Concerned about Scrappers.

I'm just throwing this in here because I don't particularly have the time to read through this entire thread and I apologize for that. But, since my main is a Scrapper I feel the need to put my own thoughts forward for consideration.

I don't feel that Scrappers need a niche that's different from Brutes and Stalkers. I think it's perfectly fine that all three of those perform the same role in different ways. Brutes are the most survivable (sometimes), Stalkers have the highest damage (sometimes), and Scrappers fall in the middle (sometimes). Sure Scrappers don't have any unique tricks, but that doesn't really negatively impact my play experience. It's not like how Stalkers needed an update because they were just flat out broken. Or for that matter how Blasters currently need an update because they are flat out broken.

That Scrappers are not solo specialists anymore should come as no surprise. Everything is a solo specialist in the modern game. Of more significance is a Scrapper's role on the team. Like Brutes, Scrappers have the ability to become a tank for the team if needed. Like Stalkers, Scrappers have the ability to score critical hits - potentially out damaging a Brute (especially with the second round of ATOs coming down the pipe, but whether that counts is debatable).

In short, Scrappers have no unique niche. But nothing really does in this game. It doesn't make me not want to play Scrappers. I'm more concerned about Blasters, Defenders, Kheldians, and MM pet AI than I am about Scrappers. And yes, that list is in order from highest priority to lowest.

Scrappers are fine.

Using this and other non related threads to crusade for Brute and Tanker changes is low brow.

orrrrr (in fairness), many tank players have simply become resigned to doing the kind of damage they do. I'm one of those.

For the love of Mike!
Here's a suggestion: One of the people who keeps arguing over the relative merits of Brutes versus Tankers start a thread here titled something like "Concerned about Tankers" or "Concerned about Brutes" or "Concerned about Not Getting What I Want and Deserve". Then we can let this thread either die off because the original topic has pretty much been covered, or people can continue to discuss the actual topic in the name.

Seriously, start a new thread with an accurate title instead of suborning someone else's thread. What are you afraid of, that if they know what you're actually discussing no one will care?

(In the case of at least one poster anyone who sees that they're posting already knows what they're going to be posting about since they nearly always post just to complain about one topic regardless of what the rest of the thread is about. "I like the particle effects of the new dark hold power." "Yeah? Well, it's unfair that the Devs still only give Fruit Baskets one lime per basket." "Uh, what's that have to do with the dark hold?" "The Devs gave dark a new hold graphic, but i still don't have more limes in my Fruit Basket and that's totally unfair!" "...")

You no not every Arctype Set need to be buff, people who can't play the Arctype well are the ones that do much of the complaining and Pvpers who want a Overpower Arctype sets.

You Can't buff everything, when you do you create a Domino Effect once one Arctype Set get buff, there be people start complaining and Complaining about the next one. This Archtype set is bad and not working right, buff it next.

Stalker only got buff because it wasn't living up to how the Dev have Vision the Arctype Set and it was underplayed by many people in the Coh Community, it's not that people have stop Playing Scrappers, alot of people still do, I see them all the time.

There is now a increase of Stalker now and that even up thing now, people now can play them without a fear of dieing or running alway and go back into hide.

Face it Scrappers will never get a buff, why, because they are still living up to the Dev Vision, people Still play them alot, check out freedum and Virtue Servers. Alot of other Players in Coh Community don't see a real problems with them either, me and my friends don't see anything wrong with them.

For a Arctype or Power Set to be revamp, there need to be a problem with it first, Kheldians and Stalkers got buff, because people found problems with the set, do to low Survivability and lack of Damage, Powers not performing right or whatever.

Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it need to be fix and I will always be a Scrapper until my dieing breath.
