Rooks does this, then the leader of the reborn said 'Stop jumping around like your playing Battlefield 2' only with about 30 F******* thrown in

Congrats, you crazy dudes!

Now wondering if SS/DA is going to be the new FOTM...

[/ QUOTE ]


not really..fury is also about getting hit..high res is better then defence/fear in that case ..and well invul and GA are just better for that

[/ QUOTE ]

Only you wouldnt post Grats on a 50 thread

And it was a personal joke Rooks made a stone tank back when everything else was at the resistance cap now everyone has stonies, and he made a Claws/SR before it was apparent they were both getting buffed

[/ QUOTE ]

YAY ME!!!!!!

Well if you do put theTorment, SS/DA/Mu on there, along with Total Inertia, Ice/Kin/Mu, as we dinged about 15 minutes ago

YAY US!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!!!

Are villains counted on this?

So there with theTorment, lvl 47 atm but should be 50 in time.

Hah, my Claws/SR (actually on LNs account but ) was created because I was bored with regen and like the anims for claws that came with i7.

[/ QUOTE ]

...And because everyone is a fan of me




No, wait, come back. . .

Another one? I must be so popular. . .

I'm quite the trendsetter, it seems

P.S. Aid Self for teh Earleh

Go teh Claws/SR trend!

I'm claiming this one btw, as soon as I made Vigilant, everyone's been going on about their proposed Claws/SR, after Ji called it 'The most gimped Scrapper, ever'. Me ftw! ^^

*Now, to make my Archery/Fire Blaster the next Fotm.....*

in pve u can defeat most minions in 3 attacks, only downside is when you come to those +4 bosses and your seperated from your team. this is why i would only ever pick claws with regen coz it has the survivability to allow you to actually stay in a fight longer to get that prolonged damage that claws have. were as with SR you wouldnt wana be standin toe to toe with a +4 boss for that long


[/ QUOTE ]

ZOMG PREJUDICE! Claws/SR ftw!

My Claws/SR scrapper could easily handle the majority of +3 bosses on his own, no buffs (I solo alot), pre-i7, and after having some PI fun on test @ level 39, I was herding +5 Rikti (including bosses, and +7s & +8s with Elude up) with little or no problem, so quit teh prejudice, /SR is damned good, you just have to know how to use it

P.S. Aid Self ftw btw

Rage though, isn't it




. . . . isn't it?



Meh, I like it

Count Rooks in

Count me in.

I said RECHARGES in Follow Up, not Follow Up itself...didn't I?

Seconded

Got some nice powers in there, however don't expect to be able to do that much before having to rest (about twice per one man mob sounds about right ), and considering teh Übahness of /SR in i7, you'll probably be fighting +2s and above in missions, so I would try to fit 2 accuracies in your attacks. Also, with Quickness, recharges in Follow Up aren't that imperative (in my opinion, may work though), as its pretty much perma without any, and I would think that spamming it too much would cut into your attack chain (not sure, just what I think), and maybe these slots could be better placed (more accuracies or maybe selling them to Lord Recluse for end ).


LIKE the early aid self though

EDIT: Also, Swipe is pretty cool

P.S. I'm also claiming this influx of Claws/SR scrappers to be due to my general immenseness, just so that everyone is up to speed.

I dunno, in the wake of i7 and the nerf of toggle dropping, I'm beginning to believe we may actually see some proper Blasters who primarily deal in their primary powerset on the streets of Paragon. I know it sounds silly but...

[/ QUOTE ]

Edited due to the pedanticity of teh forumites

Well if you're that hellbent on being a rock tank (make one ), then the only option you have is to lose Hasten and Super Speed to get Teleport. The loss of hasten for a primarily GA Brute is a hard blow (...I think ), but not nearly as hard as the massive loss of maneuverability caused by the abcense of TP, even if your only way of grabbing agro is Mudpots, I'd rather have just that than a lacking ability to get those annoying spread out mobs to hit me, how are you supposed to tank when the mobs have to come to you?

Also its not just the -speed its the -jump. A very large spawn (worthy of such a tankish GA Brute */em flatter*), is a mission in itself just to get into the melee range of the other side, which is where TP comes in...whoosh, and you're there...huurah!

Like Practised Brawling? *confussled a little*

Also playing without Rooted or GA on for me is really annoying, Rooks no like Knockback
But that's just me...

jump into the fray

[/ QUOTE ]

erm...I guess you mean that metaphorically?

Also I meant punchvoke also to mean Footstomp+Mud Pots, they attract agro by things that arent directly 'Taunt', i.e. Taunt + such , but still, grouping spread out mobs would be quite alot harder with no TP (try walking through a sea of mobs to save that squishy in the distance...not so easy )

Problem would be those more eager than to wait for you to baywatch (yes, that is now a verb ) into a mob + lock them all down, rushing in all guns blazing, which imo is good, makes tanking a little bit more of a challenge

[/digress]

Well, If you plan on being a villainous tank, without TP, don't plan on being that good.

Sure, you can take damage which would wipe a team of 20 outright, but how are you supposed to punchvoke the enemy into attacking you? the most likely outcome will be multiple team wipes with you left as the only one standing, and generally being the envy of the rest of your team, and not in a good way


Exaggeration I know, but meh....

Basically your ability to control and maintain agro is severely hindered by a lack of TP (thinking when everyone gets spread out, which happens all too often ), not impossible, just unnecessarily harder...

EDIT: Also I'm all for going for teh unstoppable invulnerable hulking piece of granite (w00t, ironic pun ), but I think Fighting AND Medicine is a little OTT, but thats just my point of view....

Da dee dum...

I stand corrected

(was looking at health @ lvl 40 whateveritwas)

tbh, I don't see much point in Hurdle... I know it boosted the maneuverability of SS but I would think that presidence should be taken with health... Regen/Stone tanks ftw

To be honest I think that you can switch Super Speed out, for Teleport Foe/Recall Friend and switch Weave for Teleport. I think as a Rock Brute you will get alot more use out of the mobility offered by Teleport than that of just swift and prayer, and I think that Weave ins't that great anymore anyway.

But hell, what do I know, I'm just a silly Stone Tank whose so stupid as to actually use the other armours when possible....I know, the cheek

P.S. I'm so good at slotting that in to any remotely Stone Armour related posts...aren't I?

EDIT: I can't read...../e cry
