Even in I12 PvP my MA/SR/WPN Scrapper tore Electric Armor Brutes up. Caltrops shut their Aid Self down and then it was just a matter of working the Smash damage through the weak SL Resist (Statesman help them if Buildup+Eagle's Claw critted) to get the win. It was pretty sad. Of all Brutes I feared ElA the least (well OK, second-least to DA Brutes). ElA was junk then, it's even more junk now.

And I miss unresistable crits.

They say you can't beat MMOs.

But you found a way.

You found a way.

At first I thought, "Why would a Fungoid howl like a werewolf?" Then I thought, "Why wouldn't a Fungoid howl like a werewolf?"

The BS AS will be you turning your back to your target and stabbing your sword through your own midsection and into the target. The most dangerous opponent is one willing to do harm to himself in order to harm you.

Wrap it up! I'll take it!

It would be great, I just don't see it happening unfortunately, it is an assault set, not an armour-type set.

I tend to agree but there is precedent: Drain Psyche and Power Boost (boosts heals and Defense IIRC).

"Mob" is singular. "Spawn" plural.

hmmm, what about the Red Caps power when they throw some little dude on you and he 'blinds' you. Couldn't that mechanic be used to kind of 'make' this?
I could be totally off here and this isn't even close _--_

Choke-with-thighs attack FTW.

What? It's a comic book staple!

So long as I can change the sound on Dual Blades I'm all for it. I keep rolling and deleting DB because of the "CLING-CLANG! CLING-CLANG!" of the first few powers in that set. They're supposed to be Dual Blades, not steel drums.

Never sit on a freespec unless you're willing to accept the possibility of "losing" it by having a second freespec issued before you use it.

When it comes to freespecs, smoke 'em if you got 'em.

I agree with Purple with a purpose. I dumped Hecatomb out of one of my attacks because a non-Purple set gave set bonuses that actually gelled well with my build (and Hecatomb didn't).

Now my Bane...that silly little fool will eventually be slotting 6 or so Purple sets. Sigh lol.

Get off the fence about Poisonous Ray. It's Toxic damage (hint: Venom Grenade), and it can take an Achilles Heel Proc. One of your best powers, hands down.

VEAT Recovery just might be bugged.

Is it just a display problem, a problem with the way the game handles Conditioning or WAI? Testing is ongoing, but I'm voting "problem with Conditioning" so far.

Anything paired with Dark Melee is promising. DM is a primary and a secondary in one.

My grandma/Dark Melee for example.

Elec Melee. Time to make room for 1-2 more scrappers in my trays...

[/ QUOTE ]

Scrappers are like Jell-O. There's always room for more.

Many auras become nearly invisible when colored black. But I agree, there should be a "no GFX" option included in customization of particle laden powers.

In my mind, I've already rolled it.

AND.
IT.
ROCKS!

Electric Armor was flavor of the month at one point. Everyone was talking about how awesome their /Electric Armor brutes were.

The enemies didn't get harder. Electric Armor didn't get worse.

[/ QUOTE ]

The one and only reason this was so (though I'm a hater from day 1 of ElA's release) was because Electric Armor made Sappers into saps. People fell in love because of that. Eventually, they awoke to the fact that they were taking Aid Self and/or Tough not because they wanted to, but because they had to. ElA wasn't doing it's job. It was protecting the blue bar, but not the green.

And thus, everyone came to agree with Daemodand, the ElAOH (Electric Armor Original Hater).

The port to Stalkers made even more clear the deficiencies of the set.

I think I'll go start a "buff ElA" thread in the Tanker forums now, since they've had it inflic-- uh, ported to them. Odds are, there already is one there though lol.

Which reminds me I NEED Stone Mastery on my Earth/Earth Dom!

EDIT: And looking at the numbers, MA gets a worse rap than it probably should.

*Looks at his four martial artists...*

Yes, it does.

I think seismic smash would be the only reason to take this set over others. I mean, do ya'll want another knockdown/back stun assault set?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. Yes, I do.

How's your Broadsword hangin'?

Single target sustained and burst of Broad Sword = single target sustained and burst of Martial Arts.

It's true.

Alternate MA animations FTW.

P.S. Knives of Artemis = BS Stalkers, so it isn't out of concept. (as noted by DJ)

Ice Melee/Armor would've been soooo much better on a Stalker

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't understand what the appeal of Ice Melee is for Stalkers. It's one of the lowest damage melee sets around. Perhaps someone can explain?

Can I get the Reader's Digest version please?

Using Tiger is like living on death row. Every patch is like the warden coming to tell someone their time is up, and you hope it isn't you.
