You can fit them without major problem providing you get the appropriate +recovery sets.

You'll loose some of the bonuses here and there, but the damage res set bonuses really aren't worth the inf they cost to a DM/DA

If you check the wording of the 2 heal IOs which give the big recovery boost, they only work for 120secs, not the whole time. So it may be worth double checking the figures.

The bonuses for slotting 2 or more enhcs of a set are perma and if you slot the 2 uniques in health, then the recovery is also perma.
I think the inf on sets is very much worthy, specially on /DA scrappers which are arguably the most benefitted in I9. I agree with you on the damage mitigation toggles, now a DA scrapper can have ALL DA toggles including Cloak of Fear plus Tough and Focused Accuracy running and having similar endurance issues as a SR or an INV had prior to I9.
The build I posted is supposedly able to work with a minimum number sets (KB prot and recovery ones) until the rest can be bought, which is going to take quite sometime tbh, but if you have fun playing a DM/DA, that shouldn't be a problem.

I am about to leave for airport, unfortunately my trips are not vacation, anyway I'm taking my laptop with me, I still have Agent Magnum at lvl11 )or 12, I can't remmeber now). I won't be able to log today since I'm arriving in Ljubljana tonight at 21:00, but if there's internet in the room, I'll log all day this week. If I can't and you guys lvl fast, I can join then with Nightmarer, lvl 32 dark/dark defender and keep the lowbies for when we do the second team after we all reach 50
I am afraid my main pottie is ready to be ebayed, still undecided if selling it or getting more RAM, a wireless card and a new graphics card, my old (I mean old) ATI can't take the CoX heat any longer, but I am not sure I want to invest more money on it.

Gratz Rogue, nice mish to hit 50 and with nice company also (including myself of course).-

Ah well, seems we won't be able to do the fast run after all, I heard through the grapevine that from I10, AV won't be skippable anymore and we'll have to kill Mary 10 times.
Well, more inf and more drops.-

Actually I like Union Badgehunters, I have played mostly in Defiant but now I am working on a couple toons in Union so I joined Union Badgehunters channel and it is a very friendly and helpful channel.

Gah, sorry I didn't show up, spent all the afternoon formatting my computer. Hey, I know how to get fun on a Saturday

Grtaz to both, well done and I think it was a nice way for the big ding, STF.

My first time on a double big ding

Soz guys, need to format my PC, don't think I can make it for this, good luck.-

Sure, just send me a tell @Nightmarer with your toon's name. We'll meet at 18:15 BST in IP

Mmmm, we did Hess just under 2 hours and only ghosted 1 mission, if we ghost more I guess it can be done in 1 hour. Anyway I was wondering about repeatable because if it is a 1 time TF, I already used it then, just let me know when you guys want to do it and I will accomodate. Not sure now if it caps at 30 or 31.-

Ah well, on space left but I think we can recruit someone in the last minute. I will see you all at 18:15 BST in Independence Port, nearby Jane Hallaway. Not sure how the spawn lvls will be, if they are just based on leader's lvl, perhaps would be wise lowest lvl to have star.-

I can unlock the Hess TF with Nightmarer. Let me know what do you think of doing it on Sunday July the 8th or if you prefer to wait until Friday the 13th in the evening since I will have already returned from my trip (I guess Hess is repeatable once unlocked).-

I'll join with Miniblast for the Saturday session if can be done between 15:30 pm and 19:30 pm BST.
Bear in mind I am not sure about next week since I will be abroad, but I can catch up later on since I will be on holiday from July the 16th till July the 29th.-

Did I mention I will have 2 weeks holiday?

Cyn, I am starting to think you know more things about the game than MaX

Ah, I will have to work on that, usually my bios are along the lines:

"I don't like you and if you have any problem with that just petition me."

Or similar variations of the above. I'll come up with something though (I guess).-

Mmmm, not sure I want to roll a new toon for this, I was planning either Agent Magnum lvl 11 earth/rad troller or Miniblast, lvl 5 Ill/rad troller, but you already have one for Earth and I am not sure what would Miniblast represent.

I'll make sure I have shivies, can't promise about nukes though.-

Here's a quick Build I just made, it is obviously improvable but I think it is quite a good one. Be warned that all these sets is going to be awfully expensive like in hundred of mill inf if you just want to buy everything. Your best choice is to do as many TF's - Trials you can for the drops and the inf. It is quite close to the one I am planning for my DM/DA (if not same, I don't have the other one here:

If I recall correctly, the one I have planned for my lvl 28 DM/DA is same but it has Siphon Life with 2 Lysosome Exposures and 4 Miracle Set enhancements (same as Dark Regeneration) instead of Shadow Punch. Might respec it later in ame and go for Shadow Punch instead.-

Your KB prot won't be the same than with Acrobatics, but you Mag 8 should be enough for PvE except for occasional KB by Fake Nemesis. You can always skip Air Superiority and get Acrobatics, hence you can skip both the Karma KB Prot enhancement and use a Luck of the Gambler Recharge Reduction in Combat Jumping and also skip the Steadfast KB Protection and use another from the Aegis set.-

Plz count me in for a regular weekly double run, preferibly Wednesdays, I found out that the weekly STF plus occasional Trials and radio mishes in PI are not getting me anywhere near all the sets I need at the pace required.

Mmmm, tomorrow I have my weekly STF in Defiant at noon and another one at 8 pm, that will leave me a window from about 15:30 BST (may be earlier) until 20:00. I'll join with Agent Magnum, earth/rad troller (1.5 bars till lvl 12) and he already has a raptor pack, so I'm easy to accomodate. On that range I also have a lvl9 Claws/SR scrapper in case a scrapper is more needed, I'd rather join with Agent Magnum though, he's fun on large teams.-

Well, we still have a space open in our 1st respec trial tonight at 6:15 pm BST if you want to join us. If all goes well, should be done in 90 min, nice xp, nice inf and your choice of either a respec or a rare recipe from Trial Pool.

Ok, I am confirmed in both Katie Hannon runs from 7:00 pm so I won't be able to meet you at KR station, anyway I'll be logged, so if you guys don't mind, let me know what do you agree to do as new regular team project and I'll acomodate.-

Argh, sorry to bother, I'll also switch my toons since I already have all badges in Darkmantler, hence I'll use him for the quick run and will keep Clat for the second just in case.

So far looks good, Defcon can sk Peacefighter, DOS can sk British Burner and Wicca can sk Mach2 so we'll all be in the 30-34 range, it might be still a big level gap but worth the try making sure everyone is in heroic reputation.
