Yes, a fire/rad would deal more than a sonic/rad would. However, that is talking in a solo situation. If he plans on teaming a lot (which would make ST less effective) then sonic blast would make them team as a whole do more damage than if he were fire.

I doubt it's the best (but really, that comes down to preference) but I like the idea of a fire/traps and an ice/traps. Just about nothing will be resistant to both, and double traps just sounds like easy mode.

No you don't.

Mids says 1900% regen. So close, but no ciggy.

EDIT: Mids says 1900 regen on rest.

But I still want a fire/dark with current fluffy
Take him villain and be some sort of demonic....thing.

That, combined with shadow fall would create a HUGE amount of psuedo defense for them. I realize that dark already has a bit of that, but since fluffy can't be told where to go, controlling who gets that debuff isn't as easy as a chill of the night port would be. Fire/darks could afk in melee with TG on auto on boss and come back with everything dead and the player at full.

That formula sounds right (haven't checked it myself, but looks about there) but your statement here is a little too hopeful. See, softcapped def and capped res happen rather easily in some way shape or form, but capped regen is VERY rare, and I'm rather certain that even an IH popped AB boosted regen scrapper won't be hitting the regen cap. I'd wiki it, but I have other posts to skim through and only a few minutes to stay on right now.

Isn't going Leeroy part of the tutorial for scrappers?

The problem with that, is that DPS will work on regen and resistance, but on def, number of attacks plays a role as well. And even with LT and mins, the initial alpha from them will hurt the regen character quite a bit. There simply is no direct comparison. And besides, def and resistance both reduce damage, and so the formula for them is multiplying by a decimal to find damage taken, but regen is subtractive, so comparing them would be impossible.

To put that last statement into numbers:

Defense character: 45% defense, so 5% of attacks are hitting, multiply 100% incomming damage by .05 and you get your dps dealt to you.

Resistance character: 90% of incomming dps is negated, so multiply by .1 to find dps dealt to you.

Regen character: You heal say, 75 hp/s, so subtract that from the dps being thrown at you. If said dps is above 75 hp/s, then you will slowly (or quickly, depending on how much higher) be defeated. If said dps is lower than 75 hp/s you will stay relatively close to 100% health at all times.

So regen is a static reduction. Now lets look at this.

Defense character is rolled against 100 points of damage through 10 attacks form surrounding enemies at 10 points of dmg a piece (scenario 1). Say 30% defense, he takes 2 of the attacks and 20 dmg. Now 1000 points of damage from said 10 enemies in 10 attacks (scenario 2). He takes 2 again for 200 dmg. He still negates 80% total.

Resistance character has 50% res, takes scenario 1. He gets 5 hits and 25 pts dmg. Now same character takes scenario 2, and 250 pts, still 50% negated (using 50% tohit of enemies).

Now regen takes scenario 1. He takes half the hits, so 50 incoming damage, and heals it up, he is A.OK. Now he takes scenario 2 and 500 pts of damage, still the same 75hp/s regened, even though damage attempted to be dealt is way higher.

But that angle of deflection is based on the angle of your character and your target only. Ranged AoE KB powers are not radial in their KB, they all go away from your player. So if you are directly above your target, then the KB is knocking them to the ground right below their feet. If you try even a little bit to get above them, the angle will be negligible, and as someone else said, your a blaster, shoot from range.


Have you tried it post i19? It goes a LOT faster than it previously did. And as for people with cj/hurdle, or ss, so what? You don't need THE first hit to be effective, and if you really feel the need to be there first, leave the previous spawn when there's just a few enemies left.

Silverado, I think that's your que.

Psuedo KD. Best thing to happen to my RL firend's en/en blaster.

And since it debufss toxic resistance double the amount of other damage types, it will get a higher return from its own debuff than frag and supression.

Keep in mind that is with equal enhancement values as well. Most scrappers will ED cap their damage slotting, while a lot of brutes rely on fury to boost damage, and use enhancements for endurance and recharge to create that endless flurry of attacks, thus keeping fury. So assuming equal enhancements is not really the best way to go about that math.

Thanks, that sums up what I wanted to hear rather nicely. Think I'll try out a /cold troller now, just gotta find a primary I want.

The first sentence here is right, but the rest is not. You described the old fiery embrace. It isn't a damage buff in the sense most people are used to, but instead it adds fire damage to each attack. I'm not certain on the exact numbers, but I'll give an example.

Let's say my footstomp does 200pts of smashing dmg. I hit FE and now my footstomp does 200 pts of smashing damage, and 100 pts of fire damage as well.

It will not show up as a % damage buff, because it isn't buffing the base damage, it is adding a second damage component. Think of it as having a "chance of fire damage" proc that has a 100% chance of going off on each attack for the duration of FE.
