Gratz!!! Infernal is not an easy one.

I like to slot is like a Regular attack. It is best to do that first but if you don't need the set bounes then Frankenslotting it would be good to. Just make sure it hits and hit for some damage.

First, don't 6 slot stamina. Second,

[/ QUOTE ]

It is ok to 6 slot stamina if it is giving you 3.13% AoE defense, that is why he as it.

I would help but I don't have the time, I will try a look at the build later.

Well Scarpper are called the Solo AT, maybe try a Scrapper. A good Scrapper would be a Kat/WP Scarpper. It is very easy to play and will help you learn a lot about the game.

Also note that most, if not all mobs in the shadow shard can see through stealth, even super speed. So don't even think about ghosting missions there.

[/ QUOTE ]

And the Eye balls have crazy to hit, so if your a defense set like /SR it is going to hurt.

Just to make sure everyone needs to use the temp power on him. You can't hit him if you don't use it. Other then that I don't know.

Well did you use the temp power on him, the one you got the mish before. If you didn't use that then you can't kill him.

Well first what Rich are you fighting?

Looking at /Fire in Mids now, as the Phoenix-themed self-res is pretty tempting - if I take travel+Stamina, then I'm missing a total of 3 powers across the primary and secondary at 38. If one of those is the taunt, what are the other expendables? Or does it depend on whether I'm single-target or aoe-focused?


[/ QUOTE ]

For me I skip Breath of Fire, Scorch and Confront. Breath of Fire beacuse it is a small cone and as a long cast time. I don't like the power at all some people do. Scorch because Fire Sword is a little better and I don't see the need for both. Some people like Scorch better beacuse they don't like the look of Fire Sword. Then confront, well because it is confront.

Edit to add: for /Fire can be played different ways. The powers not to skip are Healing Flames, Plasma Shield, Fiery Embrace(To me it's a can't skip for a Fire/Fire) and Fire Shield but you can't skip it. Blazing Aura is a great power I wouldn't skip it, it adds to your AoE damage a lot. Temperature Protection you can skip I have it in my fire/Fire but I dont' think I had it while lvling up. For Consume, Burn, Rise of the Phoenix can all be skip are put off till you get more powers.

Welcome to the Forums!!!

Well first off all Scrappers are good a soloing so you could pick any and do ok with.

For you attack you said you want good ST damage and good AoE, I think the best for that would be Fire Melee. It as great ST damage and Fire Sword Cirlce is just awesome. Other are good too but Fire is one of my Fav.

Now for the secondary again any will do, some go better with others but still all are good. Now I thinking for lvling up with just SO I think /WP would be the best. /WP is a great set and easy to play. You don't need to put a lot in to it to be great.

If you looking to IO out your toon then /SR and /SD will be great for you then. /SD gets the most out of IOs IMO it can give you a great damage and gives you great Defense. /SR gets a lot but it is also a late bloomer. But with just SO /SR is the better of the 2.

So if you want to be great with SO I would go with Fire/WP, if you want to put some work in to your build I would go with Fire/SD.

Now like I said any secondary will do. Just play what you think looks fun to you.

Lets see your Defense number are

Melee 50.4%
Ranged 49.5%
AoE 36%

So two of your defense numbers are over the soft cap, which is 45%. The soft capped is what you want to aim for with /SR. It will flood the to hit of most foes. With /SR you don't need to go much over so it will be fine at 45%-47%.

83?
Mine is 99.8%. 2 generic lvl 50 End Mod + lvl 50 Performance Shifter End Mod + the Proc.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope your not with 2 generic lvl 50 End Mods. Endurance Modification At lvl 50 only give +42.4%. So 2 of the would only be 84.4% and that is not counting ED which will make it 83.32% The Performance Shifter End Mod + the Proc does nothing for your End but give you a 20% chance for 10 end every 10 sec.

Qr

I don't like the Scaling resists at all It doesn't do much IMO.

Here is a pic of Scaling resists at work. I have around 1700 HIt points and Tough is not slotted that good. I'm only at 63% resists with Tough on and each auto power is only giving me 17%. I was not running any of my toggles because it would of took to long for them to kill me.

Now I don't know if more Hitpoints will give you higher resists so if anything it would be better for a Brute.

41 DM / Shield - I really want to love this character, but I think my more AOE oriented Scrappers have spoiled me. I want to get this one to 50 and spend some influence on her to see if my opinion will change. Fully saturated AAO puts up some big numbers and Shield Charge is so much fun! This Scrapper seems so much more squishy than my WP scrappers. Perhaps my perception is skewed.

[/ QUOTE ]

With just SO /Shield is weak. But you do have DM which as a heal so it makes it better but it is still weak. When looking at your other level 50 Scrapper Willpower will seem a lot stronger then your Shield Scrapper with just SO. Shield is weaker because it gives you more offense just like FA. The thing is Willpower will only get a little better with IOs, and DM/Shield becomes a lot better with IOs and I mean a lot better

Your perception is not skewed WP is the stronger Scrapper with just SO. Also having one of them being Kat/WP your DM/SD should feel weak.

[ QUOTE ]
Willpower: Take all of them. The only one that is skippable is the resurection.

