    Understandable.

    If you go from 7% s/l def to 30 or more, you will definitely notice a difference. If you manage to softcap, you will notice an even bigger difference.

    shadowfall and scorpion shield do not detoggle but may have their values decreased since they are "defensive toggles"

    EDIT: Thought i would mention this but it is purely my point of view. Resistance toggles on squishies are not that useful. Sure you take a little less damage, but it still hurts!! It isnt a large amount of resistance and you do not have the HP of a brute or even a scrapper to be able to take many of them. That being the case, it is better to avoid as many attacks as you can, and only get hit by a couple attacks and take full damage from those few that actually hit.

    And like i said, i am not positive but i do think that s/l defense will help with the stun issue
  2. eh, idk it looks ok. There is another thread about claws/elec where i posted a build and so did a few others.

    You are sayign to drop swipe as well? uh, there needs to be an updated claws guide. I have read one place to take strike and not swipe and another to take swipe and not strike. i is confused

    How much S/L do you have right now? If you have very little defense and then go to a soft capped or even a relatively high amount of defense (say 30+) with all the tohitdebuffs, you should see a huge difference.

    With the enduranec usage, i was refering to if you were running tough, weave, and manuvers + your patron shield, you would probably see some problems.

    I just dinged a fire/dark to 50 last night, i took scorpion shield. I have read different things, but most say that somewhere between 95-98% (depends on who said it really) of attacks in the game include soem form of smashing/lethal component to them. This includes debuffs and mez stuff to my understanding.

    That said, my build has 37, almost 38% s/l defense. The tohit debuffs make up for the rest as far as im concerned.

    EDIT: Forgot to mention, i didn't take any kind of leadership or fighting pool powers. If you start taking those powers, you will run into some serious endurance problem and make the dark mastery pool a must IMO.
  5. I am confused as well and its my build haha. The only want i would think you could get all of them is drop shockwave and pick up strike or swipe, whichever you dont ahve. I had been having strike in the build, but read somewhere that swipe is a better attack due to its shorter animation time. Anyway, if someone could post what attacks to take as this is my first claws character as well (i just play with mids alot and have like 40 builds for different stuff haha). Thanks
  6. That build will easily cost billions. It is what i plan on doing for my claws electric but it is a long ways off.

    I take swipe cause its cast time is less than a second, which means you can do another attack to build fury.

    I had eviscrate in the original build, but was told to drop it for shockwave becasue it is a better AoE. Eviscrate has a very long animation, although it does deal good damage, it actually slows down your DPS.

    You could take power surge to level with, but once you have defense as high as this build has on top of your resistance, it isn't needed.
  7. yeah it fudged up. let me try again

  8. Not very experienced with TA, but I would not take the snipe unless you really want it. Chances are you will be in the middle of everything that is going on dropping AoEs and will not get it off. I would take combat jumping for +defense and you can put a LotG recharge IO in there.

    On a side note, with the build you posted you are going to have major endurance issues IMO, your net gain is pretty low. If you can maybe put a mirical +recovery in one of your health slots. It is going to be hard to get your end usage down with those toggles though, my /cold has leadership and has horrible end drain but heatloss saves her.
  9. I have never used hibernate, but I am a huge fan of scorpion shield. Like you said it makes it so much easier building defense and think it is the best power a corruptor can take from his epics or patron based powers, i use it on all of my corruptors.
  10. Its expensive but here you go

  11. I took mace APP and think it is really nice. The defense on top of the -tohit is awesome and honestly, i don't have much of an endurance problem. The aoe imob also helps keep people in the RoF that manage to get out of the tar. I would highly recommend going with it for scorpion shield.
  12. ah ok thanks for clearing that up
  13. I was reading a post that mentioned VEATS and then mentioned Huntsman as a 5th type of VEAT that can be built? I always just thought it was a Bane spider...shows how much i know.
  14. electric, ninja blade, DM, most of them are pretty solid
  15. This kinda angers me. It completely goes against the entire concept that a stalker is built around IMO. That is what made stalkers appealing over scrappers (well the fact that you have stealth along with being able to control when you critical hit someone). I know you still have assassins strike, but like you said KM has no heavy hitting attack other than that in which you can make crit....come on devs!
  16. that is depressing. So concentrated strike does not crit out of hide? *sigh*
  17. I haven't played thet set yet, but looking at it (and this is pure speculation), being able to control your critical hit with concentrated strike sounds awesome. Hit build up, concentrated strike, placate, build up and assassins strike the next target. Or something along those lines anyway. Once you figure out the right order and when you need/want build up to be auto recharged, it could be very nice.
  18. melt armor doesnt really do that much for you, like 7.5% resistance or something? Big whoop. The fury changes are good, phyiscal perfection may be a good choice, but fireball from pyre would be an AoE machine so, the choice is yours
  19. /cold is good for solo once you get sleet....its a long long road to sleet though.
  20. Where are you finding all this info about i19? I just finished reading the patch notes for i18 *scratches head*
  21. rad and cold have nasty - regen debuffs. Cold is awesome but rad may be a bit safer due to its -tohit debuff and self heal. Rad as a primary is kidna weak, i would suggest fire unless you just want one of those primaries for theme.

If you're facing Fire or Toxic damage, Fiery Aura is pretty darned rugged, and since Smashing/Lethal damage is the only resistance you can get from a power pool, the Smashing/Lethal weakness isn't as weak as it looks. That just leaves Cold (lol), Energy, and Negative damage as poor resistances, with Psionic being an intentional complete hole.
    I am not knocking /FA, i like the set, but good against toxic? Toxic is one of its holes is it not? The only resistance you get from it is when you use healing flams. My healing flames is slotted for resistance (4 reactive armors and 2 miricales) and it still only gives 22.6% resistance. Anyway, my 2inf.
  23. /rad static teams are very popular and the two of you could do very well with /rad toons. I might suggest maybe doing a fire/rad and a dark/rad. Fire has insane power and crazy AoE, and dark blast has a nice cone immob to keep the baddies in the rain of fire. Not to mention the -tohit from dark would help survivability.

    As someone else suggested, any kind of brute paired with a fire/kin, or any /kin for that matter would be awesome. Or maybe even a spines/fire scrapper with a kin corr. There are dozens of combos that can work well together if played right.
  24. I personally dont think manuevers nor the fighting pool are necessary. You are an AoE machine. Just kill stuff, you will be plenty tough with out the extra toggles. Darkets night is very nice, but fearsome stare also has some good -tohit in there. So if your anchor dies you will be fine if you keep applying fearsome strare, but like he said, try to keep it up.
  25. Don't get me wrong fire/kin is a monster, but if you take /dark you are a swissarmy knife of utility.

    You have an awesome heal, you have alot of -tohit debuffs which adds to your survivability, you have a pet that heals, holds, does damage, and debuffs. The pet can take alphas and is up extremely quickly after you get some global recharge in there with IOs. Fearsome stare can be used as an apha. Tar patch + Fire breath + fire ball + RoF = dead spawn. Fire kin could run +2/x8 if it could take the alpha.

    My fire/dark is a beast, 163% global recharge, 34% S/L def. And you do not really need to softcap since you have so much -tohit. I am sure most people will tell you the same. Not to mention, /dark blooms alot earlier than /kin. Kin you will have a hard time soloing (it can be done but not as well as /dark can) in the early levels basically until you get fulcrum shift. Even then, the alpha is still going to be a struggle.
