I'd like to make a claws scrapper, but I'm not sure which secondary to pick...

I was thinking either Invuln or Willpower, any suggestions one way or the other?



Thanks!

I love my Claws/Regen. Fast and furious. Not indestructable but still pretty damn resilient. And the redraw time on claws is reasonable compared to other weapons. I chose Regen over Willpower due to the amount of knockback that Claws can do sometimes which may undermine Rise to the Challenge. Same could be said for Invincibility. Plus the knockdown/back can also give Regen a chance to pump up your HP points while the foes get back up.

That said, Claws is a fairly forgiving set so it'll probably go well with most things.

Well Claws/anything will be a good Scrapper. I would say of the 2 that you said I would go with Claws/Willpower. Claws/WP will be better lvling up then Inf. I like /Inv some people don't they say it as toon many holes. Both will should be fun to play

With time and Inf claws/Invul would be my ideal scrapper, but putting in the post 50 time on it is not something I would like to do.

I loved my Claws/WP scrapper, it was my favourite toon to level. But as much as I muck around with it since hitting 50 I cant really get into the late game content with it.

Inv has the nicer destination and WP has the nicer journey IMO

Willpower really doesn't add anything to Claws. Invul at least can give it a tohit bonus which helps FU hit. Willpower really is Invul and Regen in a mashed together form so I don't consider either one to be that far different.

Claws/Fire



Think about it. What is deadlier than a Claws Scrapper? A Claws Scrapper that is on fire.

... but if you really want me to pick between the two, I guess I'd say Willpower.

Willpower offers absolutely no reason to put the claws away, ever.

Aye. It is one of the reasons why I favor Willpower. No interruptions from my secondary. All attacks, all the time. I love Claws/WP.

Must resist urge until I-16. Then the claws/wp can be built. Going to dump my db/wp scrap and ss/wp brute.


Be well, people of CoH.

This, if only because I have one too. :P

But, on a serious note, there is a synergy between FU and the damage auras of Fire and Dark. The always-on damage bonus, especially double-stacked, make those powers worth the End.

Thanks all, for the wonderful advice.

I think I'm going to stick with Claws/Invuln (as I plan on rolling a Claws/WP Brute on Blueside when Going Rouge hits).

It's worth mentioning that Claws has a few Knockback powers.
And both Willpower and Invun gain bonuses from having your enemies close (ie RttC)

Claws as a set is also one of the ones that benefits from high recharge (stacked follow-up = hella damage)

So with all that said i'd prolly say you're best of with Super Reflexes.

(That said, properly tweaked and Invun is so tough you'll need to pick up Taunt, and never want a tank on the team again)

I still love my claws/sr even tho fire/sr just screams "BURN BURN BURN!"

problem is i just cant seem to find a build suitable in mids for my fire/sr to pimp out. unlike my claws/sr 2 -res procs and a whole lot of other stuff.

Ditto to the 100th degree!
