Anyone else enthused about an Elec scrapper?

Thread from the Stalker Forum


As always for things on Test, it's subject to change.
Thanks Sarrate,

I can't find anything on these new boards, they are "worsesome"


Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

I understand being cautious, but is there any reason you can think of that would keep us from getting the same thing Brutes have?

That's what all the boys say.






and yes I have no idea what that means.

and *raises hand* I'm really looking forward to electrical melee! it will be my second scrapper ever (but I'm going to count it as my first since my original I deleted due to super reflexes woes).

Then again, I'm really liking my Fire/Fire scrapper after I got his S/L def up (a lot), so maybe I'll do the same for an Elec/Elec scrapper.

CRITICALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > Tanks *insert fart noise*

I'm winding my day down at work with a CHOCOLATE MOCHA so you get a lot of exclamation marks.

Well, for starters, Chain Induction and Lightning Rod both work better for Brutes than they do for Scrappers (or Stalkers) simply because those powers can't crit. I honestly hope that something can be done to fix that.

It's less a question of whether we'll get a completely different version (in much the same way that Tankers, Scrappers, and Brutes all have different versions of Fire Melee) and more a question of what the attributes of the powers within the sets as they apply specifically to the Scrapper AT will be.

Sure [Chain Induction] can, unless you were talking about the chained parts and not the initial shock. In that case, you'd be correct. I don't think setting those powers up to crit would be hard, just make them summon a new pseudo pet with the crit baked in.

Of course, for Stalkers LR has the added benefit of not breaking Hide, so that may be their compensation for the crit...

I was referring to the secondary attacks not being able to crit.

I was thinking the same thing. Oh how I would luv it if short circut replaced lighting clap. (I'm allowed to dream) Also, with fire melee, scrappers got the same powers the brutes have but in order the tankers got their powers with only cremate replacing combustion. I hope scrappers get the brute's order and not the stalker's order. Waiting that long for chain induction would be sicking. Unless we really did get short circut. Then I'd just force myself to deal
