    waitwaitwait... what was the question? was it answering 'yes' to is Ele right? or was it saying 'yes' to the lvl 60 garbage?

    Doubtful... I've not heard anything of it anywhere. Racks up another tick for blind speculation, though.

    Blaster Idea?

    Considering smoke grenade is a standard debuff (i.e. not nonresistable {like flash arrow}), and is subject to debuff resistance, this statement isn't entirely accurate.

    to the OP:

    Considered sonic/MM? few blaster sets mitigate quite as well as sonic, and MM had the extra cone to stack with your two (or three) from sonic. The *only* problem I could see is wanting to be at range for your cones, but also in the mob for DP and PS. If hopping isn't a problem for you, then I see no problem.

    Attack chains

    I AM a scrapper :P but the toon is a tank.

    Attack chains

    nonono, I'm a scrapper at heart, but this build is a tank. I just listed the powers as if it was a scrapper (offense/defense) rather than the other way around.

    Attack chains

    and to think I read over this damn thing like 4 times looking for typos and junk. Totally missed that one >.< I build fire/shield scrappers in my spare time, just for lulz. It never even occured to me.

    Basically, I took the damage value mids gave for each attack (I believe AAO was on, but only with 1 target), so it would include that and slotting only (yes, mids is set to ignore extra damage as well, no procs factored in.)

    I took those values and added them, then divided by the total time it took the chain to loop.

    And yeah, this dps is without miss chance, crit chance, proc chance, all that. Just for simplicity, so you're correct, it should be higher.

    Attack chains

    I ran through this today during English, because we're "learning" how to use APA citations, which, quite frankly, isn't much to learn about in an hour.

    This coming from my fire/shield tank with 75% rech bonuses (ex hasten).
    (also, excluding arcanatime, didn't have the equation with me)

    (Sarrate can destroy my math if he so chooses, I could be wrong. I don't do this often.)

    As a numerical base, I could throw down the chain:
    (greater fire sword, incinerate, fire sword, scorch)
    GFS>INC>FS>SCO
    This chain could be run flawlessly while hasten was up (92% of the time). yielding about 97dps (excluding procs)
    This chain cycles every 7 1/3 seconds, so it's pretty quick to restart, and a BU starting the chain will last all the way through the next GFS, which is nice. That's fine and all, but I'm sure I could get more out of the set.

    So instead, I came up with this rather lengthy chain (trying to get more out of incinerate, the highest dps power in the set):

    INC>GFS>FS>INC>SCO>FS>GFS>SCO>FS>(repeat) (BU, for reference, would last through the second FS)

    This chain runs right at 15 seconds, and pushes about 104dps. Definitely better.
    Keep in mind, however, that this is only considering solo play. If I have any outside recharge buffs I'll need to figure out a better chain to get the most out of set.

    The point of all this nonsense that most people don't care about is getting the most out of what you have. Sure it's fine to run the first chain, but if we're doing something that's "Balls out" as Coz says, everything may as well be accounted for.

    Yes, most people don't care. Most people don't need to care. It is that care, however, that pushes us over the edge into the land of awesomeness.

    Attack chains

    That room doesn't actually exist anymore. Neither does that hair. Just sayin
  12. Elegost

    Attack chains

    We use this for min/maxing all around, getting exactly what you need so you can squeeze the most out of everything.
    Def - .8 seconds likely won't matter to someone like yourself who just runs with whatever works. The recharge on your higher tier powers is more worth getting, however.
  13. It was posted a while back, as stated above. Pissed me off because BS got the katana skin, DB got both katana and BS, and katana got nothing. As always.

    Kismet +acc

    I'm actually having issues deciding between another LotG 7.5, a Winter slow res, or a kismet. Only have one slot for it, and still am bouncing between all three choices :/

    STF Bugged?

    Ele'll tank fo sho. Will have to be mid-late afternoon for sure, I *try* to get off around 1 to 1:30, but sometimes get stuck until 2-3ish. depends on which boss I've got, honestly.

    I'd like to get Ryan in on this as well if he's around. Never had a better cold.

    Ele
    Ryxx
    Sarrate
    Ryan (?)

  18. I'd switch around your slots for health and PP. PP functions wonderfully with 5 slots: (I changed it to 2 in health, 5 in PP).
    Numina unique, Miracle unique, Perf +end, Perf end mod, and IO end mod. This'll put your net end gain at around +3end/s (with FA turned on). Plenty of endurance, especially for a claws scrapper.

    Health has a regen tissue and a green IO.

    If you wanna spare a slot, the 4th in hasten knocks off 2 seconds. That's up to you to decide if it's worth it or not.

    I also agree with the dropping of elude for the gaining of SJ.

    Prestige for XP

    I think GP means that you'll lose the prestige that they'll earn. Which isn't actually true. The bonus you'll lose, but not anything they get themselves.

    if we could cram more villains in there, I'm sure they'd die too.

    STF Bugged?

    update

    Either Sunday midday/after/evening, or sometime during the week. Friday and Saturday I'm disappearing as usual.
    Then of course, there's all of spring break for Ryxx and I, so we'll have plenty of time for more runs during the week.

    STF Bugged?

    Friday I disappear into the backwoods of the state and don't return until Sunday evening. So weekends always suck for me.
    Except... actually... spring break starts this weekend, so I may be able to Friday for once. I'll get back to you guys on that.

    STF Bugged?

    God knows it's been forever, but I'm thinking she only (normally) has somewhere between 50 and 78k hp. We must run one of these asap, Sarrate.
    damn college... being all demanding and junk
