    Yes, but I wouldn't compare confront to Taunt or any of the other powers that have taunt aspects in them because the purpose of confront is to pull a baddie off of a friend if they get in a bind, not to pull baddies to you so you can take the damage or in the aura's case fulfill designated role. I'm not trying to argue friend, I just agree and disagree with the reasoning behind it. Carry on man.

    Using any power on a level 1 group will most likely cause them to run away, that's hardly a viable way of testing an affect.

    Not to sure what you meant by that.

    And No? So you do not have the greatest chance of fearing a baddie that is 49 levels below you? If the power MISSES they will run, regardless, but then again thats not what I said was it? They run because of threat level more than likely. What I was saying is that they ran after being feared only a few seconds.

    I didn't say they didn't have ANY taunt. I said they shouldn't have taunts built in at all if the case of baddies running away is not working. You would first have to find out exactly why they run. Being as it seems pretty isolated of a problem (IE scrappers) Maybe its that way for a reason. We all have opinions as to why baddies run, but throwing taunt at a toon that really shouldnt be taunting (true definition) seems pointless. RTTC has taunt because the power is driven by baddies so it would make sense to HAVE taunt attributes to it. Nonetheless, we just differ in opinions. Cheers.
  5. Why does the build have to be played? I have an MA/SR. All I am saying is you wind up in the wrong position for too long you will drain based on your recharge. And my Regen can have almost 4 Net recovery and still drain after a long fight (AV, Pylon, 17 +3's etc etc). I just think the real issue here is what your idea of pretty well and near unlimited means. I have ran toons with better end use/end rec. I do not need to "downgrade" my recovery to lower numbers to tell you the obviousness of the situation, FA or not. Then again, if near unlimited is falling under the "killing a couple baddies" or "+0, +1 groups" then ok I can see your side of it. At the same time, whats the point in building a good toon if you are going to be playing mediocre content. *shrugs*

    I don't. Don't really care.
  7. I wouldn't call 2.16 near unlimited. My Regen has a net of 3.5 and still drains in long fights. And your's is down to 1.93 with sprint on. That won't take much with your fairly fast Recharges to drain you out. Tossing a mircale in health vs. that Health IO would net you more Recovery and lose you about 2 Hp/sec regen. But yea, overall its a pretty good build man.
  8. On a sidenote, I know that Burns attributes says "Afraid" whereas the Invoke Panic and the other says "Terrorize" Then a spectral terror is "Fear" Granted they all fall under Mez, but do they all react the same way? I notice burn makes them run, period, which would make sense for the Burn affect and them running. I remember using the panic thing on a Lvl 1 group once and even THEY ran even after a short few seconds. Don't have the spec terror on my ill/rad yet, will let you know. Just thought I would point out the different Mez types (even if they fall all under fear) that come from said powers.
  9. You know ever since the Fear was put into things like burn, I could not stand it. It just pisses me off worse than that other thread talking about runners as is, let alone a fear power that is subpar that FORCES the baddies to get away from you. I am all about provoke though, grab that definitely if you are trying to get some taunt down. I mean for a concept, ok, but to purposely grab a power for a conceptual reason when the power in itself is subpar (this is my personal opinion, though so please do not lash out at me). Now the combo of fear powers might be ok, but just my experience feels like its semi useless. Fear is what you want? Make an illusion troller. Cheers and good luck.

    Why do you think they run less? Invincibility? What would be the case against Demons that have the same power? Oddly enough it feels like a conundrum.
  11. Take Provoke. Bump your Dam output.

    The real thing is though is that scrappers won't ever be taunting like Tankers, and they shouldn't. At this point in the lifeline of CoX (IE Uber toons) scrappers can do just about anything and without completing making the Tanker a dying breed, scrappys should be the all out machines they are, minus the taunt. Dev's wouldn't boost one AT that would single handedly scrap another (no pun intended) I do not like the run aways either, but if they are running then there is a reason At the end of the day tanks need to take damage and aggro. Scrappers need to eliminate the threat and are very efficent at doing so. But with hanced Provoke plus the AOE's in a spines, you should be able to do just fine, or at least untill a Tank taunts then you are SOL...
  12. ^^ this

    My spine elec has the same problem, but build up some nice Dam bonuses I'm sure it won't happen...I get some runners on my Regen too, but use impale or ripper like stated before...also, when you get Throw spines you will notice that A LOT less...
  13. Spine/Regen, Spine/Elec and Spine/WP are what I use...I also have a Spine/Dark but its on a deac acct. I mean, ill be honest, I have up and back raced other people in the Jamison office park (Demon Farm) on both sides and won't lose. My Aoe's are just done status...BU>SB>TS>SB +1's are dead. +2's 80% you get the idea...I breeze through the most with my Regen though especially if no bosses, taking the Alpha is cake status and Mog is up like every other group if I feel like bosses, in that case Ill do all the same but add ripper targeting him...also he has sets, the other 3 are just IOed

    Just an opinion...
  14. Thats how I was. I was completely obssessed with hitting 200 hp regen with IH, or 100 with just DP and Int...but after I realized by getting very close, only about 20 hp off that..I was gimping myself in certain places..it is fun though I admit...but on the reversal, I added 10% def, and a lot of rech to sacrifice like 15-20 hp...Im for it now.
  15. Well it would also depend on your usage. Post a build.
  16. Nice, Perma haste. So are we talking here do not even take EC? Also American, I was just curious, how is your survival? My build and your build are really close, only diff is I have more Def, but you have more Rech. I just wanna know how you stack up. Those Challenges and Av solos were on this MA/SR? Oh and how often do you use Aid Self?
  17. I purposely left this discussion unattended to give my new folks some time to build their new spiners. With that said, I am now 4 Spines strong. (50 Spine/Regen 50 Spine/Wp 42 Spine/Elec 30 Spine/Nin) SO with that said, I would like to bring this topic back up and make an official time weekly to run a designated task force (TF and TIME to be announced). The days will be Sunday to avoid any clash between some more prominent SG weekend events. Times will be determined on our turnouts and this sunday I welcome all of you to join me. I will be on all day sunday so if you have a spiner feel free to drop me a line and inquire. As usual I will be posting on Libertys Channel "LB" and "Liberty TF's" for these. My hopes is that we can do every TF in the game. (LGTF may be excluded due to an already failed attempt (although can be done with nukes and shivs)its not commonplace to have these on hand.(can possibly do a prep to get both prior to this, will be announced)). My global is @Possible and I am always in "LB" and never hidden. Drop me a line in here (always on here at work during the days EST). Thanks friends and I hope that you all have had fun leveling your glorious scrappers.

    First of many...

    Nice. I have been around going on 4 years and prior to the CoH/CoV merge I was not participated in anything CoV and/or Supergroup/bases. I also had the 'Liberty' to team with you GEL and it was a good time. (ITF) Mo attempt (We got it later). It was a pleasure to team with you and with my recent return to the game after a long time find my long time friends the Crimson Order (great group) back on there vents a lot. Look forward to a new era of gaming and new content with you folks. Great interview Tax.
  19. oh it is...ITF, all 3 respecs (smh, a joke at best) Manticore, LGTF (Uncompleted) and Moonfire...

    Very fun

    First Server

    a RL friend had some 50's on Champion around I3...I made a toon over there got him to level 2 and he quit playing.
