    Build in this priority: Typed Def > Regen > Resis > Recov

    If you can stack mitigation your character will be a lot tougher than just regeneration. WP doesn't deal well with burst damage unless it has a ton of enemies around it to buff its regen.

    I would love to see this but rather than another trial have it as a good old fashioned task force.

    I've made cheap builds before but I didn't like them they were too limited lol. I am champagne kind of guy with a beer budget LOL.

    Dark/Shield because there isn't a combination that comes close to have the ratio of damage output to survivability and because I am extremely biased but ignore the second part because the first part is true.

    So let's share them, let others make them. For great justice.

    -A stone/stone character called Cityface. Literally a piece of the city come to life. He fights to clean up his city from crime, and birds.

    -A street justice scrapper/SR who fights using a fight on wires system, an implant that sends his body into a state of sezuire when his adreline gets pumping, to allow for faster reflexes (stolen from shadowrun).

    -A bright yellow smiley in a suit who only speaks in emoticons.

    Anyone else got any concepts or ideas?

    Love~ Lea the Spider Girl
    A character with only accuracy and procs slotted into as many powers as possible and name them the proctologist.

    That would be awesome!

    I don't like dbxp because I out level some great content, but I rarely if ever make a new character so its a wash lol.
  9. Santorican
    You know what power used to be really cool? Energy Transfer, then it got bludgeoned to death with a nerf bat from hell.
  10. Santorican
    How I feel when people complain about free content not being awesome enough.

    I just need to figure out a way to mold it into my concept.

    Unless you're going for concept, which it seems like, then I'd suggest not take shadow meld.

For those that like number blizzards, here's my super pack results:

    Estimated number of cards by type:

    Common: 1,326,000
    Uncommon: 600,000
    Rare: 600,000
    Very Rare: 474,000

    Estimated Consumables (totals, not cards):

    Medium Dual Inspirations: 132,600
    Medium Team Inspirations: 99,450
    Medium Team Dual Inspirations: 66,300
    Large Dual Inspirations: 116,025

    Restore Temporary Power: 289,978
    Experienced Temporary Power: 454,032
    XP Booster: 247,439
    Windfall Power: 227,766
    Prestige Booster: 49,725

    Estimated ATIOs: 260,792
    Estimated Reward Merits: 25,810,525


    Miscellany:

    Estimated value of ATIOs in superpacks based on current pricing: five to fifteen trillion influence

    Under optimal conditions, maximum number of Black Wolf pets that are statistically likely: 1428 (approximately one in 420 packs)

    Estimated Points spent on Superpacks: between 36 and 48 million
    Estimated Value of Points: $375,000 - $600,000
    (numbers do not factor in reward token purchases)
    How do you have the time to do this lol?

    Yeah.....lol

    Do it!

    Found some areas where I could increase my resistance and regeneration but I increased endurance usage and lowered my defense to right at the soft cap. That is the only real issue that I see but considering I have radial to help me with any times my defense is compromised and I can drop my ionic judgement as a crowd control I don't see it as a huge loss.

Granted this build isn't optimized with procs etc but that's because of how it was built to softcap shield. I'm open to suggestions.

    At level 23 I'm impressed with the set so far. With Form of the Soul I've been able to run Focused Fighting and Focused Senses while fighting non-stop with zero endurance problems, something most of my other /SR Scrappers have had to deal with from levels 1-20.

    On a Positron TF, the versatility of Staff Mastery was nice: Soul for extra recovery vs. Clockwork, Mind for extra recharge vs. Vahzilok, Body for extra damage to kill the Circle Ruin Mages ASAP. I like having a power that I don't have to worry about slotting, as it frees up slots for when I eventually IO the build.

    Overall I'm just having a lot of fun with Staff Fighting, and thought I'd say as much.
    It's a nice set, good damage, great animations, and good AoE. It isn't an outlier set nor is it an under performing set.

    I'd much rather they add power-sets into the game, shoot for average and then nerf or buff outliers as needed. It's not going to provide people with an endless cycle of FOTM powersets, but it's also not going to fall into a cycle of endless power creep either.

    I agree 100%, which is why I'm sticking to my Dark/Shield until something comes even close to it's performance and survivability without using any inspirations or incarnate powers.

    I stuck with my WP/EM for a bit, but just couldn't do it, even more so when I felt my tanker wasn't even needed on quite a few TFs (though watching 7 Trollers/Dom steamroll some TFs is pretty amazing )
    No, now go back to your corner and pout.

    It still stores gold, just mostly not America's gold.

    simply put: crabs are tank mages, in theory the holy grail of characters

    in the old days they were restricted to redside. But now you can get to 20 and switch to blueside.

    but there are very few crabs out there on either side.

    so why are you not playing a crab SoA?
    And have you tried one?
    Because I like to eat my crab not play with it.
