Are Scrappers Broken?

Ha, didn't know that. Was it always like that when they added it to AS? Curious no one ever mentioned that in all those threads in the open beta.

No idea. I didn't even think about looking at that till just now. I new it functioned by granting a temporary power (I'd looked at that before), just never thought to look at the maximum. It's a little surprising, though, considering there is another unresisted tohit debuff that will stack from different users (Flash Arrow) and it's a lot easier to get off (ranged, autohit, no hide-requirement). Of course, Demoralize doesn't have a target cap...

Most would be, yes, but not the Stalker demoralize:

The moment after I posted as I remembered its unresistable then deleted, you must of caught it just in time. If you look a couple of posts up I mention also that I barely no a damn thing about Villains.

What does this tell you? Not trying to be a Scrapper hater or calling for a nerf (Having lots of fun with my latest scrapper.) , but it’s hard to deny that all other AT boards seem to make a point of comparing themselves to Scrappers… Scrapper envy can be seen almost daily in every single AT board. Yet, how often do Scrappers exhibit AT envy?

—Granted, some of my over-generalized statements above may be out of date or exaggerated, but nonetheless, just something I’ve consistently observed in the boards.

Food for thought.
I'll say the same thing I tell the guys in the gym when I'm changing, it's genetics...


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

We did an non Mo Run tonight as we weren't serious, plus a change in team, ya know what with ppl making it an that, just to see if there is anything different about this issue before we go for it. I actually experienced a couple of quirks that wasn't in our favour, LR appeared to get stuck for one! But we have got something out of it to put things in our favour.

Because it was a non Mo the list of defeats would read 0 despite our having 20 I think this time (from trying new stuff). 2-4 defeats fighting LR I think which can be sorted, no defeats our side with the rest of the inner circle, I was on form and at the last point when I said pop insps, just when he calls for back up, there wasn't really many on some people and then I just use the debuff nuke. Our only temp used and a call made on the fact that we weren't leaving nothing to chance. Next time hopefully an Mo run but I think we will have to do it in an afternoon.

I didn't get a pic so have to use Uzzi's. I am one with star in yellow but atleast ya can see our team make up on that run but it doesn't matter what scrappers you use and I have worked out the exact level of survivability required now (from the trying of new stuff).

Edit: Just to add Uzzis insp tray looks like it could of supplied others the lil devil.
