In my head i imagine a build capable of at least completing a solo RWZ challenge, probably a double. which i would consider to be a good all around build, but i would think that an AV soloer build would be capable of such things. also i wouldn't dream of power restrictions....whatever exists and is available to any scrapper is fair game, so epic and patrons.

So based on all of the guides that are currently collated i see that we are missing a Claws/SR one that takes into account the upgrade of fitness to inherent status. With this in mind i would like to ask the scrapper community for suggestions on slotting out a new Claws/SR scrapper. there is a relative budget envisioned of around 1 billion, so PvP IO sets are likely to be out the window.

consider it to be nigh-unlimited.

I have recently reached 50 with my elec melee/elec armor scrapper and find myself at a loss as to how i should refine my build to reach the smashing/lethal softcap, and yet still deal atrocious amounts of AoE damage. (note that i do understand that there are much greater AoE builds out there (such as elec/shield) but i'm sticking to what i've got)

Suggestions for builds/IO sets, and incarnate slot abilities would be most welcome.

I was considering making a spines/fire scrapper, mostly because i like the idea of everything around me melting and dying without so much as needing to be my primary target, but I haven't found any up to date guides on Spines/Fire. So the main question i had for the boards is, Is spines/fire still a viable AoE build? or is spines/dark the new king?

from the server list it looks like virtue and freedom might be next.

I think we did indeed

EDIT: Proof that the devs need better servers, if just one MS raid can crash the whole thing, then something might be wrong.

The idea is interesting, and would definitely fit with some of the NPC nictus activity we have seen (not necessarily nictus backstory).

also, why not archive the idea in Lady Jades power suggestion thread?

*whines at being unable to play*

All of you are making me hate school even more than I already do...now I HAVE to go play ALL of these........when I get my gaming computer back I am not going to be able to sleep for a couple nights i think.

I have heard about the NaNoWriMo, and while I dont plan on doing anything about it this year, next year I think I can cook something up.

Oh and Samuraiko, The CoX character in WoW thing has been a silly little idea ive had in my head for a few years now. NO i wont write it, but hey I can still imagine it or write a short story on it and lock it away never to see the light of day.

well technically (AFAIK) as long as you dont use the phrase "Space marine" in character creation then you should be fine........and you usually wont get genericed unless someone reports you for it. Also dont use any of the copyrighted names and you should be good. If you are talking about the RP forums and not in game then yeah I am pretty sure you can.....if you cant and I'm wrong then you probably would get a warning from a mod and then a modsmack.

For the RP forums I cant see why they would say no though....one person I can think of uses a (again AFAIK) trademarked substance with one of his characters, and there hasnt been any whistle blowing or modsmacking.

GLEEEEEEEEEE! Guardian rocks!

0_0;; that REALLY doesnt bode well.....and are you sure that you arent Manticore in disguise?

*points to the two above posts*

Yeah see thats the sort of thing that was ruining the thread previously...and for the sake of writing stories, we arent necessarily going by hard data and numbers. IF we did then of course WoW would win due to the entirely different systems the games use, but for RP and storywriting's sake we equalize the two games to a certain extent.

Methinks that nelzor forgot, or simply doesnt care anymore. and while Nelzor's creations are his own please be aware that the other two accounts in this thread were originally posted in a thread titled "what would happen if..." in the scrapper forums.

I asked the rhetorical question of the scrapper community what they thought would happen if the games collided AND purely for the sake of argument, that the differences in HP,MP/END, and damage systems were equalized for the top level of each game. The varied responses came partly in mini-stories, and partly in arguments about facts which in turn gave way to the storytellers for boredom of the arguments. All in all, there were some fun stories woven, and If I ever decide to I might make one myself.

((okay lets begin.))

Bladewing stared openmouthed as the two men walked through the portal which Horowitz had been tinkering with. Ordinarily such portals were absolutely benign, but this one had been tinkered with by the product of the most deranged science ever known to exist ANYWHERE, and the tinkering had already split said produt into three identical copies.

Sighing to himself, Bladewing enchanted a small crystal and sent it through the portal to see if the boys had been put in some horrible situation at the power station, or wherever the portal went.

