    So, from what I'm gathering from your response... the only REAL "needed" EM powers are: Boost Range, Power Thrust (default), and Build Up.

    I think the idea of a Perma- Boost-Range would be heaven. Is it hard to acquire? Or I should say EXPENSIVE to acquire? LOL!

    Also, regarding Endurance... did you find you needed Fitness/Stamina? Or did you just stick in a few end reducers to help things along?

    My concept is that he's a ranger-type (medieval ranger), so I'd like to get him stealth... I figure that along with Super speed would be good. Yes, I know I can put a +stealth proc in SS, but that's fairly expensive, no?

    Thanks again for your time, Stryker.
    I would take at least Bone Crusher from EM, it is fast animating and does good damage.

    Perma boost range isn't hard to achieve and expensive is relative. I'd say a good build with about 50% global recharge could run you anywhere between 100 to 250 million influence. I'd really suggest heading over to the market forum and doing some reading, it will allow you to make influence really easily.

    Archery/Energy is probably and arguably the best ranged blaster. Tier 1 and 2 attacks with enough recharge can be chained by themselves alone, has a 50ft ranged cone, a targeted AoE, an 80ft tier 3 blast, and a fast recharging mini nuke.
  3. Santorican
    I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that soft capping s/l is less effective than soft capping for ranged. There are few ranged attacks that don't have either of those damage components to them. If anything for a Pistols/Mental soft capping for s/l is much more effective than soft capping for ranged due to having several PBAoE powers that put you in melee range.

    No you won't miss ES, it takes too long to animate and will more likely get you into trouble than actually save you with its root time. Skip it and take PR

    I'd rather have carp melee
  6. Santorican
    Well as a temporary stealth you can go to warburg and get a temp stealth power.

    Dp/mm

    POST-ACTION

    Here is my DP/MM build that I am working towards, I have about 90% of all the enhancements already purchased for him. If you see anything that can be improved I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm trying to get as close to perma DS as I can without sacrificing defense.

    I have a love hate relationship with Nemesis, they're fun on some days, others I want to eat their souls.

    O Gaiden why must you further my builditis!

    I moved a slot from conserve power to health to give you more recharge because you have a lot of recovery and I'm fairly certain your build would be sustainable, and I slotted a Performance Shifter: End/Acc into PP to give you alittle more +hp and you only lose .08end/s

    I'm sorry but what is /Leccy?
  11. Santorican
    I say buff EM and nerf BoTZ, o wait

    MA/Regen PvP Build

    POST-ACTION

    Your best bet would be to head over to the PvP section where they will have a lot more regeneration builds. Your best bet for regeneration though is to stack up + hp and recharge set bonuses. MA is actually a really good combo for PvP because of its stuns. Anything without mez protection will be screwed lol.
  13. Santorican
    It should and so should Quills but for some reason they won't let it.
  14. Santorican
    Holy crap there are some old people in this game
  15. Santorican
    The only benefit that a brute has over a scrapper is hit points and punchvoke, other than that, I believe, they're both on par in just about every other aspect.

    Fire/SD Help

    POST-ACTION

    If you search through the scrapper forum you will find numerous threads about Fire/Shield. I wish we had active section moderators that would merge threads about the samething.
  17. Santorican
    Maybe they'll be crazy and give stalkers gloom and shadow meld! Doubtful lol
  18. Santorican
    I hope they make a dominate armor set for the whip primary
  19. Santorican
    Conceptionally I wish they'd come out with an electrial mastery for scrappers. Blaze on an electric wielding hero just seems....out of place, but thats just my insanity. Personally I wouldn't take Blaze on a Fire/Fire scrapper lol
  20. Santorican
    It seems like you severly underslotted TG as well as AD. If you plan on soloing AVs without any inspirations its going to be filled with many deaths due to cascading defense failure.
  21. Santorican
    I'll have to take a look at it when I get home I'm in dynamics right now LOL
  22. Santorican
    I still think freem was a good idea
  23. Santorican
    DB would win because DP couldn't move plus DB does so much damage you can overcome any amount of regen. Just ask Tiger Paw

    Yes but we all know how powerful the spirit bomb was and that took forever to make. lol
