My Scrapper Weekend :D

I've been on a big scrapper kick pretty much all Summer. After having only 4 level 50's as of Spring 2008 (when I got my first 50 villain) and no more added through Spring 2009, I've managed to hit 50 five more times this Summer, and not really because of AE, several of these were characters who were already in their 40's last year. Three of my new 50s were scrappers, giving me 4 level 50 scrappers, 3 of them on Virtue.

After hitting 50 a few weeks ago with my MA/Invul scrapper, I IO'd her out and had fun playing her for a bit. But then... I wanted to play a lower level character that could earn experience, and I wanted it to be a scrapper, and I wanted to stay on Virtue. Problem was... I was running out of Virtue scrappers to level.

I had a low level thorns scrapper, so in the last two weeks I gave her neat new thorns (much better than the old ones, I could never get into the old look) and played her up to level 28. I also had two different low level broadsword/shield scrappers, and didn't want to play both of them up but also I liked each for concept reasons.

Anyway, over the weekend I took one of those BS/Shield scrappers from level 8 to level 20. I got invited to Virtue's new scrapper channel. Then I created a new claws/DA scrapper (both sets that I've never really played to high levels) named Sewer Ratty, who I plan to only level in the sewers as kind of a fun challenge. I got her to level 10 in a single sewer run. Along the way it occurred to me that a support character might have been a better choice for such an experiment -- sewer teams always need support -- but the, it wouldn't be a scrapper. ^_^

Then, on my second account, I bought some new character slots. There was this old screen image that had been popping up all day for me (courtesy of Leandro's screen replacing program) that displayed an old low level tanker that I'd since deleted (because I had too many of the same type of tanker). I'd always liked that character's look, so after purchasing new slots, I created yet ANOTHER MA scrapper (I already have at least 4 to level 20 or higher) with the same look. I pacted her with the other broadsword/shield scrapper that I didn't necessarily feel like playing up, and I managed to get the pair up to level 9.

I also got invited to the new Virtue scrapper channel again, this time on my 2nd account. ^_^ They were doing an all-scrapper team at level 50 set to +4 in PI, which sounded like a lot of fun, but I was already on a team at the time.

I should add, virtually every team I was on this weekend had at least 3 scrappers and often 4 or 5. They're more popular than ever.

Anyway... that's 37 levels total on 4 different scrappers, and I have a nice new stable of low-to-mid level scrappers to play with again. I feel better.

Sounds like you had a productive weekend. I'm leveling two scrappers DB/Ela and Elm/regen. The DB/Ela I plan on leveling to 50 doing nothing but KHTFs. That one is on Virtue the other is on Protector. That reminds me... Virtue scrappers channel you say?
