You're making way too many sacrifices to soft cap for smashing lethal, you'd be better off slotting for melee and ranged defense.

What did you say Geko? I can't see it?

you all need to re read this thread. the OP is not talking about surviving drone attacks, he is talkn about dronin ppl on purpose. he is a troll lookn for a lil excitement. unless you stay at the base OP your not goin to get many drone kills, not to mention the 1st time you do it, players will leave that area forcing others to follow. have fun sittn there lookn at nothing.

Thus the massive disparity

It would be nice in the healing purple sets they add a recharge resistance debuff as a proc.

Here is my current spines/dark armor build. He is pretty beefy

No but psychic's secondary effect is recharge debuff

Or anything with psychic powers

[ QUOTE ]
Pvp +3% def IO leaves you at 46.31% melee, 45.47% ranged, 44.84% aoe. I'd recommend the res/end Gladiator's Armor instead of res/rech because Tough is a bit costly. The Aegis slotted there reflects the end cost and resistance boosts you'll see with the Gladiators' Armor in place.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oops I'm meant the resistance/endurance gladiator's armor, also I'm not sure if I should slot the Panacea set into Health or True Grit.

The only enhancement that resists debuffs is Winter's Gift.

I am looking to make a really good cheap pvp build that will annoy the cheese out of anyone who will fight me, I definitely want to include teleport foe and have high hp, regen, and defense. I don't want to do too much damage, just be able to survive and teleport people to drones. LOL

I <3 post [censored]

That comes out to 256 dps to defeat a pylon in 4:58

Need help please!

[ QUOTE ]
Since someone mentioned the Scrapper Issues Thread, I'll just say this.

If you guys can agree on something needing to be done, I'll add it as a balance issue.

If you can't agree and still want it on the list, then I'll still probably add it but only as a wishlist item.

[/ QUOTE ]

I would definitely like to see this as a balance issue in comparison to other secondaries. As I pointed out, other secondaries have debuff resistance to add to their damage mitigation. I would definitely like to see recharge debuff resistance put into Resilience to a magnitude of 30-40% just like Quickness. I'd also like to see a 50% regeneration debuff resistance in Dull Pain, it would act like Reconstruction's Toxic resistance buff whenever clicked. It would last the duration of Dull Pain.

Have you ever rerolled one of your L50 scrappers before? I'm considering rerolling two of my scrappers, a spines/dark armor and a dark melee/super reflexes to a dark melee/shield but I'm not sure if I want to do it lol.

[/ QUOTE ]

Rerolled for what purpose? If it's just because you like the character's name and concept I would just pay the 10 bucks to rename him then roll a new character with the name.

In fact my level 50 WM/WP tank, Godbreaker, started life as a MA/Regen scrapper. Until he hit his 40s and I grew bored with him.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because I would like to combine them as part of a concept, they were one person originally until their mind was shattered into different personalities when they faced Rularuu. Now thanks to the midnight squad and vanguard they have become one person, but now I'm considering instead of dm/sd, to fire/sd because I'm not crazy about dm's animations. I just don't know how I would fit that in there.... Ahh!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Haha! Weeelll, all I'll say in this regard is that you truly have my respect for playing this close to your concept! Could the story be altered in such a way as to keep both of the old toons around? Could copies of both psyches be created and combined, in effect reuniting the old versions in a new hero but NOT destroying the originals?




Ya know, I don't like DM animations much myself. I particularly am not fond of MG. I'd love to see that updated to an animation where the player reaches forward with a large negative energy fist surrounding his own and just grabs the opponent, then lets go but the ghostly fist remains crushing the critter!

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmmm that is a good idea...but then I'd need a good name LOL

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Not sure that the OP has such a build--if you do, please show us soloing a Pylon in 3:43, cuz that's what a DPS of 300 could do. We might even provide the necessary mitigation if required so that you can just do damage.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, killing a pylon in 3:43 isn't 300 dps. Pylons have 30675 hp. 300 dps would kill that in under 2 minutes. (Just to be nit-picky)

My ill/rad troller just solo'd a pylon, and I timed it with a stopwatch to 4:58. That's just over 100 dps.

[/ QUOTE ]

No freaking way that's just over just 100 dps, that is closer to 250 dps.

You know when you have writer's block? Well I have build block right now and I cannot seem to come up with anything better. I'm trying to get my AoE defense higher, as well as my recharge. In True Grit there will be a full set of Panacea and in Tough there will be Gladiator's Armor: Resistance/Recharge and +Defense.

I would focus on slotting for recharge, then defense, and then regeneration in those orders, but it is personal preference.

[ QUOTE ]
From a game design point of view, the resistance should not be too strong as to negate the debuff.

[/ QUOTE ]
Agreed. I certainly wouldn't give as much -regen or -recharge resistance as Super Reflexes has -defense resistance. But it sometimes seems like any -regen simply TURNS IT OFF. I find the binary nature of it annoying. I'd like it to debuff my regen instead of simply turning it completely off.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is what I am trying to achieve, nothing huge like a 95% debuff resistance but maybe a 40 to 60% resistance for regeneration and a 20-40% resistance for recharge debuffs.

I have no idea, even Castle stated he was puzzled with Blaze and Bitter Ice Blast's animations.

As part of his experiment, Myers decided to play the game by the designers' rules -- disregarding any customs set by the players. His character soon became very unpopular.
