No, it's not wrong. But it is a symptom of the problem of these hyper-strong, tiny duration buffs.
Better IMO, to have a long duration (30 min+) buff with reasonable effects.
If it was a 4 minute buff, I'd roll one up.

Quote:Ummm...WP get's it's self rez at lvl [edit typo]35 , and a mini-god mode at lvl 38.Originally Posted by MurderousMalk
The only experience I've had with Broad Sword is combined with Electric secondary. Mine is currently 12 and my "Stalker-Guru" buddy's is lvl 38. The mixture of Defense with Resistances is something to behold. It's kinda like my lvl 50 Katana/Fire Aura Scrapper. Very durable with dual layers of damage mitigation using both Defense and Resistance coupled with a good heal and tier 9 God-mode, Power Surge. I've seen my buddy crash from Power Surge...hit a blue...hit Energize...and Power Sink...and keep rollin' in mob's corspes
The difference as I see it for Ninjutsu versus Willpower is one utility set for another. Nin is more defensive with a good heal and some tricks, where WP is over time heals/regen rate with some defense and resistance rolled in. Nin has a "god-mode" and WP has a self-rez. So it depends on what attributes you are looking more for your PvP toon.
It's not as strong as other God-modes, but it doesnt drop you to zero END either.
WP for stalkers has a burst heal, instead of the usual regen power the other (Scrapper/Brute/Tanker) WPs get. -
I don't see the problem with hoverbikes, however, why not do it as an alternate flight form?
Sooner or later, they'll get the power pools with some power customization.
You grab fly, you pick then...Hoverbike, Fly Pose 1, Fly Pose 2, Slab of Rock, Fly in Hover Position, Hover Disk, ect, ect.
They could then do all the same for Hover.
That seems the way to go imo. -
A Scythe set, this is what I've been wanting. But why just Tankers/Stalkers?
I admit, there are some weapons I don't see as belonging to certain ATs, but Scythe, that isn't one of them. -
Quote:This is what I missed with all the AE exploiting. THe good old sewer teamOriginally Posted by Tayla Ewa
On Virtue yesterday, I was running through Atlas to a mish and I saw in broadcast..
"Sewer team forming- 4 spots"
It made me smile since it'd been forever since I'd seen a sewer team form. Guess people are starting to trickle back to the real game.
I never cared if people farmed AE, but, I got tired of soloing my starting contacts (that gets boring for me, but a good sewer run never has). -
Just keep posting the way you do I'm finding people are negative repping for some of the dumbest things anyways.

The good thing about my build though, was that you didn't need hasten. -

Hi, Im currently running COH on a mac so I dont have access to mids. Could some please tell me how much defense from sets is needed counting slotted weave and shield powers to soft cap the toon on positional defenses. Thanks ^^

Quote:Because it's a cheap set with great set bonuses!Originally Posted by Ignitros
I added power sink and deleted conductive shield. Added more defense by taking flurry and slotting it with 4 kinetic combat. I don't see the benefit of slotting power sink with 6 slots of eff adapt since it can only use end mod and rech really so I only 4 slotted it and saved the 2 extra slots for other powers.

Well, let's see...
Dark Melee syngerizes with EVERYTHING! There is no secondary that won't benefit from what Dark Melee has to offer. Even Regen. Who can use Dark Melee's self heal to help keep Regen's click heals to an even more back up use. The -to hit will also help Regen's lack of defense.
Broadsword & Katana's Parry/DA pairs well with the sets that can't cap their defense on their own...or lack any defense at all.
The other sets offer less on mitigation. But what they lack on mitigation, they make up with style, concept, whatever.
Knockdowns are handy, if you don't want to go the IO defenses route.
But in the end any combo will work nicely. -
Unlimited budget? Price is no object? Well...here you go!
155 DPS (one target in range of AAO) Havok Punch -> Chain Induction -> Havok Punch -> Fire Blast -> Repeat
45.6% Melee Defense
41.2% Ranged/AOE Defense
30.8 second Recharge on Lightning Rod & Shield Charge

