    I always thought a cool MM powerset would be something along the lines of "Institutional Academia", where you were basically a Professor and your minions were grad students who would do anything for a letter of recommendation. The upgrade levels could be called "term paper" or something like that. It would be easy because they could just look like grad students, but their powers could be any combination of things- beam rifles, ninja stars, broadswords, etc.

    ...

    Whatever! I'd play it.

    You guys are definitely going to want to hold onto your extra Ceramic Armor Plate salvage.

    K, I know this is not a blaster set, but I saw this the other day and it made me think of you, Spine.

    I saw a Trick Arrow/Dual Pistols defender. I asked him how he liked the set (with a little 'lol' under my breath) and he said that 'it's tough because i am always pulling out different weapons'.

    Obviously, this is redraw city. I don't think I could have even imagined something so frustrating.

    Anyway, I know it isn't a blaster set, but I thought I'd bring it up just cause it made me think of your thread.

    On one of my scrappers, I knew that I would have to draw aggro occasionally, so I took Provoke from the Presence pool, instead of confront. If you do this just make sure to put an accuracy slot in there, because unlike the natural taunts, the pool taunts require an accuracy check.

    Thank you for your kind replies!
    Try this: Energy/Energy, and when you get to 40s, try to get on an AV team and NOT get kicked!

    I made an Energy/Energy for my very first toon, not really knowing what to expect. I later started other builds and such, but eventually went back and leveled him to 50. I tell you what, some people get REEEEEAALLY picky about when/where you use KB. I don't really care, I mean, it's so much fun!

    If that doesn't work you can always just join a farm and go straight for the glowie =)

    DB/??

    POST-ACTION

    I have a dual blades/super reflexes that i LOVE. it's super easy to softcap SR on a budget, so i like to use him to speed through missions. just make sure you have alot of recovery, and you're golden.

    Hi guys.

    I love reading these Scrapper forums and seeing advice on al types of scraps, so I thought I'd come to you for advice on my next character.

    I wanted to make a new scrapper to level to 50 before the end of the summer, probably get pretty close before GR. I was wondering what kind of toon YOU guys like to play? Here's what I'm looking for:

    -I almost always play with a team of 3 or more people (usually a full 8). I love doing TFs and I only do PvP when I'm bored or drunk (so just leave that out of it).

    -If it's a little hard to level up, that won't matter, because I also plan on tuning it up once it gets to level 50 with full IOs.

    -Once I get tuned up, what I generally do with my best characters is speed run TFs, so this I will be keeping in mind. It doesn't have to be the ideal perfect speed runner, because I realize that with some work any scrapper can be good at that.

    Here's what I hope to stay away from, for whatever reason (probably because either me or my brother already have one of that type):

    Dual blades, Super Reflexes, willpower, invuln, shield, energy melee or defense

    Now remember, I like running TFs with friends, and probably the only thing I'd be doing solo is easy TFs

    **note: I was heavily leaning toward electric armor, but it's totally up in the air now. I was also concidering broadsword. (thought- could these go together, even though they both use up alot of end?)

    Thank you for your concideration =)

    Ok, this is the build I'm currently running, and it's working out very well. I mostly just use it for speed-running TFs every night, and every now and then I do some AVs with friends, or solo lower-level TFs.

    **Note: please don't get frustrated with the fact that I have low regen, or low recharge time. My -main- use for this guy is to speed run LG or ITF without a travel power besides ninja run, hence why I put so many run speed boosts in. I also wanted to keep it relatively cheap, and the purples that I have in I stole from my brother's old toon, so those can be easily replaced with something else.

    **Furthermore, I KNOW people will get upset when they see that taunt that I threw in there. Frankly, I don't have a real reason for doing that, I am just used to playing a tanker, and I have found that using the tank taunt is really good for pulling groups away from poor, defenseless trollers, and then continuing on my way. Feel free to nix it if you have any other ideas.

    I'm open to any other hints that anyone might have. Thanks

    >Edit<
    I also wanted to add that, the levels of the powers I have shown do not reflect anything. I didn't actually respec to powers in that order, I just threw everything up there, so they will be out of order.

    Couldn't really get the link to send me to the right thread, but I figure that this would be the place to post, considering we could talk about it more here anyway.

    I think it would be cool to have a nunchuck option for dual blades. Now, I realize that this would add some issues, but not much more than the new options for Martial Arts, right? I mean all the moves say "Eagle Kick" or whatnot, but you can change a lot of them to be punches. So the naming wouldn't be an issue for this set, for now. There would have to be some kind of change to get them to dangle or whatnot, but all the actions and movements that you do with Dual Blades could be used to flail nunchucks around, right? Instead of 1000 cuts it would be like 1000 bludgeonings.

    Anyways, at least *I* think it would be cool.

    Thanks all! Currently hard at work getting $$ for these!
  12. pocky
    ok thanks for the tips guys i really appreciate it

    so, say that I actually have access to more money - would that completely change the idea behind any of this? dont worry about how much money, but dont specifically TRY to make it more expensive

    another note: i do have ninja run and feel super about just using that as a travel power, so ignore any unnecessary travel powers

    I recently got it in my head to try and go the route of a scrapper, and I started leveling a db/sr. Now, I'm not new to CoH, and I've used the Hero Designer plenty of times, but I am painfully new to this whole DB concept.

    I would appreciate any help with designing this guy's build, as he will be my fist scrapper that I actually pay attention to (my only other one was a bet to see who could get to 50 first on a double xp weekend).

    Any general build tips, helpful thoughts, or example MIDS layouts are appreciated!

    Thanks

    UPDATE: Oh, forgot to mention...
    I originally thought to use db as fast recharge rate and sr as good defense, but if there is a different mentality behind this kind of character, let me know!

    I am looking to spend somewhere around 300-350 million, so please try to keep the prices accordingly
