    I tried defense but I like being overall useful even in PvP.

    How much recharge are we talking about? Over 40%?
  2. Shadowraithe
    I been reading up and regen seems very popular with scrappers. So I got this one up to 781%. Too much or not enough? I did EM because A) I like it and B) I was able to get 20% more regen over FM.

    Thanks! That was a good breakdown of those. Now I understand.

    One more thing. What about epics? Anything in particular strike you as being good? I was thinking fire for RoF and Char but if people gear up to make it useless to use or reduce its effect, it seems like a waste.

    Any recommendations on what would be best for PVP? I was thinking fire/fire just to do as much damage as possible before dying.

    So I made this build and I am wondering how it shapes up. I reached the softcap but I am aiming to have it perform in PvP as well. How would you all say it measures up?

    I am working on a build for this power selection and based on some things I have read, I am wondering if it is a lost cause. Any thoughts/opinions?

    soft cap obsession

    POST-ACTION

    So 45% is considered okay for PvP? Or should one go higher than that for PvP?
  8. Shadowraithe
    Would DM/Electric work without getting into expensive IO sets?

    Now, if you have a specific goal in mind (AV soloing without insps/temps, +4/x8 missions, PVP) you'd want to state it to have detailed answers, in my opinion.
    I am not concerned about PvP. PvP usually turns out to be a big dog pile anyway.

    What kind of IO build are we talking about here?
  11. Shadowraithe
    Taking into account I16, any choice on power sets that don't break the bank?
  12. Shadowraithe
    I just started out with this myself. Most of the power selections I am going for are the 60' or more ranged ones of which there are plenty. One of the things not mentioned about subdual yet is that it gives you a 11% damage bonus for 9s. If you have some recharge in there, it can stack.

    Did Electric Armor get that heal power?
  14. Shadowraithe
    So the fitness pool would be necessary for this build then too?
  15. Shadowraithe
    Thanks alot Umbral. That helps.

    Question though. Why not just slot boxing instead of shadow punch? Or Shadow Maul?
  16. Shadowraithe
    So using your build, I modified it a bit for me to be more in the range I can afford.

    Where my slots are is the same but I changed it to take out those 200M influence enhancements to be more on par with what I can easily afford. It is still almost the same. Just a bit higher recharge though.
  17. Shadowraithe
    There is only one problem with your build, Umbral.

    There is NO WAY the threat level of it should be only 200 according to mids. You are a way bigger threat than that.

    That is what I mean. Using the guassian set in web grenade. It lets you slot it with it but mids doesn't give you the set bonus unless it is in use. I thought that was strange since other sets in other powers don't require them to be active. Unless it is not supposed to accept to hit buff enhancements.

    If its set powers still work with it not actually in use, that would be awesome. Don't need a toggle power so it would save you more endurance.

    Web grenade

    POST-ACTION

    So I was playing with mids and noticed something by accident. Would the gausian set actually only take effect when web grenade is used? Not sure if that part is a flaw in mids or not. I noticed that other set bonuses don't require the power to be active.
  22. Shadowraithe
    Would you say invisibility with the recharge is essential? I never tried anything from the concealment pool but your build has changed my way of thinking for slotting. I was also wondering if once you are detected or reveal yourself, if the bonus slowly goes away or if it stays.

    Oh, and do you know if the drone from targetting drone can get blown up?

    And it is wierd but web grenade in mids lets me use to hit buffs. Huh. That seems odd. I'm guessing it is a fault of mids that web grenade has to be in use before the set bonus kicks in.

    Ah, well that is a truly awesome build. I like it. You did a good job in coming up with it. And I can't believe how much damage boxing does in that build without a damage enhancement.
  24. Shadowraithe
    Did you recreate that real quick just for me? You have an empty slot on resilience.

    Could you could PM a datachunk of your build? I'd love to see it. I want to take out fitness mostly because it seems almost an automatic thing to include for most builds.
