Get over yourself. I'm not making a "+1" post. I was asking what the hell you were talking about, because you posted nonsense. He was asking about the powersets, not just the scrapper version. You should have been able to infer that from context of the discussion and the question. Parsing where he put the "/" into the notion that he was talking about Scrappers, and then replying to the post "they aren't Tankers" is frankly idiotic.|

Who cares if you have a mission saved that's got -toHit in it? We all know that swarming anyone that needs to hit stuff will give it problems. Unlike you, not everyone happens to think that's some horrible problem that requires a powerset change to fix. Guess what, if you run in a big swam of +4 Cimerorans you can't hit them either. This is all known. And Invul sucks up Psi damage, Regen croaks under -recharge, and Electric Armor hates Toxic damage outside its godmode. Nothing is supposed to be perfect. If Dark Armor can hit multiple foes with its heal, it's an amazing powerset. Sometimes it can't, and then it suffers.
Deal.

Not here to argue about it. Opinion to OPs post suffice.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

OK, so because his build is good... it doesn't count? Do you do the same when judging every other defense set? Seems... well silly.|

DA is fine. Better than fine. And that comes from th experiencing of leveling my first two DA characters pre-IOs.
With IOs, my heal makes me giggle when I use it more to gain end than health (thank to the +end proc). Drop a cardiac Alpha in there... and my DA characters are on auto pilot.
Look every set needs it's quirks and differences. And DA shines just fine without being turned into another number crunchers dream.
edit: and I'd +1 Uberguy's posts (and Arcanaville's) if I could...
City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.
