Nine_Claws

If they are doing full monster mash then NO Scorpion.
You could help with Kraken (Perez) and Babbage (Boomtown) and Lusca (Indy Port)
but not with Eochai & Jack in Irons (Croatoa) or Adamastor (Dark Astoria) or Jurassik (Crey's Folly) as you are too low for zones.

Going to postpone this....as may have to work over christmas week. Will post again when times suit...!

I will reliterate my original point. It depends on your playing style.

Yes, I'm fully aware that a scrapper is a damage dealer, primarily. However, I was trying to put my point across that I like to break up my attack chain (especially when teaming) so that it isn't just lethal damage that I am inflicting....I want to kock them back and reduce their dmg too. I know that LBE will not be an effective power for large -def, like trollers and def's debuff powers.

I just like to mix it up....and if needs be could respec my build for maximum dmg.

The point regarding MoG is valid....I know when to use and when not too...I just don't like it, where as other ppl love it. (definately a marmite power)

The blog about def's, ignore that....I'm sure you don't spam heal, but plenty of other empaths do.......
I have an empath and never heal ppl that don't need healing.

Looking to do all 3 respec missions on the 27th December. Please advise which respec you wish to help with when posting, need a minimum of 4 people per respec. preferably need 1 tank, 1 troller and 1 def per group. My lvl 50 scrapper will be doing each mission

Start at 3pm (meet 10 minutes beforehand) Respec 1 info
lvl24-34 Meet at Jane Halloway in Independence Port.

Start at 5pm (meet 10 minutes beforehand) Respec 2 info
lvl 34-43 Meet at Captain James Harlan in Founder's Falls

Start at 7pm (meet 10 minutes beforehand) Respec 3 info
lvl 44+ Meet at Major Flagg in Rikti Crash Site

You can find all contact locations here

Hopefully these shouldn't over run...but if they do, please be patient.

All lvl ranges are a minimum.....but everyone welcome. Would be easier to do if everyone is higher lvl than cap, as would all then be same level when auto-exemplared.

Plus if I remember correctly LBE requires you to put your claws away.

You obviously have a certain attack chain that you cycle. I love scrapping...but rather than just hitting anything that moves, I like to try and reduce defence. I like to mix melee with ranged attacks also. I have certain attack patterns for certain foes, no doubt you have too....comes down to playing style again....I can tank when needed also.

Seems like your scrapper is one dimensional...might as well just turn foes into punch bags.....I also bet that you have a empath def as an alt, that spams heals too.

[ QUOTE ]
I've run out of decent powers to choose are there any others worth taking ie: stealth,tough,weave,or any from the leadership pool, i rarely team.

[/ QUOTE ]

My 50....didn't take the fighting pool and barely died solo....odd occasions when encountered EB/AV...and tried to take whole mob on at once, lol. Learnt my lesson there very quickly.

Always had tactics and assault (leadership), now have vengeance too....good when others fall in battle. (took me ages to work out how to use it thou)

may respec soon....and add tough as a power...just for combatting faceplanting in PvP. May also get leaping pool for acrobatics too. Originally had both speed and flight, but respec SS out...regret that, hasten definately a must!

Will post my build soon......when eventually get around to it

[ QUOTE ]
2. How many attacks should I have? I've got all of them now, except Confront. Though it seems to me Eviscerate is rather useless for its End cost, as I rarely hit more than 2 enemies with it.

[/ QUOTE ] Not using it correctly obviously...I have found it as a neccesity when soloing larger mobs, just like Spin.

[ QUOTE ]
4. Other Pool Powers. Are there any worth taking? I've got Swift and Health at the moment.

[/ QUOTE ] My Scrapper is lvl 50 and recent patches have nerfed endurance, so will have to respec Fitness Pool in now...also spending more time in PvP area, so have gone for stealth aswell....may even respec flight for leaping too...

In Firekitty's guide they have MoG....This may work well with some ppl but IMO it sucks big time!!! Leave it out i say.

Also noticed that the build only has 1 ancillary power Focused Accuracy from Body Mastery...I would disagree with the build on this basis. I have 3 BM powers including Conserve Power (very useful when fighting carnies and malta, especially EB's and Av's), I also have Energy Torrent (great cone dmg and kb, good for putting bosses down) and also taken Laser Beam Eyes for lowering Damage taken from foes too.

Conclusion = Fire Kitty's build is ok IMO...but could be much better...and mine (far from perfect) also has it's flaws....but ultimately it depends on your own playing style, more than anything else.

