Im leveling up a Kat/Invuln and Kat/Dark to the 20s to see what I like better. On the Kat/Invuln I took Sting of the Wasp as my 2nd attack, however looking at Flashing Steel, it is only a 1s longer recharge, same activation and although 10 points lower dmg, it is a Cone so more foes hit, so my question is for early leveling should I take Flashing or SotW?

You also have to realize that the optimal attack chains are for full IO slotted lvl 50 builds, not necessarily for leveling builds. IMO I would have all 3 (and in my case used all 3 for leveling plus boxing).

Is all i've got to say. -
Claw/Ela or Elm/SD scrapper or SD/Elm or Ela/SS tanker. All go for fast strong kills in their own way.

Too words...Power Push. Take it Slot it and make those that complain about KB chase their food. Target said teamate and attack thru him. You'll enjoy every second of it.
And oh yeah, don't let the naysayers get you down. Most of them don't know what they are talking about, especially with Nrg blasters. Unless you are in the middle of a pack your KB won't knock things all over the place. as long as you use the powers on the front enemy then all enemies will go strait back and stay bunched. -
Quote:When it comes down to it, as long as you like what you have then enjoy it. Below is my Elm/SD/Blaze (just for reference). Without alot of Recharge I think you'll be waiting for your attacks to come up with only Havoc Punch and Chain Induction as ST attacks (and T-strike thrown in as well).Originally Posted by Regulos
Thanks alot for that build ideal MutantX. Does my build look decent, I mean, its not that bad or anything is it? Also, when I plan these builds and slot my enhancements, what do I look at in Mid's to make sure I have "soft capped" my defenses? Does it show you when you have "soft capped" or do you just have to figure it out yourself? Thanks!
As far as mid's goes Click the totals tab on top of the power description box in the lower left hand corner, that will show you all of your defensive totals (Res., Def and a plethora of other stats).
Here is my build, Ended up costing maybe around 200mil total (as of today). The key to keeping the cost low with the sets I used was using sub-30 level IOs instead of the +30 ones available, I saw those were sometime 2-3 times as expesive as the lower level ones for not "that" much more of a benefit. I also planned around soft capping my melee and then ranged/AoE def as early as possible.

Well Soft capping (on a SD character) is getting all of your positional defenses to at least 45% def. Here is a "low cost" build that gets you essentially* soft capped. I'm not commenting on the actual build (since that's not what you asked) and put together a cost effective (only 2-3 expensive sets) build. Just a warning, you probably can't get the data to import since my mid's is funky but you can look at the sets to get you there.
*I say essentially because it has only 44.5 and 44.8% melee and ranged def, for a little bit more money you can get a set of Kinetic Combat (more expensive then the smashing haymaker) and get your melee capped. Not sure how to get your ranged capped without actually knowing your full budget or changing some power picks (like manuevers instead of hasten).

Just repeating the others but definately Recharge over Dmg. My Fire/MM has 80% Global Rech (150% with Hasten) and 34% global dmg and with defiance can easily keep a high dmg buff, then adding in BU & AIM is even more juice. So while Recharge is a must, don't negate trying for Dmg as well.

Quote:Yes yes it is. I've only within the past 2 years of playing been able to buckle down and actually play something 1-50, however I'll still start a concept or build that I think of while playing but if I'm enjoying my current FoTM then I'll go back soon. It took me a little over a full year to get my first 50, but that was also before they smoothed the leveling curve and changed defiance (it was a Nrg/Nrg blaster).Originally Posted by AF_Bill
Well, my post was more for fun. One of the great things about CoH/CoV is that there are so many viable options. Ive played other games where there were many choices, but most could not compete.
Ive been playing for a year now and have tried several different classes, mostly on CoH. Ive enjoyed cont, brute and blaster too. I just seem to like scrappers mostly.
My problem is that I keep finding something else to try without really finishing what Ive already started.
Its a good problem to have.
So to say the least...Your doing it RIGHT!!! -
Quote:The scrapper without a doubt is gonna be more survivable (they are just build that way) but speaking as an owner of each at 50 the Elm/SD will probably be at a higher top end then the Fire/MM with the same investment. My Elm/SD has approxamately a 150mil inf build while my Fire/MM has more around a 500mil build (athtough not slotted for any survivability besides TI and DP, he has 80% global rech and 34% global dmg).Originally Posted by Simak
I recently got a couple of "test drives" of my friends EM/SD and tbh I was totally amazed of enormous aoe capabilities it has. I'm sure many of you are familiar with capabilities of aao saturated Shield Charge combined to 1-2 other good AoE attacks so I don't describe it any further.
The thing is that I've been levelling fire/ment blaster a short while. He's at low twenties atm. I thought he'd be able to cut through /8 spawn like hot knife through butter. But after I saw performance of em/sd scrapper I started to be more and more conserned about whether he really would be able to compete at least to some degrees with scrappers.
I've got build (in Mids) that has almost capped s/l and ranged def with pretty high recharge. The thing is that I've perhaps 20% of the founds of the build. (I've played more on the red side with my MM). So before levelling him and "deperately" acquiring needed founds I'd like to hear if any of you have experience of this type of blasters builds. Do you think they can be nearly as good for soloing/farming as many ot the scrapper builds? I don't mind if he isn't quite as survivable as scrapper would be but I'd like to be able to gain in damage and speed all that I loose in survivability.
Here's also the build in case someone feels like commenting it.

