No awesome would be that physical perfection was a clone of shadow meld, but I doubt the devs would be that generous.

If they do this (as I'm hoping they will), I get jot down another thing on the List of Things the Devs Stole From Umbral.

I'm also curious as to whether Darkness Mastery is going to be getting Shadow Meld (makes a lot of sense) or Darkest Night (also makes a lot of sense).

Scrappers w/ Darkest Night......*thoughts on world domination come to mind*....

Of course it would be world domination for the good of the world... we wouldn't rule it with an iron fist or anything like that......but rule it we would.

Lisa comes into thread, and reads the above list....Fireblast, Fireball, Melt Armor, Char, hmmmmm.....sounds like my Dark/Regen is going to get herself experimented on

Thank you Devs, for second builds

Unless they give Dark Mastery Shadow Meld (probably not happening, which is very unfortunate). In which case my first build would stay Dark Mastery, and my second will simply switch from Weapons to Fire. My Dark/Shield Scrapper is definitely moving somethings around to get Fire Mastery, though.


11 months of all-nighters, messy feeding sessions, bath fighting and realizing just how good my son's lungs work, and I am still convinced he is the crowning accomplishment in my life. What in the blue HFIL is wrong with me?

I wonder how long I'm going to be wondering what Physical Perfection is.

I read somewhere it is a half strength version of health/stamina combined into one power.


YMMV---IMO

That will be hard to choose for my spines/dark... fireball sounds tasty... but i'll probably have to drop boxing/tough/conserve power to get fireball. On the other hand my blue bar would be happy with another recovery power. Too bad fireball is not on the first or second power pick for the fire epic pool.

Doubling up on endurance assistance tools in a single APP sounds highly doubtful, especially if it's a passive that will accept both the Perf Shifter and all of the Heal IO uniques. My money is on it being a defensive self buff of some kind. Either a renamed Shadow Meld or a +res version of it.

If it was a recovery buff, my end-starved BS/SR would be all over it.

I was thinking dissapointing. Mind you, I could find use for the power if it turned out to be a regen/recovery passive. I would rather it be a def power like a clone of shadow meld. I find it cheaper to slot for recharge exclusively then it is to go for recharge and def. This would work well with /regen and res based sets. Unless the 5th power in darkness mastery is shadow meld. If that be the case, then I'd be able to deal with that. Even though I'd rather have to get foc acc or conserve power over pet gaze or torrent. But that's just me.

I don't know why people think that Scrappers are likely to get what has gone in Stalker pools. Scrappers and Brutes have much more in common. Shadow Meld and Hibernate were given to stalkers to let them be a little more defensive, Scrappers don't have a defensive weakness the way Stalkers do.

Well, hibernate is a tanker power given to stalkers. Brutes get a high dmg ST and several aoes. Stalkers get a moderate dmg ST attack, a ST hold, and a snipe. Scrappers get a ST hold, moderate ST range and aoes. That puts scrappers in the middle so anything the other ATs get short of the high dmg range and the snipe is pretty much doable.

Stalker's defense is far from weak. Low hit points yes. Weak defense no.

Ahh. So true. That's what I get for posting half sleep. Stuff slips my mind. How could I forget the goodness of ball lightning and... Damn I can't remember the other two. I guess ill edit later. I'm sure someone will refresh my memory.

I'm excited about Blaze Mastery but I really don't think I can work it into my Spines/Fire. It's pretty tight as is.

I could however use a +regen +recovery passive. Even if only half the benefit of stam and health.

Water Spout, though I don't think it's used for damage...is a great control AoE, then there's the one from Black Scorpion...lolz >.>
