Wow, this is amazing...Noone can help me with a final buid? Is Rad/Kin that unpopular for a team only AT?

I am not good with numbers. But I run a Ss/Invuln as my main farming build. I can run the wall in Cim pretty much without stopping except when Weave drains my end. Invuln is an awsome set, not as good as Wp or Sr, but when you can click heal for over 1k, you realy cant beat it. Its a very tough set, I farm Lib and 54 lvl boss farms in AE for my VG. Sure, I eat Endurance for a snack, but since you have Dm/ you sholdnt be bothered with that too much.
Sory I cant post numbers or a build for you (Lost my mids build somehow), but its pretty straight forward of a secondary. stay away from Unstopable tho, I dont care what anyone says, the crash from that IS a killer if you arent out of combat...No matter what I tried with that power, greens and blues wont help during combat when that drops, so I respeced out of it.
Anyway, Good luck with Invuln, its a very fun set and you will live almost as much with SO's as a IOed out Wp (trust me, watched my buddies Ss/Wp die a few times horrible deaths while I clung on to life and died shortly afterwards MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa But with Dm you have an extra heal and you definately want to slot Stam Big time if your going to take weave.
Thats my 2inf worth. Enjoy

LOL Well JupiterMoon, I just finished yoru Arc. It wasnt bad. It definately made me cringe once I cleared the map and ran over it again only to discover that there is an AV in it. How do I post pics? Pics or it didnt happen is the thing right? I soloed Evil Statesman and only used 6 greens on my Ss/Invuln Brute. Granted, yor helpers did help alot. How do I post pics? I got probably abotu 10 or more I can post if I only knew how.

Hi there. I am looking for some sort of guide on what mishs to take for Oro Flashbacks to work on accolades Red Side.

thanks JupiterMoon

JupiterMoon, What is the number for that Arc your talking about?

hey all. I got on a KICK [censored] team this morning and made 45. I plan on some respec TF's tonight with my VG. Can someone help me with a final build?

I dont expect to solo with it at all. I will be running TF's and as a back up kin on farms. Hoping the build will have usability on a Cap run as well, which means hover/fly and stealth and summon team.

Please can someone help me with this? I SUCK at making builds and aside form my Dm/Sr brute this is the last toon I will be working on for quite some time.

If possible, I would like to keep it at SO's and maybe a couple of cheap IO sets as I will be putting most if not all my Inf, tickets and future Merits away for a project I am currently working on with a different special (DE DE DEE) toon.

Thank you in advance for any and all help guys/gals

LOL Thanks for the info Powerforge. I have been playing my Dm/Sr Brute and just got off Shadowmaul + Sands of Mu on 6 dock workers (Strikebuster badge) and that was the most beautiful thing to watch (Better than my thug MM actualy which has been gutted and shelved until the day comes when MM's become Gods ya right)
I think I am going to stick with my brute, the damage isnt scrapper lvls, but it sure is fun.
BTW I made a Fire/Rad Controller, and I have to say this about it...HOLY FIRE/RAD Batman!!!!! So once I reroll him into a good name and costume he will be the one for Rogue hehe.


Thanks for all your help guys. But like I said, I have decided to keep my Dm/Sr Brute because I can atleast farm for Io's redside with my farming brute and the group that I normaly farm Lib with.

Thanks again folks and have a great night...heading off to bed.

Whats realy nice is Shadow Maul and Sands of Mu together in the chain. I just did it on strikebuster badge mish and caught 6 Dock workers in the mayhem...Aaaaaahhhhh the beauty of all those orange numbers

Ok Powerforge, after watching your amazing videos, Hella Congo Ratz BTW on all those AV's, I have a couple of questions for you;

Claws/Regen

Claws/Sr

Dm/Sd

Obviously, the Claws/Sr and Claws/Regen would be cheaper to soft cap correct? Is Dm/Sd realy that costly to soft cap to do what you were doing in the videos with October? Or if I decided to go with Dm/Sd would I be better off on Red side where I have the resources to pay fr the IO's for it?
If it would be cheaper for me in the long run to stay as a Brute because of current resources that I have red side, shold I just make the Dm/Sd Brute then?
Would my Dm/Sr Brute who is currently 25 work decently to the point that I should just stick with him and just farm more Inf for the cost of IO's?

Heh, sory with all the questions, as I just woke up and the servers are down for Maintenance and I am still working on my first cup of coffee trolling all the boards.

If you think it would be more cost effective to just stay Red Side with a Dm/Sd Brute or my Dm/Sr I will....Then I will have to make my Fire/Rad Troller to bring over for Rogue (Obviously there is no hurry in lvling it just yet hehe, thats why all the questions and trial and error on my part...I got some time to play with yet)

No, I had vista, but now have xp.

I did a full reformat

And I will go buy a wired mouse and give it a shot...Heck, if it dont work, I am sure I can return it saying that its defective or something hehe.

Ok...Narrowed down alot...

Primaries;

Claws/

Fire/

Dm/

Secondaries;

/Regen

/Sr

/Sd


Which fit better for a low budget growing build, and for a first time Scrapper?

Cool, Thanks for the info guys. I will definately keep all these indeas rolling around as I start making my scrapper this weekend, and trying several out. I can usualy tell if I am going to like it by DO lvl. I still have yet to utilize AE (Tried it a couple of times and dont like the fact I dont get drops), but I just might with my scrapper. Thanks again, and anymore options that anyone else has, please keep pouring them in here for me to consider.
BTW, I do like Dm. I have a Brute with Dm/Sr and he is running furiously. I got Stam, but even at lvl 25, with only 3 attacks + Brawl + Air Sup on occasion, I never have to use blues, even in an 8man paper spawn with me being the only melee (Stalkers dont count, they suck anyway hehe). The only problem I run into with him, is the need for health, guess I shold throw a couple of slots into it hehe.

