Nugget_

Dammit BB! You realise you've picked exactly the same powers at exactly the same levels as me, dont you!

Ah, well, at least I know it'll be easy levelling for a while

Hi all - just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me reach 40 this weekend - It was the busiest ive seen it for a while and we managed to get an excellent set of teams (Mostly E.V.I.L.) on Sunday to help me burn through the final bubs.

Now, I can concentrate on the important things - like making more Alts

Im trying to plan a respec build for I7, but I just cant decide which to go for... I could really use some advice from some more experienced Stalkers who know how the powers work when used properly...

1) Do I go for Stamina or just use the Energy Drain ability in the EA set? I usually tend to hit and run, so to stand in the middle of a group and un-hide with Energy Drain is tantamount to suicide, but to get Stamina means a pool power set and 3 powers used...

2) Do I get Fly, Teleport or both? I hate teleporting across zones, but its better for PvP escape - both would be great, but its an extra power pool...

3) Is the Medicine pool worth it? I'd like the self heal if I could fit it in, but - you guessed it...its another pool and 2 powers. If I do take it, how should I slot it?

4) Is Energy Transfer worth it? I got it at 26 before, but I never use it - am I nerfing myself by not using a decent attack?

5) Are the EA defensive powers worth taking? Entropy shield is fantastic, but I never really use the other two, as Im never around long enough to scrap. I can see where they would be useful, but are they worth it?

I also have a couple of question with the new Patron powers...

6) If the snipe damage is as low as they say (Hide+Snipe is less powerful then a Blaster snipe) is it worth getting the plain range attack instead? Runners have low health anyway, and AS is far better while hidden than snipe)..

And finally 7) how would a pet be useful to a Stalker? If we hide, and they dont, then any hero will see us coming a mile off.

Please help!

Ive put the following build together, but im still not 100% sure about it. The main issue I have is deciding what to slot and when - any advice greatly appreciated

1) --> Hack ==>(1 Acc, 3 Dam, 2 Rchg)
1) --> Fast Healing ==>(3 Heal)
2) --> Slice ==>(1 Acc, 3 Dam, 2 Rchg)
4) --> Reconstruction ==>(3 Rchg, 3 Heal)
6) --> Quick Recovery ==>(3 End Mod)
8) --> Parry ==>(1 Acc, 2 Dam, 3 DefBuff)
10) --> Dull Pain ==>(3 Rchg, 3 Heal)
12) --> Teleport Foe ==>(1 Rchg)
14) --> Teleport ==>(2 EndRed, 1 Range)
16) --> Integration ==>(3 Heal)
18) --> Whirling Sword ==>(1 Acc, 3 Dam, 2 Rchg)
20) --> Assault ==>(1 EndRed)
22) --> Tactics ==>(1 EndRed)
24) --> Swift ==>(1 Run)
26) --> Disembowel ==>(1 Acc, 3 Dam, 2 Rchg)
28) --> Build Up ==>(3 Rchg)
30) --> Health ==>(3 Heal)
32) --> Head Splitter ==>(1 Acc, 3 Dam, 2 Rchg)
35) --> Stamina ==>(3 End Mod)
38) --> Hasten ==>(3 Rchg)
41) --> Focused Accuracy ==>(3 ToHitBuf, 1 EndRed)
44) --> Laser Beam Eyes ==>(1 Acc, 3 Dam, 2 Rchg)
47) --> Resilience ==>(3 DamRes)
49) --> Super Speed ==>(1 Run, 1 EndRed)

I've never played a scrapper before, so I dont know if im better of slotting my secondarys, or to focus on my attacks.

Thanks in advance guys

Nugget, have you actually smelt him?

[/ QUOTE ]

Of course not! - im still breathing arent I?

(I apologise for the childishness of the earlier insult, but I was tired and couldnt think of anything witty or clever to say. Rest assured that were I on normal form, Artanix would be so insulted he would probably explode or something. We now return you to your regular programming...)

Firstly, I refer you to my previous post - NOVASTARR IS NO MORE!!
Secondly, if you take into account the prestige I've made with alts and the afore mentioned dead villain, I've probably made twice as much prestige as you.
Thirdly, you smell

How does this look for a PVP/PVE build guys n gals?:

hmm what ever happened to that novastarr guy

NOVASTARR HAS PASSED ON!
He is no more!
He has ceased to be!
He has expired and gone to meet his maker!
He's a stiff!
Bereft of life, he rests in peace!
His metabolic processes are history!
He's off the twig!
He's kicked the bucket!
He's shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the choir bleedin' invisible!
NOVASTARR IS AN EX-HERO!!

i'm back in game again now, i can't have nugget getting above my level now can i :S

[/ QUOTE ]

...say, has anyone looked at the SG member list lately....you know, the one that shows who's at what level, whos higher levels than who an stuff....

We havent Arena'd for a while - I dont think Ive ever actually been involved in an arena event against another VG - could make a nice change from killing you guys

I've tried looking around on various boards, but they all seem PVP orientated or hopelessly out of date (6 slot Impale for damage )

The idea is to level fast, and Respec to PVP at a much higher level

Can anyone help?

As the owner of the fund, I would oversee its distribution.. I'll have to leave the money in my personal account for now until the fund is fully set up....

btw If anyone else wants to donate, make cheques payable to Criminals Against Super Heroes project, or CASH for short.....

Will Nugget ever wash?

Hey, Im a robot! Me in a bath means electrocution for the rubber ducky....

hmmmm, that sounds fun......
<pours bath>

Yeah right - I heard youve never tasted milk cos once it gets near your face, it curdles....

Guys - feel free to add your own 'Youre so ugly that....' jokes here.

Hey! I may be small, but at least I aint so ugly I have to cover half my face.....

And as for Max being back..

Hi Max - welcome back! - here have a poison candy..... did I say poison...erm I mean....erm...look - monkeys!
<runs>

No - VOTE NUGGET!

A vote for Nugget is a vote for not having your family dissapear silently in the middle of the night...

I didnt say your name was silly - you did....

However, if I did say that, it would be only be to help discredit you. For the record, the Nugget administration finds both Tufty and Trogflogger to be perfectly good names

VOTE NUGGET!!

PS vote quickly! - Max will be back soon, making this whole power struggle pointless....
PPS Notice I completely ignored Artanix's comment - the sooner he accepts Novastarr's demise, the better for everyone - especially his close relatives........or maybe his drums......

I just received the following letter from Tufty, concerning the above post...

"Dear Forumites and members of E.V.I.L.,

I now realise I was wrong to oppose Nuggets new regime. I concede to his authority and urge you all to do the same.

I would also like to point out that my name is silly, and I seem to have developed a condition whereby I will start lying for no reason. Any posts made by myself stating that this letter is fake are symptoms of that condition and should be ignored.

Regards

Tufty

PS All hail Nugget!"

I think that should help clear thing up ...

VOTE NUGGET!

I have a simple solution to this internal power struggle:

VOTE NUGGET!

As leader, I will ensure all your deaths are swift and painless.

Er, did I say death?.... I meant....erm...presents! Yes, presents, thats it....

<quiet evil chuckle> Fools!..soon my time will be.... Is this thing still on?...

You say Potato,....

Me! Me! Pick Me!

Nugget, my Stalker is almost 26 - I'll see if I can level him before hand, but count me in

Im also trying to get my pets to respond to the attack using the $target command, but I cant get it to work - but im sure Ive seen another MM's pet do it

Am i just being thick, or is there an issue here?

thats better - thanks

Is there any way to overwrite what the pets usually respond with? Ive tried some binds, but they just end up saying both responses
