Rieze

When I'm home, I play. I read the board at work to kill time. Those where the longest 2 1/2 days at work in a long time. I tried to remember what I did to kill time before I started reading the boards everyday. I ended up surfing profiles on my space and going to the coh twitter page over and over hoping and wishing I'd see some update saying the forums would be up shortly. *screams*
On a side note, I want to old set up back. This new fancy look screws with my blackberry and it won't so the avatars, emote pics or any of the status or link symbols right all of the time. And they need to do something about Dev's corner!

I can see a rad armor being more of a cross between /DA and Ice. Radiation emission has powers that do almost all debuffs. Between Ice and DA, you have a lot of the debuffs covered in the form of auras. It would make sense to be a def/de buff armor set. Granted, the dmg aura would do nrg dmg instead of neg or cold. No fear effects of course. Stuns, to hit debuffs, -dmg, and -slows would fit the set theme. A self heal, and a tier 9 similar to positron's. I'm not going to even try to make up specific powers though.

The only time I've had an issue with flying foe in coh are the annoying DE swarms, ghost, them cabal witches. They are faced at levels most scrappers can't get ranged attacks anyway. Diobolique can be a pain in her area map timed mission. That's the only other flying pain I can think of. If you need something for runners in late game, go with web grenade and slot it with the hold proc for kicks.

I am Riez (I know what my post name says but it was a 5 letter min on the name choice). My first alt was a DM/Regen scrapper. Now, I have many alts. Most of them are scrappers. I've played this game a little over 2 years (27 months was the last vet badge)I've only started posting a few months ago. I'm not really known for anything yet. I am pro /regen and pro foc acc. And I want better/more epics for scrappers (Yes, I had to go there) I'm anti set mules and any IO over 50 million and can't be gotten with merits. I mostly solo when leveling so I won't miss out on the fun arcs. (I know we have flashback but you are bound to them like Task Force). I enjoy task force and raids as well. Especially the ones with all scrappers. I hope to one day be able to say "I did that on a team with all scrappers" to any task in the game other then the hami raid (but how cool would that be). Its good to know that I'm not the only one that thinks that way.

Both. As long as its chocolate.

Absolutely pricelss, Werner! A sig-worthy line if ever I found one! I am still chuckling.

But have you ever seen the call of the wolf animation? (don't worry, it's pretty rare to find someone who has) It's awsome. You stand straight up and point your sword at something like your picking it out of the crowd saying you're next! It's a shame it doesn't fit in any of my builds.

[/ QUOTE ]

I like the tossing the sword from one hand to another. Reminds me of a playground taunt growing up.

I'm glad thats just opinion, it would suck if it were fact.

15 second god mode vs a 2 minute god mode?.....it pretty much speaks for itself. You're just looking for an argument aren't you?.

[/ QUOTE ]

MOG is better. That's fact. That 15 seconds of pretty much being untouchable is more then enough time to either soak the alphas or buy enough time for your health to regen out of that "oh crap" range or enough time for a heal to recharge. SOW has a small % res to all thus adding just a little res on to WPs small amount of res it has to begin with. All other res tier 9s either cap you or raise HP and near cap you. It is a nice break free for stacked Mezzes like in a rwz challenge or if you get caught by romi's rez stun in ITF. Its more of a utility then a power house res power. This comming from someone who has two /regen scrappers, two /WP brutes, two /WP scrappers, and one WP/ tank. And to end this total debate, I will say this, the way this game is set up, powers that depend on mobs to function better always out shine their self sustaining counterparts in situations they have the fuel to. Soul drain and aao can be stronger then any build up. Dark regen can heal for more hit points then reconstruction or healing flames. So, on the same token, rttc can be stronger then integration and at times instant healing. But this is only when enough mobs are around. In normal par builds (not costing billions. No pvp IOs or purples or hard to get overpriced IO sets), having enough mobs around to pass a normal build regen IH would be dangerous and result in them being dead for taking more dmg then what could be regenerated. Even with the res, def, and extra hp. If this wasn't true, a SO build would be able do the same stuff fully IOed builds would do. So screw what the numbers say and let's be real. Logically (not numerically ) wp is not better then regen. They are about the same. Just in a different way.

A softcapped /Nin Stalker has more staying power than any /SR Scrapper, with slightly lower DDR but alot more toys to play with (including a burst self heal)

[/ QUOTE ]

That's true. Only a matter of time till that set gets ported. It will be interesting to see what they do with hide and caltrops.

I am a fan of all that is melee. Each of the 6 (scrappers, tankers, brutes, stalkers, widows, and banes) bring something different. Even if they share simular powers. As far as stalkers go, they can crit a lot more thanks to hide and placate. A power I ignored on my first stalker but will not anymore. To me, brutes play more like a scrappers then stalkers do. That's why they are the ones always compaired to scrappers. The same set on a stalker will play completly different then on a scrapper most of the time. An exception would be /SR and /regen. Def is def and a heal is a heal.

