oh yea, your question.... max out the claws/inv and then PM me the build so I'll be ready when mine hits 50.
Be well, people of CoH.

If I were you, I'd wait for Issue 16 and make an Elec/Shield scrapper.
I know I'm going to make one.
It'll be glorious.

Completely off topic but I didn't want to start a new post for this statement:
I suck at taking on AVs. I'm 0 for 5 against even con AV BAB. Those 1800 point hits are too much for me to deal with.
Maybe BAB is a bad choice. SS/Inv gets nice tohit buffs.
Dreck was a pansy.
Schadenfreude..... damnit, CASTLE!!!! Autohit PBAoEs REALLY tick me off, man!
Be well, people of CoH.
ele/shield was actually the thingI was saving up for, but since I already have a fire/shield thats going to be built for aoe come i26. So I might still roll me one of those, but it probably won't get a complete build.
Gonna have to see what kind of build I could cook up with my claws/inv. Doesn't look like it would even be that expensive. Unless I decided to get the pvp IO.
I am however looking at a very different DM/SD build that if my calculations are correct, could very well reach 330 DPS. I am somewhat tempted to see how it would play out

Ehh, I'll throw this out there.
I have a Kat/Inv gathering dust at 50 and just today I started thinkung about that combo.
Softcapping with one application of DA and all that.
Maybe?

PowerForge,
You know sometimes I wish I had Katana paired up with Inv instead of BS. I can't even dent a pylon on my current build. I just didn't see a good paring visually on a kat/inv.
A Katana/Inv would just be a nasty...nasty combo

I understand totally. At the time I created him the Iron Man movie was close to being released. I was pretty excited by the trailers and it wasn't much of a stretch to put together an Asain Iron Man type. Using power armor and the Talsorian blade.

Ok so how's this for a claws/Inv...
the ups...
170+ dps
45% s/l def, 37.5% f/c def and 41.9% e/n def with 1 foe on Invincibility
69.4% s/l res and 21+ exotic res
1777 HP with all the accolades (cap with DP on)
314% regen
sustainable endurance
Low cost - no purples
the downs...
170 dps?
no hasten or aidself
DP down for 30 seconds
Accuracy is a bit low but should be ok
No aoe capability
hoping with those numbers and a timely use of DP, that it should be enough to take on AV's.
I'll start putting the build on live later tonight and depending on the IO availability, should be done by this weekend.
And by the look of things, I might even have enough for another build... DM/SD maybe??? ;-)

Kat/Inv doesn't really even need soft cap to be able to solo most AVs. Mine was able to take on 3 of them at the same time and solo them all without insps/temps. |

It is a glorious combo
If you're interested in my build, check the guide in my sig.
On the topic, I'd also be interested to see what people come up with for Claws/Inv. I might try something myself, too...

Well I took my claws/inv for a test drive last night on an unfinished build (missing 2 lotg recharge and 2 zephyr). The damage aren't all that great, but wow Marauder could not even come close. Had to use DP once on Chimera as I was going in when he hit me with GD, but after that it was pretty much on cruise control. Still need to work on the accolades to shore up my endurace and get a bit more HP. Now I'm curious to try multiple AV's just to see how many I could do without a self heal outside of DP.
Just been bored lately... ;-)
Well maybe some of you guys could help me out on a new project...
I have roughly around 1200 merits and 2+ billion of influence just collecting dust...
My Claws/SR is completely IO'd out. My Fire/Shielder is completely IO'd out.
My BS/Inv, Kat/Fire, Claws/Regen and Claws/Inv has some decent IO's on them. Enough to run TF and such without completely suckin. I also have a Katana?regen at 50 with just regular IO's
Now I got some options here as to where I could blow all those to.
A complete build for any of those 5 I mentioned, or level up a new character.
Thinking maybe just going with the flow and level up my DM/SD - currently at 19 and been there for some time now. Maybe roll me a MA/SD, since the new animation thing looks like might be the one to have me finally sticking with MA.
I really have no plans of orlling up the new set coming on i16, so scratch that out.
Well anyways...
What do you guys think...
