How about we substitute Story Arcs for Mayhem/Safeguards?

[/ QUOTE ]

Or better yet, have Safeguards be another option for reciepes! I have no problam with Story Arcs, other than the fact that they screw 50s.

Your just high

There are repeatable missions, but I don't think those are arcs.

Inventions has been touted as something that shelved level 50's can partake in. Level 50's that have completed all their story arcs already. Please, how can both of those occur? Level 50's can not experience IO's if they are locked out of acheiving specific rewards because they happened to hit the level cap before I9.

It's like I said, we are looking into other options that keeps the mechanic of the four pool system. Our intention is to not make people feel "gimped" for previously completing all their story arcs.

Please keep this in mind when posting. No need to get too worked up folks! We appreciate the feedback, thanks!

Lighthouse, my own personal opinion is this:

If we can't go back and do our story arcs, and there's no way we can sway you from granting reciepes off them, then why can't we just award a reciepes to the whole team, when a story arc is completed? Sure this would cause a lot more reciepes to be accessed, but the chance would still be unlikely that you would get an ultra-rare drop out of it.

Dr. B

Thanks for clearing this up, I still don't like that 50s will have to re-do the story arcs on alts, but it's good to know that the majority of reciepes will be based on enemy defeat.

gah thats hard...pvp is definantly up there, but i <3 the costume maker...

So…YOU want to be a Claws Scrapper?

First off, let me say welcome to the life of a scrapper. If played and built right, you can and will be envied by every other archetype. Of course, if built wrong, you will be laughed at…and this is where I step in. Claws is the highest DPS set in the game, how ever it has no extreme damage attacks. However the low endurance and fast recharges really makes claws shine in the long haul.

Now that we’ve gone over that, lets get into the powers. In this section I will write down each power in the set, along with all the specifics about it. Then I will give you my personal opinion on the power, and why or why not you should take it. So...lets go!
Swipe
Recharge-1.2 (Very Fast)
Range-Melee
End Cost-2.912
Damage-Minor
You can either pick this, or Strike as your first power. This could help in lower levels, around 1-10, but after this it will be a waste. Even at level 1, Strike is a lot more helpful then this. Defiantly shippable, nothing special here.

Strike
Recharge-3.2 (Fast)
Range-Melee
End Cost-4.16
Damage-Moderate
A pretty good first power, and will be relied on heavily as you level up into your lower teens. The recharge is good, as it will be up all the time as you get to the higher levels in the game. This is the one to pick out of the first two for sure.

Slash
Recharge-4.8 (Moderate)
Range-Melee
End Cost-5.49
Damage-High
Another good claws attack. Does more damage then Strike, but recharges a little slower. Also this attack takes down the defense of your foe, making him easier to hit for the next few attacks. You will want this power no doubt, at level 50 you will still use this power a lot.

Spin
Recharge-12.1 (Slow)
Range-PBAoE
End Cost-9.152
Damage-Moderate
Your first, and only, PBAoE attack. While this power is available at level 6, you will want to probably wait, and get something from your secondary power set. This power becomes very useful at higher levels, as you can direct your enemies to clump them together, and then hit them all with Spin. It does the same amount of damage as Strike, just to as many as up to 17 people. So get it when you can, but get it before 30.\

Follow Up
Recharge-15 (Slow)
Range-Melee
End Cost-7.8
Damage-Minor
The Claws version of “Build Up”. Unlike other Build Up powers in other Scrapper sets, FU is an attack, that must hit to function. If it does hit, it increases your damage by 50% and your accuracy by 20%, which is less than a traditional BU. However, if you have specific powers (Hasten, Quickness, etc), you can keep FU on twice for your superior attacks. This power is usually over looked, but it helps a lot as well, specially against Boss/Elite Boss/Arch Villain fights.

Confront
Recharge-3 (Fast)
Range-80ft
End Cost-None
Damage-None
This is the equivalent to a Tanker’s “Taunt” power. This power can pull a foe off of someone that is attacking a teammate, and make it attack you instead. Sounds dumb I know, but it is very handy, especially when your healer is in trouble, and he needs to get away from the mobs of baddies.

