I guess I will have to install mids on my newer comp and take a closer look. It would be really nice if there was a simple character sheet that just listed the total package.

We all know pvp is lackluster already.

In addtion to def, DA can achieve some pretty solid resists as well.

If I have time tonight I will look you up and see what we can do.

I will correct you on the fact that the "known" scrappers haven't gone nuts on this set. And there is a reason. There is a rule of BS/DA that quite a few of those that are decked out tend to keep. We don't talk about it. Sure you can tweak using MIDs, but that will not compare to learning the set.

Hee! Gotcha. So if I join the club, do I have to promise not to say anything about what I can accomplish with it?

[/ QUOTE ]

No promise required, but you may convert willingly to the code!

Yeah, I don't really care. I play what I want to play, no matter what the environment around me is.

I'm waiting for someone to step up and show us how good that combo is soon.

I'm nearly done with my DM/DA build and BS/DA is incidentally my next focus. I'm curious as to what you meant by this comment though.

I assume it means that he understands just how good BS/DA or Katana/DA could be, but none of us have really gone totally nuts with a build yet. Mine's at 29 now, so it'll be a while for me. Someone will definitely beat me to the punch. I know you're working on one. Powerforge is also working on one, and we know what he can do. I still need to review his build. (Sorry, Powerforge.)

I'll avoid the "pic's or it didn't happen" argument and go with the "if a tree falls in the woods" argument. What's the point of doing something awsome if nobody knows about it. Share with us ... there's no harm in it.

Besides... I14 gave us at least 2 very benificial IO's to /DA (another +3 defense, and that +endurance proc for dark regen). I13 did a lot for helping sets get more +defense from IOs. Whatever you could do before, you should be able to better now.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am not concerened with a pics or it didn't happen argument and I don't play for the accolades of others. BS/DA has never been a FOTM and I am happy that way.

I did post a build once before after I did the RWZ challenge. It isn't my final build but it is a pretty strong one.

I will list some things off the top of my head: I run 9 toggles constantly and do not have end issues, 32.5% global recharge. Attack Chain is Headsplitter, hack, parry, disembowl, hack, parry. Def/Resist equates to capped mitigation in nearly all scenarios.

1500 is a good number in my book. A strong build can get 4000 tickets in the same time a strong build can get 20 merits.

I question your defintion of "hard" because the majority of ticket missions that genereated lots of tickets were far from "hard".

I never see posts on Dark Armor or any recommendations for DA. I really love the look of Cloak of Fear, even though it sucks now....so I hear.

Is there a buff incoming for DA or was there one, or just a nerf?

[/ QUOTE ]

Dark Armor is perfect the way it is. Most people don't like the "complexities" of the set.

CoX is the only MMO I couldn't ever stick it out to reach 50. Everquest, DAoC, LoTRO, WoW all capped out toons.

CoH I peeter out at about 43. Thats pretty wierd.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry, you lost all credability when you effectively stated in your post Everquest leveling is LESS of a grind than CoH. The term 'jevel grind' was COINED by the player of EQ. (EQ was my second MMO after Meridian 59) and if there was RVER an MMO that is a shining example of purposely DEV created player timesinks to slow leveling in an MMO, EQ was it. Played it for 5 years before finally coming to my senses.

[/ QUOTE ]

You beat me to it. Any EQ player would find that statment laughable.

Arc Name: The Disturbance
Arc ID: 5912
Creator Global: @Transhade
Difficulty Level: TOUGH solo. Extreme otherwise. A good stress test of your character. Not recommended for anything but a 50.

Synopsis: Dark Elves have come to town.

Estimated Time to Play: 3 short missions 30 minutes (was on invicible with tanker for time run)

Don't make me crack my whip! ;p

Now we need fanboy to clean up the list.

Throws some fear to Desmodos. =)

Bug: Dark Armor/Oppressive Gloom received the same 12.5% damage boost as all other scrapper powers in issue 5 - problem is this power does damage to the scrapper, not enemies - InfernalNight, 2005-08-03 - Castle says this doesn't seem to be a huge difference - still, was this intended for what should have been a buff? - 2005-11-18 - all damaging powers work off of the Scrapper damage scalar, so it is logical that OG is affected. Should it be affected? Castle has to answer that - SF

This issue should really be removed from the list. The damage from OG at its current levels is no way breaking OG and really is fine at the level it is at.

Bug: Dark Armor/Cloak of Fear is not properly enhanced by fear duration enhancers at least in PvP, probably not in PvE, though accuracy enhancers do work - Aeryn, 2005-10-16 - Castle says 'not certain what this means' - but that it has a low base accuracy - 2005-11-18

Is someone trying to say fear duration enhancers do not make someone feared longer in PVP?.

My three and a half year likes to play "super heroes". She managed to get the isolator badge on her hero "little baby".

She has an amazing knack of getting to independence port to find lusca aka the "monsie"

She loves riding the elevators and knows that the hosptial ones only go down so she has to find trouble to goto the doctor to ride the elevator again.

The scariest thing is she keeps asking to goto Pocket D.....

KEEP HER AWAY FROM VIRTUE'S POCKET-D!!!

Otherwise child protective services will be after you.

That is what scares me. I play on virtue. Although she got the notion during the winter event because of the snow and the floating truck.

I am hardly trolling. Just because there are people who are rabid anti healing ablility does not mean that when someone points out a piece of positive information about healing is a troll.

This board has a mob mentaility that continuosly is feuled by certain people to bash healing abilities. That is just trolling on a massive scale.

I am sure everyone who says Defenders aren't to be healers would cry to hear that during installation the screen explaining defenders it states that Defenders Heal and buff in that order.
