Quote:Yeah I agree except for me the 'home' content will always be the Isles. Every character I care about on my account is Villain and I love red side. I've had a few goes with Praetoria so far but eh It's not really blown my mind beyond the shiny stuff. There's been a few arcs so far that I've really enjoyed but there are countless Red arcs I love even more so I'm definitely not seeing it as being better.Originally Posted by Tally
The split between Praetoria and CoH...... the new game verses the legacy game...is exactly my problem with the GR expansion.
Praetoria does not expanded either Paragon City or the Rogue Isles, it is an alternative to the legacy game. All that wonderfully done development time that makes Praetoria so impressive was done at the expense of very little improvements to the core of CoH. Yes there are combined markets, tips and side switching; some nice improvements to the OLD game....but what could have been done to update and expanded CoH?
Praetoria is eating Paragon City's development budget; and I resent it since my CoH game home is in Paragon. If that is to be the future, the old game and reality is forgotten and Praetoria is expanded to be the entirety of CoH (as suggested by the OP), then this 66 month vet will find other entertainment.
Suffice to say I'm back to the Isles as per normal and haven't really gotten much out of GR but hopefully going forward we will see some work on both Paragon and the Rogue Isles. -
Trying to wrap my head around a new alt for GR and settled on wanting to try Claws. I suppose the secondary isn't set in stone but my current fav main is a FM/WP brute which I'm I seriously enjoying.
So... the question is Brute Claws vs Scrapper Claws. Any insight? I was and usually lean toward Brute and with WP at least I know I'm getting some bonus there but I've just looked at Mids and seen Scapper claws has different and superior recharge ... ummm and I'm probably also DOOMing about the fury nerf and wondering if Scrapper is going to be the clear winner from a damage point of view... again Claws.

I'm new to CoX and I've rolled up a Spines/Nin Stalker on Virtue.
So far it seems fun... I've been mostly playing duo with a friend who's rolled up corruptor.
My question is... from my reading around I've gotten the impression that a lot/most people play Stalker for pvp... I dont know if I'll get into this (I might very well do) but ignoring that aspect for now... is Stalker viable in pve? Will I have trouble grouping and such for TF's and such?
Also a spines question... at lvl 8 my damage is definitely worse compared to my Corruptor friend but it looks like I might just have to wait until I get some of the later skills (impale, ripper, throw spines) to really come into my own. Is this accurate?
I've also read a fair amount of negative comments around about stalker outside of a pvp context but I don't know how much of this is outdated etc.
Basically.... for pve focus... and by that I mean just going through the content as a duo or in a team... and hopefully doing the big team stuff like recluse strike force ... am I going to struggle with stalker? not getting invites etc... Or will it be fine. Since I'm new etc I'm not necessarily concerned about being the best possible etc.. I guess another option could be brute. Would that be a better choice?
Thoughts?
Thanks!