Focus
Recharge-6.4 (Moderate)
Range-40ft
End Cost-6.8224
Damage-High
Ahh…finally, your first awesome, main attack. This is a ranged attack that shoots a burst of energy from your claws at a foe. I cannot emphasize how important this power is. The animation is very fast, and the recharge is just as good. As a bonus, it can knock some foes down, depending on their KB protection. Again…you want this power.

Eviscerate
Recharge-8.4 (Slow)
Range-Melee (Cone)
End Cost-8.84
Damage-Superior
Another very good attack. This power has a lengthy animation time, but it pays off with having awesome damage. As a bonus, this power has a narrow cone, that can affect anywhere from 1-5 people on it. Also it has a special bonus that allows it to have a better percentage to land a critical hit on who ever is affected by it. My advice, however, if you get this power is to use it like a single target attack, but if anyone else gets hit, the more the merrier.

Shockwave
Recharge-12.1
Range-30ft (90 degree Cone)
End Cost-10.5248
Damage-Moderate
Your final attack, and instead of getting an extreme attack, you get a wide cone one. Disappointing? Definantly not. This power can and usually will knockback anyone who is affected by it, and can be used in a lot of different ways. For example, you can use Shockwave, and get everyone clumped together, use Eviscerate to get multiple foes in it, and then use Spin to finish them off. Again, you will want this power.




I hope this guide proved informative, however we are not done just yet, to summarize what I’ve said, or to just give someone the basic good vs bad of Claws…here’s a pro’s and con’s of the set.

Pro’s
-Lowest endurance cost
-Best DPS set in the game
-Lots of knockback

Con’s
-No extreme damage power
-again, lack of Burst Damage

guide to Claws/Regen [I7]

based on my 50 Claws/Regen

dang, how did u do that?? the picture in ur sig that is lol

Ok I didn't know how to explain it in any other way, but I was curious about how people had there powers, chat trays, and navigation set up on there screen. Heres mine...

My UI Setup

Simply put, where can I find software that lets me record videos of my computer screen? I want to start recording short films of the SG, and I wanted to know where to go and how much its gonna cost me :P.

Well, here goes nothing...powers will be "judged" by the number of it has
booo
if u need it, or nothing else is available
pretty good
very nice =)
z0mg g3t 1t

Swipe
Basic attack, fast recharge, minor damage, sub-par damage, definantly skippable, nothing special about it =P
Rating -

Strike
Either this or swipe, and this is definantly better, pretty fast recharge and decent damage, will be used a LOT during the lower levels.
Rating -

Slash
This is another good power to get, does more damage then Strike, and with a good recharge timer. As a bonus it lowers defense a little bit.
Rating -

Spin
Another good attack, how ever I didn't get it until about 26, but if you can fit it in earlier, definantly do so. It does about the same damage as Strike, but in a circle around you. It has a slower recharge than Strike however.
Rating -

Taunt
Eh, only get this if it is in your concept, or you just have no other powers to get...a typical taunt, used to pull foes to you or off someone.
Rating -

Follow Up
The "build up" for claws you could say. It's an attack that does about the same damage has Swipe, but it increases your damage and accuracy for a little bit. It has a surpisingly fast recharge, and with hasten, you can keep it on through a whole fight, and sometimes two times during one.
Rating -

Focus
Your first "bread and butter" attack. An awesome ranged attack that can knockdown your target. Does very nice damage with good recharge, definantly a must have.
Rating -

Eviscerate
Another awesome attack, does a little bit more damage than Focus, but with a longer animation. It's a cone attack, but its a pretty narrow cone, I use it as a single target atttack my self. Recharge is about the same of Focus
Rating -

Shockwave
Just like the previous 2, this power is very nice to have. It does semi-average damage, about the same of strike, but it has a very handy knockback that affects foes in a wide arc. Very useful for setting up Spin or a multi-foe Eviscerate.
Rating -

Recommended Power Pools
Super Speed/Hasten
Increases recharge for 2 minutes. Extremly useful in a lot of situations
Rating -

Fighting/Tough and Weave
Nice to have, Tough provides some resistance to smashing and lethal damage. Weave gives some defense to melee and ranged attacks.
