I have the thorn blade that I sport with a spiked targe and the talsorian sword with a tech shield. I didn't want to farm another 100 merits for the talsorian shield as I really want the rularuu wep/shield.

Too bad you aren't on Virtue. A mothership raid every monday and sunday. One run will get you well over 100. And shadow shard TFs are ran often.

Sounds deadly and end draining. But that's what consume is for. Go and hack and slice in a fire aura of glory!

personally, what i'd like to see...

combine OG and CoF into one power, make soul transfer the tier 8 power, and give DA a "REAL" TIER 9 power that doesnt require you to DIE first, like "Living Shadow" or som'thin, maybe where you become untouchable for a limited amount of time but still able to attack, being in untouchable i'd say a very minimal time frame like MoG, but make that the current cloak of darkness grafix and change the CoD to something where every DA isn't just a dust ball... but i'm open to other thoughts for a real tier 9 for DA, i just think the Living Shadow thing just fits it soo well both thematically and power based-wise

And make instant healing a toggle again while they're at it. [/sarcasm]
I'd ask for something a little more realistic like shadow meld in darkness mastery.

I asked this same question about healing flames. The reason its not working is because you can slot that paower for resistance (toxic). And the heal bonuses won't work on powers that be slotted for resistance. Look for the thread on this board called "question about healing flames". Someone explains it in detail. But it works in dull pain.

Never realized there were so few Katana's compared to Broadswords. Hope they get around to evening that out.. I would really like a Nictus katana

Quality over quantity. Half of those swords they can keep. (I'm looking at you, Tsoo katana) I want Scirocco's sword!

[edit: Okay, I'm also a bit tired of the Air Sup animation that Cremate uses - but that's a more global problem. :P]

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed. It should have been a fire sword attack that uses the Hack animation.

[/ QUOTE ]

Then it would have to deal lethal instead of smashing dmg. I like fact that the set can do 3 different dmg types. Or would you rather them bring in combustion? *shivers*

I think an cone arc fire sword attack would be a good replacement for breath of fire. "Fire Slice", I like it!

I have this obsession with hitting the HP cap with all my WP alts (not much luck with the brutes though). I normaly 6 slot HPT with 3 numinas and 3 titanium coatings. 4 slot MOB with 3 titaniums and one res/def IO. IW with lotg. You get the idea. The only place I end up hurting at is no soft cap def. But I hardly have any survival issues. Haven't tried AV soloing, though.

I am actually doing this arc right now with my Kat\WP on Unyielding. The Rad Cans were the first mob group that actually humbled me and gave me my first defeat in 41 level .

I jumped into a spawn of 2 +3 minions and 2 +3 (purple) Lieuts and promptly got my [censored] handed to me. I think once I start seeing the AV’s I might town it down a bit.

[/ QUOTE ]

The AVs will be EB on unyeilding unless you add more people to your team. I think a team of 3 or 4 will make them AV on unyeilding.

Tina's, arc is a rite of passage. It gets you from 40 to 45 on unyeilding.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry, but I can think of a dozen better ways to get from 40-45 that are not only faster but considerably less annoying. The only reason to ever run this arc on a second character is for the accolade.

[ QUOTE ]
And how can you forget the crazed mish?

[/ QUOTE ]

The guys that dish out psi damage like it was candy? Most my scrappers are Dark Armor and Will Power...they laugh at Psi damage.

[ QUOTE ]
The only mish I hate is the one you have to defeat all those clockwork prince robots in the psi clockwork world. Its just too annoying. I sometimes drop it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Again, mostly Psi damage, so not an issue. The Cannon Princes are pretty much all you have to look for.

It's the numerous defeat all rad blasting blue cans that annoy the heck out of me.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's why I say its a rite of passage. Its not meant to be easy street. And the Crazed don't have psi dmg. They have S/L. You are thinking about maliase and mother mayham's group. They are not the same. And the rad blasting blue cans are annoying to any set weak to nrg and def debuffs. Just gotta learn to move around. but the psi clockwork mish is big and you have a lot of connon prince on the map. You say it like its 5 or 6. Add that with the other long annoying mish it just becomes bleh. Hence the reason for dropping that particular mission most of the times. The blue cans force you play in a way you normaly don't play. Big deal. That's why you get more merits from that story arc then other in the game. Of course there easier ways to get to 45. I never said it was the only way.

