Quote:Everything is better with a ScrapperOriginally Posted by Blitzy
I like it too, but I'm unsure whether it'd be better as a tank or scrapper.. -
Quote:That wasn't my experience. I'm assuming you were using your Claws/SR, so my DM/SR has an advantage with Siphon Life. With a good bit of luck(and three medium green inspirations) I was able to take down the last 15%ish of Rommie's health while the other six scrappers were laying around and taking their time getting back from the hospital.Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
Maybe if you don't have any SRs on the team. I've got over 1850 HP and 27HP/sec regen on mine, but that autohit fluffy rips through me in no time.
Though I don't expect to be able to do that consistently. That auto hit fluffy sucks.
edit: Just saw this
I bet that's is what happened to me. I never knew that piece of info. Maybe this TF is soloable after all...Quote:You can, with careful maneuvering and a little luck, stand such that you are in range to melee Rommie but still outside of the autohit Nictus' Mire attack - especially now that melee range is 7ft. It's how I've fought Rommie without getting killed on my SR (those times I did get killed horribly, now...) -
Me is a happy Munki

I just don't understand the mentality of those that do.

With Defenders if you load the two cones with Procs then it becomes the best AoE set for defenders. Not sure if that translates to Scrappers at all, just throwing it out there.
Personally I'm so used to having such crappy options that I plan almost all of my Scrappers only taking one power from the epics. -
Quote:IMO not taking the shields is a huge mistake.Originally Posted by Mylia
Ok I am working on a new defender now which is a cold/ice. Originally my plan was not to take the ally shields, while this is all still in planning form right now. What I am wondering would I be in some way hampering myself for teaming or otherwise?
Also a second question what powers in Sonic would be called skip able? -
Quote:Stygian Circle redefines the word awesome. It's that good.Originally Posted by Xyzyx
For my part, I'll put forth Stygian Circle as an example of a power from this third category. It'll change your Warshade's life, I promise you. -
Quote:This times infinity! I can go back to playing MunkiLord more often. With that character I'm a bad teammate and I've done pretty much everything I care to do solo with him.Originally Posted by Demobot
New Difficulty Options: Unbelievably stupendous, grandiose and in all other respects incredible. Running 8-man missions solo is so incomparably outstanding I'm going to need to consult a thesaurus to replenish my badly depleted repertoire of superlatives.
AVs are challenging and all, but kinda boring if I do it often. Now I can do something really hard and exciting and I don't have to piss off teammates. -
I don't think it's a need, more a minor QoL since two TFs are in Striga.
-
I agree. I've already started planning my costume for my upcoming Spines/Elec.
-
Fulcrum Shift no goes by the proper modifiers.
Quote:Kinetics/Fulcrum Shift: This power will now correctly use Controller buff modifiers instead of Defender buff modifiers, resulting in a 20% damage buff per target and a 40% damage buff on self, instead of a 25% damage buff per target and a 50% damage buff on self. -
That means we get to look at the new powers for Scrappers!
edit: Also, my first attempt at soloing +4 Carnies spawned for 8 with bosses was a massive failure. My DM/SR actually got held.
edit2: Just realized I stuck hasten on auto fire by mistake. Been playing my cold defender too much recently. -
What Striga really needs is a zone event to fight the giant Council Robot from the Hess TF.

Quote:Funny thing is JSHMOE was dong that as I was arguing with the guy. I went into his room to tell him about this thread and he was leading the boss farm without a tank. But I guess that doesn't count.Originally Posted by Werner
I mean, he flounced right after someone posted an actual story about running an AE L54 boss farm without a tank.

Quote:I forgot about the end drain protection. I take back my previous statement about avoiding Carnies.Originally Posted by Boomie
I haven't tried BM with mine but it could be good. I actually like to farm carnie lts. since one of the armors gives end drain protection and they're easy to kill.

Quote:Haha! You're taking your ball and going home because nobody is buying the stuff you made up. You lose at teh internets!!!!Originally Posted by Negescape
I'm done here. You're obviously out of touch with the current state of the AE crowd and you're making completely uninformed and insulting assumptions about me based off of that lack of knowledge. No need to climb off your high horse anymore to tell me how wrong I am, I'm sure it's a long climb down and I don't want to burden you. It's too much work to reason a man out of a position he's reasoned himself into. Yes, that goes both ways.
-
Fair enough. I have a ton of programs that bring it up, so it was a major PITA for me.

Quote:Once i16 hits I suggest giving the Battle Maiden farm a shot. Up your difficulty and go to town on the baddies. Unless you wanna AE farm, then pick something weak to lethal(though I would avoid Carnies for obvious reasons).Originally Posted by Prof_Backfire
Another question: If I'm going to farm with this thing, where, what and how do I farm? -
If you're the only person using your computer, why not just turn off UAC?

Quote:Again, you're making stuff up. A tank isn't required. That is a fact. Plain and simple. Recruit the right buffs/debuffs and any character can handle a 54 boss farm.Originally Posted by Negescape
These 3 facts lead to the truth that in an AE PUG, a good tank is required.Never said mine could. My DM/SR can't do it. I don't have effective aggro control(SR should have a taunt aura), and there are too many big hits coming at me to survive too long.Quote:While it may be true that you're totally-super-awesome-rad-epicced-out-scrapper has what it takes to run a level 54 boss farm with the finesse of an Olympic athlete, the simple fact is, you don't.
Or any buffed character.Quote:That burden is laid upon the willing tank.
No need to call you those things. You are just simply a player ignorant of how this game works.Quote:I'm willing as long as you follow the rules. Call me egotistical, call me self-important, call everything else you want that's a synonym for those words and sound redundant all you want,
No, you're just another random person easily forgotten and replaced with somebody else.Quote:you'd be right, but I'm the guy that's standing between your new character and level 50.
Nothing to get over. You're not that important.Quote:Get over it. -
Quote:It's my experience that the average pug needs a tank to do AE boss farming, but that is primarily because a lot of people have really poor builds and no concept of teamwork. A good tank can help mitigate those flaws.Originally Posted by Werner
Still, I'm no AE farmer, and I'll admit that my experience has been that pick up groups suck, so maybe you're right. Maybe pick up group AE farming requires a tank.
But if a patient and smart leader puts together the PuG then no single AT is needed.
Also, a well built Invul Scrapper can handle the aggro on a 54 boss farm fine. I'm sure other scrapper builds could do it too, but I've only seen my roommate's DB/Invul Scrapper do it(dual blades is great mitigation). -
Quote:You're making stuff up. Grab some defenders and controllers and you can do anything in this game. Really with those two ATs you don't need scrappers or blasters either.Originally Posted by Negescape
A good tank is an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY if you want to do a good AE farm.

Quote:You're either a liar or haven't teamed with the right Scrapper.Originally Posted by Negescape
You will never see a 52 boss farm fall apart because the scrapper left.
Sure there is, they could just invite a different player. On a decent team the AT won't matter.Quote:However, I should point out that I said I would either flat out leave a team or kick the bad player out. Not sit there doing nothing until I was kicked out, I have better things to do. Bit of a primadona attitude, yes, but there's really not much that people can do to combat that in a world where everyone wants to be the DPS. -
I joined. But I won't be active until I fix my computer(hardware failure).