This is likely what I would do with an unlimited budget. And sticking close to you're power picks.
Could always replace OWTS with Grant Cover, for additional Defense Debuff and Slow Resist. -
Quote:Give me a little more info for what you're looking for and I might be able to help.Originally Posted by Ignitros
I was hoping someone might have a good elec/elec scrap build they could shoot me to give me a base to start with.
Any concept powers in mind? Prefered Epic Pool, if any? Preferred Travel Power? -
I did some work with the numbers (going by Mids)...
For me personally, I went with Havok Punch.
My planned build has an attack chain (ST) of...Havok Punch -> Jacob's Ladder -> Chain Induction -> Fire Blast -> Repeat.
That's 2-3 DPS less than using Charged Brawl, but easier to obtain.
It also gives me more DPS than CB -> JL -> CB -> CI -> Repeat, by like 20+ DPS.
Of course, Fire Blast also fits into my concept. So you may not be taking Blaze Mastery, unless you're going strictly the numbers route with your build. -
Quote:Hmmm...while I haven't tried it with a scrapper yet...I've survived that just fine with an IOed out WP/ Tanker.Originally Posted by Werner
Actually, it sounds like it's just because I haven't taken any secondary but Super Reflexes up against +4x8 yet. I expect my Katana/Regen to have some serious problems when I do. I didn't realize you were talking about that level of difficulty. At that level of difficulty, pretty much any hole in your armor can get you killed, lack of defense debuff resistance included.
Of course taking out the enemies took FOREVER!
While for the ITF I find DDR to be extremely valuable. It's been the only place on any of my scrappers I ever found it to be extremely valuable. -

I would never turn away an Illusion Troller! Just for Phantom Army alone.
But yes, likely it's the knockback issues. But it's exargerrated on Illusion/. My Phantasm is slotted for additional knockback (set bonuses ), and I hardly notice any knockback.
Though, that said, it makes me wonder if I know this tanker >.> -

AE has been murdered, and i can't find any leveling groups for the life of me
fix this devs, fix it now
AE hasn't been murdered. AE just isn't the PLing a toon from 1-50 in 3 hours go to area anymore. I still see people forming AE teams on Virtue.
I stay up late, I still see lots of people online, looking for teams. Maybe you're not forming your own?
And by the way, forming your own team is more that yelling "Forming Lvl ## team" in broadcast.
Use the /sea command, and then look at the list. See those names that are highlighted blue? They're not on a team. Send them a tell, asking if they would like to team.

My Dark/Ice Defender is at 75% Psi Resist, and has yet to be taken down by any PSI using enemy, even solo.
You probably don't have to go so high on the PSI resist/Defense, and can then up the defenses in other areas. -
...okay here's the dilemma...
Making a tanker who can survive anything, easy enough (I did it with my WP/EM tanker, who tanked Lord Recluse with a few inspiration uses, with no team buffs on my tank or debuffs on Recluse, while the team took out the towers).
However, today on my SG's global channel, one member said Scrappers were overpowered (high survivability with high damage...though strangely, with Brutes higher damage and higher survivability, she didn't think they were overpowered at all).
Now, being a Scrapper player mostly (they just fit my idea of a comic book superhero the most), I said the only time a scrapper is as tough as she makes it out to be is when IOs are involved.
Now, the SG mate is mostly a lover of Tankers and Blasters, so my goal is to make a tanker (With IOs), extremely tough, and able to solo AVs.
What I don't know, is what sets to pair up to do this. Help would be appreciated. I want to prove Tankers can do all that, first hand to her.

...I'm sure my search is just that sucky...I tried multiple times :/

One of the things I'd very much like to see is the ability to choose gender in MM pets in those cases where gender can apply (everything but robots really..) so you can be a lady MM with lady thugs. It just makes sense to me really.
I do realize though that adding choices in gender for pets AND colors AND different looks would be another grand change to the cossie creator.
While hoping it will come, I decided not to hold my breath. It won't last long enough, as I think it's a good ways off..
Would be nice though..
So...Thug Catgirls for everyone!

JL's is one of ELM's best DPA attacks.
