Sunday July 19th, 7 PM EST. All Scrapper STF on Test.

1. Sergei DM/SR
2. Rieze (not sure on character yet)
3. Celeste Cat Kat/Inv
4. Ozmeth (not sure which character)
5. Hejtmane (not sure which character)
6.
7.
8.

Having more than 8 is good, real life often rears its head and causes a few no shows.

If people are interested, I can invite people to our TS server for voice chatty goodness. Lurking is normal if you are mic-less, everyone (especially me) enjoys the sound of my voice, just ask me. I'll tell you.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am going to bring melted cooper fire/sd again since he has the best damage output and my dm/sr is not ready and my katana/sr would have no issues either just can not help it fire fire

Thus I can give you guys some more maneuvers + assault and grant cover

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm going to respec in manuvers, assault, and tactics for this one. So many smoke bombs and plactes and toxic dmg and slows and -rech and end drain and *counting...* 16 different AVs!

I decided on my DM/regen. The problem is that it isn't outfitted for this TF as far as it being all scrappers. Will someone in the SG be able to log on to test today around 7 central and invite some of my alts in so I properly build this alt for the madness we are about to try sunday?

Thanks for the great info guys.
Any slotting suggestions? I don't have much inf so I'm only using IO's at this time. The toon I'm looking at for this is a lvl 42 DB/WP.

I want to start looking at sets but they're just so frakin' expensive! )

[/ QUOTE ]

How deep into the pool are you going to go? For assault, all you need is 1-2 end reductions. Manuvers, 2-6 of the desired def sets. Tactics, is a total toss up of 2-6. Veng is a tricky one. I'm not sure how I'd slot veng on a scrapper. If I ever had the power options to go that far, I think I would just leave it as one with a lotg recharge speed in it. On my defender its 4 slotted with 3 def and one tohit buff.

[ QUOTE ]
What about slotting Kick with 4 Kinetic Crash IOs? You get 3 points of KNB resistance and you get 2.5% S/L resistance to stack with Tough and your shields.

I am looking at doing this and adding one KNB IO on my own Dark Scrapper.

[/ QUOTE ]

I won't sign on the use of set mules. Unless you actually plan on using kick and taking it early and placing low level versions of that set in. If so, then yes. That and two more KB protection IOs and you are good to go. I would also like to add that taking the lowest level KB protection IOs and slotting them on early powers is best. That way, you have the protection when exemped.

I go for 3. Acrobatics has 9 points and most sets with KB protection have 10 points. 2 KB protection IOs will give you 8 points and 3 will give you 12. I've been tossed with acrobatics so I did a respec to get 3 KB protection IOs and now, no more tossing. Except in pvp. That's easy to handle, though. Just dont go there with that alt.

What about dueling a wp/ss tank, would I stand a chance and be able to bring them down?

[/ QUOTE ]

That will come down to has the better end management. I had a duel with a DB/WP brute once playing with my BS/regen. It took forever. Both of our end bars were almost done and the health bars were almost full. But their SOW crashed and I hit conserve power and wrapped things up from there.

I think that duel would come down to the same thing. Unless they have perma rage. Then it would get interesting. Just keep your parry stacked.

Btw. You will NEED conserve power with that build. At least two slotted. I may be pro foc acc but I can't deny that it is costly. Your end bar won't last long with all them toggles.

DM/regen. You'll have fun fun fun on a non stop slug fest. Even more so now that siphon life is a good attack instead of just a target heal.

That was funny.

Still, so long as we are going to discuss it, we might as well say how we feel about it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, if that's the case, then nerf Parry/Divine Avalanche and give Cobra Strike some more love.

[/ QUOTE ]

Blasphemy! *summons his BS/regen and BS/WP to the thread with swords drawn and build up on* Nobody touches Parry!

Maneuvers is helpful to a WP scrapper. Maneuvers and assault played a huge part in the all scrapper ITF this past sunday. I will not start another tactics vs FA debate so I won't speak on that.

This thread has made my choice for sunday real clear. I'm bringing one of my regens to the all scrapper stf!!

Maybe he doesn't want to get shot by deer hunters.

Since when does wearing bright orange safety clothing prevent that?

[/ QUOTE ]

Lmao! Good point.

I need to stop watching Naruto. LOL

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, yes you do. Something about a ninja in orange has always bothered me... Kinda like an Electric Armor Stalker.

And of course they would get rid of fire sword circle. What yall fail to see is if they bring FM over, they will most likely bring FA over too.

I wouldnt drop rttc. its just not good to depend on it in wide open pvp areas like the pvp zones and the area maps on the arena. if you are sticking to cage matches, you are gold.

especially since the +regen of the Regen Tissue and Numina procs is increased by the +heal enhancement in the power itself

[/ QUOTE ]

Say wha? This is actually true? I saw that Mids was adjusting the proc numbers on my Claws/Regen but I thought it was an error, and went into the database to make the Uniques unenhanceable. I thought all procs were static bonuses...

[/ QUOTE ]

you even get more out of them when you put them in intergration or rttc. that is still odd workings to me.

In all honesty, I never thought of redraw as that much of a problem until I got my widow to 41 and picked up gloom then had to draw my claws to fire mental blast right after. The redraw from my BS/regen never bothered me. I think its more of an issue when you put in actual attacks that don't use a weapon followed by attacks with a weapon.

[ QUOTE ]
Amusingly, a number of us had Mystic Fortune, but we were in such scrapperlock that we never paused once to use it. Or at least I didn't use mine and didn't see anyone use theirs. I thought about it occasionally, but everyone was always fighting, and I didn't want to interrupt.

No purples or really anything at all valuable here. Didn't check influence.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was playing around with casting it on everybody before we started. When we did start, I had forgotten all about it. Even when we had to regroup at romi. We were just that good!

I still picked up the letter. I forgot to mention it. I was too busy looking for mobs when we were clearing. If you haven't read it yet, go to paragon wiki and read up on the TF.

Like you, I started off playing as a /regen. My first and 2nd scrappers were /regen. I gave rolling scrappers a break until /wp came out. Going from /regen to /wp was like starting a video game on hard, beating it, then playing on easy. I still like /regen over /wp for its easy early game play. I hate the lag issues in dealing with the clicks. But every set is gonna have something about that ticks you off. It is true that /regen needs skill. But if you have skill, why would you care? As an altoholic, I say you should give /regen a rest as give the other sets a try. That way you have something to compare it to and make your own observation. Be warned. Having quick recovery that early spoils you to no end. Hang in there. Lol

I'm down with that. I'll have to figure out who to play with. I can't let the new alt have all the fun.

[ QUOTE ]
Looked like Electric Armor and Dark Armor at the same time there for a second too.

[/ QUOTE ]

That would make up for DAs nrg weakness lol. I couldn't find a better vid of Hiei's mix bag of powers. Check out some of links, the guy is sick. There is even one when he uses a def tier 9 that crashes.

[ QUOTE ]
I'd also like to see a 50% regeneration debuff resistance in Dull Pain, it would act like Reconstruction's Toxic resistance buff whenever clicked. It would last the duration of Dull Pain.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why in dull pain and not fast healing? It seems it would be a lot more helpful if was always on vs something you gotta recover from if you are hit with an attack that debuffs your regen before you hit dull pain.

It was on test so I didn't even bother to look at my inf. I did notice I got two red fortunes. I have have gotten more later but didn't think to look.

That was great! Lvl 53s went down like we had rads on the team. I've been on teams that pretty much called it quits when romi broke los leaving the healing nictus because the team couldn't out dmg the heal. Pure power! I luved it! Even with the lag deaths I got and that time I got hit 3 times in a row by a cyclops when my def was at 70%. That brings up another point. We had more team buffs going with 6 scrappers then I've seen on a few full teams with trollers and defenders. No shivans and no nukes were used. Some of us did have the wedding band going though. We need to do another all scrapper TF.

Im ready Im ready!! lets go to war!!

[ QUOTE ]
I would just like to point out that "Uber Scrapper" is completely redundant. Thank you.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed. But I couldn't think of anything else to call it.
