    Oh yes - I always slot 2 Acc SOs regardless of the primary, you can't have enough accuracy.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Same here. I cannot tolerate anything less.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Hmm, never really slot more than 1 Acc in a power. Then again, i only have high lvl scrappers, which all have FA.

    My Kat/Regen has 1 Acc IO in each power and atm unslotted FA (only end reducers till i get HOs).

    And my herostats show than when fighting vs +3s/+4s my acc is 94-96 for all poewrs (which is the ceiling)

    Then again, i mostly team. where there might or might not be acc/tohit buffs
  4. Shift

    Cap

    There is a max HP you can have. they tested it way back in beta with cold corruptors frostwork. not sure what it was. but in my mind the number 10k springs up.

    Anyway, enough of silly Invul', why not try Kat/Dark and be your own Fluffy with a razorblade.
    If you can put up with the early Endurance issues you'll make good in no time.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That's exactly why I didn't recommend a DA, not sure it's the best choice for a first time scrapper. If OP wants to go the easy way, regen or inv, if he wants something challenging and fun, then SR. DA may bring him too close to frustration, still, if he wants DA, I'd go for claws/da to minimize the end issues.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    So thats why my first character (DM/DA) took 500 hours to get to 50 eh? :P
  7. Eden trial isnt that hard really, just loads of fun
  8. Shift

    What If!

    sorry, i was under the expectation that we'd have cancelled this morning, so i caught up on some sleep.

    ill be there next time if i can make it.
  9. Shift

    What If!

    So, this still on then? otherwise im sleeping in tomorrow :P
  10. Shift

    What If!

    Just to be sure, is this on defiant, or on test?
  11. arent hami raids 50 people max nowadays?
  12. Shift

    What If!

    if you need me, i can pull out Shift at 9am saturday (10em CET :P)
  13. Shift

    All Scrapper STF

    If on Defiant, ill bring in Shift.

    L50 DM/DA
  14. Jup, having the Inf i defenetly use em. Tho i'd still slot in 2 steadfast somewhere (or a steadfast and a karma if they're unique, im not quite sure). Just so i DONT have to pick Acrobatics.
  15. i 'only' have my 21 month badge (which would be 30 if i'd have kept paying during my absence)

    But i don't seem to remember your name from the 1st 2 months. By old-skool i mean pre I4 L50 DM/DAs, those who swore by CoF as it was 'cheap' and could fear bosses.

    [ QUOTE ]
    Well, but we're the only 2 from the 'old skool' still playing then?

    I mean i think that TSnipeR, Johnny Fiasco, Optical all quit right?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Thats me
    I never quit as such, just stopped playing for a while.

    I am yet too touch IO's - A: Hate messing with my build and B: only got around 35mill inf, and prices are stupidly high.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    edit: move a long, nothing to see here :P

    and yes, i neither have the inf to fully slot Shift up, Looked at what i wanted. And to make him a killing monster i need like a dozen uniques. Go figure.
  16. Well, but we're the only 2 from the 'old skool' still playing then?

    I mean i think that TSnipeR, Johnny Fiasco, Optical all quit right?

    I thought D3 stood for Dark/Dark/Defender..

    [/ QUOTE ]

    it does originally. an D4 stands for Dark/Dark/Dark/Defender (having chosen the dark epic pool)
    Dark Miasma (Primairy Power Set)
    Dark Blast (Secondairy Power Set)
    Dark Mastery (Ancilliary Power Pool)
    Defender (Archetype)

    So d3 "the scrapper way" is simply a Dark/Dark/Dark Scrapper
    Dark Melee (Primairy Power Set)
    Dark Armour (Secondairy Power Set)
    Darkness Mastery (Ancilliary Power Pool)
    Scrapper (Archetype)

    signing up for this (first reserve spot i think?)

    [/ QUOTE ]What stone did you crawl out under?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    the big kind

    So, am i in? :P Still a gimped I7 build tho, and no IOs yet.
  19. signing up for this (first reserve spot i think?)
  20. well, you can copypaste the table into excel and start doing some calculations?
  21. One of the things that amazed me about IOs is that they can give you knockback protection. my first though obviously was: NO MORE ACROBATICS! 3 MORE FREE POWERS!

    So i tried to build up something. And i came up with too few slots (as usual) but i had power slots left! so i took Air sup as a filler attack and fly for the fun.

    Now i only hope that someone still plays this lovely set today. Here is the IO build i conjured up. Anyone care to comment. Please burn me down, i havent played since early I7.

    Thanks in advance for any comments.
  22. Reactivated my account a day or 2 ago, and at the risk of getting hooked on this game again, ill join in.

    Shift L50 Dark Melee/Dark Armor Scrapper.

    Preferably bring an empath with AB :P

    edit: 18:30 would be GMT or CET?
  23. When you pick dark/dark, its definitely a hell to play. low endurance, lots of MUST take powers (acro, thats 3, stamina, thats 3).

    Forget about the AoE fear, it sucks, and costs WAY tomuch end, you cant really take that much end.

    Dark/Dark takes a special kind of people to play. which makes sure that if you've gone through the hell that is 50 levels of dark/dark. You're sure to be proud, and love you character.

    Sadly i havent played in a few months, so im not sure of any recent changes.

    In short:
    - Watch your endurance
    - Plan you build on endurance first, then on defence, then on attack (sherksilvers hero builder does the job quite nicely)
    - Kick [censored]!
    - It's not easy to play well, but when played well, its a force to be reckoned with
  24. Shift

    Shadow Shard TFs

    i might join in, not sure, keep me on a side list :P
