Yes it is a range attack but 2.43 is pretty darn crazy.

    Just my view

    Not seen anyone post or discuss this in the scrapper community

    From the Coffee Talk Notes

    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=292856

    SPINES:

    Barb Swipe will be an under-one-second attack power
    Lunge is having its everything increased

    Freespec will be available.


    My best guess at what they will do

    I am guessing Barb Swipe will drop to .83 animation which should out it on par with Shadow punch, storm kick etc

    Lunge I am expecting numbers along the lines of Cobra strike/crane kick since the animation time for lunge is pretty darn close.

    Any thoughts on these changes

    Mace/Shield gets a lot of kudos from people that I have read not played one myself

    I have a Fire/SD and I had over 230 dps on the pylons back before the alphas etc fun set.

    Ran an All scrapper ITF and STF with him as well

    In the past I always find collecting tickets in the Architecht Entertainment and doing bronze roles is a good way to get some gaps filled in on your toon i like the 35-39 rolls.

    I made a forunate of Kentic combats, filled out several of my resistance and defense IO's by using the bronze roles in the past ones I did not need and where woth making and selling I did the rest I just sold to the vendor.

    I know I have been gone a year or so played the game Rift. I renewed for 3 months but I will most likely drop back to free to play once it expires. Once that happens I can will not be allowed post.

    All opinions are welcomed.

    thanks
    I got a fire/da up in the 20's did not keep him because I done /da twice and I had fire already so i kind of abandon the project any ways it was actually a real good combo.

    I was also doing a dm/fire but again I got to the early teens and dm done it twice as you can see in my sig so i needed some other project so i abandoned that one too. In the early levels i preferred the fire/da personally

    Advantages of dm/fire burn, siphon + Healing flames is nice, Fire damage aura does more damage than dark damage aura and fiery embrace is going to be nice i am sure. Soul drain to go with burn

    Things I like about dark better easier to softcap s/l damage, cof or OG, fsc sword + damage aura equals sweet; heal IO out right can get 700+ hp per mob,

    Both sets work it is a matter of what you prefer

    The only advantage I see for BS/SD is on a stf because if they are soft capped they can tank Lord recluse easier because parry can be stacked to keep you soft capped or 1 parry and a small purple

    The other advantage of parry (if you are already soft capped) is if the debuffs get real bad it can fill in a gap to help

    It also makes leveling a little easier until you get soft capped but overall I take dm/sd over bs/sd

    I really wish none of the various aura powers for Scrappers had Taunt in them. When I see that Shield Defense or Invulnerability has one of them, I consider that a serious drawback to taking the set.
    I quit playing my katana/sr because it does not have one hell i play mini tank in a lot of teams with my fire/sd scrapper and have no issues. I find it hard to play a scrapper now with out damage aura to help get agro or a taunt aura.

    In fact i took provoke on my spines/da for two reason more agro and s/l defense : the benefit of having inherent fitness yay.

    More agro please

Since those are used for defense, if you slot them there, and happen to need to escort something, you're screwed. Not to mention that you don't need stealth IO to be running in combat anyway, since it provides no combat bonuses, just turn off your sprint/stealth IO.
    A lot of people can also pick access to a bunch of sprints so i can have one with stealth and one normal/ Can't remember which vet reward that is

    Can you use other powers while Whirlwind is on? It seems like you are stuck in that spinning animation? What is the point of Whirlwind?
    it was a great power at one time when it did knock up now it is worthless

When will they give us the opportunity to run them solo? When I tried before it dropped me from the TF when the last filler quit.

    I have access to well lets just say several accounts and can help you on Pinnacle and not have to worry about the ton quitting on you

    That is funny we did a scrapper all stf run on test before alpha (about 6 months ago or more) and beat Ghost widow then again the amount of maneuvers + grant cover plus Io builds everyone was a from the scrapper forums any ways we beat here in melee.

    So yes it is possible

    Actually, I should try it on a Tanker some time. I loves me some Dark. Leveling a Shield/Dark Tanker at the moment, though. I wanted a DPS Tank, was jealous of everyone's Dark/Shield Scrappers, and figured that might satisfy both urges at once.

    And of course the only reason I don't have Tankers tougher than my Katana/Dark is that I haven't tried. It's pretty easy to build a Tanker tougher than the toughest Scrapper.
    I figured a da/stone tanker could be fun OG + Fault stacked mag 2 stuns if we had stone on a scrapper I so build a stone/da scrapper

    I am sure da/mace go together well with the disorients and OG

    I moved some IO's around and got you more +acc + tohit and more regen and resistance

    no power changes. It gives you the option to drop super jump if you want to and just use ninja run

    I am not sure what is needed for concept but I take phalanx fighting before I took kick or tough because it is great out of the box with no Io or endurance burn

    This and the hit and run tactics and a well placed shield charge + aid self

    My spines/da has done well against them as well and my katana/wp I am working on is not in that level range yet
  17. Hejtmane
    I was on a camping trip I ran a total whopping 4 missions on Thursday evening on a lvl 34 katana/wp I have and that is all i got to do for double xp weekend

    Even with that my main is going to stay my fire/sd he is by far my favorite toon

    MA attack chain?

    MA attack chain?

    POST-ACTION

    Here is a link where I posted Moonlighters info on Attack chains for MA after the I19 Buffs

    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=232959

    This should help you out when making your decisions


    This is a post From Moonlighter on dps chain after the buffs


    Wow, okay so Crippling Axe Kick now hits like a truck. Well maybe not a truck, more like an Econoline Van.

    At level 50 it now hits for a base of 132.63. Let's look at the current test numbers to see where it stands:

    Counting boss crits and Arcanatime, the new DPA numbers:

    Code:

    Thunder Kick 54.79
    Storm Kick 89.95
    Cobra Strike 72.98
    Crane Kick 72.96
    Crippling Axe Kick 78.95
    Eagle's Claw 59.16 (plus additional crit on next attack)

    Some random attack chains and their DPS:

    (Note in chains that have one of CS or CK you can freely replace one with the other.)

    SK - CAK - SK - CS: 81.05
    SK - CAK - CS - CK: 77.36
    EC - CAK - CS: 75.53 (adds 33 EC crit to CAK)
    EC - CAK - CS - SK: 77.15 (adds 33 EC crit to CAK)
    CAK - CS - CK: 74.97
    SK - CAK - CS: 79.07

    So it looks like the old best attack chain is still best, though you can substitute CK for CS to avoid knock back.

    I think it is easier to build for HP and regen rate

    Well with MA and KM and /da you can do both

    Stun Capability

    You could go elec/da

    and do Lighting clap which is an aoe kd + disorient everything else is sleep and -end in the set

    KM and MA or the other options
  23. Hejtmane

    Assault

    POST-ACTION

    I run it on my fire/sd then again it is just adding to my already booster +damage I have 19% from IO and 10.5% from assault then the AAO buff so with one target I am hitting like 48% damage buff.

    It is a solid 1 slot power and does help on teams and if other people have it on teams it stacks nicely. It a small buff solo.
