My personal opinion, as always, is Fury is training wheels for Scrapperlock.

Sent!

I can tell you, Saj doesn't have a lot of End problems.

Usually it works something like this, she says go, I charge headlong into the targeted group, picking out the boss and she unleashes RoA, stuff falls dead, and I wipe out what's left.

Thanks for the pointers by the way, I tend to play Scrappers, so I really wasn't much help on tweaking Sajitera's build.

Although I am going to have to learn the Blaster numbers for when GR comes out. Alreayd anticipating by Dual Pistols.

I've searched every Big Lots from here to Florida and have yet to find one copy of it. I need two, one for me, one for Anasthesia.

Welcome to the City, Hube.

Personally, I have the tactical mind of a small, rabid mammal and my favorite strategy is the ever popular Scrapper anthem, "Kill Everything and Go Home!" but I do appreciate you have a different playstyle, and you're trying to enjoy the game and see everything and plan out accordingly.

There's nothing wrong with that. As was said before, use your friend's list and find people who think and play like you do. Advertise in your server forums. Start a Super Group /Villian Group dedicated to the way you play. Seek recruits on the forums to join you.

You'll be surprised at how many players, both new people learning the game, and vets who want to try something different, will join up with you.

If you're nervous about forming an SG, there's nothing wrong with soloing, but you'll miss out on the social aspect of teaming. Depending on your slotting and powers, Tankers can solo well, someone I work with made a Willpower/SuperStrength tanker just to solo with when my fiance and I aren't on.

But most of all remember, don't hesitate to speak up in teams. You're paying the same subscription fee as the rest of us (except those with 2 or more accounts *cough*) and you should get to play the game the way you enjoy. Quite a few people are willing to hold back if you explain you're new and want to enjoy the game for the game's sake, not to rush by in a blur.

If you want to try it, Iggy, look me up in game. I'll be a placeholder for you.

And I'd love a Staff fighting powerset. So rather it's branching or not, still /signed.

Blends, my first 50, is a spines/dark scrapper.

Imminent Violence, my second 50, is a DM/SR scrapper.

Single Drop of Rain, my first 50 villian, is EM/SR and a brute.

a lost teddy bear was next, he's a kat/wp scrapper. Really fun to play.

His bio reads "What happens when a favorite teddy bear is lost on a trip to Paragon City and he becomes the fetter for the souls of every ancient warrior lost in battle? He picks up a Katana and hilarity ensues!"

I even have several custom binds for him, changing f7 to "Teddy is ready!" and on those handful of times he was defeated, I'd hit f10 and "Teddy down! Teddy down!" got many a chuckle from teams. One of my favorites I used only when teamed with my fiance's WP/DB tank, Sharp Dressed Man.

"Notice how the wiley bear dominates with one katana while the man uses two and still fails to maintain the style and damage output the bear maintains."

Cheat Code, my Claws/SR scrapper looks like she's next in line to hit 50, sitting at 47 right now.

Revolutions of Ruin, my Warshade, has been 46 for almost a year. Working on him after Cheat Code is done.

Let Them Not Weep, my Peacebringer, has been level 2 for much longer.

and Jerusalem Thorne, my Earth/ Thorns Dom is 2 as well. Going to be my first character to Go Rogue.

And here's the datachunk for those who want to put it into Mids and see if they can tweak it.

For some reason, I'm a total sucker for the song.

So much so, that I even have it on my mp3 player.

Another for /wp.

As much as I love my /sr characters, and I have 4 of them, my kat/wp was the smoothest run from 1 to 50.

Well, here's Cheat Code's current final build. I'm sitting at 47 right now, and only need the Kismet to finish out her slotting. Everything else is sitting in base storage, or already slotted.

Inspired by Fargo, of Flintlocke fame, and DoktorMechaniker, I could see this:

Glad you guys like the name I thought it was appropriate for an /SR and since I only made her like a year ago, I'm very surprised the name wasn't taken.

And yes, her battlecry is "Up. Up. Down. Down. Left. Right. Left. Right. B. A. B. A. Start." and no, I didn't forget Select between the last A and Start. I never coop played Contra because people always stole the scattergun.

Well the buzzsaw is long dead, which is why I retired Imm in the first place.

Thanks for the input everyone. I'll fire up MiDs when I get off work in the morning and start tweaking the common IO and then final build.

From Imminent Violence, Dark Melee/ Super Reflexes scrapper.

Thanks for the input all.

I'm going to get the sets, eventually. Just not to start with until we build up more Influence, which won't take long with Sajitera (my fiance's Arch/EM blaster) sitting with 800 million+ in her sets.

I haven't ever used ToF before, it was just a filler until I get the influence up to rebuild Imm into the final DM/SR destroyer of all things big and small she used to be.

So my main question is, should I just stick with the old buzzsaw build and common IOs until I get up the influence for my final build? Or should I respec into one of the above builds?

I don't play SC4 but that is awesome. Great work!

Wow.

That's awesome Iggy. Cheat Code, my claws/sr just soloed her first pylon with only half her sets done so it'll be a while before I can come close to a solo ITF, but I am amazed, jealous and proud all at the same time. You set the bar higher and it gives us all something to strive for.

And I totally agree with Werner, please devs, gives us the ability to start task forces solo.

Hey fellow scrappers,

My DM/SR was built in the buzzsaw days and quickly became my favorite character. When the buzzsaws died, I repecced out of my sets, passed them to other characters and put Immy in retirement.

After playing my Warshade, a Kat/WP, a Claws/SR, an Ele/Shield, an EM/SR Brute and my first character, a Spines/Dark for the last year or so, what I really was thinking of doing is dusting off Imm and getting her back up to speed for i16 and the upcoming i17 and GR.

Currently, in game, we are flat broke, having just focused all our Influence and recipe rolls to spec out my fiance's Arch/EM blaster, however I know the influence will come eventually, and I'll worry about sets when I've got enough to start slotting them.

My big question is, what's the best way to approach softcap on just IOs (not sets) without sacrificing Hasten. Do I even need Hasten now that buzzsaws are gone?

If I drop Manuevers off the build, I'm down to 42.8% to all 3 positions. If I drop Combat Jumping it's 43.5%, both are still respectable numbers, but I really want that all important 45%.
If I drop Hasten and take CJ and Manuevers it bumps up to a nice overkill number of 46.4%, this is with Steadfast +3% slotted in Tough, of course.

Since this is going to be a respec build, I'm not too worried about when the powers come, so long as I have the ones I really need to make the influence to set Imm like I really need her.

I would like the all important Smite -> Midnight Grasp -> Smite -> Siphon Life attack chain, and I'm more than willing to skip any and all travel powers, since I rarely, if ever take them at all.

So, if someone could please give me a hand tweaking one of the following builds so I can start earning Influence to get Imm back into the game I'd really appreciate it.

I have this idea, based off Werner's single IO softcapped:
