Nightmarer

Btw Cap, if it turns out that TA defenders are going to be so useful in the I9 Hami raids, you will be pleased to know there's a whole Sg dedicated to them, "Men in Tights" (anyone willing to roll a TA/AR defender is welcome and we still need a Maiden Marion and a Asneeze among others)

We missed you Broomhilde, looking forward to see you soon. Honestly guys, this was fun, i can't wait to see a full team of debuffs and leadership pool goodies all stacking and although i am a spaniard, i promise i will do my homework and will catch up with the Achoo binds in english.

FA is an end hog even slotted with 3 EndReds. With Conserve Power on it's usually okay, but I still occasionally either switch it off or take a blue to keep going in long fights with Flitz.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh I can manage it with my /SR and my /Inv scrapper full time with the 3 endrdx, I was just wondering if I could go with let's say just 2 endrdx on a regen

Bridger, forget your tank and your new cossie, if necessary I will design a cossie for your new TA/AR defender so you can join "Men in Tights"

OK I will rename my toon Achoo as soon as I get home between 5:30 / 6:00 pm GMT time.
I have seen the movie (many times actually) but in Spanish so I can't get the original English names and stuff so any hints will be welcome.
Has anyone covered already the blind guy?

OMG!!!

It just striked me! I can't wait to see all those oil slicks burning at the same time making a huge foe BBQ lol

Ouch, my boss is cunning, she guessed i was up to no good and she didn't take lunch break lol so i had a frantic run home and created "Merrybowman" but I have no problem in changing his name if required
Now to wait 3 and a half hours until I can log, If anyone logged please send Sg invitation to "Merrybowman" (or any name you guys want me to use lol).
If no problem, I would like to make this SG coalition with a couple other SG's my alts belong to since I have friends that will be interested in joining for sure and we can also use coalition chat

Will also try and bind in as much of the "Men In Tights" song, so it can be sung as we go into battle!

Lol, I wish I had the original English text when the spectator stands up declaring Robin has lost the archery contest, that was the hell of a laugh in Spanish but never had the original English text, I would like that on a bind myself.

Tch! Archery Blaster - a pale imitation of our greatness!

Oh well, I guess we will have to get used to wannabees and copycats, it's the price of being extra cool

Of course the 5% Accuracy Bonus is not substitute for the 33% SO buff, I mentioned that because with my DM scrapper with 1 Acc on attacks (except key ones such as Dark Consumption or Siphon Life) I found 1 Acc slot to be enough, so I guess with BS that has 5% better acc than DM, the Acc would be also satisfactory (even better), however the 1 Acc would suit my playstile and I am more concerned about recrate while for your playstyle accuracy is more important than recrate which is as valid point of view as mine , it is just a matter of the individual player preference, proving once again that the best build is always the one that better suits the playstyle of the person behind the keyboard.
Totally agree with the 3 endrdx slots in FA, too high end drainer, in fact, do you also have it with 3 endrdx in your BS/Regen? I am taking notes already for mine

Is the SG already on or are you guys just getting together for teaming? I will try creating the toon at lunch time (and then uninstall CoH from work )

Mmmm, sorry Steampunk but I still can't see the need of slotting 2 acc SO's in all attacks. Focused Accuracy and 1 Acc SO per attack should be enough plus the 5% acc bonus of the BS powerset, if 2 Acc SO's are required then Focused Accuracy is redundant IMHO. On the other hand I think you are overlooking the recharge rate and BS is a slow recharge attack powerset.
On the other hand, Practiced brawler only needs 2 SO's to be perma (that is for sure, trust me), you could use the 3rd slot for endrdx or you could allocate it somewhere else.

Rez meh plz!!!

Mmm, actually Nightmarer could use some SB while hovering

Heya,

Soz I missed you last night, I just need confirmation if any particular look must be applied to the toon, we still up to original post idea of a techno Robin Hood?

