I dont care about the shadowy effects...a wolf doesnt look appropiate for this set to me.. not as level 32 power...

/necro!

Thats very helpful, indeed. Yesterday I started compiling a list of story arcs (I'm not going to do EVERY contact, I'm happy with doing every story arc) and I noticed a few things:

- Only 2 arcs form level 5-9? (Both of them in the Hollows)
- The intro arcs (Twinshot, etc) are not included
- First Ward is not there
- There are no Story Arcs from 25-29??

I'm trying to find a contact guide for First Ward. I will share my list once I finish it, if anyone wants it.

I started yesterday my StJ/WP scrapper, too, for this. So far she is level 6, just finished AE intro and Twinshot arc, and she is ready to head to the hollows!
As Blue Centurion said, I had to stop XP at level 4 to finish all the intro arcs (and get atlas saviour badge!), then kill a few mobs to hit level 5, then twinshot called me. I should also do one or two sewers runs, for the bonuses (and the badges!)

As a note of interest, I made 2 macros:
/option_set NoXP 1 //This will turn off XP gains
/option_set NoXP 0 //This will turn on XP gains

In the end, I rolled a scrapper (the brute will be Dark/Dark). Now you can keep discussing mechanics, which I find quite valuable to help me understand the game a bit more

Thanks for this, I will play with mids a bit more once I get home

This sound freaking awesome and interesting. I guess you are also doing the safeguard missions?

My question is: Do you have a list or something similar, of each contact, levels, etc? I would really like to try something like this, but I dont think I will dare without a checklist or something similar to a contact guide

Hi!

This is my project of StJ/WP, which I will roll as soon as I get my monthly point to buy stj

I was trying to softcap S/M, but after some playing with mids I got this build, which is a purple insp away of capping, S/L/E/M, I guess thats better

Anyway I could improve this? Money is not an issue, except for pvp ios (for now), and I dont mind slotting purple sets IF they help improving some point of interest (like helping getting the last few % for something)

Im not sure if the numbers of regen and recover are fine. This is my first serious scrapper (my only melee toon is a SOed fire/fire tank which I rolled during I3), so any advice would be welcome. I went with soul mastery because of Shadow Meld (and to have a ranged attack in case I need it), but not sure if Body Mastery would be better

Anyway, this is the build. Any suggestion and comment is more than welcome

Market forum --->
I bid one level 2 damage TO

He (she?) wants a musician widow and a sorceress fortunata

Thanks for everything, you gave me a lot of insight with this "discussion" and I think I learned a lot of thing

Im still undecided, but I will probably roll a scrapper, since Im also rolling a dark/dark which will be a brute (and anyway I still need to wait for my paragon points to buy StJ)

Great job!

I dont have time to fully read it now, but I will surely do along the day. One quick comment: Seems you forgot Ice Domination as secondary? Is a beast set, with ally +def buffs, aoe stealth, +recovery buffs, and killer debuffs. It may very well compete with Radiation as AV killer

Deleted

What would you choose and why? Mostly for soloing, and some TF/iTrials

I have the feeling that the scrapper would be faster, but im not sure if the hit points difference between both ATs will make WP a lot better for brutes

Yes, you can re-allocate your slots (but only in the same server)

And whatever you unlock as premium, you keep it

Thanks everyone!

I have the Defense LotG on the shields for the 10% regen. Since I have no way of healing myself (other than insps), I thought it was a good choice. And if Im going to buff someone, I can do it better

I like hoverblasting. Swapping hover for CJ is not an option. I know it would be better, but my concept wants hover

I also like Flash. Is my only hard AoE control. Granted I have a lot of aoe control with PA + Spookie, but I really want this.

Ive been playing a bit with mids, cannot post the build now, but my goals:

- Short term: replace snowstorm for frostwork with an IO healing. Since I dont use SS, I may very heal heal my phantasm when he starts eating AoEs

- Long term. Replace Ice Blast and Ice Storm for their respectives purple sets. Move the chance Build Up from Decimation to SW. Remove all slots from Spectral terror (I wont need the recharge any more), and add a damage IO to blind, a Acc/damage HO in SW, full slot sleet with 4xprocs(3 damage, one -res)+acc+rech. Remove Kismet from Hover (get a lotg +recharge from SI/AF/epic shield) and put it there. I think I can also remove one or two slots form hasten and have it perma, so I would probably add more damage somewhere, or the posi proc to Ice Storm.

Sorry if that sounds like a mess, Im writing this from memory since I dont have access to mids right now, but I spent some time yesterday following the wise advices you guys have thrown at me


I know Im not doing too many sacrifices, and I could get a build with more defense with some power changes, but really Im loving my power choices, and they fit what I have in my mind for this character.


And im having a hell of fun with it Hit 50 yesterday and I'm half done through the incarnate unlock arc! Woho my first incarnate char!


Again, thanks a lot for your time

Thanks for your opinions! Already made my TW/WP brute, seeing that seems to be the right choice.

As for my DA/ Tank, I like the idea of MA, KM, DM. But im not sure how important will be having a end recovery skill, like the one in DM. This may be the seller for me, although I'm not sure about the damage capabilities of DM

Hi,

I usually play ranged/support/control characters, but lately Ive been thinking on making some meleers, since I also enjoy being there and protecting the squishies

I want two characters:

One will be Titan Weapon and Willpower.
The other will have Dark Armour and ???. Initially I was thinking on pairing it with Dark Melee, but I'm open to suggestions. No Fire, I already have a Fire/Fire tanker. It seems that DM is pure single target damage with just a cone for aoe

Now, I want at least one tanker. I dont mind if the other is another tanker, or a brute. I dont want a scrapper right now, although is not completely discarded. I like helping and protecting my team, thats why I thought on a Tanker first, but then I remembered that a Brute is also almost as tough as a Tank

What would you choose and why?

If slotting is going to be taken into consideration, budget is ample (but not unlimited). If I enjoy the character I will put almost anything there. Im not going to pay for damage purple sets or pvp ios which cost anyway from 400mill-2bill (at least, not yet). But anything below that is acceptable

I just went VIP recently, so not sure if I will incarnate them. That will depend on how much I enjoy them

So, what are your thoughts?

I'm not sure what I want...right now I solo fairly well... im soloing at x0+3 with np, but sometimes I get into teams going +1/x6 and can solo spawns, depending on the enemy. I guess until I dont get to 50 and finish slotting I wont see what I'm lacking

I like most of my power selections. When soloing I keep SI on, and just send PA-Spectral Terror-Sleet-Ice Storm. Then I start Hoverblasting: Blind-SW-Blast-SW. I throw some deceives if there is something worth confusing, a particular dangerous enemy, or just a mob that is annoying me.

In teams I swap SI for Arctic Fog, and mostly same tactic applies.

Flash is used as a Panic button (although is not really great with the longish animation)

The power that I *never* use is Snowstorm.

What would I like? Probably a bit more defense *just in case*, or more Damage to speed the soloing. Perma HeatLoss would be nice too, but I think I can work with 10 seconds of downtime. So I guess my priorities would be Damage>Defense>Recharge, unless someone can advice something different

About budget...Im still learning the market fu, but I think Im having enough success at it. The above build is complete, everything waiting for me to be 50 (well, everything I couldnt slot yet, mostly the purple sets). The next step to improve it would be damage purple sets, if I enjoy the char enough to warrant it Im not keen on spending 2bill on a single enhancement (not yet, at least)

Thanks for answering!
