Somehow people almost completely forget DM/Regen these days, despite the fact that with ToF three slotted for To hit debuff it can be harder to hit than an SR scrapper, as well as the Mez aspect.

In conclusion, the Scrapapocalypse win the internet. QED.

Free trials win the internet.

Does that mean there could be more action in some pvp zones. Can never get enough of ganking heroes .

If you do have afew of yourselves about this weekend I am sure could get some of my supergroup (EVIL) for some battles. I never really had the chance to fight scrapapocalypse apart from individual members. I think that MM still has nightmares from you one shotting him Chives lol.

Hypocracy!

Seriously though, well done Doc.

I can recomd both the DarkWings and the 1AT coalition.

For the DarkWings contact @Lifeline @Azomas or @Li Sensei

For the 1AT head to their forum Clicky

I'll be there with Bleak Element, who's 22 at present but could be as high as 24 by tommorow.

You didn't kill me, though .

That and the fact that the base raiding system was bugged .

I should be there if all goes to plan with Dust., the Earth/Kinetics controller. If I can't make it for whatever reason, I'll make sure you know in advance.

See here.

Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy

They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
I said
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming

And that time over at Johnny's place
Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
I said
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

Spread the word around
Guess who's back in town

You spread the word around

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you'd better let them

That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
Spread the word around
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boy's are back, the boys are back

The boy's are back in town again
Been hangin' down at Dino's
The boy's are back in town again

Great drawing Blind. An evil Tinkerbell for modern times .

Awesome picture, nice one Jet.

My votes so far (as an occassional, ex-regular GGer)

<ul type="square">[*]Max - thoroughly awesome guy with the ability to stay neutral when he wants to stay neutral [*]Prize - He's a poker player, he knows how to bluff and deceive everyone into resolving their arguments (and voting for him). Another great guy.[*]Red - I don't really know Red Commissar, but from all accounts he had been portrayed as a great person and community member, so I'll happily stand by him.[/list]

I might actually be in Cormwall the friday before one of those weekends, I'll find out later today.

Rogue?

Have you confirmed it isn't possible to take them to court and demand refunding/replacement? Warranty or not, you still have your consumer rights.

Having completed all the 25-30 content other than the SF on my Brute, I thought it would be fun to try soloing the SF .

If anyone has a villain above 25 and would like to help out (I need 3 people + myself to start it) it would be greatly appreciated .

Grats, always good to see another SR at 50 .

EDIT: And another Dark Melee scrapper, for that matter.

I think, Imaginary, we have not so much a difference of opinion than a different way of interpreting what I have said.
The comment was more a reassurement for players who may have had their powerset choices pooh-poohed than hard fact, as the guide was purposely writen to be newbie friendly.

SR toggles only really need one endred if you have stamina - Flitz has rarely had endurance problems since hitting level 20.


[/ QUOTE ]

Not if you want to run any other toggles on top of it. (Most scrappers will go for Foccused Accuracy after 40, for which you will need more end red in your toggles.)

I've had my SR at 50 for a long time now, and I can tell you that up untill about a month ago, the standard response for beating someone with an SR was "Holy [censored]!"

SR hasn't been considered useless in PvP since I5, but only recently has it been considered an equivalent to Regen.

In this brief guide I will go over powers, slotting and the maths behind Super Reflexes.

Maths

I think the maths is a good place to start, as it gives you more insight when thinking about how to build your SR scrapper.

Quoted from Geko:
[ QUOTE ]



First, we need 2 things: The attackers ToHit (this includes all ToHit Buffs and debuffs), the targets Defense (this also include all Defense buffs and debuffs). We then do the following:

(Total_To_Hit – Total_Defense)

That value is clamped between 5% and 95%. That is, you can never have more than a 5% chance to hit or miss a target. So if a target’s Defense is greater than the attacker’s ToHit, the attacker will still have at least a 5% chance to hit.

We then multiply that number by the power’s total Accuracy (total Accuracy = Accuracy + the power’s Accuracy Enhancements).

We again clamp the values between 5% and 95%.

So to sum up:
((Total_To_Hit – Total_Defense), 0.05,0.95 MinMax) x ACC = Chance To Hit.


[/ QUOTE ]


If you have all three 6 defensive powers aside from Elude turned on in SR, your defence will total at roughly 30%. Since I7, all enemies up to 5 levels above your own will have a Total To Hit of 50%, making only the accuracy of enemies in PvE (Player versus Environment, i.e. Not PvP) matter in most situations, and not the To Hit. This change has increased the popularity of SR dramatically.

Powers

The downside of an SR scrapper is that you will most likely want to take all the powers in your secondary (All though unlike Dark Armour or Regen, you won't have to take any pool powers to supplement your secondary.)

The bulk of SR powers can be separated into Passives and Toggles. Toggles must be turned on and cost endurance to maintain, while passives are always on, cost no endurance to maintain, but offer a smaller benefit to defence. Passives also have a special function that means that when you are on low health, each passive grants roughly 20% resistance each, totaling to 60%.
There are 3 kinds of toggle and passive: Melee, Ranged and Area of Effect (AoE).
Melee grants defence to single target powers that must be used in close-quarters. The melee toggle is Focused Fighting, and the melee passive is Dodge.
Ranged grants defence to single target powers that can be used at range. The ranged toggle is Focused Senses and the ranged passive is Agile.
AoE grants defence to all powers that effect multiple targets. The AoE toggle is Evade and the AoE passive is Lucky.
A fifth passive, Quickness, exists which both boosts your run speed, and shortens the time taken for your powers to recharge.
It is also worth noting that all your defencive powers grant 'Defence DeBuff resistance' meaning that the effect of powers that lower your defence will be lowered.
The other two SR powers are 'clickys', powers that are activated, have an effect that goes away after a set time, and then must recharge before they can be used again. These powers are Practised Brawler, and Elude.

Practiced Brawler is definitely an essential power, as it grants resistance to status effects such as holds, sleeps, disorients, immobilizes and knockbacks, things which will all stop you doing what you want to do, and although Practiced Brawler is a clicky, it can be made 'perma' meaning that it is always active, and can even 'stack', which means it can have its effect doubled for a period of time.

Elude is the last power in SR, and its what is known as a 'panic button', it increases your Defence greatly, as well as giving smaller boosts to run speed and endurance recover, as well as reducing the recharge time of your powers. However, when the effect of elude runs out, it leaves you completely out of endurance for a short while, and nothing short of using an endurance inspiration will give you any endurance during that time, so Elude is generally only used when things get hairy.

It is also highly recommended that you take stamina and health from the fitness pool, as these two powers will drastically lower your downtime.

Slotting

It is recommended that you slot all passives with 3 Defence enhancements (except quickness, obviously), increasing their effectiveness by 60% of their base value.
Toggles should be slotted with 3 defence Enhancements and 2 endurance enhancements, increasing their effectiveness by 60% of their base value and reducing their cost to run significantly.
Practiced brawler should be slotted with at least 2 attack rate enhancements, as this will make it perma.

There is a bit more freedom of choice to effectively slot elude, most people use 3 Defence and 3 Recharge, but some people choose to but Endurance modification enhancements in it so they can run powers such as Whirlwind.

SR in PvP

SR has always been considered second best to Regen in PvP, however, this is simply not the case. While Regens are excellent fighting Blasters and other Scrappers, SR can excel fighting defenders and controllers, as they have a good chance of dodging the debuffs/controls and have resistance to defence debuffing, where Regen has no protection against -Regen.

I hope this guide has helped you, have fun dodging!
