A few more things I would change on it but honestly just try to get 45 defense to all 3 with some attacks and you should be all good.

[/ QUOTE ]

That is what I did with my build and it as worked out nice

[ QUOTE ]
What is the Resist Proc, I don't see that anywhere to build in mids?


[/ QUOTE ]

Mid as not been updated yet so it is not in there. It is a PvP IO that gives you +3% resist(?)

Ok well your build is ok when you are solo your def are only

Melee 43.8
Ranged 44.1
AoE 32.9

I would work on getting your AoE higher, the other 2 are good. Your Attacks are slotted ok, but I would slot Crane Kick different, Take out the Damage or the Damage/Recharge and put in the Proc, you will do more damage that way. I would put Hecatomb in Storm Kick it is your best DPS attack for MA.

I can see that you are going to have some end problems MA is bad with End so I would look into Conserve Power not focused Accuracy.

I wouldn't put that many slots into Phalanx Fighting one slot should be just fine, same with OwTS.

I would look in to Taking Cripping Axe Kick too it is a good attack and is better then Eagles Claw for DPS.

Here is my build for my MA/SD it is nothing great it is just the build that I use. Maybe someday I might put a lot more work into it but I'm happy with this build I did do the RWZ Challenge with this build so it works for me.

I hope this helps

This title sure looks familier...

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup same poster too...

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Things already mentioned in the thread:

Overlapping domination no longer giving the overlapping damage boost.
Psi secondary being retuned to me more like the (substantially weaker) blaster version.

Even Castle's example showed a nerf for one of the two powers he chose, assuming permadom of course.

So basically, the folks who spent the considerable effort to get permadom are understandably worried it may be a net nerf. The folks who don't bother to get permadom are also less likely to read the boards, and they're the ones getting buffed.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am going to say this ONE last time. It isn't a buff.As you stated" people getting buffed probably dont read the boards". The proposed change will do nothing except buff levelling doms that don't team. Late game will be " omfg I die like I did before".

Sorry. This proposal won't help anything for casual players.

[/ QUOTE ]

again you are being very closed minded and don't want to listen to anyone. If you are triple stacked dom and the only way is with a /Kin, you are not getting Nerf because that /Kin that was giving you SB to make you triple stacked dom will not be able to give you more then just SB. You ever heard of Fulcrum Shift? This is a power that the /Kin as that gives you a great damage bounes. So now because of this buff you will be able to do more damage then you ever could before. So now tell me how is doing more damage then you ever could before a Nerf?

[ QUOTE ]
For my money OwtS is a wasted powerpick, and certainly not worth slotting if you do take it, I say this because it's easy to hit the soft cap without it

[/ QUOTE ]

OwTS I don't think is a wast power at all it doesn't give you +Def it gives you +resis, +recovery and +Hit poitns which helps your regen out a lot. With soft capped def that +regen is that much better. I wouldn't put more then 2 slots in it but that is just me. So it is up to you if you like it or not some people will like it some wont.

[ QUOTE ]
Doesn't Chimera have +Acc? If you're sitting at just cap, you'll likely get hit a bit more than usual, I think. And remember, AVs get a 1.5 to hit multiplier, so even floored, they hit 7.5% of the time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes Chimera does in his bow.

I assume your talking about Dual blades click here to see all the combo for dual blades. Stalkers are on the bottom.

Nope not trick that is AV soloing it is a lot of luck.

[ QUOTE ]
Another thought is 4 fire/cold cor's. Everyone should be at defense softcap, and with 1 or 2 Sleet up every spawn to go with fireballs and fire breath, I can see them running through stuff quickly.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fix'ed

-res and - def is great, but it is later game at lvl 35.

Fire/Fire
MA/SD

[ QUOTE ]
oh, so RttC is considered an offensive toggle?, That makes sense then....So, /regen for example wouldn't have that issue, because integration isn't considered an offensive toggle, right?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes integration would not detoggle because it only affecting your self, it is just like Mind Over Body and Indomitable Will.

/Regen is good because of all of the clicky it has like Reconstruction, Dull Pain, Instant Healing(I don't know if this power is good in PvP) and Moment Of Glory.

[ QUOTE ]

I don't understand though why RttC gets detoggled when all my other toggles don't.

[/ QUOTE ]

When you get Mezz in PvE or PvP all of your offence of toggles will detoggled. So that would be RttC for /WP, Blazing Aura for /Fire and Against all odds for /SD to name a few.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Padding post count.