Sooo.....Anything/Anything Scrapper = pwn?

Hi there.
I primarily play Red Side.
I PvP on occasion.
I DO like to farm Non AE, namely Lib.
I WOULD like to solo AV's.
I do Solo alot, but not afraid of teaming sometimes.

Playing almost strictly melee characters and knowing Rogue is comming eventualy, I want to build a Scrapper with these things in mind.

So, I come to the Scrapper boards looking for some help.

When it comes to farming, from what I have read, Spines wins out, but is kinda lack luster for things like soloing AV's and PvP.

Obviously, it will have to be a low budget build for now, so it needs to be reliably survivable for a cheap price, and sustain a high enough DPS for atleast most of what I am looking for.

The part about the AV killing isnt to terribly important, and neither is the PvP, but it WOULD be nice...

Thinking on what I just wrote, I am leaning towards Spines or Claws, though Claws isnt great at Farming solo. But as I said, farming is terribly important.

I am very flexable when it comes to my concept as you can tell. St or AoE or even Cone, I realy dont care as long as it can out damage a Brute without Fury (Gods I hate fury, realy annoying trying to kep that stupid thing above 50%).

I would prefer something that I can use with some of the unlockable weapons, specificaly the Rularuu wepaons as it would fit my concept better, but Spines can fit just as easy.

Martial Arts...Well, come to think of it, that would be completely out of the question for my concept.

So...Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure, but its working fine now...wierd

So, am I going to want to replace Shadow Maul with a PP attack of some sort that will help with fury?

Oh hehe Yes, I even had toe NC support help with drivers

O Cockadoodie!!!!! hehe Couldnt think of a decent enough word to put there that wouldnt get me in trouble...Ya know Phos, for both my recent toons, your the best resource for any and all info, the Axe/Wp and now this...I just noticed your sig has the Dm/Sr which is what I am running LOL

Okie dokie. /Sr is one I didnt even consider and have never tried before. I will give it a shot tonight and see where it takes me. Thanks Besser, it looks pretty solid in Mid's, combined with Dm/ I think it just might be a winner.

I am using an Acer Lap top. I use a NX wireless mouse.
Since starting to play the game over a year ago, Sometimes I would auto run without touching any keys, My mouse jumps randomly around the screen, while typing, sometimes it will just automaticaly erase everything I have written (In game and out of game) or will randomly jump to a different part of what I am typing and finish typing what I was typing someplace else....Its getting REALY annoying especialy on a TF when I am giving instructions or just chatting and I begin auto running into a large spawn or something similar. I have used Norton online anit virus, McAffee, adaware spybot S&D and AVG and also microsoft malicious software removal...Nothing seems to be found anywhere. It seems this problem began when I over wrote Vista with XP Professional. last year...So, any advice?

Even tho I dont use this particular combination, tho I would like to;
Baggy Shirt, Sinister, with the magic Pack cape, only shows part of the cape, from the shoulders down to the bottom. No collar and shoulders to the cape at all.

hrmm...After reading a bit about /Ea, that doesnt sound too bad. Pretty solid in def and res, plus a +regen and +recovery clicky...I AM SO CONFUSED!!!!

Looking at /Fa in Mid's...Man, that realy looks squishy. But I think I could take my res IO's from my Bane and use them since thats all Fa is is Resists...Would be a major pain getting up to 30+ before I can use them tho (Most of my IO's on my Bane are 30+.
So, from what I am gathering from you guys responses, is /Wp sucks with Dm huh? Not one person promoted it.
/Sd seems realy end hungry from looking at Mid's, but it too is a resist set it looks like.
Well, can somone tell me what would be the absolutel best secondary for a Brute with Dm as the primary then?
I do like the effects of /Sd, but I remember a friend of mine and all his frustration he had post 50 with it and how squishy he was. Man, he realy hated that secondary, and he was even a Ss. But all he did was die...LOL I have even seen Cor's live longer than he did come to think of it. I think because of watching how frustrated he was with Ss/Sd is why I have absolutely shied away from using /Sd. Once he rolled into a Ss/Wp, the tide turned drasticaly, and he almost never dies now, unless someone on the team screws up and he dies saving them...
Ok, So......Which is the most solid and non squishy, cheapest to soft cap and most destructive (Not to myself mind you hehe) out of all the Brute Secondaries?

Well, after some trial and error, watching videos of some people with their toons, and goofing with Mid's, I have boiled my next Brute down to one primary; Dm/
Now, I have also boiled down my secondaries to /Wp and /Sd
Oddly enough, some of the videos of Dm/ I have seen the person basicaly farming pretty quickly, Though it WAS a Scrapper fighting an AV and herding mobs around him for the heals. Same principles as farming; you gather everything as close as possible, and use your 1 or 2 AoE's.
So, with this, what would be better at survival and helping Dm/ out?
I know it can be done. If a silly Scrapper can do it, why not a Massive Brute? Dm/ can build fury decently if not quickly. It has mitigation in the -to hit debuff. It has a heal. It has a End boost...Pretty much everything someone could ask for for farming, pvping and pretty much everything else that you confront.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
