Nightmarer

Update so far:

1.- Nightmarer DM/SR Scrapper
2.- Thelema Dark/Dark Defender lvl 45?*
3.- Morgan Le Fay, mind/kin troller lvl 50**
4.- Quantum Flash, Ill/kin troller lvl 50
5.- Tilt, nrg/elec blaster lvl 45
6.- Sonique Boom, lvl 50 blaster
7.-
8.-

*Plz keep us posted of your progress on Thelema towards lvl 45

**I've put your troller in case we need dmg buff, if we have enough dmg dealers, then you bring whichever toon you wish.-

You da man!!

Honestly now, I am not at al fussed by the Invasion (as you might have noticed) and I am itching to team with Agent Magnum, so if you guys are up to resume the teaming, I'm up to it, but if you are enjoting the Invasion event, then we can resume when it finishes (hopefully at the soonest).-

I have a lvl 50 Kat/Inv scrapper and I very much agree with everything you say, although I'd like to put my 2 cents if you don't mind:

Resist Elements / Resist Energies: Yes, not very high resistance, however these are easy powers to use since they only require the base slot which can be used for uniques, bear in mind that with the right combination of Unique Enhancements - Set Bonuses you can make your /Inv scrapper 20ish% resistant to Psionic Damage, and that IS an improvement for /Inv.-

Prsence Pool: I just respecced it out of my scrapper, I thought it was going to be helpful, but I have been laregly disappointed on that, specially with Invoke Panic, even 2xacc - 1xrchg - 3xfear slotted, the duration is pants.-

Medicine Pool: Agreed partially, bear in mind that now you can significantly reduce the recharge of Dull Pain with Hasten + Set bonuses. Iirc, there was a thread in the scrappers section which explained how to make Dull Pain perma.-

The guide is extremely good imo, just wanted to add these bits of personal experience on the sets.-

Sooo, do we really have to wait until the whole invasion thing is over? I mean, yeah, the invasion and stuff was cool the first 5 minutes, but it is starting to be annoying, in fact very much annoying, darn it! I swear I HATE all those red stoopid messages and getting into a zone to do my stuff and find bombs and Rikti everywhere!!

Oooops, soo, we resuming this week?

A thing to remember is that most "Granite" builds you'll find posted up are post-respec. ie the toon reaches 38 (32 for tanks) and then ditches all "unnecessary" armours in favour of Granite and whatever powers will lessen the impact of its slowing effects.

[/ QUOTE ]

Mmmm, never had a granite toon, neither tank or brute and I am not sure I got your exact meaning here (sometimes my English plays tricks on me soz). As I'll be shortly rolling a stone brute, could you please be a little bit more specific on your advice Steam? I mean, which powers can be respecced safely once you reach Granite lvl?

Thx

Gah, reading these posts does no good to my altitis, at the beginning of the thread I was decided to roll a Fire/Dark, then a Fire/Ice and I ended up rolling an Ice/Cold corruptor.

You da man! looking forward to Wednesday, I should be on at 6:15 pm

Ture, I don't know it myself

4) Nightmare (a scrapper of some sort)

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry mate, TF is 45+, I forgot to put it on my original post

Tbh I think DA covers up for AoE dmg for most sets, so for decent AoE dmg any set with DA will do to an extent, however, if you're looking for "teh ubah" AoE dmg, Spines/DA is unbeatable at that, at least while you have end.

Soooo,

We're on for this Wednesday or do we give it a break until the Invasion is over?

Heya,

Well, this is pretty fun and quite rewarding TF so if you want to give it a go, plz sign in.
If possible, I'd like to do this in rugged, but it is not really a must.-

To avoid misunderstandings, I am not putting reserves, we'll stick to the list and if someone doesn't show up then recruit on site. Plan B, to make this funnier would be to have two teams and race the TF

Yep, it was fun TF, thx all for joining

Next time we should try it on rugged, I ended up a couple million inf short to finish a set

Coolest mate

I am already at Lady Grey in RWZ

Latest news:

1.- Nightmarer (DM/SR)
2.- ZipZap kin/elec defender
3.- The_Target - Toon to be decided
4.- Sarcazmo - WS
5.- Defcon Kid - Either empath or rad

As nobody else seems to want a go here, we'll try to get 3 more dmg dealers once at Lady Grey, ideally 1 blaster or corruptor and 2 scrappers or brutes, MM's also welcome

Unfortunately unlike Build Up, they need mobs nearby to get the buff. Follow up needs to hit a foe like Parry/DA, and Soul Drain only gives a good damage/tohit buff when you have multiple enemies nearby to "leech" from (it gives +5% Tohit/15% Damage per enemy, Build Up is a straight +20% Tohit, +100% damage buff). That's one of the reasons that those primaries can perform poorly in PvP combat... DM having Negative typed damage offsets this disadvantage slightly, but Claws has no such bonus.

