Quote:So, once you intentionally manipulate the numbers to skip CoF and so on, I have to toss this info right out the window due to bias.Originally Posted by Errant
I'm not arguing against potential benefits/tweaks, but I do want to clear up the myth that DA uses the most... These are passive drains for the defensive toggles of Armor sets:
DA sans CoF .96
ElA .73
EA 1.04
FA .52
IA 1.04
Inv .73
Nin .62
Self-Empathy .26
SD .42
Stone .99 Granite .47
SR .78
Will .83
Clicks were not factored in (DR, HF, mez pro etc). DA ain't the worst, however, it is near the bottom of the pile, and DR's giant end cost doesn't help matters in actual play. -
Quote:That's very true. I am trying to see if the devs are willing to address the issue that Scrapper Burn does the least damage of any other version due to this problem... perhaps taunt in Blazing?Originally Posted by Hopeling
Interestingly, TW actually has no redraw during Momentum. So you can use Burn and go back to your weapon attacks with no penalty, if you use Burn at the start of your Momentum cycle instead of the end.
However, I still would favor /DA on a scrapper, because enemies run from a /FA scrapper's Burn, since they don't have a taunt aura. If this were a Brute it might be more of a toss-up. -
See, I keep thinking the opposite - strengthen the resists so that you aren't using Dark Regen so much and normalizing the end use of the set to other armors.
-
Is that because you are itching to tear his build apart, point, and laugh?
-
Less redraw if you go with DA.
-
Ok I updated it - I didn't feel like doing yet another respec at the moment - I took some of your slotting ideas however for additional bonuses.

Quote:The scrapper IOs apparently make the chance for crits a tiny bit higher, whenever it comes out.Originally Posted by Zyphoid
This is a bit off topic, but it has been bothering me since the Coffee Talk on Wens.
All of the ATs seem to be getting improvements and tweaks to their inherent powers. Now, scrappers don't NEED a change, but crits are the most unreliable and basic of any of the inherent I can think of.
I think it is time to make it more reliable, or at least more predictable. -
Quote:Cool. Tough call for me on Blazing, because I planned on a second set of Obliteration - I would trade one slot of 7.5% recharge for added damage in Blazing, with the difference being 2.5% recharge since Oblit grants 5% recharge with 5 slots.Originally Posted by Kioshi
Didn't want to mess with the build too much so I only upped a bit your recharge, regen, +HP, tweaked the FSC slotting and also switched the oblits to burn. Since I left BA with 4 slots I found room for some LoTGs. I'd put another proc in Incinerate instead of full hecatombs (I did take one out to get more regen in health).
You could also leave FE with 2 slots and get another 5% rech from consume if you don't mind having FE recharge 4s later outside Hasten.

I could just grab that Regenerative Tissue and toss it into Health as-is, since my Spiritual Tier 4 Core makes up for the loss of a slot, but maybe I should just grab the Numinas and throw it in there. I don't run Maneuvers or Weave when running around, they are just there for the added kb, but yeah I like the added LOTGs so maybe I will go that route. I got kb when Warwalkers died in iTrials when I only had 8 pts of kb protection, thus Maneuvers/Weave/CJ. I do run CJ all the time. -
I think the lack of diversity is just because people are smart. Pairing it with WP is a really good idea, that's all. Some might be doing it for ease of use and how well it compliments the Momentum mechanic, end costs, or even because the older you get you find the motivation to stand out and be different to define yourself less compelling.
My wife went with electric and I haven't picked up the set yet, but elec sure seems like a good choice if you want a damage aura. -
...and the added healing helps too.

Just curious, what if you have no fire damage? How do you light up oil slick?

Yep, that's exactly what I did. Spiritual Core helps fire/fire nicely.

Quote:Why is that a shame?Originally Posted by John_Printemps
I'm glad to see other people finally considering TW/DA. I ran on Virtue off an on last night working up my own that I've been waiting to build on live since it hit Test, and not once did I see another Titan Weapon + Dark Armor amongst the throng of new characters swarming the three Atlas's. A lot of Willpower though, shame.
Also, don't forget that Vigor grants as much endurance cost as Cardiac Radial guys. -
Resilient Core at tier 4 buffs 33% now. No, it does nothing to increase caps. The Alpha slot is basically like slotting another SO to all of your abilities, remember.

Update: bought another Armageddon and changed one Scirrocco into an Oblit set and updated the OP.
When I get lucky and get the recharge secondary mutation, hasten has a 1 second downtime. -

Quote:Actually after this week's patch Spectral is now 20% core side and 12% radial side. That only means on the core side that you will only see it go off as often as a normal proc does - so when using a PBAOE you might see it immobilize 2 targets when fully saturated for 4 seconds. I took the radial side for my /dark to fight the occasional OG wandering and for theme.Originally Posted by MallardDuck
The Burn power scattering everyone on my scrapper drives me crazy as well. But I've been thinking about trying the new Spectral interface power that adds a decent chance to immobilize (4-10%) on every attack power. Spectral might naturally lock foes in place enough to make Burn useful. Just a thought.....

Quote:Thankfully, I never said it was crippling, or that I can't adapt - in fact, I stated exactly how I adapted in previous posts, but you missed that too.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Good for you. That doesn't make it crippling.
Again, your attacks will consume far more endurance than your armors can.
Adapt.
...are you confusing me with EvilRyu? -
Dark Armor sucks more endurance than any other secondary when only SOs are being discussed.
-
Quote:...which is completely subjective.Originally Posted by EvilRyu
See what I mean. And the other players say its fine with just SO's. I think some players just have different standards in what they view as fun or playable. I don't see dark as fun unless its on a stalker simple because I do not run out of end as fast. A power set should not take as much time investment as what we put into our characters to be playable. And for the record when I say playable I mean fun to play.

Quote:How do you explain how fury works then?Originally Posted by Codewalker
It's more of a technical limitation, since there's not a direct way for a power to give you a buff if it misses.