[/ QUOTE ]

You can skip SoW, I don't. I like the power but it is not a must have. But ya that is right about Willpower all but the last 2 powers.

[ QUOTE ]
Claws: Follow up, Focus are definite must haves, Eviscerate, spin, and shockwave are fun, and good power choices.

[/ QUOTE ]

adding Strike over Swipe. Also I wouldn't skip Slash because it is the only Claws power that -def so you can hit more and your able to put the proc in. But All of them are good powers.

[ QUOTE ]
Just be warned that if you shockwave the baddies out of range of Rttc, it will drop your regen rate.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't see this as a problem because if they are not attacking you, you don't need to regen fast.

Well if there are 2 team I could go for this. I don't know what Scrapper I'll bring yet but right now I'm looking at my DM/SD Scrapper. But like Werner said I'll probably make the choice on the day of.

[ QUOTE ]
Phalanx Fighting? Take much sooner. It's base 3.75 isn't enhanceable, but is like having 3 decent set bonuses as once (I slotted it with Kismet +acc)

[/ QUOTE ]

He is lvl 48 don't assume everyone is going to playing at lower lvls. Taking it at lvl 49 is ok if you only plan on playing at lvl 50.

[ QUOTE ]
Stamina? I wouldn't slot it with the full set, too much enhacnement is lost. I slot 2 generic End Mod IO's and--from Performance Shifter--End Mod and the Proc

[/ QUOTE ]

Look at the set bounes before you say something like this. Yes you are right 6 slotting stamina is a waste but he/she is getting 3.13% defense and that is getting him/her close to the soft cap it is ok to 6 slot it.

[ QUOTE ]
Werner, you are spot on with your interpretation of my intended meaning, I never considered that statement could be taken any other way without the comma...


[/ QUOTE ]

Ok I never hear anyone said Newb kid. No one called you you a Newb or Noob so that came from left field. Also not everyone types perfect here.

[ QUOTE ]
Regarding ED, why would the game designers build IO sets that exceeded (thus wasted) stats like;
"Damage 101.86% (Pre-ED: 145.75%)"
that message is quoted from Mids when I 6 sloted Ragnorak (i dream big) into throw spines.
I have searched Paragon Wiki for ED and I know what it means, but in relation to this 6 slot IO set it seems to defeat the purpose of 6 slotting the full (and as i imagine, prohibitively expensive) IO set.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because they are Purple? I don't know why either but I would never six slot a purple into a power because of ED. I Leave out the Damage IO or the Damage/Recharge one.

[ QUOTE ]
[Secondly, I am a big fan of not just equipping an item (or enhancement in this case) without knowing why I am doing it. So, while you think you may be saving me time and/or helping me out simply saying/linking yourself or someone else saying slot this power this way doesn't tell me anything but you're preference. Those types of post and comments aren't unhelpful and I do appreciate the effort that went into them, It's just not what I am looking for.
for instance, I like the looks of 6 slotting Quills with Pacing of the Turtle, the reasons being, I get just a little less acc & dam than i would if i IO single slotted it and I get the added slow effect plus the set carries across other powers. I understand that 6 slotting Quills with Turtle is not necessarily a good decision on my part, but what would help is why should i slot it a different way, as Turtle seems to meet/exceed what I could want from a PBAoE toggle.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok why don't you slot Turtle in to Qullis. Well Quills as you know is a damage aura. It does damage and that is why I assume you took it is to do more AoE damage. So with slotting Turtle in it your only going to get 25% damage from the set. Your acc is ok your end is ok and your slow is crazy high, which I don't think will help you as much. The set bounes are ok but not the best, and to get the +def, which is very nice, it takes all 6 slot to do so.

Now lets say you slot Scirocco that will give you a 95% dmage and better Accuracy which is what you want for an attack. It gives you ok end too and to get the +def it only take 5 slots, but they are different +def.

But really it is up to you what you want to do with your build.
Now me I think I would Frankenslotting it to get good Damage, good End Discount, good Accuracy and maybe some slow but I don't know how good the slow is in Quills. Hope this helps you better.

wait that was a lvl 46 in a lvl 39 mish set to Villainous?

Well now that this post is back I guess I will put my 2 slotting in

If i have a lot of recharge in my build I go with this slotting

2x Nucleolus Exposure
1x Golgi Exposure
1x Hecatomb: damage/Recharge
1xNumina's Heal/Endurance
1x Numina's Heal

That gives you

66.6% Accuracy
94.81% Damage
59.8% EndDiscount
95.33% Heal
33.13%Recharge

Now this one I went for Damage, ok recharge and ok heal

1x Numina's Heal/Recharge
1x Numina's Heal/End/recharge
1x Touch of the Nictus: Accuracy/Healing
1x Cushing Impact Damage/Recharge
1x Crushing Impact Accuracy/Damage/End
1x Hecatomb Damage
that gives you

47.7% accurcay
95.11% damage
42.40% EndDiscount
73.78% Heal
73.78% Recharge

Ok here is a Link To tell you all about IO. Here is a Contact in game that will teach you all about the Invention System.

In short Set bonuses are earned from slotting more than one distinct Enhancement from the same set into the same power. Set bonuses apply to the character at all times, regardless of the power into which the set is slotted.

If there is any more info you want you can find it on that site.