Is it known whether this will be implemented as an all kick SET (original) and an all punches SET, or can we pick animations on a *per-power* basis to "hybrid" the new animations with the old?

[/ QUOTE ]

From the video posted it looks as if you can do hybrid builds.

[/ QUOTE ]

Video? Link please...

[ QUOTE ]
What I'll probably do (if I end up liking the MA punch animations) is have two of the costume slots both with the same costume, one with the kicks and one with the punches. When I switch styles I'll do the backflip costume change and probably have a style change text I'll exclaim at the same time.

[/ QUOTE ]

I remember saying this in another thread. It will be like playing tekken again. Dang it! What was that guy's name? You know, the one with all the kicks and could change his fighing style. Started with an H.

I remember when I was in RV missing around and I got owned by a elec/elec blaster that only used his melee attacks. Drained all my end in three hits. Rather embarrasing. I'm guessing you could do the same. Fight club style or in open zones when people run and jump around like panzies (yeah I said it!)

Because the snapdragons send banjos on the 4th of July!

Because the two heads combine into a twin shark!

Because the silly topic deserves a silly reply!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go run into a room full of people who hate me, get knocked down, get back up again, get knocked down again, get back up again, etc. Because I have more fun when I see my health bar do the Dance of the Second (and Third and Fourth and Fifth) Wind.

Wheeeeeeee!

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed. This thread needs to be thrown in front of a team of DB/regen scrappers doing one thousand cuts.

I'm gonna have two costume slots with the same costume but different animations for the attacks. Gonna be changing costumes mid fight to make it look like I'm switching fighting styles like that guy on tekken. I forget his name. Too cool for words.

[ QUOTE ]
If spots arent full then i'd like to try a TF. Heh you thought that wasnt as fun as the TFs then i wonder what a TF is like then. But great run i agree, good to be on a team with only great scrappers.

[/ QUOTE ]
We did an all scrapper STF last week and an all scrapper ITF the week before. I guess it didnt seem as fun because it was so short. it was like starting a TF then going right to the last boss.

well that was interesting. not as fun as the two TFs were but it cant be said that a mothership raid cant be done with one team or it cant be done with a team of scrappers. took the pylons down quick then broke off into 4 teams of two to plant bombs. after all the bombs were planted, join as a team of 8 andtook out the GM and did battle on the ship. And we took the bowl. Mind you, the spawns were smaller but not by much. it seemed to be more magus then normal though. and they all seemed to target me. LOL
How about sunday after next, (double xp weekend next week) a khan or lgtf?

[ QUOTE ]
I want to PvP someone on test who has a Fire/WP. I challenge you now with my Fire/Regen Super Scrapper!

[/ QUOTE ]

Good luck with that. It seems none of the flaming /regen haters want to step up and defend their precious /wp set. Really, this debate has less backing then the /DA sucks debate. But for kicks, ill challenge you with my fire/fire

Challenge 5 or 4 if its an AV mission I'm not outfitted for. Heroic is for those, "ok, let me hurry up and get this over with so I can do something else." By the time you hit 35, you'll raise the diff again. It may even happen sooner.

I wonder if stalkers debate wp and regen the way they are debated here. I just started reading the forums not too long ago and this is the third time this subject has been started up. The next time its started up, someone should just paste a link to one of the other two. They all say the same exact thing.

We pulled off an all scrapper stf sunday. Not sure about the repair men bug. It wasn't painful until the tower part. No shivans or nukes. 121 total defeats. I forgot the time but it wasn't that bad. Anyway, what about hover tanking? I've seen it done a few times but not with invul/. Would that be a better/safer option? I was thinking of trying this with my invul/dark tank but I don't want get to that part thinking I'm about to do something and get dropped out the sky it 3 seconds.

It has been ages since i ran a lap of the Storm Palace, I ought to do that again soon.

[/ QUOTE ]

The lap around the storm palace is rather fun and rewarding. I was talking about the mobs of 53s that roam the islands in the storm palace zone. They have just about every form of debuff in the game. great. Now I want to do a faathim the kind TF.

The funny thing about the damage badges is that any damage that you take that doesn't bring you below your base max hp doesn't count. This pretty much means that Dull Pain is a rather large inhibitor for getting the damage badges.


[/ QUOTE ]

Dull Pain? Foo! I love pain! More pain, I say! Respec! Another power slot opens!

Seriously, that sucks if that's true. Still, I do find my /regen scrappers hitting their damage badges a lot sooner than anyone else, even the "damage sponge" tankers and other scrappers. Could be I'm not hitting the button enough, though.

[/ QUOTE ]

It could be that you hit it after you take a serious hit. All that dmg outside of what ever accolades and bonuses you have will count. Then you hit dull pain and get all your health back and adding the padding. Part the dmg you take after that won't count.
