    What is the technical reason why claws/spines cannot be pared with shields? I remember someone mentioning that its weird to stab someone in the face with a claw and hit them in the face with a shield but there are quite a few animations that punch with the left hand and would cause the edge of the shield to hit them in the face.

    Also can you imagine the awesomeness of shockwave and shield charge in one combined package?!

Unless they up the drop rate this aint gonna stop, I don't get it why can't they just change the drop rate to what it was when they first released these things.
    I honestly do not know why they changed the drop rate. It was adding insult to injury, sure you ****** up PvP and honestly didn't give a **** when you did so now you add a carrot to draw people in but now you raise the carrot even higher and make it more difficult to get.

    People say the developers listen, even the developers say they listen to players, but when it comes to PvP they don't give a **** what you have to say.

    This is how I'd build mine, I wouldn't bother taking Energy Torrent and I'd pick up the Fighting Pool.

    There are a few threads in the market section dealing with this, the ratio is alittle higher actually it's closer to 100:1 although I have seen some average ratios jump as high as 175:1 but those usually had lower numbers then your data.

    I honestly don't know why people can't be nice while they PvP. It seems like people find entertainment in being mean, so the only thing you can do is ignore them and enjoy yourself.

    Because that never happens with my spines/dark lol.

    Why is it that AAo's damage buff doesn't stay constant? It will jump from 12 to 22 some times.

    My regen has some where around 600% ish +/- 10%. Try to shoot for 25+% positional defense and around 50% recharge.

    I would switch out CoF for OP due to endurance and I wouldn't take Blaze, you're already doing so much AoE Fire Ball would be over kill.
  14. Santorican
    My little qualm I have with SD is that it does damage, and over time it kills my fuel for AAo lol.
  15. Santorican
    Lies!

    They can change Soul Drain to a build up type power when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

    I'd say it's pretty damn good at everything it does

    1- Why do so few people seem to slot TRUE GRIT with health? I am only level 26 but seeing some nice survivability bonuses from greater hitpoints. Am I missing something?
    Because they're crazy, plain and simple. You're better off getting the +HP from TG then the minute amount of resistance.

    Quote:
    2- DEFLECTION: To me this seems to benefit defense/resistance equally. I see very few people slot it for resistance, why is that? Personally I have taken TOUGH early, and slotted DEFLECTION 6 times with a combo of end rdx/Def/Res. Is this a bad idea?
    If you have slots to spare and are at the defense soft cap (45%) to all positions, I would slot for resistance, but I like other bonuses.

    Quote:
    3- PHALANX FIGHTING and GRANT COVER: Are these powers in anyway useful as a solo player?
    PF is very useful buffs your defense by 3.75% to all positions, Grant Cover is nice to have not game breaking/gimping if you don't have it. Gives you a nice defense debuff resistance and recharge debuff resistance. If you have room take it, if not no big deal.

    Quote:
    4- This might be a little vague but can a Shield Defense scrapper take on AV'S? (without uber slotting?).
    Uber slotting is relative, if you mean spending less than 100 million influence no it probably can't.

    Quote:
    5- With Shield Defense, is TOUGH mandatory for late game survival?
    Not at all, but its nice to have to slot the stead fast protection: defense/resistance enhancement.

    Feel free to use the search feature and look through a few of the threads I and a few others have stared concerning dark/shield. There is a lot of good information there

    Most people are lazy

    A lot of what people are saying are isolated incidents. I've been PvPing for a good month now and have yet to see anything remotely close to that happening. Yeah you have your dummies but you just hit ignore user and go about playing the game.

    Also to those who've said I'm here for badges and not PvP and expect NOT to get attacked are crazy.
  21. Santorican
    Katana/Regeneration is able to solo AVs without any problem.

    downies can't build, but spamming taunt, fossilize, total focus and ET isn't hard.

    still, i'll tell you what i don't have in my build: a hold proc in fossilize.
    I haven't read that thread, is it a good read?
  23. Santorican
    Are you saying I have to anticipate the incoming damage as soon as it hits me?

    You can't slot BotZ into Hurdle and that minute amount of defense won't make any different onto incoming damage.
