Well, first off, welcome back!

Secondly -- yes, the game has changed A LOT! Between the invention system and the added bonuses of IO's, and all the powersets, you've got some catching up to do!

A good spot to start might be the "Guide to Player Guides" at http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=122411 -- while I didn't see any spines/invuln guides under the scrapper guides, there's some about spines and some about invuln in there: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=112231 (Despite having close to 30 scrappers myself, I haven't got any of either powerset -- yet!)

You might also check out Sections X and XI of that first link above on "Respecs" and "Inventions -- Enhancements, Recipes, "Loot," and The Market."

And of course, you might try searching this forum for "spines/invuln" and see what others have come up with recently -- good luck and again, welcome back!

"ZOMG yes!" and /e facepalm for not thinking of that myself.

If I had a dollar for every pad of paper I used before Mid's...after Inventions came along Mid's became pretty much a necessity for me -- and it totally rocks!

What a great time to come back for you, spines just got a whole lot purtier. And it wasn't too many issues ago that /Inv got some nice new tweaks as well. I haven't played one before, but I can only image how nice a well slotted spines/inv scrapper would run. I'm sure there will be some good mids builds posted up for you before long.

Good luck and welcome back.
