Im interested in this I have to say.

Well I asked you ingame earlier tonight so Put Jack Kerrigan (My Empath) down please. Was fun with you guys last tf which wa way back in Moonfore.

Well I only really just got him out tplay but already at level 14 something seems amiss. So I want to nip this in the bud. Can anyone help a nice build plan for me?

ahh i see...

Is this another I7 bug tho or WAI?

[/ QUOTE ]

If it's a bug, don't expect a fix anytime soon.........

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah itd not as important as that nasty game breaking issue where you got 10 SOs for your character instead of 1 in Croatia tf that need an immediate fix.

Its that time again. Meant to post about this yesterday but was held up.

Lets see what we can swap especially if you like me still have HOs from previous raids you can swap. And ave fun at th raid all.

If you've already got boxing/kick then I'd get tough, if not get IH.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd definitely second this - IF you already have boxing/kick, take Tough. Otherwise, I'd go with IH

My regen is now L45, and I can almost count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I've actually found it necessary to use IH. IMO, IH's recharge rate, even fully slotted and even with Hasten running, is just a little too long for what it does. It's definitely my least used power (apart from maybe MoG, which I respec'd out of after about a week, I used it so litte, i.e. not at all!)

To be fair, it has come in handy now and then, but generally Reconstruction and Dull Pain (along with Fast healing, Reconstruction and Health all fully slotted for healing) have almost always been more than enough. When they haven't, faceplanting has usually been due to a sudden massive burst of damage (such as an AV's alpha) totally exceeding my HP and one-shotting me - IH can't help you in those situations.

(Hmmm... it has just occurred to me that since one-shotting a toon from 100% health became impossible with i7, maybe that's not quite so true now... could be a bit of a plus for IH then?)

Indeed. Also consider IH was once a toggle. It was nerfed too much Ive always said that. But it was only a back up plan even then. A useful tool to have in extremem corcumstances/ The age old better to be overprepared than caught short and unguarded.

well... you say you fear you won't use it...
you're not a real scrapper.
the ethos of the scrapper is to be an absolute nutter and charge headlong into any combat, no-matter what the odds... it's what makes them so fun.
and if you use DP/IH before you run into those seemingly impossible battles, you'll most likely triumph.

Am I the only person who considers scrappers should use tactics and this "ethos" that scrappers charged in haphazard? Surely any toons success should be based as much around survivablity and not mindlessness along with getting the job done?

IH, IH, IH, IH, IH, IH, IH, IH, IH, IH, IH, IH *breathes*, IH, IH, IH, IH, IH, IH, IH...

I think you get teh idea, non?

[/ QUOTE ]

I have to agree. Tough is good but Im actually consdiering respecing it out as I have no room with recent feedback. IH is da bomb.

Those really are good. Respect is due well done.

Willow R's ancillary is Power Mastery.

Also, you're missing Rain Phoenix (fire/SS/fire Tanker) and Matakoshi (katana/regen/body scrapper). Also Rasterman (Pb) and Trix Shots (assault/devices/??? blaster).

Some updates: Galaxy Guardian is Inv/SS tanker, Superflame is fire/BA tanker, and Tyketto is Ice/War Mace Tanker.

But its great to see such a big list of 50s! And great work in keeping it alive.

[/ QUOTE ]

I posted them the other day but obviously late.

Also My empath Jack Kerrigan. Emapthy/Psi and energy mastery.

Lodestar is there but missing his epic. Its body mastery

Foxbase Alpha is looking for coalitions as I do beleive. Send a tell to @Trouble Shooter or me @Lodestar and Ill pass the message on.

Well done EQ. Inspite all the Av troubles you got there. Well deserved.

Your going again? Aww Sar. A damn shame for us and no mistake. But do whats best for you. Thats the main and all the best.

But while we here:-
Jack Kerrigan Empathy/Psi Blast/ Energy Mastery
Rasterman Peacebringer
Rain Phoenix Fire/SS tanker
Trix Shots AR/Dev blaster
Matakoshi Kat/Regen scrapper

I will have to fetvch more I beleive are not on that list from my friends and SG members.

