as a clawed scrapper i'm in two minds about this.

changes would be nice, its frustrating to have long animation times, i can hit evicerate at the same time as the level 30 MA kick (who's name i forget) and they will hit first, do more damage and be smug. i dropped slash and strike in a respec and have never looked back, swipe is nice and quick and does reasonable damage.

on the other hand, i can just run and run and run in missions, triple slotted stamina, a heavy slotted invun secondary and one or even two (yes two) end reductions in my attacks mean while my damage is useless in PvP in most PvE situations, even against +2/+3 targets i can just keep going and going without ever coming close to losing so much end my toggles drop. if claws got changed to higher damage, higher end i'd be kinda upset, it'd take away the uniqueness of the set and force people such as myself into a different playstyle altogether.

I doubt that the will make a high dmg, high end cost power out of claws.
Its just that some people showed that the benefits we get (lower end cost) is not high enough for the low dmg we are dealing.

So they could either increase the endurance bonus a bit (which would be silly, because the endurance cost is low enough) or give us just a bit more dmg by either just raising the dmg a bit or shortening some animations (which is what I hope they'll do).

Well my Regen Scrapper is not high enough to have MoG so I can't be of any help there.
But I will choose MoG at a very late level (if at all). I'm more the Rolepleyer and try to pick the powers to fit to my char.
And I don't know, but MoG seems in my eyes to be the opposite of the Regen concept.

If you've got some time, there's some interesting dicussion here about it. Lots of hints that the set is getting buffed without any real information.

Perhaps I misunderstood what I'd heard and that it was the 'currently testing' version of Claws that out-damages all other sets.

Thanks for the link.

I'm sure I read (And I'm positive either Bridger or Rockjaw mentioned it over here too) that Claws actually outdamages all other sets in terms of DPS, due to the speed of the attacks?

Be interesting to see what the changes are? Perhaps adding a secondary effect, as has been mentioned.

I'm certainly sure that claws don't outdamage any set in terms of DPS.

Teamed with my Claws/Regen Scrapper (yeah I'm Wolverine fan, so what? ) with an MA/Regen and a Katana/Regen once. Was a fun team.
While I killed one mob, they each killed 2 or 3 in the time. The only advantage I had was, that my endurance didn't drain, while they needed rests between the fights.
Maybe in a very long battle I can achieve the same DPS. But if they stamina or a teammate with RA, my main advantage is gone.

Lets see what I7 will bring us.

Nice, claws could use an improvement. Either they improeve the dmange a bit or just shorten the animations for swipe and slash.
I hope the second one will be the case (well I hope they are going to improve claws with I7 at all).

Thanks for the offer. Your SG sounds very interesting. I will see if I can meet some of you people ingame. Its better for introducing my char I think.

Well I play CoH/CoV and while having a lot fun I rarely see an roleplaying going on.
I'm thinking now of trying to find me a roleplaying SG, cause I would like to roleplay my toons now and then.
Are there any roleplaying SG's on Union to be found (hope so, since its the unofficial RP Server). Would be nice if someone could name some.
Or maybe if a member of a RP SG reads this and your SG searches for new members you can contact me.

But I have to send a warning. I'm not a very active member and like to switch chars (the concept of having a main char is unknown to me). Playing CoV since the start and my best villain is level 23 (best hero is also 23 (and I play CoH since beta)). So concerning Bases I wouldn't be much of an effective player (I also don't need a Base at all). Besides I would like to able to decide on my own when to enter SG mode. All I look for is a bunch of nice easy going people I can roleplay with abit.
Would be perfect if the SG would accept more then one toon per player and also have a hero SG for my heroes would like to join a SG too (see my hero post).

Wow, you are taking follow up quite late. I thought about getting it with 20.
How long does it actualy last?

Thanks for the answers!

One more question. When I put a "Reduce Endurance Cost" Enhancement in any toogle on/off DM Power, does it reduce my endurance cost just when I turn the power on or does it also reduce the endurance cost while the power is active?

Can I use several DM Powers (the toggle on/off shield powers) at the the same time?

And what does it look like when I teleport. Is this a white flash or a dark cloud?

Great! Thanks for the help.

I just made me a Rototics/Force Field Mastermind (a popular choise I guess).

Just a question about the Force Fields I can't use on myself, but only on my allies. Can I use those on my pets?
Oh, and I saw some Masterminds whose pets were oing emotes (dancing for example). Looked quite funny. But how do you make it? I coudn't find out how to make my pets (actually pet, since I have only on at the moment ) any emotes.

Can you rename your pets? Or is it once you have given them the name its forever? Or can you give new names only when you summon a pet (so he keeps the name until he dies)?

Problem is when I solo I curently have enough endurance problems (in longer fights). So I might go with Tar Patch first. Then I will Darkest Night. And with 20 Endurance.

Thanks guys. I definatly know now wich two powers I will take next. I'm just unsure in which order.

Hi, just a questin. I have a dark/dark corruptor whos level 14 at the moment. But I still don't have taken Tar Patch or Darkest night (Nontheless I'm doing fine and am capable of soloing my missions). There were always some other Power I prefered first. On level 16 I will take one of those. Which is better to take first? I play PvE mainly.

I agree. Personal bases (or apartments) can improve rpg style.

Personal quarters can also destroy RP communities. Most Neverwinter Nights servers with a pretence toward RP allowed player houses. Problem is/was, all the RP moves into the private houses and the community tends to devolve into cliques.

This in no way means I don't want individual houses, and they have been announced as something that Cryptic "are working on." Just don't hold your breath.

[/ QUOTE ]

But we are not talking about a very active RP game here. Even though I play on Union I don't see any RP at all (just saw it once or twice that people were roleplaying).
I think the Private Houses can only improve the RP for CoH/CoV.

We have plans for personal bases (aka Hideouts or Player Apartments) to come in the near future. These won't be PvP playable maps, so there shouldn't be as many restrictions on what you can place where.

You know that would suit me fine. All I am really interested in is the decorative stuff. I like to play with base builders

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I agree. This could boost the roleplaying ingame. Great I can't waint until they implement the apartmenst now

One thing. Please don't let it be something like Heroes get the clean and nice apartments and Villains the rat holes.
I don't mind living in a bad neighborhood as a villain, still I would make my apartment nice.
