I'd like a scythe melee set some day, but that's for another thread.
-
I'm thinking I'll go for perma-Energize and stack that with Rebirth. Can't wait to play a KM/EA Scrapper!

Except for claws, yup.

Strong and Pretty Criticals are not a joke.

Scrappers can get Super Strength once Brutes get Spines.

Quote:Scrapper SS would have to have Criticals for me. That's a huge part of the appeal of the AT for me. If some attacks for some reason would not be able to be balanced with a Critical component, make it benefit the Scrapper in another way like KM's Concentrated Strike does.Originally Posted by Nihilii
Speaking strictly from a performance point of view:
I'd play scrapper SS even if Rage became BU.
I'd play nothing but scrapper SS if it gets a direct port (even assuming no crits at all). -

You can do this now with any set with kinetic melee. I double stack build up for with AS all the time. Just build up concentrated strike from hide, placate build up AS. Its a bit harder to do when everything has its attention on you but it works.
-
That isn't in the style of Vanguard weapons though. Don't get me wrong, I'd like that as a differently named weapon - one that isn't unlocked via Vanguard Merits or the Vanguard Booster Pack.

Quote:Titan Weapons are supposed to be large. That's kind of the name of the set.Originally Posted by Mezmeara
Gads Zooks! That's horrible! Pleasepleasepleaseplease say it ain't anything like what the Titan Weapons are *really* going to be like.
I'm aprehensive enough about this new power set looking extremely "compensative" without it also looking absurdly impossible to actually use!
Bad enough having to tryand share space and maneuver around the MM pets that are running around, now we're going to have to maneuver around weapons too?!
YUCK!
What else would you want them to be? -

THAT's gonna leave a mark.

...it's going to take me to the next level. YEEEAAAHHHHHHH!!
Sorry. -
Quote:I think that's a bad idea. There's been no word on if the weapon redraw problem is being worked on, and any meaningful attack chain with something like Broadsword and this Pistol APP would be butchered with two redraw animations.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I don't think making this into a full set is a good idea. Hybrid sets rarely are. Much more realistically, I'd like to see a Pistol(s) Epic for Scrappers, Brutes and Stalkers. With potentially up to four pistol powers on top of 9 powers of ANY type of sword, mace, axe or anything else you envision should be enough, I think.
If gun and blade is to be done, it needs to be a character wielding both, a gun in one hand and a melee weapon in the other. -
Sneaky got tossed out the window when Broadsword was proliferated over to them. I can still hear their Headsplitters and Disembowel attacks from miles away, going CRUNCH! Between Katana and Broadsword, the latter is definitely focused on strength as opposed Katana's finesse.

Quote:That's not terribly balanced, now is it? One Stalker Secondary is allowed to massively boost Assasination damage without any outside buffs? And what about the damage from Burn and Rise of the Phoenix? No Stalker Secondary with a Damage component has anything beyond Trivial Damage.Originally Posted by BrandX
Why wouldn't they? Only one power needs to be replaced when ported for Stalkers, and that's to get Hide in place.
Blazing Aura would follow suit with all past sets, and allow Fire Stalkers to be REALLY FRIGGIN NASTY with their Assassin Strikes -
Quote:That's because the rest of you just lurk the forums with Hide on.Originally Posted by Kioshi
Scrappers will keep rage, but I'm betting that if the set also goes to Stalkers they'll get BU and nobody will care because only me and like, 5 other forumites will be complaining
In all seriousness, I believe all Stalker Primary sets are given a standard Build Up so as to not overpower Assassin Strikes. When Stalkers get Fiery Aura, will they get to keep Fiery Embrace? I'm not sure they will be able to. -
There's no proof presented that the developers would deliberately change Rage. For Scrappers or everyone.
Hell, I could say a little bird told me that they're removing the ability to stack Rage for Brutes and Tanks just so they can put it on Scrappers. The only recent confirmation of any kind on the matter is what Synapse has said today on the Ustream; that Super Strength on Scrappers is happening eventually. As I suspect is Ice Armor, Energy Melee, etc. -

I keep wishing Conserve Power would get changed to Superior Conditioning >_>
My Broadsword/Shield Defense Scrapper needs to have a word with you. I use that as a recovery tool after One with the Shield "crashes"!
-
That scaling Recharge buff sounds aaaaaaawesome. Playing the KM/EA I've been waiting to make should be tons of fun!
-
Quote:I've chosen Scrappers most of the time because of what they represent - severe punishment without conditions. There is no expectancy of me to tank, though on my high end Scrappers I can. However trivial it may be, there is no ramp up in my capacity to deal pain, and sometimes a Scrapper snaps and does double the damage. There is no sneaking and placating neccessary, it's all straightforward Scrapping. If my target is still vertical, I will arrange for it to be neatly horizontal.Originally Posted by Kenteko
If you're going for damage, just pick what looks the most fun.

Don't forget the Dominator powerset in the works.
DOOOOOM upon your Altaholic problems! Doom I say! -
I'd love an energy blade like that too! Just not as a Vanguard weapon.
With this concept model I tried to keep it in line with how the other Vanguard weapons look. Should they ever decide to make a Vanguard Titan Weapon, I believe they should stay as close to the Vanguard look as possible.

Quote:The critical difference is with the concept the blade is held from the emitters that clasp onto the flat of the blade. A guard that tries to hold a Vanguard blade from the sides would be sliced through the first time anyone makes a swing, since the Vanguard blades are a nanometer in sharpness.Originally Posted by Narkor
Looks pretty similar, to be honest.
