  1. See...

    That's one of the little gems of wisdom that is not included in the little pop-up info tools.

    There should be a setting ...something like "newb-buster" that you could turn on that would yell at you if you are about to do something catastrophically newbish.

    Just a thought...
    (Dev team ...get right on that if you would please)
  2. Please forgive my newbishness... but only 1 acc per attack ..?

    Isnt standard these day 2 acc, 3x Dam and then an end red or recharge

    Does claws have some built in accuracy bonus I dont know about...?


    Thanks
  3. To answer your questions...

    I did take Strike and Slash (as he is only level 9 at the moment) and with Ninja run as a decent (at least it feels like it to me) travel power so far I cant see the build getting that tight.

    As to influence to send I have roughly 30 mil or so between toons...(and I have my controller who is my main that is starting to bring in some cash).

    Thanks in advance...
  4. So I am going to try my hand at slotting some IO's in my new up & coming Claws/Regen scrapper...

    In all my time in CoX (almost 6 years now on and off) I have never ever slotted much less created any IO's.

    Is there a guide some where that shows the sets and bonuses and suggestion for which ones are best with each AT.
  5. Well....I have made a scrapper (again).

    This one is indeed a Claws/Regen (and he is already to level 8)

    Does anyone have a good build they can throw my way (those of you practiced in the art of Mid Fu). I dont PvP (and have no interest in it).

    Mostly Im looking for which (if any) powers to ignore and slotting suggestion.

    (or if there is a thread with a good build already that you know about and can point me in the right direction).

    I dont have (cant seem to get it to install) mids...so please post or send something that isnt in that giant column of random numbers format - because I wont be able to inport it and read it)

    Thanks...

    Dark Sux

    I have a playing buddy who made a Dual Blades/Will scrapper.....and I like the "look" if nothing else of Dual Blades..

    Just didnt know if it pairs well with Dark...(I dont have the time to level up multiple combos of power sets...need to try and get something that works well from the beginning).

    Dark Sux

    Ok...

    Just to ask the final question.... (if we assume - as I do now that DA doesnt Suck but in fact rocks)..

    Which primaries work best with DA (Claws, Kat, Dual Blades...??)






    Anyone....
  8. So can either Invul or SR tackle an AV solo

    I know people post all over that they Solo'ed this or that on +4/+85 or whatever. I usually just ignore that crap, but in all seriousness I do play Solo most of the time and it would be nice to not have to skip an AV ...
  9. So ....

    Is there a tip of the hat one way or the other in terms of Invul vs. SR ..?

    As I have said I have never played either of the sets to know if there would be any useful synergy (breaking out the big words) with Claws...
  10. I have a spines/DA scrapper as well as a Kat/Will scrapper...

    I would like to make a claws scrapper but Im unsure as to which secondary to take.

    I have never played Invul or SR... or is there something else that would be even better (dont say shields)

    Anyone...??
  11. I have seen lots of posts now about /Shields, /Electric even /Dark but not much about regen, willpower (other than its an easy starting set) or Super Reflex.

    Im going to be making a new scrapper and would like to try a secondary I have not used yet (which means Dark and Electric are out)..

    Could someone clue me into why Regen and SR seem to be "out of favor" these days (back when I first started every scrapper seemed to be regen or SR).

    Where there major game changed I missed while I was away...?

    Thanks for any and all 411...
  12. I have been gone from the game a while and Im interested in the possibility of this combo, However...

    I cant seem to find an updated guide written by anyone. I like to read the guides (though not all of them are great) just to get a feel for which powers are "must haves" and which ones can (or should) be skipped.

    I cant find anything like that for Electric Melee and/or Electric Armor....

    If there is one can someone point me to it....?

    Help.....
  13. I have recently move to a new server (to play with some friends) and have a controller to play as part of a team (or as a duo).

    However...

    I am often playing solo, so I am considering a scrapper. As the title suggests those are the ideas I'm playing with. Not interested in a Shield scrapper...(too many of them running around) and the Kat/WP seems less super hero'ish.

    Ultimately I would like a scrapper that can tangle with just about anything and live through it...

    Suggestions..??

  14. I have been gone from the game for a good long while (they had just put in the auction house when I stopped).

    I understand the basic mechanics of creating and making "invention" enhancements, I wonder about room for recipes.

    As I have been playing I keep getting recipe drops but I quickly fill up. Most of the recipes seem to be junk (low level stuff - unless someone is going to tell me its not junk) but occasionally I will get one that is obviously part of a "set" or something.

    Do we get more room to "hold" recipes as we level...?
    Once you have made one can you delete the recipe as it is now learned..?
    How can low level characters be running around with full "invention sets" ..?

    what am I missing...

  16. OK...I have a bad case of the alts. Always have (and it maybe on of the reasons I keep playing this game)

    My question is the following...

    Which Brute would be better when Teamed with a Demon/Pain MM...?

    We PvE only and I would like to have something that works well with him...rather than getting in the way.

    So which combo works better in the general opinion..?

    Thanks
  17. Title says it all...

    Im back to the game after a long layoff (stopped not long after Villains) came out so Im not as "up" on some of the new power sets.

    I do tend to lurk on the boards looking for info before I post but havent seen anything that answers my question. Whats the story...

    Doesnt seem to be much on them ...and from the kinds of info now being asked for they are certainly not a "favored" power set but I cant find info on why.

    Is it the re-draw (times 2), is it the base attacks are lower powered as its assumed you will use them in a combo...?

    Whats going on..?

    Drom
    (thinking of starting yet another Alt....a DB/WP brute for solo play)
  18. Why is Ele/Shield appear (at least from some of the threads I have seen) to be the hands down favorite now for scrapping.

    I have been gone for a while (long while) and was never the best Min/Max'er (I try but usually gave up once it was time to start breaking out the old slide rule).

    So can someone just lay the bag of snakes that is Ele/SD scrapping out straight for me and give me the the skinny as to why its apparently the top dog.

    My new alt will thank you.....

    In Game Mail...?

    So with I17 live now (at least I think its live) you are supposed to be able to mail Influence and insp/enhancements to other toons. Tried to mail some influence to another one of my own toons and it doesn't work (I press the send button and it doesn't send).

    Is this feature broken/not working yet...or is it limited to being only able to mail things to toons that are not on the same account (which would be kind of silly as that is the best use for it).

    Any clue would be great...

    Sonic/Dark

    So I have come back to CoX again (after a long time off) and again I have the same problem I did before......a bad case of Alt'itis. I cant seem to stop making new toons only to abandon them or delete them around level 8 or 9 (and I know that's not really enough time to truly judge a power set/combo).

    Question...

    I know that Fire is apparently the best damage output set (although with the changes that could be different now). but does Sonic do enough damage (single and AoE) that I wont constantly feel like Im chewing glass (running a Rad/Kin corrupter right now..and the damage output still seems low.....and yes...I know Im not to FS or the Rad's alpha strike power)

    If not...is there another combo that would work better (and please no /Kin or /Rad) as I have those...

    Thanks in advance...
  21. Tagging so I can find it again...

    This was everything I was looking for in one place
