Scrappers

y u no have ice melee?

^win

I made my first level 50 character delete a few days ago. It was my Elec/Elec/Mu Brute.











SCRAPPERS DID THIS.

ahhhh what a waist of a 50....

I'd rather know y u no have Super Strength.

Oh so just cause brutes and tanks get stuff that automatically means you should have it too?

Well you can't so there.

Why no Ice Melee? Answer: It would suck. It sucks on tanks (for offense and damage). It really sucks. Concept aside, it has always sucked. Some people say it does not suck and they are wrong. They present lots of reasons of why it does not suck, and they are still wrong. Opinions vary, but ice melee advocates opinions are still wrong. On a tanker however, the damage mitigation is actually a useful tool, so it does have some utility for a tank, and a tank only, since they were not designed to be damage dealers (although many have worked past that even). Tanks are there to protect the team. Ice melee affords some protection. Scrappers are designed to kill baddies. Killing baddies protects the team too. Brutes to smash. I like smashing. Feels good. Ice melee does not kill and it does not smash. It is not strong or pretty. It is just pretty, and not strong. It is very pretty, and scrapper like to look pretty sometimes, but still like to be strong. Brutes only like to look strong, and sometimes they can be pretty, but must always be strong. Ice Melee is cold and does not make me feel good. I want my scrapper to kill bad guys, not slow them down. Death is slower.

Ice Melee in its current form is not an acceptable primary. It needs to be remade I doubt the devs would remake it just for scrappers and have tanks cry waaaaaa, we want better ice melee. They deserve better ice melee, so what we are really asking for is to improve tank ice melee and then transport it over to other melee classes. Improve on tanks and then open to brutes and scrappers, then I say YES!!!! Hell YES!!! Some improvements were made, but they were not enough. Must.... Improve.... ICE MELEE...More.... A simple transport over with just making the scrapper base damages is a slap in the face to scrapperdom. They might as well create a new set and call it pansie slapping. Please be careful what you asked for. The devs need to work on my bo staff or pole arm melee before we waste time with damn ice melee. Agree that super strength should be transported to scrappers, because a critting foot stomp and on a scrapper with rage....... <stops to wipe drool off of chin>. Sorry distracted there a sec. Good call on the SS. Supports it.

I have seen a lot of ice melee requests lately. Is it the ice sword you want? I want an ice sword too. The devs should make an ice katana and ice broadsword as a costume choice and problem solved. You do not want ice melee. You were just threadjacked as well. These aren't the droids you are looking for. You want a bo staff. Hitting badies with big sticks feels good. Bo staff would probably look pretty too. Damn good. Damn pretty. Ice Swords are pretty, but melt in the sun. Not so pretty, not so good. Improve Ice Melee.

You want to make a scrapper with the following bio:

Yea, though now I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil. For thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. Because I carry a big stick and I'm the meanest mother ****** in the valley!

Say yes to Bo Staff. Say no to ice melee.

In summary, Ice Melee pretty. Not strong. Improve. Move. No improve, stick it. Need to carry big stick. Mean **** in valley. Think Bo staff. This is all. Carry on.

I'd also like for customization on the 'ice' look. I mean, I understand some people like being a walking block of ice, but I'd like to be able to choose something less 'blocky'.

I've been playing an ice/ice tank for a little while (still leveling) and I have to say, it doesn't feel fit for a scrapper in its current state (so yea, I agree with the long post above).
