Well that sucks.. I don't think I want energy aura anymore.
Im also accounting for Hide toggle that if it was removed to switch for something else would surely be changed also for a def power.
Additionaly there is a self heal on the set that adds a lot of survivability.

Why do you think i been advocating for Ninjitsu instead 
Only reason i want tankers to get Energy Aura is to fill their lack of synergy with Energy Melee. I already went ahead and "buffed" all the numbers in a spread sheet to Tanker Level numbers and the set looks almost as bad as Fire Aura (even accounting Fire Aura's Self heal)

Brutes only have one additional very mild resistance passive in trade for hide.
And a stealth aura that grants def (5.85 if 3 sloted)
Energy Stalkers dont get that.
-.-; Yeah.. screw that.
How does SR stack up against EA?
I consider it to be better than Super Reflexes thanks to it's self heal. Def numbers are bit lower than SR but the self heal is GOOD. Enhanced is about 50% heal every 30 seconds. Its just like Regen's Reconstruction. That alone beats the small diference the set may have at the side of SR
Actually, if my numbers are right (and i do note they have a rather big chance to be wrong since im taking them from a hero planner), once you account for the self heal and the def, a Ninjitsu Scrapper would perform darn close to Regen

EA doesn't have a self heal.

You misread what I was asking.. but it sounds like SR is better than EA..
Meh..
::Makes an SR scrapper and pretends it is an energy field. ::
This discussion is exactly why 'the man' doesn't want us to know the math of the game, (curse him).
Ignorance is bliss.

Some of the 'dead horse' threads ought to be pretty bloody by now what with the constant bludgening.
What would a raving insane carrion bird do with a pony? Wait for it to die and then dig in?
Ups sorry i tought you meant Ninjitsu against SR...
Energy against SR is 27.3 against all, so it's just slightly superior to Energy in all but Energy Damage
Yeah... but there's lots of new faces around here who aren't ignoring me and still getting upset... I been warned against making deliberate trouble...

*whisper* they're watchin' me... spyin'... with rays!

That doesn't have to be because of 'new' people. Although, if they're really new and can type, that's quite amazing, my almost 2 year old isn't taking to the whole 'potty' concept... But I digress. It may not be 'new' people, but rather forum regulars you've scared the heck out of by making sense ocaissionally.

....
And Energy Aura is one of the weakest sets in the game.
Oh and i think Scrappers MUST get the Shield Armor set (i say this because states noted he was still thinking if they would have it or not, they MUST have it)
[/ QUOTE ]
My brute likes EA fine.
Shield set would be very cool, if they did all the animations for it.
That might explain the insane reaction I've been getting today. Hmm...
I definately need some sleep. Everything makes sense and it frightens me no end!

I reject your "potty concept" and everything it stands for! All through out history tyrants like you have tried to force their "potty concept" on the oppressed masses. !!!
oh wait a minute, i thought you said 'party concept'. 
Never mind.
I posted my ideas for a Ninjitsu Scrapper set and Tanker Energy Aura set here.
I don't know you may think a AoE placate is good, but I think it would be awesome. It makes it so the enemy can't attack you for a short period of time, and it's an AoE! To me that's an awesome power. You could almost take an alpha strike with that. Starsman is right it might be too powerful now that I think about it, but I guess if it's not too powerful for stalkers it might not be too powerful for scrappers.
Also Ninjitsu base numbers are the same as SRs, and they get AoE defense in their second toggle. The idea I posted would have a bigger gap in AoE in the long run, but that's because their needs to be a weakness somewhere otherwise it's way better than SR.

Can anyone confirm or deny that I'll be able to store the verious level 51+ enhancements in my tray?

Grr. I'm so tired of people complaining about no content past 50. Do you guys also complain to Hollywood about no more movie after you fast forward to the end?

Ok someone should say it so I might as well do it. Some of us have been here a LOOOOOONG time and in no way rushed to get to 50. Some of them don't like to play alts for whatever reasons. These people have a right to voice their general concern or distaste for the lack of things to do with their characters, I just wish they'd so in a more constructive manner.

Where did this come from? We have been talking about getting various sets for scrappers and tanks. No complaints about no content past 50. At least not from ME.. which it seems you are replying to me.
I just wonder how when ever there's a mention of an update of some sort, it always digresses into complaints and comparisons and discussions of some sort of nerf/buff issue. I'm not upset, I just don't understand the logic of how it got to this point since there are no nerfs or buffs that I recall coming in I7.
I just wish there was more info on what's to come 
But all good things come in time.

Def numbers are lower than Ninjitsu's
[/ QUOTE ]
I have the distinct feeling I am being lied to..
[/ QUOTE ]
I believe a Dev mentioned that a ways back... may have been on the beta boards.
Let's see... the numbers I have (which I make no garantee for accuracy on them)
Energy (unslotted):
Without Overload = 12.5% vs all but Psi, Toxic, and Energy, 16.3% Def to Energy, 5.6 Res to Energy and Neg Energy
Overload alone = 45%% def to all but Psi
Ninjitsu (unslotted):
Withot Kuji-In Retsu or click powers: : 12.5% to Melee, Ranged, and AoE
Click Resistances (unslotted): 20% to Toxic, 12.5% to Psi
Kuji-In Retsu (alone): 45% to Melee, Ranged, and AoE
You could say that Enegery only has Energy over Ninjitsu, and Ninjitsu has Psi over Energy (becaue its attack type base), but there is the toggle Mez protection vs Toggle Mes protection in there too.
