the scrappers Elemental Sets. I wouldn't want to put up with the headache of more "Smashing damage? No!!!" posts myself.

Defense cap...oh...

Steadfast Protection: +3% Defense IO for sure!
If you can afford it, or willing to PvP for it...the PvP +3% Defense IO is another good one to get!

Kinetic Combat (4 pieces, skip the proc) for the S/L Defense!
Reactive Armor (4 pieces...Resist, Resist/Recharge, Resist/End Red, Resist/End Red/Recharge) for the S/L/E/NE Defense.

I very much think you should go the Tough/Weave route on a WP anything. So Weave will add to the Defense!

If you're concept allows it, or if you can fit it in, CJ adds more of a boost.

Maybe even Manuevars from the Leadership pool (alot more END than CJ, for only a little more Defense...but you need alot of Defense Stacking to hit Defense cap on a WP Scrapper)

Personally, Id say skip Hasten if you're thinking of grabbing it, as DB/WP really doesn't need it.

I also used the Guassian ToHit IO set in FA for the 1.25% Typed Defense across the board on my DB/WP.

You don't NEED to hit the softcap on a /WP imo, but don't get me wrong, it's that much better, for sure!

So far, I'm at the 30-34% Defense on my DB/WP scrapper, and that handles it pretty damn well. I havent redone the build though, since getting the new computer, or I'd post what my planned build is.

If I get time, I'll make you a build, if you give some ideas of what you're going for power pool wise with yours.

Mine required Hover for example for concept. If I was going the purely min/max route, Id have just grabbed CJ instead.

Also no idea if you're getting alot of the attacks or not. Maybe you want all the combos. Maybe you don't. That would be a factor in what sets to suggest as well.

This thread makes me feel so bad.

My catgirls are usually just ears & tail. Sometimes, using Large Boots/Gloves (or Banded Gloves)...tight versions...to simulate fur covered paws.

I've never actually done a full fur covering the whole body toon (except in RP power swap with SG)! I almost feel...ashamed! Okay...not really. But...still...now i feel the need to make a fur all over!

For some reason, this post made me want a /Poison toon!

However, I couldn't help but wish it was for a CORR over a MM.

Awww...the aura did show up on that pick of Synapse. :/ I must of clicked printscreen to late on it. Grrrr....

OKay...my submissions...












Actually spent time on the others, but just didnt like them. :/ And wish I had Phase Shift or Earthreal Shift to add to Numina's pic.

Statesman - Positron - Numina - Manticore - Synapse

[EDIT] OH! I never did give a write up! I don't think I went with a theme like some of the great ones that have been shown. My only thought was to keep them looking like comic book superheroes. I see why some people might go the route of armored up, or street clothes, but that just doesn't seem super hero to me.

Mind you, my favorite period of comics was the 90's. When superheroes still wore tights, and looked the part of classic heroes.

Statesman...I ditched the helmet. None of them look all that great imo and I tried to keep it, as it's his trademark...but...ewww. I know it's his signature right now, I do. But...:/ Still, I wanted to keep the Red/White/Blue feel to him. Kept his belt (or equivalent anyways). I think the outfit does a good job of blending the US colors with a superhero feel to him. Statesman keeps the cape, as Statesman is very much the classic caped hero.

Positron...he's the CoH version of Iron Man. He has to have the suit! Went the darker route, with the green highlights due to the radiation (which really can vary in color). Darker suit, with the HUD Display aura for the added tech feel.

Numina...to me, she's that superhero who doesn't go the tight route. Maybe it's because she's magic based. But I wanted to give her a younger look. Admittedly it's a variation on one of my main's civvie outfits, but I think it worked so well for her, and the hair...it needed a change. Of all the Freedom Phalanx, she needs the update more than any imo (Sister Psyche/Synapse tie for second).

Manticore...he's CoH's Batman inspired hero (at least to me). Now, I realize wha others see as his hair, is really just part of his cowl. Personally, it just...fails imo. Giving him a more edgier look, with the added spikes on the gloves and boots...add in the flame on the boots and gloves because it just works so well with the pants. Which give a more ninja feel to him.

Synapse...the speedster. I wanted to keep that feel. Also edge him up a bit. Show off that hair. He loves the girls! Let the girls run their fingers through that hair! The chains for that edgier, add more oomph to the punch, look! Have to keep his goggles though. The goggles are like his trademark to me.

Here's my main, which will soon be DP/Something! Tested her out with DP/Mental, DP/Thermal, DP/KIN...never got around to the RAD/DP. :/

Her normal Hero Outfit & her fighting pirates outfit!

Let's see if I can get them to show up without them being to big! *crosses fingers*

I think I could do my concepts more justice, if the epics where better.

Okay, I have to live with limits. I can't have a hero who can fire both Fire AND Ice...but the epics were restructured (to grab a blast over a hold/immobilize I dont see my concept being able to do), or added to even more...like a 4 minute ally buff shield...so they can sheild their allies as if they had telekensis...it would all be better!