The Stalker versions of those two powersets has Build Up in place of Follow Up/Soul Drain though...

Concerning DA's AoE capability, Shadow Maul is the only attack that can reliably be used to kill more than one foe at a time, and it's a narrow cone. Soul Drain and Dark Consumption (the other "AoE") do negligable damage and have a very long recharge, like Fire Aura's "Consume" they're not really useful as attacks but as utility.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep although I still think they "somehow" cover up for Build Up but on special situations.

And yes, the 2 AoE's from DM suck as attacks per se, just thought if you are doing a breakdown of scrapper primaries, should be included and explained a bit.-

[ QUOTE ]

- Claws -
Mixture of cones, single target and ranged attacks.
Highest single target damage output over time.
Lethal damage. No Build Up. Knockback.
Low endurance cost.

- Dark Melee -
Mostly single target attacks. Some DoT.
Good balance of Negative and smashing damage.
No Build Up. Fear and immobilise.
Mediocre endurance cost.

[/ QUOTE ]

Mmmm, can't be Follow Up and Soul Drain considered somehow the "Build Ups" for Claws and DM.

Btw, on DM you forgot 2 low dmg AoE's one of them increases ToHitBuff and Dmg and the other one replenishes endurance

Ok, update so far:

1.- Nightmarer (DM/SR) or Clattuc (Kat/Inv) Depends on timer
2.- ZipZap kin/elec defender

I will see you guys tomorrow at 15:00 at Lady Grey in RWZ. we're only 4 for the moment, but I guess it won't be difficult to get more peeps in case no one else signs up.

Heya,

Sorry for short notice. If enough people interested, both Heroes and Villains, I'd like to do another LGTF.
If you're interested, please sign in. To avoid problems, I'd like to do this on a first come first served basis, giving preference to the first ones in signing up (unless they don't show up).-

As per today's experience, we need high dmg and a regen debuffer if possible, otherwise we'll need a Shivan run for The Honoree and btw, Defiance does not work at all

Oh sorry about that Bear. Shame specially after our tank quit on us. Kinda weird, 7 team mates fighting together, the tank somewhere else refusing TP and shouting at us "Stop soloing please".
We had more problems than expected with The Honoree and we had to do a Shivan run to get rid of him. All that for a crappy Stupefy recipe lol. Luckily I got insect wings during the TF and realized at the very end, so it wasn't that bad (dammit! Stupefy! why the heck do I need Stupefy for, I am a scrappa!)

Early dinner for me then, and no going to the pub, lol!

[/ QUOTE ]

We need you for aggro management!!

Probably at lvl 47 you want to use HO's for some powers, Nucleolus exposures (Acc/dmg) will come handy for Death Shroud and endoplasm exposures (Acc/Mez) for Cloak of Fear.
You can put 2 or 3 HO's and 2 endrdx in these powers.

Although DA is very end heavy, Claws is the lightest on end, I am having half the trouble in my Claws/DA endwise than in my DM/DA

Inside the Vanguard Base, where Lady Grey is, on the Rikti War Zone 1 instance, be there in time to start the TF at 7pm please.

[/ QUOTE ]

LoL i have no idear were that is!

Ill find it!

[/ QUOTE ]

No worries, just log in Peregrine Island 5 min before 7 and send me a tell @Nightmarer and I'll take you there.

In fact, we could start the TF at RWZ3 to avoid unnecessary lag at RWZ.
Btw, we completed this last night in a little less han 3 hours, our team was 5 scrappers, 1 blaster, 1 dark/dark defender and an archer/rad troller. We cleared almost all mobs in TF and we earned around 5 - 6 mill inf each. I am glad to have a great TF where brute force is not a priority (STF) and another great TF where you can let out steam by vanquishing everything in your path like this one.-

Mmmm, let's hope this goes well otherwise I sense a post "everyone did wrong except me" and I also sense this time I will be banned if such a post happens.
