Shift

they work ok together, like any sets, but theres no special synergy.

big drawback is that both sets are very intensive in endurance, and this will cost you later on, as you will have to build more towards endurance reduction, which costs you accuracy and damage.

Shift is Dark Melee/Dark Armor/Body Mastery

the ancilliary is missing atm

Have you duelled any /DA scrappers running mez toggles Hammer?

I've fought DA scrappers and brutes, I dont remember how many, never lost to one in arena though. I think Dark has least protection of the secondaries against my blaster.

Ps. the Pocket D terminals are for the heroes and villains to socialize in the same space when PvPing - it helps tremendously when youre having tournaments.

oh yes, EN blasters are a pain in the [censored].

low energy res (about 25%), and the fact that IF mez protection is broken, DA is completely useless (the proverbial bag of hitpoints).

and offcourse the fact that DA's top survivability lies against about 5 foes (4 needed to top off hp with DR, accounting 1 unlucky miss etc. calculations have been done by people :P)

So yes, its hard to kill an Energy blasters (both en/ and /en, or worse, en/en :P)

Especially if his name is Captain Freon (bad [censored] slows + /en and a quality PvP'er..... you do the maths :P)

and another succesfull hami raid i joined :P

got my 4th ribosome, alsmost halfway :P

If you're lucky i might be able to make the 1st. 2nd one is probably definitely a no-go for me.

edit: w00t, 1337 post :P

back when DM/DA still was something with high NEG-NRG resists. tanking a L54 shadow cyst and using the fuzzballs to keep up on hp end and damage (SD->DR->DC ftw!)

Actually, I'm pretty sure it has to be a fact that Spines is the best Scrapper set. Perhaps even, overpowered.

[/ QUOTE ]

Overpowered due to one single attack...Impale! Doing as much damage unslotted (in fact slightly more) as Power Burst and Shout from the blaster primaries with a greater range, does toxic, has -fly and immobilise and whatever else secondary effects. Spines is definitely overpowered. Or the blaster primaries are underpowered. One of the two! <img src="/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

both ^^

For example, a damage aura 'ticks' every time it checks it's AoE for foes, and applies damage to foes in range.

[/ QUOTE ]

After the tohit check comes out positive that is [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

meh, dont care, don't have either of them.

CoF = too high end cost
OG = takes health, so you need to use DR more, so you have more end cost :P

i dont have much of the blue stuff, i'd rather save it.

i know CoF fears leuts for brutes, and only minions for scrappers. the mag for brutes is higher.

I guess this could also be the case with OG (not IG [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img])

nope, the effects get replaced i think. because even in the old i4 days, CoF didnt fear bosses, even when slotted with fear enhancers.

DM/DA scrappers have the lovely combo for ToF + CoF to fear bosses (now the endurance to actually do it)

edit: as a rule, effects (buffs/debuffs of any kind) do NOT stack when from the same power and caster. if the power or the caster, or even both differ, and its the same effect (disorient, fear, immobilize etc) they WILL stack. There are offcourse exceptions. for example, Clear Mind.

Holds seem to be an exception to this rule.

then again i havent played CoX in 2 months, so i might be totally wrong [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

awww, you know you can allways gank me at will tyl [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You have no idea how much I miss Unstoppable on my Dark Armour Brute. The lack of Panic Button on DA is a big disadvantage IMHO, especially in PvP.

Also, Dark Regeneration's uberness is significantly reduced in PvP. Not only is there guarenteed to be less foes around for you to soul-suck but if they're a Defense-based toon, you'll have a hard time hitting them with it too.

The Fear and Psi Res and all is nice, but I've had much more success on my Regen Scrapper and my Invuln Tank and my Invuln Brute.

ST rocks for PvP, die, and then untoggle the GA+rooted tank ^^

mag 37 AoE Stun ftw!

tho i would like something which is a super-mode button thingymabob. then again, what do i care, i dont play anymore :P

why won't people just accept that DA r0xx0rz tah b0xx0rz!?

zomg! if you are there, then i MUST be there!

i'm there! you shall all behold my sheer awesomeness....

or well, the big cloakie thing. that'd be me.

[censored], i so forgot about this :/

then again, i had work too

drop siphon life. low hp gain, high end cost.

and since you are DA you get the awesome lovelyness that is Dark Regeneration.

Bout time scrappers got the nerfbat!

as a powerset?

awww, no one crazy enough to do all 4 shadow shard TFs through the night and on invincible?

nah, not nearly,

done 3 of them, neither was longer than 4 or 5 hours.

maybe we can start late saturday night and pull an all-nighter? i'd be up for that too.

edit: yeah, like that idea better, start saturday night and run it all the night + sunday morning.

edit2: changed the main post.

Thats right, you read it. after 2 months not playing due to serveral reasons (bored with the game, exams and some other stuff) i've decided to give this double xp thingy weekend a go. With TFs

TFS has a run on all 4 SSTFs in 1 go. I actually had this idea half a year or so ago on the TC boards, but nobody wanted in. they claimed i was 'nuts'. Silly them :P

So here it goes. I'm planning to do the same (surprise!) only on saturday night-sunday as i have to work tomorrow till 9PM

So we start at about 10PM CET and run all 4 TFs in 1 go (with the occasional break etc) Because we're going to do all of them, only lvl 44+ can apply (you need to be 44 to enter TFs 3 and 4)

Sign up here:

1. Shift | L50 Dark Melee / Dark Armor Scrapper
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

Please note, if you DO enter, you WILL sit the whole ride through. i'm not feeling like searching for an 8th member in the midst of it all.

Edit: for extra madness, i want to do this on invincible. but if you all are to weak, i guess we can try heroic


In short:
SSTF 1-4 in 1 run
Min lvl 44
Start 10PMish Saturday, going on till we finish noon-afternoon sunday.
Invincible setting if everyone agrees.
Have loads of fun.

bah bah bah, i have work saturday, otherwise i'd DEFINITLY be in

i'm tank :P

ah well, work it is

any plans for doing the same sunday?

also in later levels, MA's stun will help with Opressive Gloomg if you take it. making you able to stun bosses in 1 hit (if the MA stun lands)

i.... need..... the..... blue.... stuff.....*

gimme a fix, quick!*



(*: I'm a DA scrapper, i NEED CP/FA to get me my bluey stuff oeh, shiny bluey stuff!)

i think its still WAI that you need someone in the level range.

but that could just be me not playing for 2 months.

anyhow, it'd be nice to know if we need someone or not. otherwise we're in for an unpleasant surprise. well, not surprise, but you get the idea :P
