Scrapapo

Few more thoughts.

I wonder how effective it'd be to spread the Dam/Ranges from Impale into Throw Spines. Testing would be needed but as it is you can't hit a Bubbler with Throw Spines, only Impale and LBE, I wonder if a Range could make Throw Spines a tool against Bubblers. Then again even if it could I quite like the two Dam/Ranges I have in Impale and don't know if I'd swap them out.

And I'd consider swapping Superjump and Superspeed around atleast, I can imagine it being a nightmare if someone runs away from you and you're say in Warburg. If the runner is a superspeeder or even another Superjumper you don't have much of a chance catching them.

an i really think that you have no chance.

9 levels to go, then we can fight on trainigsroom. you will lost

Firstly, his build doesn't strike me as much of a dueling build anyhow. Secondly you'll never beat a clever Scrapper using another Scrapper without an incedibly lucky Crit chain. If he gets in trouble he can turn on Superspeed and wait for Integration to regen his health how do you beat that?

Perhaps I should pop into RV... I don't actually know what it looks like.

I came in this thread wondering if Raz was getting flamed because it was around 70 replies. I was totally not dissapointed.

I gotta read TF threads more often.

I don't think Superjump is much good unless you're dueling someone with craploads of slows, Superspeed I think is all you need with the ability to always chuck a Ranged attack in.

And another reason why Chives looooooves Energy torrent is in duels with people with no knockback protection. Particularly Blasters, If you hit them with LBE then ET, they fall over and you can get in a Ripper free of them meleeing you back.

Oh yeah and you need to try popping a bunch of Reds and charging at a full team - the Energy Torrent - Throw Spines combo will take half the team's squishies health off.

Edit: Oh yeah, and please explain what all the strange Hami names stand for. I can assume but I'd rather know.

Yes the point about tanks. well the whole team will be at smashing/energy damage cap with a sonic/kin duo, so i presume you'd have a */em tank?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah /em why not. But I'd have them for the Taunting primarily.

I think this thread could go on forever, because of all the different variations you have with 8 people.

I do also think that a team with a few good Tanks would tear yours to pieces.

Heh, what I don't understand is how Fly is a viable PvE travel power but not a viable PvP travel power. It actually has advantages when in PvP but none in PvE.

When do sign ups open?

Edit: oh and Hobo, try to get a lvl 2 new player to run towards the mob for Transfusion... The debuff anchor thing might take a bit of practice, but imho it's probably easier to follow slotting tips from a guide than to make effective use of Transference/Fulcrum if it's your 1st toon.

[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldn't expect them too, I see Transference as a power to just use if you're able (and in need obviously), telling someone to run towards a target for a heal would take far too long and is a waste of time even for the experienced playa.

And doing it solo is easy peasy.

I think Kinetics is more newbie friendly, there are more 'fun' powers in there. Neither is worse than the other, what I especially like about Kin is it can sustain itself forever with Heals and End buffs.

Rad is wtfpwnage for soloing, though, but that requires slotting and other garbage that a new player could pass.

Storm best secondary for solo PvP...? Nah.

Kin and Rad are far better.

Eat a stack of reds, kill opponent really fast then TK him Into a corner for the rest of the fight.

GG

No numbers, but it's really useful.

Really comes into play fighting Archvillians, or other Scrappers. The problem is running it in prolonged fights like these can be a bit harsh on the Endurance.

Using it as a slow for normal mobs will be useless because they wont be alive very long with a Spines on the team.

There wont be any defiant pentad team next monday. All our blasters are on strike due to nerfs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bawk bawk bawk...

Which is better to say?

"Oh I'm glad I have that AoE Knockback atleast, saved my [censored] from debt. Sorry I'm late."

Or

"We wiped but atleast I got here first."

Nooooo braaaaaineerrrrr.

I suppose it'd be easier with being able to get away from 'em.

Grab Combat jumping, Hurdle, and bounce around spamming Impale for teh easy wins.

[ QUOTE ]
Also I think that resilience is a must have if you havent got tough

[/ QUOTE ]

That's a reason, innit?

I can't kill a good Kin without lucky crits or getting the jump on one before he can really lock me down.

And lets face it, how often do you go after a tank or scrapper in a pentad match?

[/ QUOTE ]

I do alot.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe, but you dont kill em alot. The only reason you would is if you had no other option due to their taunts. Why waste time trying to take down a good PvP tank when theres easier kills to be got.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because its a great way to say your not going to taunt me with impunity.

[/ QUOTE ]

Exactly.

Nice while it lasted, eh.

[/ QUOTE ]

Never stopped me. Obvioulsy a glutton for punishment who never learns his lessons.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah I think that only worked on dumb tanks.

[ QUOTE ]
and in recent research I've found Resilience to be a MUST! So I've drop Whirlwind for that. Thank you Hobo

the name's Phil

[/ QUOTE ]

Pff your reasoning stank my PM promoted it better.

[ QUOTE ]
I know Max powers has screen shots of him herding in the Eden trail before the fixes/nerfs. Now that was fun

[/ QUOTE ]

No, what was fun was the Fulcrum Shift SPINES MASS SLAUGHTER BONANZA that followed.

[ QUOTE ]
That said I also think if it had of been pentad more teams would have showed( its easier to get 5 than 8 )

[/ QUOTE ]

It's easier to get Chives on pentad night.

PvE or PvP?

PvE - DA
PvP - Regen or SR

[/ QUOTE ]

Are you sure? My regen is far tougher than my DA in PvE.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, DA gets some AoE damage but there's not enough in Martial Arts to compliment it, IMO. Regen is by far the best choice.

Wow, actually amazing. Man if I could draw like that I'd have pages and pages of Chives doing super awesome stuff.
