Have to completely agree with the OP. The Devs are the reason I love this game so much. And this game is the only one I kept my subscription active since the beginning to support them (not only for vet rewards). I played many other MMOs and I really appreciate how open the devs communicate with us in CoX compared to other MMOs.

My Claws/Regen was very good at low levels, if you are concerned about redraw go Claws/WP.

Power 10 is back? ;p

Hm doubt I need any more mitigation since I now rarely use Shockwave....

Well thanks, I bugged it.

Thanks Nihilii for the clarification. Now with QR + Stam I never run out of end on my Claws/Regen, might as well test blaze mastery. So basically Fireball > Energy Torrent? Because I looked at Body Mastery for Energy Torrent in the first place and figured I could also pick up PP.

Noob question incoming: If PP isn't worth taking on a regen, so why do they slot the Unique IOs? If I understood correctly PP has roughly the same value? Just trying to figure out if I should take it when my Claws/Regen hits 41.

I just did the "Investigate Lost & Rikit" Mission from Montague Castanella. It's a map full of Rikti and I did not get one single Vanguard Merit, even not on mission complete. Is this normal and intended? And of course I did the Vanguard introduction arc, I already had some merits in my inventory when I started.

Hm
Dark/Dark (my first 50)
Dark/Ice
TA/A
Rad/Rad
Kin/Sonic
Storm/Sonic
Dark/Sonic
Rad/Sonic
FF/Sonic
(seeing a pattern here? ;P I still can't get over ED and defender dmg (ED alone is a good thing)

This is a gread feature, but I wish we had a slider to move from 10% to 100% in 10% steps.

Hm, have to check my build at home, but my SD/WM Tanker has 50% defense to all positions with Weave/CJ and I did not slot any Obliteration at all. It was a very cheap build. I have one Mako Set slotted and some frankenslotting from Pulverizing Fistcuffs and Pounding Slugfest, the rest is Multi Strikes. I have the Unique IO though.

I leave the details regarding your build to the vets here, but even if you messed up power choices you don't need to reroll. You can do a respec trial or buy a respec recipe, or buy a respec for real money, or just choose your second build at the trainer. You can't change primary/secondary though.

I just rolled a Claws/Regen and was quiet surprised (and happy) that spin is doing so much damage. I did not expect a PBAoE that hits 10 targets do more damage than Focus. I always thought Focus was the heavy hitter of the set? It's even labeled superior damage, while spin is labeled moderate. Is this intended? Not that I complain... just glad I did not skip it and picked it up that early.

I think the main reason for this is, that Scrappers are overall satisfied with their AT. At least I don't see any wining (*points at Defender boards).

Have to agree!

Would never drop TT and NF, I did put 3 dmg procs in TT and 2 in NF and it's great. I usually hunt cim wall because spawns are perfectly line up for the cones. Plus in I16 we can do our own spawn size, so those powers are also great when soloing.

Thanks for all the responses, I really appreciate it. I got 162 Mill on my tanker. Guess if I go with cheap sets it's not that hard to get to the softcap.

Thanks again.

I just hit 50 with my Shield/Warmace Tank yesterday (thanks to Garthalus wonderful guide). This was my first Tank after more than 60 months playing the game and I never got into them. This Tank is so much fun and I don't have Aid Self but did tank the ITF on an 8 man team with absolutely no problems. I was concerned because of the def debuff, but they didn't hit me that much to begin with.

The smashing damage isn't as much resistet as I thought (my first Char doing smashing dmg). And the overall dmg isn't that bad either. Shield Charge of course is just a fun power to use.

I can't provide a Link of Garthalus Guide, but I suggest to look for it, it is very well writen und helpful.

I didn't put a lot of money in my tank, got 1 Maco Set slotted, 3 Crushing Impacts and some frankenslotting (Combat Jumping + Tough/Weave) and she is just a bit over 50% to all positions. I took all of the primary except One with the Shield and all the Secondary except Pulverize. No epic though.

I suggest you try it out, really the dmg isn't as bad as some people say it is. Personally when I solo, I just herd some spawns together and then start using my AoEs only (Crow Control, Shield Charge, Shatter and Whirling Mace), so end isn't an issue for me. When you knock them down it's super easy to line them up for Shatter (45° cone).

Oh just saw you already decided for Axe. Well you get a lot more unlockable options for your Axe than we get for our Warmaces Still wonder why.

That's why I am concerned, since the last char I leveled to 50 (just yesterday) was my softcapped SD Tank.

Well I decided to give the Claws/SR a try though. Thanks for the help.

Thanks Umbral for your answer. Was a bit concerned that /SR won't work with just standard IOs, because I won't be anywhere near the softcap. Might get inf anway while leveling up and IO her out later.

Hello

I want a scrapper that is good in Pve (no AV soloing, can do that with my Ill/Rad), no PvP, just running standard mission on unyielding with standard IOs or SOs.

I just purpled out my Ill/Rad and IOd out a SD/WM tank (thank Garthalus for the great guide!), so I don't have the funds and the patience to do it again.

I currently have a Claws/SR and a Fire/Regen, which of those both would be better? Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance for the advice.
