    Why scrappers?

    do they? I would think having +100% damge across the board beats 10% crit. Having 50% dmg across the board probably beat it imo.

    Why scrappers?

    the reason I;m asking is that my Brute is a Fire/Shield and that set is also availbe to scrappers so obviously I want the better AT for that combo

    Why scrappers?

    I started a brute to level along side my MA scrapper. And it seems to me they play basically the same. Except Brute has Fury which past aroudn 50-60% makes all their attacks do like 100% more damage whre as scraps only gets like 10% crit chance.

    ALso brute have higher HP and sometimes more mitigation. As well as Frenzy makes them start with 100% fury on demand, so no building up so to speak.

    It seems to me Brutes are strictly better than scrappers, I'm just wondring is there anythign I missed that actually scrappers has that brutes dont?

    Farming?

    When you reach 50 you realized farming is probably the only end game you have.
    Basically 'is my gear ready to clear +2/x8 of <insert farm>?'

Without Rage, SS would be a joke of a set (look at how the set performs before level 28). Rage is simply so strong that you can't simply drop it into a set in place of BU (or any other BU variant) and expect it to remain balanced. No other sets are going to get Rage unless it gets a very hefty rebalancing then, and, even then, it's doubtful that other sets would get something akin to Rage because Rage is, where most people are concerned, SS's schtick. Giving other sets Rage would be like asking for other melee sets to be given combos like Dual Blades.
    well I wouldnt know about SS being borked without rage. KO blow is still nuts, Footstomp too, punch and haymaker aren't any worse than the other sets counter parts except for maybe smashing dmg.
  11. I don't know why Rage is exclusive to 1 set. When all others have the standard BU, ok except claws.
  12. I might do some 3d stuff too, if I'm not too busy. But it will take longer.

    Or in other words, follows the law only as long as it ties in with his own moral and ethical code


    He did it because he KNEW Luthor was a villain. He followed the spirit of the law and the greater good, rather than the letter of the law. Once again, his own moral code and ethics overruling the law of the land.

    IMO, doing that makes for a far better hero than someone who slavishly follows the strict letter of the law.
    Superman is NOT lawful neutral. He's Lawful Good. He follows the law as long as it doesn't deviate from Good. Its just that the setting he's in (US) happens to have laws that resemble he's own moral code and the idea of what is good (freedom, equality etc).

    I'm sure Clark Kent has no problems go on a reporting fact finding spree on corrupt politicians even if they are technically with in the law, unless in extreme cases like terriost cells where other people's live are at risk etc. He will never resort to violence or life/death unless he really has to. I mean REALLY has to.

    If he followed the law regardless of good/evil eh would be lawful neutral.

    /rant.

    So how would you all suggest altering Rage to make it more... fun? Personally I would remove the damage crash and replace it with a -recharge crash with the same duration. At least then I could still do something worthwhile with the powers I have available. At least then powers that I activate RIGHT at the moment rage is crashing would still be effective. At least then I wouldn't waste my delicious fiery embrace :0

    I know, I know, you can see it flashing when it's gonna run out, but it's easy to miss it, and I'm sure anyone here who plays SS knows how often and easy it is to miss that thing.
    would you like it if they just gave you a build up like the other sets?

    well obviously superman isn't going to kill someone, because he would just turn to a robot that changes behavior from good/evil depending where he was.

    He would (imo) either leave the country, or if the government is seriously breaching people's basic rights (eg. Nazi Germany) do something about it. Superman can think for himself like most people, he will obey the law until it pushes him to his limit (eg.point of going to evil), then he will stop.

    Quote:
    Actually he helped de-throne Luthor after Luthor rather smugly made him an outlaw. So not entirely.
    I havent read this so I have no idea what happened. But I doubt he did it out of spite or anything.

    wut? Superman adheres to the law and authority. I don't recall him ever going over and above it. Especially to the amount that would label him as a vigilante(eg Batman, 'I'm going to beat you up because you deserve it').

    As for life and death decisions, it doesn't matter if the option is available to him when the character will never pursue it. Just because he has the potential to do something doesn't have any effect on his character. Everyone has the potential to do evil.

    Quote:
    He does not kill no, but Death makes up only half of "Life and Death" after all :P
    well killing is inherently an evil action, and saving lives good. Which why alot of vigilantes are the 'kill people but for the greater good' types e.g. Punisher.

    His personal code doesn't permit him to decide if the person gets to die. Superman will 100% of the time choose to save the person. Its not considered a decision to him. Which is why he is lawful good and not a vigliante.

    If even once he has a mental debate of the pro/cons of letting a person die in a burning building and leaves the guy there to burn to death because he's a criminal or whatever. I'd say he's a vigliante.

    Until he does that, he's not a vigliante.

    Just because he chooses to always save lives and never kill doesn't mean he's not making that judgement. If it's not his own morals and values, one would have to ask who is enforcing those morals on him. He got them as he grew up, but nobody is forcing him to keep them except himself.
    Really? In that case Lex Luther would be dead by now. Since Superman would go after him even after he was cleared in court, because 'he played the system for the last time!!'. But that's obviously not how superman operates. He obeys the law (majority incarnations), and doesn't intervene with the process unless he absolutely has to. No doing vigilante actions.

    Quite thoroughly. Your argument was a clear cut matching of the four-alignment CoH system onto a subset of the classic 9-alignment system from D&D, and is clearly not correct. You then argued that a 2-alignment system would be more complex than a 9-alignment system, in an attempt to refute someone else's post which stated that the mapping of 9 alignments onto 4 is more complex (less transparent, harder to deduce without prior knowledge) than simply defining the 9 alignments. I pointed out that it is not that 4 alignments are more complex than 9, but that mapping those 9 alignments onto 4 generates complexity in the mapping process, so the equivalency is mapping the 9-alignment system to your proposed 2-alignment system. I contend that it is too complex to do so.
    Uh ok. So you're saying a 9 point system is more complex than a 4 point system, but trying to map the 4 point system to the 9 point one would get messy. Ok then I agree with that.

    So complciated infact that in an attempt to make life easier for eeryone we have to invent more classifications for things to even begin to make sense.

    As if you'll recall back before GR when we had two alignments, Villian (Evil) covered everything from people out only for profit, to people trying to make teh world confrom to what they thought was best by force to spycopathic killers.

    And that's just 'evil', the more general the label gets the more complicated it becomes to define exactly what it means and if a charater falls under it or not.
    Are you sure your don't have it the other way around? Generalization is what makes complicated things easier/quicker to grasp. Same with stereotyping etc. Its why people do it in real life all the time, rather than going into detail about everything, because 'that makes everything too complicated'.
