Some tanks can...e.g. Stone tanks.

It depends. Fly needs 3 slots in it anyway for it to have any kind of decent speed but if you intend to use Air Superiority in your attack chain it needs 1/2 Acc and 3 Damage SOs in it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Im pretty sure that fly caps out with 3 speeds, I can't recall for sure but it might have been just 2 in some cases or at least you get real close to the cap. Currently I have 2 end red and 2 flight speed in my own fly.

Even though I have air sup, I have never added slots to it..

[/ QUOTE ]

As I said, if you use Air Superiority in your attack chain it needs to be slotted. If you don't use it there's no point slotting it.

[ QUOTE ]
well ok infernal might be a bit hard but we can do it. and yes, e wil easy perma hold the AV, really easy.

[/ QUOTE ]

You will be able to keep an AV held for about half of the time, the rest of the time they have huge mez protection and you won't be able to overcome it.

It must have changed then.

With 3 Recharge SOs, it's got a recharge of about 42 seconds which means it's probably ready for each fight.

Absorb Pain and Regeneration Aura aren't essential.

And please sort out your sig.

erm, lol lost ninja, let me put it to u this way. u dnt really have much knoledge at all about the dm/regen build.

dm/regen is the most FRIENDLY for endurance dude, if u have stmaina and the regen style stamina u wil always have loads of endurance but with the dark melee endurance gain power u wil have even more, it is basically a complete waste of time slotting ur powers with endurance reduction dude.

[/ QUOTE ]

One more thing, if you bothered to read the whole thread then you'd have seen that LostNinja had changed his build and removed all of the endurance reductions from his attacks.

Conserve Power cuts the end that you spend on attacks by half. It's the same as doubling your end recovery rate.

I've never had it, but the best tactic would be to either use it at the beginning of long fights or combined with powers such as Hasten.

Slotting it for end reduction only reduces the amount of end it takes to activate the power. I think the usual slotting is 3xRecharge.

Scrappers are always pretty squishy in the lower levels, the weakest is Regen, but when you get to 16 and Integration it's plain sailing.

I thought you were trying to change people's opinions of you, Lui...

Take out the [IMG][/IMG] tags, then it'll work.

[ QUOTE ]
Your right yep.

To let you all in on a secret. I just started leveling my claws/regen scrapper on union after about a year. Ouch you guys have it rough in the lower levels, utterly no attack chain. Unless I take that first DoT power but it looks one sandwich short of a picnic..

My favourite scrapper set... Hmmmm..
I made myself a hard question there.

Probably.. not Ma/Regen actually.

Something with /Regen though.

Drifting towards latter level Claws/Regen tbh..
Not that I am that far yet, but one day!

Yeah, it's tough until you get to level 18 and Focus. From there you can only go up.

By the way, what levels? Evens? +1s? +2s? That looks like 2 groups from an 8-man mission, am I right?


Oh, and my favourite? Claws/Regen!

Will do. Give me 3 weeks till I get home, I'm at uni and the connection here makes me disconnect from the map server every minute.

A player named Uzzi (Sin_Harvest on these forums) has this exact mix. With his powers a few inspirations and a bit of luck. I have watched him kill, 1 Zeus Titan, 1 and 1/2 a Herculeus Titan, 4 malta minions, 2 sappers, 1 gunslinger boss, numerous gun turetts, Tac Ops Commander etc etc.. In two words. He Pwns.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's great, except I can do the exact same thing on my /regen without needing inspirations

Heh, hi!

[ QUOTE ]
no offence but i take it u have never played city of heroes before. cos like people that have know build up, or what ever is a really good power.
get it, the best power there.
turns moderate dmg into a good high/low extreme dmg attack

[/ QUOTE ]

There are plenty of powersets which don't have Build Up, my spines/DA is my first char which has it.

With 3 recharge SOs it has a recharge of about 40 seconds, which isn't bad - enough for once a fight. The buffs it gives are really worth it.

It depends. Fly needs 3 slots in it anyway for it to have any kind of decent speed but if you intend to use Air Superiority in your attack chain it needs 1/2 Acc and 3 Damage SOs in it.

Grats, go claws!

[ QUOTE ]
well if u know how to use the fire/rad powerset u dnt need anything to "tank"

[/ QUOTE ]

Against high-level AVs like Infernal, Mother Mayhem or Psi Babbage? OK... don't say we didn't warn you

[/ QUOTE ]

Stacked Radiation Infection, Enervating Field and Lingering Radiation will mean that the AV will not be able to do a thing against them.

Applying ID to someone who is asleep will actually remove the sleep effect, but not provide any resistance.

[/ QUOTE ]

?? With all respect that doesn't make any sense: a part of the buff (mezz release) will take effect, but another part (resistance buff) not?
Also i have played 2 kin trollers intensively beyond lvl 45 and with neither of them I have I ever been able to remove a sleep with ID in all those lvls .
Maybe a little trick no one knows kin DEFENDERS can do on those special occasions?

[/ QUOTE ]

Sleeps are removed by attacks landing on someone. The same is true for ID, it cancels the sleep but doesn't actually provide any resistance to sleep effects.

At least, that is what happened when I levelled up my Controller in I4. I'm not aware that it's been changed though.

[ QUOTE ]
Why not have a bit of variation rather than all the same builds?

If one of you is useless against a mob you all are.

I can almost gauranteee this wont work.

[/ QUOTE ]

No it will work, but a combination of different power sets will work better.

[ QUOTE ]

If I were you I'd wait until I7 hits, there's going to be some pretty big changes to the Claws powerset.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmmm where can I find those changes?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nothing is known for certain, but according to various dev posts on the US forums there will be some animation changes and other tweaks.

Do the Maria Jenkins arc. Just keep doing her missions and she'll start the arc if you don't have too many arcs open.
