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!

If it wasnt linked here than I had no way of knowing it was around. I just went back to the last update I did in April and there was no sign of it. Im sorry it didnt get included but the next time I update the list I will get it in.


 

Posted

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT where's the dual blades guide? :P :P :P

Posted

Well, just to add a link here to my guide. The last guide to DM/SR is for issue 3, and fairly brief at that. My guide is....not brief.


 

Posted

Not really a guide so much as a treatise on the nature of scrappers, but I thought it might do well to be linked here. For one thing, scrappers still seem to enjoy reading it.

On The Care And Feeding Of Your Scrapper


 

Posted

I just realized, Im going to have a lot of updating once you Dual Blade/??? and ???/Willpower scrappers start the guides to the sets


 

Posted

Anyone have a Dual Blade/Willpower guide yet? I am just building my toon and would like some advice.

Do we know if anyone has been kind enough to post a DB/WP build? Just curious. Thanks!

One thing I hated about it so far is the lack of ENDDDDD. Need Stamina AND Quick Recovery at this rate.

Pics or it didn't happen.


Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?

Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?

Did you purposely make it so no one can see what enhancements you took? Cause if not, you need to change the colors man.