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]
That's unfair to those who earn their post counts honestly. Without farming threads for posts.

For example:
Moderator_0U812
Arcanavillage
Bad_Influence
Chieta_Cops
Johnny_Putane
_Ultimoses_
and so many more...

All these (possibly fictional) posters only post to pour out their hearts and souls into making this a better game, nay a better world, for all of us.
For shame, padding post counts and trivializing the honestly earned post counts of these noble, selfless (possibly fictional) people!

+1

[/ QUOTE ]

I know I could I do such a thing I feel so bad about it now! How could I have ever do that and here I go again will this padding post count will it ever end...

Yes take it, it gives you perception and it is your defence for Energy, Negative, fire and cold.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Okay, I stand corrected...this might the silliest thing I've ever read yet....on these forums.

[/ QUOTE ]

Takes the cake for me.

Points for creativity, though, I can honestly say I haven't seen this suggestion before. It's that ingenious.

[/ QUOTE ]

fix'ed

[ QUOTE ]
Padding post count.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well for PvP I have heard good things about /regen

4 empathy/Sonic Defenders.

Eveyone has 3 fortitudes on them so all have soft capped def.
you have 4 recovery aura and 4 regeneration auar so gerat recovery and great regeneration rate.
Everyone will have Adrenalin Boost so they well have 100 recharge.
The 4 sonic will make eveyone have -res so boss EB and AV will go down fast and eveyone will bo doing great damage.

[ QUOTE ]
my defenses are even worse. I constantly get RttC detoggled &amp; constantly get hit with status effects &amp; kb/knockup.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry to tell you that is /WP in the new PvP. Everyone gets Mezz and that will detoggled your best power which is RttC. Most PvP players will tell you to stay away from /WP for PvP.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Dual pistols and demon summoning will be added.

[/ QUOTE ]

Has that been officially confirmed? We're getting new characters that use them, yes, but then we still have signature heroes and villains with powers we can't have.

Plus, the bad guy in the video is only using a single handgun.

[/ QUOTE ]

Uk Boards
[ QUOTE ]
Thanks to Mongoose for this one:
[Local] Positron: Demon Summoning? Dual Pistols?
*few minutes later*
[Local] Positron: DIdn't I hint at two new powersets above?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not confirmed but it looks like it.

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, so what's stopping the OP from using broadsword? He's supposed to be a pirate with a sword, if he wants to be believable, he'll grab BS.

That was the point of the link and link-quote.

[/ QUOTE ]

Also The OP said the the hook was in the right hand.
[ QUOTE ]
otherwise they would have put the sword in the RIGHT hand, not the hook.

[/ QUOTE ]

As you can see in the link the Hook is on the left had not the right. Yes if you are Kat which using both hands it will look funny.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Read the thread chronologically starting with my post, then ending with your last post. You will see that the typical forum dudes began rudely going against my feelings and experiences in the game as of late. Then when you get to your post realize that it was indeed an insult. Take your own advice. I play defense because I feel I have to and it is fun so :/

[/ QUOTE ]


Just an FYI Ares,

If your going to go thru your thread and edit your posts to make it seem like your the victim of bullying, you need to remember that the edits you make will not be reflected in what the other posters originally quoted you as saying. The things you said are still there for everyone to see.

Also the forum identifies that you made an edit on your post so everyone knows you have changed what you first said to something else.

[ QUOTE ]

All you have done is ruin what little credibility you have left.

[/ QUOTE ]

Funny thing about this you said it before he called a little kid a retard and then when back and edited it.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Worst.Thread.Ever.

Not a single redeeming thing in it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Getting caught in a stealth-edit where he called a little kid a retard?

Telling Bill he "doesn't contribute" to the CoH community?

BI defending the most indefensible person since Jeffery Dahmer?

C'mon, this thread is a fountain of hilarity!

[/ QUOTE ]

QFT

Well I just got my MA/SD scrapper up to 50 this week and it was a really fun combo to play. I never did like MA tell I paired it with /SD.

Soft capped def is good to go with but it is not easy to do and is not always the best to do. You also want to get ok recharge in your build too. Now I would say aim for 20%+ melee def it is not a high number but it is good def and will help out alot. Here is a simple build that does not cost a lot of inf. It as good melee def and ok recharge and it is a good way to go with your slotting.