Each character can farm the Cim wall with relative ease, however I don't worry about death on the scrapper where as my blaster is kill or be killed.
To each there own, but if I was strapped for cash and wanted something to help earn, I'd definately go with the Elm/SD first, then work on the Fire/MM and slot him once you've earned the infl. -
Quote:Elm/SD (if that's what you're thinking bout tryin) Is freakin sweet as heck. He's my most enjoyable toon 1-50, with the new difficulty slider it was an amazing ride. You're AoE Burst to start off a fight more then compensates for the "lack" of ST dmg. Once I get my Recharge bonuses up mine will be even better because then I will have BU for each LR/SC.Originally Posted by Cyber_naut
Think I need to try electric next, and octagons...
-
Thanks Dsorrow, I actually read your guide over when I was originally trying to decide what at all to make next. I was planning the Kat/Invuln (and had one at lvl 6) but wasn't sure where the kat/dark would compare.
-
Thanks Nihilli and Werver, that answer was actually exactly what I was looking for. I wanted the best mix of dmg and survivability, and it looks like Kat/Invuln is more of what I'm looking for. I do have a mid 30 Claw/Dark if I choose to take a /Dark to 50 so there's always that. Thanks Again
-
Scrapper Forum I come to you to find out which you think would be an all around "better" scrapper Kat/Dark or Kat/Invuln? My goal with either would to get moderately to capped S/L Def and moderate to high rech, however I am unsure of which to go with. I know the Invuln would be easier to cap, but would (with the right investment) the Dark perform better? Opinions, suggestions and any other words of encouragement/discouragement are greatly appreciated.
-
Also what is your AoE defense? I noticed that Slice can have devastating effects on my Def numbers, I was thankfully at 42% AoE by the time I was fighting in Cim but the couple that would get thru were a pain.
-
Quote:Since it's going into Ring of Fire, either one is just set mule, Fireblast is getting a full set of T-strikes. If I had 4 slots I'd definately do teh Devastation for the 3% dmg bonus as well.
44.9% ranged defense will take 2% more ranged damage, over time. Whether that's worth 1.87% HP is up to you. Personally I would go for the Thunderstrikes, since you also get damage enhancement and my OCD would compel me to get 45+ defense, although to be honest neither choice is going to have a noticeable effect on performance.
Incidentally, if you want a HP bonus, look at Devastation. It has a bigger HP bonus and a regen bonus as well, and shouldn't be vastly more expensive.
Now this however might prove to be the most beneficial since then I'd have an overall extra slot to use elsewhere. I could throw a call of the sandman proc into havoc punch (giving me 2 chances of heal self in my attack chain) or Put it into Weave for my 3rd eventual LoTG Rech. and Acc. set bonus. In the long run this might prove to be the best thing for me, however I'm leaning toward the Trap of the Hunter for the meanwhile, til i earn the cash/merits to get 3 LoTG +Rech's.Quote:Originally Posted by DSorrow
Or then, you could go for Char instead of RoF and slot it with the two cheapest pieces of Basilisk's Gaze for the same 2.5 E/N, 1.25 Ranged set bonus. -
I just dinged 45 on my Elm/SD/Blaze scrapper and am trying to figure out how to slot Ring of Fire. Will I notice any difference between 46.2% ranged defense and 44.9%? I can either 3 slot RoF with 3 Trap of the Hunter for 1.87% HP bonus or 3 Thunderstrikes for 1.25% Def. Would the higher HP be better then the 1.25% Def, since 44.9% is essentially soft capped anyway?
Thanks! -
I have the PerfShift proc and have had no end issues, except in prolonged fights. (Usually when I try to herd the entire room of +2/x6 Spawns). That is with running Deflection, Battle Agility, Against All Odds, and Weave with 36% end redux in each attack and toggle. Not sure how your slotted other then a lack of IOs.
-
I throw in another nod for Elm/SD. I've got a very effective (fairly cheap) build that had my Melee Def at 40% in the 30s and Melee and Ranged Capped by lvl 43 (my current level). Also a good thing with Elm is you can slot a Call of the Sandman Self heal proc into Charged Brawl and/or Havoc Punch if you can spare the slot. While a small heal, it definately can help with the few hits that get through your defenses.
-
Quote:I'd go this route, and try and soft cap s/l def (also easier with Frozen Armor).
Fire manipulation: Ring of Fire, Combustion, Build up, Blazing Aura, Consume, Burn, Hot Feet
Ice mastery: Flash Freeze (I love sleeps when solo), Frozen Armor, Hoarfrost, Hibernate
If I remember correctly Pistols has a PBAoE that would mesh pretty well with Fire. Plus the idea of Shooting someone then hitting them with a sword of fire would be pretty BA (however I noticed that you don't have either fire sword or fire sword cirlce listed above). -
There was a CoV banner hanging in the background of the final game against Wil Wheaton as well.
-
OOH, just put together this Grav/FF build:
6 non damaging powers from Pri/Sec, 2 powers that make enemies non-attackable, 3 powers that make yourself un-attackable, 4 KB powers in some form or fasion, and 6 low damage powers!
If I ever get Bored I may make this some day, but basically, you offer your sefl ALOT of forms of protection and no damage output.

My wife wants me to make her a class that's incredibly useless, just for fun. More concept than anything. She's a seamstress/pattern maker/jewelry maker/crafter IRL, and I'm thinking either Controller or Defender, but I'm not sure. What do you folks think?
Like a Mind/Kin Troller without any of the good powers and a bunch of pool powers? (Fighting, Flight (AS) and Speed (Flurry)
