Ok, who pulled the plug of Virtue!

It happened to me once. I had an escort mission and clicked the mission door just as the hostage was arriving. Ended up in the bean

Thats too bad. I would have joined ya but the lack of a high-level villian hindered matters

Woohoo, first after a D_R

Just finished watching the You Tube version. Good job as always. Loved the sync between the shots and music.

It was worth the wait. Sorry to hear about RL troubles.

Yeah, that thread definitely helped me get my badges.

Near the end someone posted a guide to running though the Division: Line arc which is probably the easiest of the 40-45 arcs. I used it to get all my badges at that level.

Ok, here's my build so far. Probably gonna cost an arm and a leg to build but I've got a fair amount of inf/merits/tickets stockpiled on my lvl 50 scrapper.

I'm basically slotting for rechage. Not sure about Empty clips. Might just take web grenade at lvl 4 instead, move those slots somewhere else. The short range of empty clips always throws me off when i try using it.

Thanks for the advice so far.

What would be a good set for Acid Mortar? Should I just go with Entropic Chaos for the recharge bonus or get one of Defense Debuff sets to try and improve the debuff?

So I've been playing this game for quite awhile (just got my 54 month reward a couple weeks ago) but I've primarily focused on playing scrappers with abit of blasters thrown in.

With the release of DP and the DXP weekend, I decided to give defenders a try and roll a Traps/DP defender. Thanks to the DXP weekend and a few TFs since then, I was able to get him up to lvl 33 fairly quickly. My power selection and slotting has been fairly straight forward, sticking with just SOs.

Now that I slot lvl 35 enhancements, I'm planning on a full respec with an eye towards getting a bunch of lvl 35 IO sets as well.

My problem is I don't even know where to begin with what powers I should take and focus on, especially when it comes from pool powers. Like would Maneuvers from the Assault be a good pick to go along with the defense from FFG? I want this build to be a team-orientated build.

To Dark Respite and Eisenzahn,

Haven't you guys learned by now never to drink while reading a SteelClaw thread? Sheesh, its Forum 101

Got any orange or grape flavored ones?

Have you tried contacting your credit card company directly to see if any requests have been getting blocked recently?

Yeah, I was there and leading the scrapper team for most of it, doing the targetting etc. After the intial yellow attempt, it was decided to just go for the yellows till either the tank died or we started dropping. The typical scrapper mentatily you know.

For a on-the-spot pick up raid, it went way better than I expected.

Thanks again for running it, xeaon. I had a blast.

So I have a lvl 50 DP/WP who is my main and I love playing him. In his current build, I have the two combos going: Attack Vitals and Sweep, and then I also have the blinding feint attack.

The problem comes when I examplar down below 25 and lose one or both of the combos due to missing powers. He still does well but I miss playing 'following the orange circle' so I figured that I could make a second build solely for when I go below 25 or so.

So I turn to you, the scrapper gurus. Give me some ideas of some good builds with IO sets etc. I have around 1200 merits saved up, around 2500 AE tickets saved up and around 350 million inf that I could spend on this project.

I do have the AOE purple set (in my level 50 build, but could swap it out) and the melee purple set in storage that can be used in this build perhaps.

Blueside Hami raids are done Sat (6:00 EST) Wed (8:00 EST) and I think Mon (7:00 EST?) The zone can sometimes fill up up to a half hour earlier.

Redside Hami raids are done on Sun and Tue but I'm not sure of the times.

There are usually Rikiti raids done sunday and monday nights, starting around 8 i believe.

The one thing i ended up doing for the Volcanic badge was I oroed down and ran Julius the Trolls first mission but set it to -1 level and 8 people, no bosses. All the magma lords would be lts but still count. I had wanted to pop shivans and/or a HVAS but that was when they were busted. Instead since I was a DB/WP scrapper I just ran from mob to mob killing the magma guys and ignored everything else. I would kill all the bosses, quit the TF, start it again and repeat, took a while but I finished it in the afternoon.

Still working on the toxic badge but the new ninja run certainly helps with the street hunting

The White Dwarf has no forward walk cycle post-patch unless he jumps--after taking any other action, such as an attack, he goes sliding across the floor.

You'll probably want to /bug that and maybe drop a PM to BaBs or post in his animation bug thread about it