If room I am up to it with Viperfang, lvl19 Claws/DA scrapper

I would hardly consider you a n00b, you had most of the concepts clear, it is just a matter of /SR being a challenging (yet rewarding IMHO) powerset

Considerations:

1.- I don't think a /SR needs travel power, if you want more speed, you can allocate the 2 dmg SO's in Parry to Quickness or Swift.
2.- The /SR passives grant about 7% extra defence plus a dmg res bonus. This dmg res bonus kicks in when health below 60% and scales up to 20%, meaning that if you receive an Alpha or a powerful AV blow, the dmg may be too high for the passives bonus to kick in and being worth something, hence the usefulness of Tough, the 18% dmg reduction combined with the passives bonus may keep you alive a lot.
3.- Leadeship pool may be redundant, I personally think more defence will not harm and Tactics is with the sole purpose of granting resistance to terrorize (you will find out when fighting Jack of Irons or the AV's in RV), however another good possibility could be to use medicine pool here since the biggest weakness of /SR in my opinion is the lack of a self heal or even the travel power as in your original build.
4.- Stacking 2 endrdx in every toggle plus 1 in every attack (Whirling Sword is a big drainer, you may need to lose the recrate SO and put another endrdx here) should keep you well on end making Conserve Power redundant.-

This is the build I will try with my BS/SR in Union and may use Medicine instead of Leadership, still a long way to get there.-

Hope it helps.-

I could argue a few points here, but please bear in mind that this is just my opinion:
1.- No need to use 2 acc SO's in your attacks if you are planning to get Focused Accuracy. Don't forget swords hae a 5% acc bonus
2.- You need endrdx in your toggles also and not in Elude, besides you also need 3ToHitDebuffs in Focused Accuracy
3.- If you managed to get till lvl 49 without a travel power, why choose fly now? Aid self would be more helpful
4.- Evasion is a must, you won't survive any encounter with let's say Nemesis without AoE defence

Sorry, I don't mean to crictizise, I am just talking from experience with a /SR scrapper. Basically you have the power concepts right and you very well spotted about Hasten for BS, just a few things need to be amended since /SR is a challenging build. Let me put a suggested build on another post for you.-

I'll do my best to turn up and speed boost the PA droppers again

[/ QUOTE ]

Looking forward to team with you again, I am not a PA dropper hence I won't need Speed Boost though

I have a couple /DA scrappers and both are fun so far, however I take every decision regarding the build very carefully since I think /DA is the most challenging scrapper powerset. Either Claws/DA is good due to claws being low on end or DM/DA because your Dark Consumption will help on end issues. I am not fond of MA and if you like Dark powers I would recommend you go DM/DA or DM/SR which is also quite challenging and also has Dark powers.
If you are already rolling your MA/DA and for some reason don't find it satisfactory, trust me and give any of these two a go before further judgement, on the other hand, if you have already rolled a MA/DA scrapper and you are having a good time, great, in any case, looking forward to team with you with any of my scrappers

It is tricky, I am not specially fond of regen, however, I am planning a couple /regen scrappers just for the sake of try and in a BS/regen I will probably try the Presence pool. I won't be taking either revive or MoG and will give a go to Invoke Panic to see how it works as an "oh [censored]" power or which other way it can be satisfactorily used on a scrapper.-

Been checking various guides and none of them mention "the glowies" in the 2nd mission. I have been told before not to click these, as they increase the spawn size in the reactor, during the final mission. Can someone either confirm this or help me to dismiss it.

[/ QUOTE ]

As far as I know, to hit the glowies only reduces the number of cooling belts available at the reactor door (I guess it is 1 belt less for each glowie hit).-

I will be there with Nightmarer (soz, no PA droppers). Last Sunday was my 1st and was so great I am looking forward to give it another go, besides, debt can be easliy worked off in RV

Hey I like the idea, I will be creating mine sometime this evening and send you a tell

If there's room I would like to sign up Darkmantler, lvl 26 Scrapper
