I personally don't care if someone wants to make a "pure healer" build or not. But if you decide to go that way, use fortitude on more than just one person. That's all I ask.

Quote:I often bid like that on common salvage and large inspirations because I despise having to waste time putting up bids and pulling them down and reposting just to save myself 100k influence. I rarely bid under 20k for any piece of salvage and just because my finger is already over the 2 key if I for a second don't think 20k will do it I'll just bid 200k instead.Originally Posted by maggotface
You'll get that a lot. Example: someone was buying large heal insps last night at 400,100. I bought some other larges for less than 1k, combined, and sold. Not a huge profit, but over 400k for a large heal insp? Really? *Really?* -

When i was fiddling with a build in mids i was iffy about spin..., im still not sure about
Also with the builds i came up with i was unsure what to focus on... and i couldn't finish a full build to 50
I've been leveling one recently and Negligent(my claws/elec) is currently at 32 and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Spin is a 'must have' power for Claws Scrappers. It is awesome.
I haven't messed around in Mid's yet with a level 50 build, but I'm confident once I get the recharge and defense I want that this will be a killing machine. -
I'm ok with that as well.

Quote:It's been my experience with two high end scrapper builds(DM/SR and FM/SD) that /SD outperforms /SR in every way. That doesn't make /SR obsolete IMO, I still enjoy playing my DM/SR more despite the shielder being more powerful(that wouldn't change if it was DM/SD instead of FM/SD either).Originally Posted by Another_Fan
Actually what is being said repeatedly in this thread is that SR is worthless because of SD. Matter of fact the title "In the Age of IO's, is SR obsolete?" is a pointed way of trying to say just that and badly disguising it as a question. Here's a better question "In the Age of Scrappers that can layer defense and resistance on top of each other have a self heal and outdamage almost all blaster combination's are blasters obsolete ?". See both of those aren't questions so much as manifestos.
Anyway the unasked or possibly disregarded part of this is just how much effort does it take to make SD surpass SR, how does SR compare at comparable levels of expense ? As I said way back in this thread SD's greatest power is the power to absorb nearly limitless amounts of INF. But back to your comparisons re recharge and the ability to spam siphon life fast unless you are in a situation where you have little to no risk of death the ability to trade damage for survivability is pretty important.
Also, if you're gonna use a build as an example of how great DM/SR can be, you should post a better one. Posting sub par multi billion influence builds does not support your argument. That would be painful to play without a ton of blues inspirations or a power like Heat Loss.
edit: At some point in this thread there was a mini discussion about improving Elude. What I would like to see is it changed to something similar to Moment of Glory. Maybe instead of the huge defense bonus put it to something like 15%, keep the resist in the 70% range, and add in a heal or big regen buff. A power like that I would fit into my build somehow. -
That could be because somebody moved out of that niche when their profits started falling leaving you with less competition. Just a guess, but a possibility.
-
What Nethergoat said. I run Ernesto Hess simply because I enjoy it and I run STF because of the challenge, the reward merits from those two are just a bonus as far as I'm concerned.

Good stuff heffroncm, welcome back to the game! I'm glad you decided to give the market a fair shot.
Couple quick tips:
1. Don't worry if you make a bad investment and just break even or possibly lose a few million. It happens sometimes and you'll make it back quick enough.
2. If you find something that is moving really fast and for good profit(recipe for 1million and enhancement sells for 15million several times a day) I wouldn't buy more than ten at a time. You may own that niche for a few days, but eventually more people will catch on and you'll see your profits start to fall for that item. Basically, don't put all your eggs in one basket. -
Quote:I've been trying to decide for a while what I'm gonna pair /earth with. Electric just might do it for me.Originally Posted by Gearsinger
Did anyone try out Electric/Earth? Seems like a solo artist could do good things with that. Open with the sleep and confuse, run in with the end drain aura, and smack them down one at a time. If they happen to wake up, they'll helplessly swat at one another.
Although I imagine Mud Pots and the Gremlins would mess up the carefully controlled nature of that scenario. -

Off topic : Did you get your beta forum access Munki (I think I remember you're in the prepurchaser wave as well) ? I still haven't got access to beta forums and cannot read the feedback thread ...
-
blue or redside?
-
I'll make another request to see some of the numbers. I would go to the beta forums to check out the feedback thread, but honestly sifting through 1000+ posts in one thread is a bit much.
Or if someone could give me a page number to start with in that huge thread that would be a big help. -
Gonna have to agree with Another Fan on this one.

I have too much stored in the markets and not enough places to put it.

I actually just finished selling everything I had stored in bases for last few months. I'm just gonna wait a few weeks to see how everything plays out before I make a move.

Quote:I want a taunt aura too. That would make my DM/SR complete.Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
Considering all the buffs that SR had to receive in order to fix it over the years, I find that I have to agree. SR needs no buffs. At all. I certainly wouldn't mind a power order shuffle along the lines that brutes received, but even that I don't see as necessary.

A master run is no temps and no deaths. The no insp is just extra cuz he could. -
FM/SD is incredibly powerful and one of my favorite characters to play.
-
Not sure if influence is an issue or not, but I'm thinking FM/WP will also be the cheapest to get to a IO out.

Shazaym, I see lots of places that build can be improved, but first I need to know what kind of budget you're working with. Are you ok buying purples, PvP defense IO, etc? Or would you rather not spend six billion on your build? Once you let me know that I can make several suggestions to improve it.

Quote:Basically prepurchase means you bought it and own it already. Like buying form teh NCSoft store. The code is applied to your account.Originally Posted by AzureSkyCiel
Now I feel kind of dumb for asking this but... What exactly is the difference. How do I pre-order vs. pre-purchase? Does pre-order mean I need to go down to my local game store and reserve an ordered copy of Going Rogue? Was there a way to pre-order it over the NC store?
I feel stupid for asking but I'm serious, I'm having trouble seeing a difference.
Pre-order is if you reserve a copy from Gamestop. You don't actually own the game until you get it on release day. -
I think this is what caused the confusion:
Quote:Yeah I realize preorder and prepurchase are different, but whoever is in charge of this stuff dropped the ball. And to not let people know exactly what is going on at this point is nothing short of pure incompetence on somebodies part.Going Rogue Closed Beta Access will be granted using a three-tier system: - Tier One: City of Heroes Veterans with 60+ months of paid time.
- Tier Two: Loyalty Program players
- Tier Three: Players who Pre-Order Going Rogue (Preorder details to be announced at a later date)

Quote:I was under the impression it was. Not sure why, but obviously I'm not the only one. Personally I don't care either way because I don't want to beta test and if I really wanted the info there are places to get it.Originally Posted by LISAR
I wasn't aware beta access was part of prepurchase. Could someone show me where this was offered?
But if this many people are thinking they were supposed to get beta access, then that more than likely means there was a communication error at some point and it should be corrected by some official statement. To not clear this up and just have people keep starting threads means somebody(or more likely several people) isn't doing their job very well. -
I changed a few more things after Claws. Got a bit more recovery and a tad more recharge.
