Shift

you realise things like this will make sure Regen gets nerfed right? Or did you think the devs would buff inv/sr/da?

rofl, sif!

for real, any scrapper combo is good, there are NO unworkable combo's and only a few are a bit tough to play.

in my recollection baphomet was a wuss, and didnt even give the badge

DA? End light? How!

[/ QUOTE ]No OG, CoF or Death Shroud.

which is about half you damage mitigation. DAs res isnt that good yknow, its only nice vs neg nrg and psi, and we all know how common those are in CoH.

FA 3x end rdx
CoF, OG, DS, OS, DE, MC, Acro 2x end rdx
CoD, CJ 1x end rdx
Smite/Maul/MnG 1x end rdx

And i cant go full force without running out of end after 4 or 5 groups, DC helps A LOT for me...

then again, i like toggling everything on and just going mayhem. Adrenalin Boost is my heaven ^^.

yup, but he said his was a DM/DA, in which case im trying to figure out how he made it to where he is without DC :/

[ QUOTE ]
IMHO, DM is good, but I only have only taken 3 pure DM attacks (smite Shadow Maul & MnG) I have touch of fear to save a mob for later and soul drain for ubber glowieness.

Other than that, I have skipped the other 3 powers.

And just for infor the DM was DM/DA

[/ QUOTE ]

Just a quick question: You saying you skipped dark consumption on a DM/DA? :S DC is one of my favorite poewrs. combined with soul drain and dark regen, it rocks!

-jump into huge pack of foes.
-hit soul drain
-take alpha
-hit dark regeneration
-heal every damage from the alpha
-hit dark consumption
-get that soo precious end back that your toggles + soul drain + dark regen cost you.

et voila, 3 powers, nice damage and accuracy buff, full hp and end, and the alpha strike soaked up. time to pummel away! (and if you have death shroud, that now just murders minions

[ QUOTE ]
Personally, I don't use Touch of Fear and have respecced out Midnight Grasp

[/ QUOTE ]

you WHA????

oh dear..... somebody hold me back....


for real, MnG is one hell of an attack. nice damage, immobilize, and pure negative energy damage, which means it will get resisted very little, and will thus hit just has hard, or sometimes even harder than BSs headsplitter will.

As for ToF. a button to put 1 boss out of the fight? gimme please.

siphon life is long, its heal is [censored], and its end cost is relatively high. all the more reason not to get it, is that you get a better heal in your secondairy (reconstruction) You'd be better of taking another damage attack (as DM lacks those a bit) take shadow punch and slot it like any other attack before you even consider taking siphon life. As an SR i could see you picking it because the set doesnt have a self heal, but regen IS healing, inv's got DP, and dark armor gets the best self heal in the game with DR.

BS or DM is really what you like playing, BS is more dishing out raw damage and high numbers, whereas DM is a more scraptrollerish set, with acc-debuffs and a fear attack. Also, Soul Drain is the best build up in the game provided there are enough mobs around you.

without a lvl 38 power like Retsu or overload its going to suck.

[/ QUOTE ]

So does scrapper DA without one really. Also the fact that you dont have any KB/immob protection as a MELEE character is stupid. Shadow Dweller looks interesting tho.

you might want at least 1 accuracy in it, to make sure it hits. the last thing you want is waste tons of end on doing nothing specially if you're DA.

[ QUOTE ]
You said, but what I'm after is that confirmation

[/ QUOTE ]

dont have 1 tick towards a healing badge on my dark scrapper.

afaik you can only get healing badges from healing others, not healing yourself. Anyway, with over 600 hours on him, and not even having a progress bar for it. I think its pretty safe to say you cant get it via dark regeneration.

as for regens having it for DP/Recon, i doubt it, as again, those are self-heals.

[ QUOTE ]
Well done all who turned up. Ran it on vicious in the end and it was much fun. Two rad's were really nice on the tree too

[/ QUOTE ]

there was a tree?

[ QUOTE ]
lol and if you need someone at the last moment...

KanoN dm/da lvl 34 you need a dark guy... its a must have hehe

[/ QUOTE ]

i was thinking about that :P but im liking my kat/regen a bit more atm :P

plus the fact that he has like a 100 time larger surviveability.

[ QUOTE ]
I dont smash anyone......much....often.........um anyone there?

Well confused playing a stalker and ASing then realising has to be the best one I have seen so far But let me know whatever team needs and can come along and do that

[/ QUOTE ]

i once Atomic Blasted the whole group when a succubus confused me. Needles to say they didn't like me for it

ill be bringing my (now) 32 Kat/Regen TTL

[ QUOTE ]
50p says ill/kin wins it.

[/ QUOTE ]

sup invis + SS ftw!

TTL has it, but im not sure if you can start it if you outlvld it.

TTL, my Kat/Regen is now 32 fast approaching 33, Golden Dragonfly ftw!

3 acc is a bit overkill, 2 should ensure you hit often enough. i slot it 2 acc 3 rech.

[ QUOTE ]
yeah, I'm sure there are quite a few people/combinations missing from the list... there are people out there with lvl 50s that rarely/never post on these forums.

Would be nice if we had a definitive list somewhere!

[/ QUOTE ]

Is it not possible for the devs/mods to track down the 50s? Or does that violate privacy issues or something? That way we'd be able to get a complete list of the Defiant 50s in no time at all.

[/ QUOTE ]

the only statistics about amounts of playes i have ever seen from the Devs is the percentages of characters with a specific origin. This was only to show that making origin orientated content now, would be imbalanced, as there were (iirc) twice as many mutants as techies. So i guess they are reluctant to release such info (as they are with ANY concrete info regarding the game)

Welcome, and have a good one

oh and yes, CoX (used to name CoH/CoV in 1 acronym) is WAAY better than WoW and RFO

woah, took you some time eh? gratz m8, very well done

I'd not take / didn't take CoD at all, Stealth = less agrro = less Fury

[/ QUOTE ]

I couldn't care less about stealth (and believe me, they'll notice you soon enough).

Ability to get close to spec-ops before they see you + perception = Worth the power pick.

I'm levelling up my 2nd Villain thinking 'Why the hell didn't I notice how annoying smoke grenades were before? ... oh yeah.'

[/ QUOTE ]

this was my initial thought, but now that i have barrage (wrong power picked in planner only), bone smasher and whirling hands. with brawl on auto. i can perfectly keep on SMASHing happily. So thats why i left hasten for later. furthermore, CoD is indeed not picked for stealth, i know for a fact that on my scrapper death shroud easily negates the stealth effect (any attack does afaik) but more for the +perc. and offcourse for being the big black cloud with red puffballs of DOOOOOOM!

[ QUOTE ]
Mostly its a thin layer of defence, a good imob protection and a way of ghosting missions if you dont like what you see inside.


[/ QUOTE ]

erm, good immob protection? the scrapper version is mag1, i cant see the brute version be any higher (even mag2 is pretty useless)

[ QUOTE ]
Slash's crappy animation is gone? Yay!

Interesting to see what the new Strike animation is going to be like... and I suppose Swipe is going be ala Barrage or something. Interesting .

[/ QUOTE ]

i reckon strike will be like a sort of long brawl.

And i think swipe will be a quick barrage, only from below.
