Solo Only, Do every mission.
So, I just created a scrapper with the intention of soloing every mission in the game.
|
I'll probably have to team up for TFs and stuff though. |
What level should I turn XP off on? 4,9,14,19,etc; or 5,10,15,20,etc? |
I went with Electric/Willpower, are there any powers that are bad? I was originally thinking of skipping the clap one, but it seems like a great mitigation tool, especially since WP is set and forget. |
Good luck! Try not to get eaten by a grue!

I'd be curious to hear how long it takes.
Also, the Praetoria stuff is hovering on the horizon.
And, do you count AE missions and newspapers? Because if you do, I doubt you'll ever finish, new content is being made faster than you can play it....

For solo-only play I would say skip Resurgence and Strength of Will: With even a moderate amount of added 'oomph' neither add much utility.
As for electric melee, do you want to concentrate on AOE or ST? Solo I'd point at AOE unless you're doing all this at base difficulty.... Honestly, if I were you I'd play at -1, 1 so as to leave xp on as much as possible.
I'd say skip jacobs ladder and confront from electric melee. JL is okay, but there's better AOE's in the set. (OMG, Thunderstrike!)
...I'll work up the bones of a build and toss it in here, see what ya think.
Here ya go, this is literally just five minutes of work in Mid's, bu Ifigure you will have plenty of time to work out what you wanna do along the way.
Obviously this is a 100 percent levelling build. The only thing I might change if I were you would be to take Air superiority early on, shifting most things back a level or two and dropping hasten at the top end.

Awesome.
I will do up to the bank for each level range I think. I don't think you can ever run out of radio missions. The temporary travel powers will be really nice to have though.

Er...
I was assuming you'd use Ninja Run. Which is why I bumped SJ back to 26. Without it hurdle/cj/temps will work, but might get a bit tiresome.
But then again, you're going to need a good long attention span for this project anyway.

(okay, technically there's a finite amount of combinations... but it's still silly to try)

I don't have the martial arts pack yet.
Also, I'm thinking about picking up stealth+ss so I can ghost some missions.
Good luck. Make sure you keep us posted on how you're doing.

Did this in I6 with a duo, was a pain then cause had to use debt as a tool. Now I guess the addition of content would make it impossible without turning XP off, so we're lucky to have that tool.
Good Luck

I wouldn't turn exp off just once you hit 50 oura the rest GL.
What others have said...adding...
- I've helped people by getting on a TF with them so they could start it and then quit. Never for a solo, usually for a duo.
- Snag a +stealth IO rather than waste a power on stealth. Unbounded leap is the cheapest non-click. You could get a dirt cheap teleport one and put it in rec-foe, but you'd need to do it every 2 min. An alternative is to use hyperphase and SS at the same time. Or Etherial shift. Each only lasts 30 seconds but you can't be hit.
- If solo, I can see taking every power in every power in both sets.
- I do reccomend the NR pack. I've only taken travel powers on high level respecs since then. Also, if you haven't bought a Raptor Pack, by crafting or FBZ, they're nice for safe navigation of dangerous zones and vertical movement.
- The only, ONLY time I managed to keep Lady Jane alive in the Midnighters arc I soloed it with and ill/storm controller. I think Ill/ is one of the best mish soloers due to the ability for Phantom Army to distract while you do the glowy, and sup invis is the best invisibility blue side in one power.
I've been doing something similar with a Claws/DA scrapper. She's around 24 now. I've just been going after all the story arcs, though. The Paragon Wiki page listing the arcs has been a big help.
Hmmmm, never done allt he story arcs my self, but it sounds like a cool idea.
Might make take a Claws/Invln or a Spines/Invln for this journey.

#1 slip past the group guarding her without freeing her. Clear out the entire rest of the map. THEN free her, and lead her to the glowy without engaging the ambushes at all.
#2 Free her, turn on stealth, ditch her. The ambushes get a bit wonky when you ditch an escort in all such missions. Sometimes they come for you, sometimes they just go to the spot the escort was standing when they spawned and then stand there. But one thing they do NOT do, is attack the escort if you use stealth to ditch the escort before the ambush engages in combat.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
nice.
So, I just created a scrapper with the intention of soloing every mission in the game. I have done this because I want to play through all the content. And with the new(for me) difficulty options, I can use power combos that would usually be more suited for a team. I'll probably have to team up for TFs and stuff though.
I have a few questions though,
What level should I turn XP off on? 4,9,14,19,etc; or 5,10,15,20,etc?
I went with Electric/Willpower, are there any powers that are bad? I was originally thinking of skipping the clap one, but it seems like a great mitigation tool, especially since WP is set and forget.
Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.
I was going to just orobouros my way through old missions on a higher leveled toon, but orobouros doesn't have every mission, also losing all those powers is sad ;_;