If it was a bad situation, Bladewing intended to make it a very bad situation....for Abdul.

Bladewing looked at the folder, then frowned.

"Take out New India's power grid? seems straightforward enough, do you have any specific information regarding the defense layouts?"

Glancing at the three Horowitzes, Bladewing slapped his own face as he imagined what trouble the triplicate Jaegermonster would unleash.

((I take it to mean that since we jumped into an alternate/past version of our world, and have been mucking up alharzed's area, we have somehow "destabilzed" time itself, and as such our little alternate past is going poof....i could be horribly wrong though.))

Bladewing turned in time to hear the word hat, and promptly catapulted himself 100 yards into the air, knowing full well that all hell was about to break loose.

And then while in midair, he recieved a message from the automated systems in his base. Paragon City was under assault by Abdul's forces and multiple weapons discharges had been detected in the atmosphere, the targets appeared to be both Paragon and the Rouge Isles.

Establishing a more secure link with his base, Bladewing left instructions for the computer.

"Engage shielding and obfuscation fields, keep all defense systems primed and ready, annihilate any opposing forces if they gain entry, and survive the orbital bombardment."

Bladewing looked at the zombies, smirked, and drew his sword and resheathed it in a lightning fast move. This action caused a crescent of energy to leap outwards at the approaching undead.

Leaping to follow his crescent, Bladewing drew his sword again and descended with an overhead blow designed to bisect anything it came in contact with.

Unless the zombie was very very sturdy, it would soon be a pile of broken putrescence on the floor.

"The plan? Kill everything that moves, take the book, destroy it, and in the mean time enjoy yourself in any way you deem fit!"

Walking ahead of the others, Bladewing tasted the air a few times and then launched a quick sense spell, seeking anything other than his fellow metas that was moving. And because the air tasted of death and decay, Bladewing sort of expected the undead...they were dealing with the NECROnomicon after all.

Bladewing found himself before a large and quite formidable looking blast door in the pyramid. A small slash from his sword made almost no visible mark on the door, so it was time to have some fun.

Tracing some symbols in the air, Bladewing adjusted his stance to tensed split legged stance, crouching down so he knees almost touched the floor, and then he sheathed his katana.

The scabbard began to glow and vibrate, small electric charges playing along it's filigree, arcing between the inset runes and the metal of the tsuba on the sword.

Grasping the hilt, Bladewing solemnly intoned"KurokenryuuIai SHYOUTENRYUU"

As he shouted the final word, he drew his sword, Slashed the door, and jumped at the same time. The result of which was that when he landed and resheathed his blade, the door looked exactly the same, except for a line of darkness directly along it's center, and a swirling ball of darkness at the top of the line.

When the katana clicked back into it's scabbard, the ball exploded downwards along the line, taking on the brief appearance of a dragon's head, before it slammed into the floor and the door toppled forward, sliced cleanly in twain by the force of Bladewing's technique.

Grinning at his work, Bladewing set off deeper into the fortress, drawing his sword once more and preparing for some serious bloodshed.

Bladewing's mouth dropped open as Dorian scored a direct hit on Horowitz and wasnt immediatly torn to shreds, then almost had to pick his jaw up off the floor when Horowitz started incinerating everything in front of him with what had to be the world's most freakish impression of a pissed off dragon.

"Wow..i have got to see if I cant get Dr Aeon to give me one of those maces."

Grinning much more widely than before, Bladewing doubled his pace, causing his blade to blur and crackle with the static electricity it created as it pushed aside the air itself.

Any trooper in his way was greeted with the sight of a sheet of darkness swinging towards him, followed by swift death and dismemberment.

Bladewing jumped through the portal, unsheathed his katana, and began and all out sprint towards the side of the pyramid. When he encountered Alharzed troops, body parts and blood flew, screams of anguish echoed, and general mayhem ensued.

"A warning to all of you guys behind me, if you get my path I dont garuntee your survival."

Spinning like a blender from hell, Bladewing continued to shred a path towards the same gatehouse that Horowitz had entered.
