Hopefully there are a couple more people like me, and this ends up costing them money in the long run. But, I doubt it.

Never saw the post itself, assuming there is or was such a post. It's just what I heard.

If for some reason it IS still considered an exploit, and is still some day changed, I'll need to change my build. Builds requiring changes is par for the course in this game due to nerfs, buffs and new IOs. No biggie.

If the ninja pack just changed the animation of superspeed and superjump, I would be fine with that

Most of my experience in CoX has been with Blasters and Defenders, and I feel like it's time to put down the nukes and buffs for a little bit and strap on the boxing gloves. I've always really wanted to try a scrapper, but everytime I start one, I end up not liking them for some unknown reason. So, I thought I'd come and ask the forum gurus for some help picking out sets that would fit what I'm looking for.

And now, a list!

• My main desire is a soloing toon. I'm tired of needing teammates to soak up damage or deal it, since I sometimes only have time to play at weird hours. So a secondary that provides good mitigation over utility/damage boosts.
• Would like a primary in the middle of the ST - AoE continuum. Spines just didn't deal the ST damage I sometimes needed, but it is most definitely awesome to knock down a dozen minions at once.
• I'd like PvP to be an option, as I would like to eventually experience it.
• While I'm not made of Influence on my other toons, I am definitely willing to eventually spend quite a bit on this toon. Though I definitely prefer not to use anything but generic IOs until 47. So, preferably not a secondary that needs IOs to be manageable as a soloer/leveller.
• EDIT: Almost forgot. I've always wanted to solo an AV, but isn't this more or less possible with any set selection with a decent build?

From what I've heard about it, I'm thinking I might like BS/, but that's all I got. I'm looking for any and all opinions. Let me know what you think!

P.S. As a bonus, whoever picks the set selection I like most gets to name it! (If you want, of course)

I would say go fire/Shield simply because you won't need as much recharge to get fire sword circle back up. For sure you won't go wrong with fire/shield or ElM/Shield.

Here is my build sans the set of Hecatombs.

Set up my farm mission and go in... jump into the first mob, get their attention then run for the next. I get all the vills in melee range then my health bar goes down to nothin! I think... "that's wierd" let's try that again.

Repeat above another 3 times! lol

I couldn't figure it out then I thought about the health drain from oppressive gloom. Turned it off and sure enough.... I made it through every mob double stacked with NO deaths.

That power is dangerous when farming! lol
