Took quickness as soon as it became available.
Once you hit 22 and get SOs in it, it should become perma.
(Hint: Take Quickness in the early 20's, it really helps) |
When you say, "it should become perma", You're talk about CTRL clicking the icon for Practiced Brawler so that it fires off every time it is ready? If not, can you please explain?
I believe the poster was referring to Practiced Brawler. To make a click power "perma" is to have it recharge faster than the effect wears off. Practiced Brawler has a duration of 120 seconds. If you put in enough recharges enhancements (usually two or only one if you have lots of global recharge) you can get the recharge time to less than 120 seconds. This way you will never be without the Mez protection from Practiced Brawler.
On my SR toons I put Practiced Brawler on auto (CRTL+click) so I don't have to keep clicking it.
Best regards,
Tommy Truestar

Making something perma is when you have a click power with a duration (Practiced Brawler, Dull Pain, Accelerate Metabolism, Phantom Army, Hasten, etc.) and you get enough recharge in it so that it recharges before it wears off. The word perma is a shortened "Permanent".
Practiced Brawler lasts 120 seconds. If you get it's recharge below 120 seconds you can activate it before the previous one wears off. That way, you have no gap in your mez protection. Practiced Brawler is the the only one of the powers I mentioned above that you do not have to go crazy with set bonuses to make perma. After Quickness, 1 Recharge SO should make it perma. I usually give it 2 recharges, just to give myself a cushion.
The cushion is in case I can't use the power for some reason, whether because I'm busy attacking or don't have enough endurance or what have you. Even if you have it on autofire (CTRL+click) you can override it. Any commands input by you will take precedence over an autofire power, so if you constantly have your next attack queued up it will not go off. That's why I give myself a cushion by putting more recharge in it than I really need, because if I'm in a long fight it may not go off right away and leave a gap in my protection.
Also, if you took Quickness as soon as it was available, do you have Stamina yet? It's pretty important for an SR scrapper, as they are kind of endurance intensive (especially after Quickness when your attacks are recharging faster)

At level 20 I had I taken all the leadership pool and tried to run all the toggles I had non-stop. Even not using any attacks I couldn't keep up the endurance to heal anything, and I hadn't taken the pre-requisites for stamina so I was going to have to get to level 26 before I could really play my toon the way I wanted.
I ended up deleting him after my friends stopped playing (one of them got an XBox), I wanted to do damage (I always a rogue/warrior type in previous games), and it occured to me that you could make a really good monkey costume in this game (there were no costume changes at that time).
I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.