Drop the fitness pool and resilience for now. Some argue that you don't need the fitness pool at all. I'm not one of those people. You just don't need it right now as far as whole getting stamina at level 20 and having it 3 slotted to be ready for SOs at 22 song and dance go. You should get recon and dull pain the moment they become open. Greens over recon? It should be greens and recon. Greens run out. Recon recharges. You can take resilience even later. Its cool to be able to use a wakie and not be stunned by it but as long as you have integration, you won't really need it in normal game play. And if you take it later, you don't need to put any slots in it. The res % is laughable but good place to put the res/def IO.

All these different topics about /DA have me thinking about giving the set another try on a scrapper. With my stalker, I didn't take the mezz toggles so I relied on the res toggles and shadow dweller. Shadow dweller has about as much def as combat jumping. So basicly I was screwed vs Rikti and other nrg heavy foes.(I owned carnies though) they say third time the charm and know a lot more now then I did then so I just might.

Ok..... I need a drink before I start..... Ok, now that I've calmed down, I'm going to ask one question. Why don't you have reconstruction and dull pain? I'm surprised you got to 25. I give you props for getting that far. I got to 14 without dull pain before I deleted my dark/regen and started all over. But yeah. You NEED those two click powers. They will be your best friends till the end. Cascading def, lucky shots, burst dmg. None of that matters when you have two powers that give it all back. Just watch out for rads, cold dom corruptors, and poison MMs if you ever pvp are run someone's sick a twisted /regen hatin AE story arc.

Tina's, arc is a rite of passage. It gets you from 40 to 45 on unyeilding. And how can you forget the crazed mish? The only mish I hate is the one you have to defeat all those clockwork prince robots in the psi clockwork world. Its just too annoying. I sometimes drop it.

Enough already. First it was /WP vs /regen. Now it /WP vs /invul. I don't believe that any of the sets are better then other. They just do certain things better and you have to play each differently. I seen people play /invul, /SD, /SR, /DA, and /fire that made made say "wow". I've caused "wow on /regen and /WP (I'm still working at it with /fire and /invul). On the same note, I've seen some people bring shame to those sets. You shouldn't worry about what one set can't do. Worry about what it can do and make do it so well that the stuff it can't do won't matter. If you still want to argue about it, I say yall copy your respected scrappers to test and take it to arena and box it out. The last one standing gets to say their set is better.

As they say, "pics or it didn't happen." I won't argue this issue until I get one. So I'm wrong... For now.

Actually, maria has a random non arc mish that has anti matter. I remember saying to myself the moment I do things in order so I get antimatter, I ended up facing him 3 times. This isn't including the times he teleports douring the tina story arc. The problem is, sometimes maria won't give you more missions after tyrant. I don't know what triggers that.

If you replace the 3 end mod IOs in stamina with performance shifters end mod, end mod/end, and end mod/acc, you will get the same recovery rate along with a speed bonus and HP bonus. The rec bonus will bring you back to what the actual end mod IOs took away.

Yup!! That's the one.

Slotting battle agility for defense increases your def debuff resistances.

Slotting Grant Cover for defense increases your def debuff resistance.

I wonder why this isn't the same for tough hide. Or did I miss it.

Considering when nukes fire off and take 100% of your end and not 100 points of endurence and all of the other tier 9s that crash take it all even if you have bonuses and accolades, its a safe bet to say its 60% from the total. But that's cool if you have more then the normal 100 points of endurance because you will still be left with more then 40 points of end.

[ QUOTE ]

Some primaries look realy cool in mid air combat, others I wasn't so thrilled about. DM, Spines, and Claws all look very cool. Dual Blades looks cool in mid-air but I found lineing up AoEs and Cones to be more difficult. I tried but did not like BS or MA in mid-air, purely for aesthetic reasons.

[/ QUOTE ]

Air sup and cremate ftw!! Anyone got a pic or a vid on it?

Take hurdle and call it a day. Or hasten if you don't have it already. And there isn't a law that says you can't have two travel powers.

Hover is the bomb now. I wish there was an emote you can use to hover with your arms folded like you do after you cast soul strom with a stalker or corr. (And they say heroes get all the good stuff)

[ QUOTE ]
The problem with sticking an aura on a weapon is it's sticking another layer on something that is already a layer (or so I hear). And the only reason Romulus Nictus sword has an aura is because it's just reusing the model from Romulus. Like a lot of Custom Weapons.

[/ QUOTE ]

That same idea could be used for other weapons. When someone picks a weapon, they could have a drop box asking what type with selections of that same weapon with different aura effects on it. Thus reusing an existing model. It doesn't have to be an option from the aura box because, as you said, adding a layer on a layer.