And an update on Lodestar his Epic is Body Mastery (you have him listed not his epic)

Well sorry to miss this might have been fun but was watching World Cup as I have been everyday and every match.

Aww gratz guys. I was undecided about coming online too and wish I had for this. Well done all to some of the nicest people on defiant. Quality people I have teamed with well feeling down and logged off feeling great. Such people are rare.

When I heard about this from our Mary herself here I took the nearest oppertunity to look on my Inv/en brute myself and well... not impressed either. It looks to me like a bunch of cheap xmas tree lights flashing in a inky black fog. And at best just looks too much like dark armour anyway. Backed up by someone saying it matches their dm set.

Now I know how peaved our Mary here is and while I dont feel as strongly myself I do sympathise that when you get attached to your toon a change you dont like doesnt seem trivial. And in anycase I dont much care for it nyself as I have said. Not a step in the right direction in my opiniion. Taking the colour out as Krazy_Mary suggested maybe? Or something else. Some good points here on the practicality of it too worth noting.

Could we press the devs to try another effect?

Ah thanks all. But while somewhat belated I knew I would have to updae this list of gratitude.

First and foremost two of my favourites Krazy Mary and Gandrel. What a botch not to include you. I was sure I had as I even thought out a comment for you guys. I most appologise for that I didnt proof read. They are as I say two of my favourites and great fun to talk to. Learned my lesson not to post when Im too tored to proof read. *assumes puppy dog eyes position at Krazy Mary*

So here is as I say a full year (a bit over) celebrated by a second. Hence the role of thanks. And I still have other people coming to mind I didnt mention whis names came right to me as soon as I logged out after that post like Sechs who has been so much help and truly a master of this game, Scandle, Mass, Dameron, Funky, Osiron, Knightingale, Aerie, Generalisimo and Quantrail and London. I always think in anything the best soloution to a problem is prevention. All of who are the nicest most decent and willing to help people around defiant at least. And yes thank you SHANNON nice to see someone else who goes for premtive buffs.

And did I mention the army of the femme fatales? Not ny name I didnt. Pyra whos well great, Lady Darkforce who is frankly also great, Proximity who I havet spoken to enough recently, Ace of Diamonds who I even met as Jack during a badge hunt around boomtown, Anath, Starstorm, Krissie, Firery Rose, Ecstatica, Amora (both of them), Famke, Elektra. It just didnt feel right not mentioning your names for all the coolness you put my way.

Happy Birthday Zane. Hope you have lots of good fun.

TBH I was joking (well, maybe in a slightly nervous way) about the hidden regen nerf in my OP.

And while I guess the def calculation change does raise the MoG "to hit" threshold above 5% in many cases, you can't really call it a targeted swipe at regen in particular...

[/ QUOTE ]

rofl. You have to realise its a sensitive situation. So dont do that again. Its like shouting show us your [censored] at a feminist meeting.

I was in recluses victory last night and got my rear handed back to me by AVs sure. We know about that and anyway we were understaffed.Didnt see my regen being nerfed but who knows? I think we need a full explanation. We were told there would be no more nerfs so if we have them it must be a bug. Or we been lied to or baltently misled again.

Ok... Need help here want to make an Empath defender but how do you get anywhere :S If you can't get a team thats you sitting in Atlas waiting... I've gotten one to 12 at the highest, then DELETE!!! so what makes you all carry on!?

[/ QUOTE ]

You gte luls for sure. Hel I have posted in two threads on this very section about it. People come and go with the need for them. I still think there is a feeling of "lets make a pint of not using an empath" But you wait until late 30s when you get asked if you want to take an SK and help against an av.

Your joking. MoG nerfed. Scrappers already think about cutting that one out. I thought they were improving defense and that is what MoG is.

Well I noticed end use was throught the roof. A bug or a sound across the borad nerf Im niot sure.

Happy Birthday

I need sis psyche on Jack Kerrigan
