Quoting TheJersey from memory:

"Fulcrum shifted Inferno for the overkill"

Now I don't have FS yet but Transference alone makes Inferno so good that I'd be crazy to skip it.

Fulcrum shift and Blizzard not bad either - and it makes good use of scourge

Grats guys awesome achievement

Always nice seeing someone dign 50. Grats

I PvP with both my scrappers regularly and I see them equally good but as mentioned before they excel in different situations. I personally prefer my regen in 1vs1 (except against kineticists ) and my SR for teams. Oh and the both equally rubbish against rads

I have always been a fan of MoG until I got Elude on my SR scrapper and I realised how much it pails in comparison and fair too situational to merit the slots to make it reasonable.

I would take out 2 slots in resilience because they make such little difference, especially when you have tough, and put another slot in Soul drain and an end reduction in Tough.

I love having acro personally but I really hate knockback and hovering around isnt my thing combat jumpming also a really useful power to have for obvious reasons.

2 accuracy and 3 slotted To hit Build up usually enough to hit most things I'd rather have a recharge or end reduction in it tbh.

Martial Arts isn't gimped and Fire Secondary is much worse than devices for blasters.

Grats and I thought lvl 43 was quite good

Take care Jummi always been a pleasure

Team 4 and 10: Mondays and wednesdays are tough for me and sunday is a no go, but any other day is all good. i can do wednesday after 8.30 and monday after 9.30, but if there's a time difference for some of you you'd probably appreciate an earliar time Let me know what you guys can do

[/ QUOTE ]

I have exams around then but the fight shouldnt take more than 15 minutes - best time would Tuesday evening 7ish UK time, hows that for everyone?

[ QUOTE ]
Er, why do you say that SoTW is useless while Flashing Steel is a part of the regular attack chain. Flashing Steel seems clearly inferior choice for PvP as it costs more, recharges slower and does less damage. Its only advantage is that it's a cone, but how much of an advantage is a melee cone in PvP?

[/ QUOTE ]

Must admit I dont have Flashing Steel limited use in PvP

Grats

Looking at hero planner 3 slotted with damage it does 80% of the damage as a 3 slotted energy punch, means you can spam it more without losing much DPS.

[ QUOTE ]
Not only can we do mass SG battles with you but also raids now too..

Cant wait should be great fun

Thats 1 down - thx thePhilosopher

[/ QUOTE ]

Most people call me Phil

Thanks for that guys was great fun

[ QUOTE ]
I would 6 slot Combustion sooner.

[/ QUOTE ]

I didnt pay much attention to the order of slots and I'm at lvl 33 already.

[ QUOTE ]
Do Fire controllers get an AoE immob? Otherwise Burn is not a great power.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes and only reason I have it.

[ QUOTE ]
I found Build Up to be a bit rubbish with the Fire secondary, the animations of the attacks are too long.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fiery Embrace -> Build UP -> Combustion -> Burn -> Firesword Circle
Works really well, even better in i7, AoE distruction

[ QUOTE ]
3rd end red in Blazing Aura probably will make more difference to your endurance than the second slot in Fire Shield or Plasma Shield.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks for pointing it out

[ QUOTE ]
With me slotwise consume would be more accurate, healing flames would have more recharge. Char would have 3 accuracies as id rather not miss than have a more than necessary hold duration.

[/ QUOTE ]

I can play around with enhances in the slots, I agree with char have to test out Consume properly.

[ QUOTE ]
Slots from boxing would be used to do this and my blazing aura would have 3 accuracies to even hope to compete with the auras of the other tanker sets.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not too bothered about losing aggro to other tanks, I would be there for damage. Although how would you slot it 3 Acc 2 Red End 1 Taunt? I'd quite like to have boxing as an attack to make a better single target attack chain.

[ QUOTE ]
You have Taunt at level 47. I don't see the point. You should get it earlier ( level 24 perhaps ) or not bother with it at all. I suggest the former.


[/ QUOTE ]

I find it easy enough to maintain aggro through AoEs and my aura (usually hits due to perma fort and tactics), so I feel I would be better off getting other powers beforehand. Also with Taunts 5 person limit it strikes me that it isnt the power it once was . . .

This is my proposed build for a Fire/Fire Tank duoed with a Fire/Empathy Controller. I'm not very experienced with tanks so any comments would be appreciated. He's lvl 33 atm and once he hits 37 I plan to respec into this build:

I'm afraid powerboost only boosts the debuff (secondary effect) and not the damage (primary effect)

[/ QUOTE ]

This for all defender nukes or just Blackstar, I'm sure it made my defender's Nova more damaging (50% Damage boost I think), and if it is just Blackstar seems unfair.

[ QUOTE ]
Self +DMG, +ACC, +Special
Your mastery of power and energy allows you to greatly increase the damage you deal for a few seconds, as well as slightly increasing your Accuracy Additionally, Power Build Up greatly boosts the secondary effects of your powers. Your powers effects like Heals, Defense Buffs, Endurance Drains, Disorients, Holds, Immobilizes, Knockbacks and more, are all improved. Recharge: Long

Drop Revive you don't need it at all for PvP.


[/ QUOTE ]

For zonal PVP it might be fun to have after the hospital changes in I7, but its not necessary in theory.

On test I was playing with revive useful against AVs and 8 on 1s

Sign-up here - Hobnob Aramis, BS/Regen, little PvP experience. Even if there's no team for me, I can wade about hitting things randomly.
