ok, whos knows about scrappers then?
after my week off work Phy currently sits at lvl 21 and could now use some idea's with what to do next.

current build is:
Archetype: Scrapper
Primary Powers - Ranged : Katana
Secondary Powers - Support : Dark Armor

01 : Dark Embrace damres(01) damres(3) endred(9)
01 : Sting of the Wasp acc(01) dam(3) dam(7) acc(17) dam(19)
02 : Death Shroud acc(02) dam(5) endred(9)
04 : Flashing Steel acc(04) dam(5) dam(7) acc(17) dam(19)
06 : Hover fltspd(06)
08 : Swift runspd(08)
10 : Obsidian Shield damres(10) damres(11) endred(11)
12 : Build Up recred(12) recred(13) recred(13)
14 : Divine Avalanche acc(14) dam(15) defbuf(15)
16 : Dark Regeneration endred(16)
18 : Hurdle jmp(18)
20 : Stamina endrec(20) endrec(21) endrec(21)

now the slots are probably a bit wrong but afaik its sort of right.

so at my next lvl 22 he options would be:
get another attack (lotus drops)
more defense in either cloak of darkness or murky cloud
health
teleport foe

1 thing u may of noticed is that i dont yet have a proper travel power. i was hopin to just get by on slotted hurdle, swift and hover. obviously the main aim is to PvP so didnt really want to worry about turnin my travel power on and off when enterin combat. obviously i'm a bit slower than everyone else but i get there in the end

i originally was goin to take flight for concept reasons, shall i still get it or do u think its worth just stickin with slotted hover, hurdle, swift etc to get around. hover acts as a poor mans acrobatics and helps against knockback/down (doesnt resist it but it helps) or shall i just respec in the leaping pool?

i want to take either clock of fear or oppressive gloom. which 1 is better in pvp? or shall i take both? or neither?

and finally my attacks are going to be slotted 2 acc, 3 dmg. the secondary effects of katana reduce the enemies defence, if the slots are spare to six slot is it worth slottin for def debuff?

that is all

Try and fit Super speed in; Chives owns with this. This is just a suggestion, to consider but I reckon it should work well. Key binds will help here:

1) Your hovering above a target. With invis on.
2)Hit an attack to draw weapon, start to hover in.
3) Turn on fly and SS to get in close. WHen low to ground, turn off fly.
4) Switch off invis for stealth as you approach target and stack an attack.
5) Run past your target and let fly with your biggest hitting attack or Lotus drops (I might mean Divine Avanlanche here; which ever one is the parry attack) for the plus defence, then your biggest attack.

Your playing like a makeshift stalker, but with more surviability. With a Katana you need the element of Surprise as it's not the heaviest hitter which is why I'm suggesting this. But it's quick, so if you can pull this off and keep spamming your parry in between your hard hitters, you should be able to take a foe out and move on with little hassle!

Ok first thing is you need a travel power, mobility is a key point to nailing your opponent if you can't catch them you can't kill them this especially true for a close combat AT like scrappers. Out of the powers TP has the best getaway capability and shock value but requires some sloting and possibly hover if you want to use it well this works well with TP foe but a lot of people are getting wise to that trick and sorting defences against it. Flight is one of the most useful movement powers but also requires slotting as it is on of the slower methods, Air superiority is also useful as a lead up to this.

I don't know much about Dark def i'll leave that to others who no more, with the Katana You may ant to consider slotting 3 Acc and 3 Dam as accuracy is lowered in PvP all except Divine Avalanch put 2 to 3 acc and the rest def and put it on auto this will significantly increase your survivability in a fight.

I think looking at your build you will need to throw a lot of attacks to drop someoneas you don't get access to you serious hits till 26+ so a bit of defence or control in the form of TOF may be very useful.

Yeah This is the kind of thing i wanted to start happening in this thread

People get making PvP toons if your interested and join up now

TOF may be very useful.

[/ QUOTE ]
TOF? touch of fear????? if thats what you mean u've got the powersets confused. if it isnt then what is tof?


thanks for everyones replys. what i think i am going to do next is:

next power choice take flight, personally i can cope without a travel power altho i admit it would be useful, also i'm mainly goin to be teamin when enterin the PvP zones so i do need to keep up with my team mates.

at the moment i'm happy with my attack sequence and defense. so after flight i think i will taken hasten. by startin a fight hittin build up and hasten i'm hopin to do some good damage. takin hasten will also open up superspeed as another option should i want it later.

now whether or not this is a good idea or not i shall just have to see. i think i've got enough inf for a full set of lvl 25 SO's so when i do hit 25 and have taken those 2 powers i will just have to go into the pvp zones and find out. (i'll also be in the repsec lvl range if things do go wrong ).

its gonna be a long way to 50 so i'm only concentrating on the short term and the best strategys for my current level. in this case i think the best idea is to cause as much damage as quickly as possible, and uterlising my current attack cycle with hasten and buildup sounds like a good idea to me. once i get to 50 then i can look at advanced builds like usin stealth and ss etc etc.


 

Posted

Sounds like a sound plan tufty!

Rogue is PvP specific,m but I'm afraid He ain't gonna switch SGS. But when he hits 50 I may just have to roll another blaserf or you guys! But when you get to PvP ;evel, as I have said before, Let me know, and I'll help you own/pound you into freezingcold, dizzy oblivion!

Well I got the Charged Brawler and the Sonic Smasher now Electric/Energy Melee and Sonic/Electric. Will get them in to the S.G. along with Terra when I have the chance to.


 

Posted

i've decided to ignore flight and go with hasten and super speed as my next power choices.

thought up some keybinds so hopefully if they work i'll be on the enemie and causing some good dmg with 4 key presses i'll be wantin to test this soon so if anyone wants to be my arena guinea pig it would be helpful

Level 27 now Went to Bloody Bay yesterday and absolutely pwnd the villains there. then went to sirens where i was finding it harder to hold my own as i was SK'd up and the people i was fighting were Exemp'd down. But still lots of fun 4 Pips to level 28 and Power Boost! Then they'll be in trouble!

got lvl 22 yesterday and took hasten, was at the very end of the play time tho so havnt had chance to test what sort of damage i can do with hasten+buildup.

also now have to go and spend all my inf now on a set of SO's. will be ready then (with the exception of havin a travel power) to go into bloody bay.

how about we try and get together and have a late friday night session (obviously if your not too tired from all the screamin and u cud always use the excuse u r up in case the baby crys ) starting from about 10:30pm-11:00pm in bb for some villain pwnage .


 

Posted

Definately, i used the excuse of the crying to get up this morning so i can sit with ma laptop whilst rocking/feeding baby

Maybe I'll move Mouse from the Core. I really enjoyed tanking in S4. I may be weaker, but meh.


 

Posted

I'll try and get Rockley up to 15 to join you in BB.


 

Posted

well u've got just under 36 hrs so good luck


 

Posted

36 hours... ah!!!!!! 6 levels to go.


 

Posted

Whats the lvl range for BB?

@Tufty. The power cloak of darkness is a must for pvp. Not only does it give good stealth, but it gives a big perception bonus. Very useful. Spot those stalkers early.

I want to get into pvp and if you guys are around tomorrow night, I'll give you a shout. I can pully my MA/RGN over and I also have a troller growing up fast for pvp.

My global chat handle is @Dagar. so add me.

PS does anyone know how to change you handle?