Seasons Greetings to you all.

I also will be getting hammered with friends and family alike.

I hope you all get what you are wishing for! and the Queen's speech doesn't bore you too much (UK residents)!!

3 Places taken....need another 4 minimum....but full team would be better....first come, first served!!!

Sure....at moment would prefer the troller until others sign up....but either alt is welcome....which one would you prefer using?

Would love to do it, but Sunday Evening no good for me....
Any chance that on this 1 occasion you could do it on Sat 16th at 6pm...? please, pretty please

If so then my lvl 50 claws/regen/BM scrapper would love to come....however, it would be my first time....

Have read the guide....and seems like mammoth team tactics required....sounds awesome though.

Calling all would be heroes to defeat some Crey scum......
I need to complete this taskforce so I can get the Commander badge....and goodies...
Would prefer higher lvl alts, but anyone over lvl 30 welcome...prompt start 7pm please....

I am looking to take down the Ghost of Scrapyarder with my level 30 MM. Is there anyone that can help?

[/ QUOTE ]

My lvl 34 brute needs the badge...but cannot help until the weekend of 16/17 Dec...if that helps!

[ QUOTE ]
Tamcron - lvl 31 claws/dark armour rad defender


[/ QUOTE ]

Think your signature needs some work? Surely a claws/DA would be a scrapper...and not a rad def?

Unless of course this is a deliberate mistake?

Capt

[/ QUOTE ]

In a team match

[/ QUOTE ]

Shush don't take away my moment of glory I'm not a very good PvP'er, I'm just the host!

[/ QUOTE ]

I think that a lot of your Glory Capt A was down to me, reducing Capt Sky's HP considerably....however, we got well hammered when the MM turned up....lol

I think our main problem in that match, which we lost 28-1, was the fact we let him set up his pets, and should have hammered him as soon as the match started.

Went onto the cage event with Capt Sky....that was cool, except the storm def's hurricane made it near on impossible to defeat Capt Sky in that one.

Had a 1-1 with a troller that hid for the entire event, and only defeated him once...that was well boring.

Another small point as well...can you get the badges from Pocket D events?...as need both the Lanista and Grand Lanista badges?....good hour of fun though anyhow!

[ QUOTE ]
I'll run a pilot test tonight at 8PM. Come on down and we'll see what happens!

Capt

[/ QUOTE ]

Will pop in with NC at 8pm to see what's happening...see you there

[ QUOTE ]
i think you've just hit a bad patch, i playe exclusivly on union and usually have no problems except for the last week. the last guy who on seeing my reward badges (12 months) asked how many 50s i had on saying none he immediatly presumed that i had bought my account off ebay!

any way i've just started a new toon on union so if your wanting to met some good players give me a shout at @atomitor or keep a look out for my new blaster ice master c

[/ QUOTE ]

With any community there is always bound to be a few village idiots...just because you have no 50's in 12 months doesn't mean that you are not a valid community member.

I only have one lvl 50 which I dinged after 16 months, however I do have 16 alts...and am definately an altoholic. I have also deleted many toons....takes ages to find out exactly what you like playing and what you don't. Ignore these idiots....may you prosper

And if you had bought an account from ebay (which is against EULA), then surely you would have bought an account with at least one lvl 50 with at least 1 respec...

[ QUOTE ]
I know this will proably never happen but I think that a cowboy MM set would rock. You could have a six-shooter and summon cowboys and stuff. Post your comments here such as what the highter tier goons would be. Also, what could a possible corresponding secondary set be?

[/ QUOTE ]

Secondary power could be lassoing...would be mainly holds and immobilisation powers...

The six shooter would need an aim, build up and snipe powers definately...

The base would be either a whorehouse or a saloon?

Travel power would be a horse, h8 to think of the animation codes needed...

If you have room and need a brute... I have a level 34 SS/nrg that needs the badge...send to global name below if you need help. Thanks Phlox

Hey Nine Claws. I'm afraid I managed to gather enough interested parties last night, and went for the badge around hour and a half after my original post was made.

Good news is, it was Pinkette's contact not mine... and I'm expecting/hoping to get the contact myself as soon as I'm done with Pete Stemitz. So I'll gladly make another announcement with ample notice whenever that happens.

[/ QUOTE ]

see that you are doing Manticore tonight...good luck. If you have the corruptor mission by tomorrow, then am free between 6pm and 9pm, and would love to do it..
