Scrapper Guides and FAQs


Advent

 

Posted

Been trying to find stuff via Google cache, but so far there isn't much luck. The mods cleaned out a lot of the old stuff as part of switching over. I really hope they have this data stored somewhere and can get it put back in because that's a ton of important info just simply gone. The list of just the lost stuff in the defender forum is rather significant.

Well, I can't speak for Defenders, but the Scrapper materials seem remarkably well preserved, all the way back to I2 even. Here be a list, do tell me if I screwed anything up:

This thread is for posting Guide or FAQ links for Scrappers. Please create your guides in the "Player Guides" forum (since posts in that section do not roll off) and link the thread here. Also, do not post your guide in this thread - only the link to your guide. Here are a few to get you started from the Guide to Guides.

Failing any clear identifier from the poster, I will go by the original post date vs. Issue releases (I1: 6/30/04, I2: 9/17/04, I3: 1/5/05, I4: 5/5/05, I5: 9/1/05, I6: 10/28/05) - e.g., if it was posted in March/05, it is an I3 Guide.

Guides appearing here were gleaned from links posted in one of the "Guide to Guides" threads (the Scrapper GtG or the GtG threads in the "Player Guides" forum). I cannot sift through the hundreds of individual threads to find a posting, so be sure to 1) place your guide in the "Player Guides" forum, nowhere else and 2) post a link to it in a "Guide to Guides" thread!

This guide now has the most relevant information near the top and everything that was posted before I9 (May 1, 2007) is now down at the bottom. There is still some good stuff there, but just know that it is older information.Scrapper

nice save on my guide! updating the linky now.

It looks like my Guide "PvE Guide to Claws/Dark Scrapping (GGG247)" has the wrong tag on the above update. That tag takes you to someone else's Guide. Mine is located at http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=120216


Please try my arcs:

Arc# 63910 "Why Do Bad Girls Like Bad Boys?" (length=Long, levels 40+)
Arc# 401500 "How to Be a Successful Professional Criminal" (length=Very Long, levels 1-10)

Mis-paste ahoy! Bound to happen somewhere with that many links, good spot. Duly corrected, fixed an unclosed tag and added SpiderTeo's guide too.

No, because guns are for Not-Scrappers/Tankers/Brutes/Stalkers.


Seven years of heroism. Seven years of friendships. Seven years of saving the world. Seven years of virtuous selflessness.

Any Elec/Elec guides?


You pay to play. Having fun is ok. Kill Skuls or kill Crey. Hunt at night or in the day. Black or white or shades of grey. Play it your way. We have no say.

Check the brute section for now. I doubt anyone would post anything for scrappers since they are in some sense similar to brutes.
