Tbh I have always been a defender of DM/SR scrappers as best scrappers in game to the point I lvld 2 of them to 50 so I could play one on Union and one on Defiant when I played both servers... until my DM/DA hit the magic 41.

No scrapper is as fun as a DM/DA/DM scrapper, no Sir.-

Plus you don't have to worry much about your cossie

Get back to your Claw/WP and speak not of this again until it's 50

And they ditched Conserve Power from elec, which is the best move of all

Damnit no reward for my favourite Arc, ah well, will keep doing it anyway.

I'm going to let other people spend their time aranging the TFs and grinding through them till they can get the rewards they want to sell, and then I'm going to buy them with inf used from solo play.

Does STF still award a HO as an option instead of merits? If so I can see them dropping in price dramatically

Well with the new change my choice is whether to bring FRost Breath in or not.

Well Merits has disgouraged me from TFs at the moment, grinding for assured income I can already do. The random element I liked.

Strangely the TF I will still always go for (cause its just the most fun) wont actually give me a random chance now, but as it was the only one I played for the fun rather than the reward hess is still good to go, the others I wont have to worry about arranging teams for any more. I guess forgetting about them makes it easier to game casually

Well I changed my Ice/Fire to keep in mind these changes were coming to take the fire epic not elec, but it does mean that my blasters will have different epics and my Elec/Mental can proceed as planned to EMP greatness I guess. Now I have one blaster with ST control and one with AoE control at some point I will need one with ST damage.

It also means I could put in hotfeet and have slots to spare, so I guess I should be thankfull that it made me rethink my build

I kind of see your point, but maybe this way at least pug team leaders will consider doing some story arcs instead of radio/paper missions to 50.

Oh no doubt about that, the big question is "whose arcs"?

Theirs of course

I'm really surprised at how much this agitates me and takes the shine off Issue 13 for me, but unlike in WoW where wide power changes are par of the course, powers in CoH are something... intrinsic to your character. Imagine if someone changed Superman's Heat Vision to something else?

If they gave him Conserve Power I'd point and laugh

WAit my broken controller lost one of its few redeaming features....... oh well, might as well dump Ice Epic

Been thinking on why Electrical Mastery gets the shaft so badly this morning and the only reason I can come up with is that they're taking it from day one, cause Elec came on after the other APPs so there's a good chance people didn't respec it in on old toons. Otherwise they just hate the players, so I'm going with option 1 instead.

Seems like Mu's been blessed

Now they've gone and changed it this means i lose my purple set and recharge bonus which was the whole point to picking and slotting the power in the first place.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you will find you only lose the power, and the purples bonus if you respec.

I might be wrong there though.

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought they said it wasn't the case with this change that it would be forced through. But I cant even remember where I read about the change in advance. It is also why I'm glad they're not changing Dark Mastery though cause it holds my only purples

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah you could be right, i was just going off what happened before.

In that case its worse then, they shouldnt do that in my opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]

Am gonna be checking tonight my Elec Epic cause I may well need to take out some HO's before the change. Still I guess it means my blaster will be able to fit in hot feet now

I like the fact they haven't changed Dark Mastery for scrappers

[/ QUOTE ]

This is true, now I dont hate the changes as much

Well I certainly hate the changes to elec mastery for Blasters, will have to look at one blaster because its become a waste of three powers now but the other has only lost out a bit though I was really looking forward to EMP. I can see Conserve Power going down badly personally but then I dont know how everyone plays their blasters and it may be useful to some. Badly built ones maybe. But some

Oh, my PC is definitely way up there in the "good" classification.

[/ QUOTE ]x 2

Doubleplus good?

Clearly dual core

Ice doesn't have a nice recovery power before SOs. Pre SO's Ice is costly to run, SO's make it nicer, EA makes it godlike.

Shields should be fine after SOs for end, doesn't have a good recovery power to pick up later but has a lower end cost to start with

I didn't think you could boost the accuracy of it that way. Boosting your base acc works well though, as does just using RI, infact RI alone is enough to make it alarmingly accurate.

On my 'fender I find irradiate is plenty good enough too

Heroes and villains uniting to take down the OLD hamidon, Doooooods almighty, that would be a great community event!

This. So much this. Indeed just this. This is right. Oh, yes, this.

OK I like that idea all right?

See I'd like hasten and Energy Torrent with no Burn. When you can three hit the groups you dont need to imob and burn, Hasten just brings back the build ups and heals quicker (and no I dont really like having hasten but with Healing Flames, Build Up, Fire Embrace, Conserve Power and consume all being important hasten is a godsend)

This is why I love November

Keep em coming

My Mercs completely fall appart with any sort of patch really. Necro's not too bad cause I dont need them bunched up to keep them alive, they have self preservation it seems. But Mercs and Thugs tend to group, scatter them and its ouch time

Your Spines/Fire is body mastery not Dark as in the op's question (so'd mine though, so I cant realy help much with a build either)

I only have two toons without CJ, not all my characters have SJ, so I guess I'd take a travel power pre-req without taking a travel power. I also have a few with Hasten but without SS, but not so many

It would depend on who but I would most likely accept. Theres a couple I wouldn't want to lose
