Whatever you do, don't check the fire/fire guide linked in my sig.

here is my guide:

I hope it helps, it is a little out of date. But you should get the feel for the set. I will be updating it when i19 drops.

I'm glad it was of use to you. Some of my description/ratings are a tad out of date with recent updates. I plan on doing a revision once i19 drops.

I'm always down for a mothership raid, wait til sunday, give me time to get some new toons to 35!

the orange "clicky" hand is back. This only started after a patch yesterday. I thought we fixed this in Mac Beta?

I haven't found there to be any difference between Leopard and Snow Leopard. The "Loading" screen still takes forever, and that is my biggest issue. Base lag, and Pocket D lag, still present. But i have never, or very rarely had the problems others report.

I didn't delete a toon, but the extra slot i got for being a veteran is now gone!

I wish a respec could let you re-chose your secondary sometimes. I'm so fed up with devices. But to the point, I have found ignite skippable in most instances. With my teaming build, buckshot, flamethrower, and full auto kills most mobs, especially if they are being held and worked on by the rest of the team, so i never use ignite. I will sometimes use ignite solo (are people still soloing with AE?) to control mobs and black doors. good thing we have dual builds.

wow! thank you for the update. very helpful while i am at work!

nice save on my guide! updating the linky now.

can we get the fire/fire guide in my sig put in the official list plz? and my title is back to "recruit" from "guide contributer"

HERE is a link to my Fire/Fire scrapper guide. not sure why it is STILL not listed in the guides section.... anyways, i hope it helps.

is it possible to make a fire scrapper while NOT taking the three "sword" powers? I hate the animation and look of it as well as a horrible fit for a RP character. If I make a fire/fire and choose to not take those three, how bad am I "gimping" myself?

[/ QUOTE ]

Short answer: yes. anything is possible. especially with scrappers.

Long(er) answer: Don't do it!!!! If you really want the most effective fire/fire scrapper fire sword and fire sword circle are dominant powers. Greater fire sword is extreme for sure, but the sound and the look of the sword is a huge turn off for some, and is the most often skipped of the trio.

In the end, as long as you have a constant attack chain you can keep killing anything. the power a fire/fire brings to the team (or solo) is such that usable powers = dead enemies. The more powers you have, the better you do. Like I said in the guide, this isn't a good set for people with strict concept characters (unless a flaming sword of righteous jihad is your concept).

I was also wondering if anyone could help with katana sounds. Thank you!

any help on how to make this work for Mac?

/counting minutes until i get out of work and can download mac test client

My only beef with shields is the End drain. I got my shield/ss to 50 on test and i never felt a need for tough or weave or maneuvers. (my 2nd build has all three). I'm used to playing squishies and shields is for sure not as squishy as people are complaining it is (with my play-style: mainly solo or duo). Conceptualy, holding up a shield might be tiresome, but c'mon you'd think a super hero would have a shield made out of something sweet that is feather weight and should cost little endurance to wield.

I believe (hope) a pic will surface once the Mac client goes to open-beta.

that is exactly what i'm saying. i'd really like to get in on some of that sweet Mac beta action. With live coming after Thanksgiving, Open Beta may be weeks away.

[ QUOTE ]
OTOH, they had said "pre-holiday" for the release, so I'm kind of hopeful we'll hit open beta soon.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah but which holiday? Thanksgiving or Christmas? New Years?

yeah, i was wondering how Mid's, hero stats, and vidiotmaps were going to work on my Mac... i guess i'll have to keep my partition for a while.

I just wish i was picked for the closed Beta...

i am so psyched by this! using boot camp was easy enough, but now it's gunna be the best. PLUS mission teleporter?! sweet.

This is a great guide and a great idea to exploit the system. I am too lazy to run back and forth from WW to a store, but more power to everyone who does!
