quick question- anyone happen to know which would be better?----spines/DA or Fire/Fire tank...they both seem to have amazing AoE possibilities and Fire/Fire seems to have almost equal damage especially with build up and fiery embrace, but the S/DA scrapper has some awesome AoE's as well, just wondering what you people prefer ty all

Marker. All Scrapper Guides updated to this point.

My beloved Broadsword has a guide listed with every secondary but Invulnerability. If someone has a guide which takes account of having both, I would much appreciate it.

Quick Question, is a Katana/Regen Scrapper useless? I played COH when it first came out and that is what i choose and he was my main. All my friends made fun of me for choosing a useless character. Playing COH again, i much perfer Broadsword/Inv.

Thanks for the help.

No. Broadsword and Katana are equivalent powerwise, although they play differently. Invulnerability is not what it once was.

Katana/Regen is a fine combo, especially if you consider Divine Avalanche. You can use that power to give your regen a chance to catch up as needed.

I don't think u can call any char useless, cept maybe the fire tanks now , Invul definetly is not what it once was specialy with the lower and caps and ED did a number on it. There have definetly been regens the have out lasted me in battle even one lvl below mine in the same missions would some times out last me. What really sucks is that the defense enhancements are only at a %20 as opposed to the usual %33 and u can have 3 , 33%(health) and u'll be at almost %95 (regen) but invul u an have only 3, %20(defense) totaling barely %56(invul) any more and u're throwing away slots. So fast healing ,regeneration, instant healing can get %95 from 3 slots while with invuls: temp invul , unyeilding, resist phys,unstoppable,resist energies, resist elements All get nicely nerfed by the lame %56 3 slot.

I still think BS maybe the most devestating single target melee attack set in the game, with the help of critical hits and build up i've never seen anyone else i've been teaming with able to single shot the amount of times i've been able to. I know i've definetly teamed with all the scrapper sets but can't vouche for their slots of course. Naturally ED did a number on this power set too but thankfully its across the board.

Why do you think this is a "guide" ? It's your one-flavor build that, frankly, is not very well thought-out. Please remove the "guide" moniker and perhaps use "build".

Just a suggestion,

I've updated the Divine Avalanche Guide to take account of the ED changes. The new guide can be found here.

Wrath smash good.

I followed your link to the guide and read it...it is utterly amazing and incredibly informative! I have an MA/Regen scrap that I use and no doubt will benefit from your suggestions and insights (based on your trial-and-error testing of the AT).

Thanks a ton!

FYI, for those that follow the guides, as of 1/30/2006 I have updated mine for the upcoming Issue 7, made it ED compliant, and included some PvP notes in the latest entries.

good stuff. one thing id' suggest since you have SJ: why not take health instead of hurdle? you can get about 80%+(?) regen rate when 3 slotted..since you're a regen scrapper and all

I've updated my old Spines/SR Guide for I5 and I6, finally. This procedure was quite an exercise in patience, as well as mental and emotional stability .

Thankyou Pink!

I was actually looking at your guide recently and wishing that it was I5 updated (more like pulling my hair out about it, but hey).

Thanks for updating!

Yes, please repost the Dark darkity build. Or does anyone else have a dm/da or a kat/dm build?
