Anything shield defense is FOTM. Shield Defense is going to be FOTY for a long time to come.

Why doesn't anyone mention electricity for controllers for a primary and secondary as well as a secondary for defenders?! I'd love to have an electric controller.

Quote:Yes, +infinity. I'd love to have PPD bots for an MM.Originally Posted by Coolio
Colouring the default MM Pets and their powers would be good:- Bots: Armor plating and powers.
- Mercs: Costume colours and powers.
- Necro: Zombie skin, armor, etc and powers.
- Ninja: Costume colors and powers.
- Thugs: Costume colours and powers.
Additionally alternate non customisable pets would be good too:- Bots: PPD Assault, PPD Guardian, PPD Enforcer
Various Malta Titans... Including the Zeus
Vanguard Mech's, etc. - Mercs: Malta, Longbow, etc.
- Necro: CoT/Ghosts etc.
- Ninja: KoA, etc.
- Thugs: Various ranked Skulls, etc.

So unless you're in the market for purples don't farm regular content?

You could always learn how to sell at WW and make money there.

Quote:I HATE when people say this, Influence/Infamy is currency. Why? Because you can't buy a fusion reactor by just being popular. You need moneyOriginally Posted by Smash_Zone
Keep in mind the in-game currency isn't "money" that can be put in a bank. You get influence, which can be explained like "Oh, you just saved Dr. danger-prone from the evil Arachnos, and prevented them from extracting his secrets. Have some free stuff!"
When your running low on influence, it's also like saying "Hey, you haven't done anything heroic in a while, go beat up Tsoo and I'll give you some more stuff."
So, the currency in this game isn't tangible. You can't save some girls purse, then tell her "Hey, go tell the bank I saved you, so I can store some influence in there." -
Awesome!!!

Quote:Because aggro at such an early level isn't good and it drains endurance fairly quicklyOriginally Posted by cp2_4eva
Any particular reason why you guys chose to go with Against all Odds so late? I think I got it as soon as it was available or something. And I took the fighting pool early on as well.

I think six slotting True Grit with Numina's is the best option ; 12% regeneration, 1.87% HP, an awesome 3.75% ranged defense, and it's an ideal power to slot the unique into.

Wouldn't it be better to make this character a defender or corruptor so they could have trick arrow?

Call me crazy, but it looks as if you re-posted my exact build Santo. I'm guessing that wasn't your intention, but thanks anyways.
Anyone else have some feedback?

Okay so looking at your build here I have one big comment.
You want Siphon Life, take it over Touch of Fear. That heal is invaluable.
Just replaced a few enhancements here and there and raised your passive regeneration.
Good Luck

Quote:Hollow sounds like an empty shell and depending on the shape and material an empty shell is usually weaker then a solid object. So I think he means his character feels weak.Originally Posted by Sailboat
Hollow meaning what? If you're tired of it, not much we can do.
If, on the other hand, you mean it feels weak, well, once it's soft-capped it should be stronger than a soft-capped /SR, because it'll have the same defense (soft-capped) but MUCH better resistances. And soft-capped /SRs are so strong people regularly nerf-herd them. And you'll be stronger.
Does that help? -
I moved some powers around and improved your slotting in Siphon Life. You don't need recharge in it to run MG>Smite>SL>MG.

Quote:It is fairly easy to get 25% defense to all positions and it would greatly increase your survivability. After getting to that percentage I'd focus on recharge then regeneration. You have a nice self heal with a secondary 100% regeneration boost and recovery boost. I'd try to get it's recharge time down as low as possible within reason.Originally Posted by SuperT
Hi,
I'm working on my elec/elec scrapper and wanted to know what you guys thought would be the top priorities when trying to get the most out of elec armor. Is recharge the most important - making sure energize and power sink are rdy as often as possible... Or should increasing defense be the main focus? I know it's good to have a little of both but I just wanted to get a sense of what would make the biggest difference. If defense is important, what is a good % to shoot for (whether positional or typed)? I messed around with a couple of builds on Mid's and got around 25% defense on positional defense without making too much sacrifice to regen, dmg, and recharge... I just didnt know if that was good enough. Also, although I love the look of power surge, I just dont think it should be something to hold on to... any thoughts? -
I'd say give it time, you're only at L7, it is too earlier to be worried about your character. It will begin to smooth out eventually around L20.

The drop rates are not based on reputation. Do not buy into that belief. The drop rates for PvP enhancements are incrediblely high, more so then superior enhancements. Which in my eyes is 2 steps backward considering they were ment to entice more people to come to PvP.
With enough petitioning I'm sure the developers would increase the drop rate but the problem is that these threads are so sporadic there isn't one concentrated effort to push for this change. I'm pretty sure that there at least 200 people who want this changed and if they drop rates were decreased from 200 per kill to 100 per kill you'd see a significant increase in PvP traffic but that is just an assumption.
So my challenge to you is, if you want it changed, make an "Official" thread, use logical arguements, have a lot of people behind it, and stay positive. -
Just a thought but if you're able to switch sides sort of on the fly does that mean influence and infamy with be, converted, unified, eliminated? I hope it isn't the later, but obviously too earlier to tell.

Quote:You got it, if you want to you slot Brawl now that it has no endurance cost and use it as a filler attack.Originally Posted by dave_p
BS has terrible numbers... well, terrible DPA, anyway. On the upside, it recharges super fast and has a low end cost, but seriously, it does Brawl level DPA. So what's a typical early attack chain for Spines? Lunge > Impale > Lunge, SB whenever up, and wait for Ripper? Boxing as an early filler (taking Tough & Weave anyway)?
-
I'm not entirely sure about the electrical part but I do know that regeneration is the best for PvP. So you're on the right track!
-
The issue that I'm running into is that recipes are increasing in prices and crafted enhancements are not so profit margin is either very small i.e. 10k influence or there is none to be had.
I might have to go back to AE farming until this issue is resolved as I have barely recieved any recipes out of the numerous times I've gone farming in PI.
