@Siolfir- Divine Avalanche is a tiny of bit of mitigation? I don't understand. Are you saying b/c it only covers Melee and Lethal Dmg? no doubt my mids could be botched but with 2 DA's stacked I am getting 45% defense fully slotted. With three it's reading 75% but getting three off is more unlikely.

I have had no issue taking down an AV with my stalker...but ninjitsue and divine avalanche can go a long way.

Quote:LOL, close. I'm not exaggerating but I paraphrased the Attack chain. Here's how I do it.Originally Posted by Armath
It does not. What he said (and clarifying it a bit) is that if you placate an enemy out of say..5 enemies, if you are lucky and re-enter the "hidden" state you will be able to pull off a fast critical. You are not hidden for all of the 5 enemies, just the one you have placated, but, because you are hidden you might be able to hit a second critical attack, provided you don't get hit before you activate the attack.
So he means that somehow he has an unnaturally huge deal of +recharge and he can chain Crowd+Placate+Crowd. Without a great deal of +recharge, i'm thinking that he is exaggerating.
Walk up to a mob and hit Crowd Control: It crits then while crowd control is recharging I Use my other Hard hitting attacks...now in keep in mind guys Crowd Control recharges in about...what 8 seconds or less with Hasten running so using other attacks while you wait shouldn't be an issue. Once Crowd control is charged again hit Placate then Crowd Control Immediately after and you crit on the mob once more...the only catch is not getting hit when you use placate.
I'm not even exaggerating b/c mids is reading that Crowd Control recharges in 6.53 seconds with hasten running so imagine a purpled out build. Banes aren't the best but they should be able to take out an EB...the real problems with Bane's are lacking a self heal I think. -
I've never tried pairing Ninja Blade with a Resistance Set...it makes me a bit uneasy just thinking about it. Divine Avalanche is just such an awesome power.
-
Sadly I can't give you an answer on both accounts...in fact I don't think I have a single scrapper over lvl 10.(I stick with brutes and stalkers)
I didn't know BS was so bad...it looks decent on paper...but you now how that goes. I was looking at it on mids and it seem very gutted...ninja blade is the same way but it takes care of business anyway somehow. -
Hey Fireswap I just wanted to chime in real quick about Placate. When you use it you get a chance to crit on Anything surrounding you before it hits you!
When my bane is scrappin' a large group I use Crowd Control > Placate Crowd Control! Two crits on like 6 or 10 people...Sorry I forget what the max is for Crowd Control. I wish you could tag along with me so I can see how your bane performs and I can show you what my bane can do as well.
Edit: Dmg Wise a MM is better than anything I would wager...so no point of comparing the two honestly. -
I like thorn tbh but a Mind/Elec is a very solid build!
-
Energy Melee, Broadsword and Ninja Blade should be able to do it. Especially Broadsword and Ninja Blade Parry and Divine Avalanche keeps your defense up there.
-
I agree as well. IO's would be in your best interest. /FA can easily get overwhelmed. I made a Claws/FA on Beta (lvl 41) and he was tearing through minions like they were going out of style so...yeah the dmg output doesn't change as you lvl.
-
Ice Melee for stalkers!
Sorry Carry on. -
You're right Bill...but even I admit it sucks when you have to scarf down more than +3 purple inspiration before you head into a mob.
-
LOL. I think Claws/Fire kills faster than SS/Fire....but comparing the two is like apples and oranges...Foot Stomp keeps you safe with SS but wit claws...your stuck. Shockwave only goes so far when it comes to mitigation compared to foot stomp.
I still can't bring myself to roll a SS again. That set bores the snot out of me...which is weird b/c I love Ice Melee and Stone Melee *shrug*.
Alt-itis has struck again and I think I am going to roll a Claws/Dark...I've been trying to make a /Dark toon forever and claws might help me take the leap. Now if only I could make a Dual Blades toon... -
With the new Changes you SHOULD roll a Claws/FA Bill...I dare you.

I admit after I read this I LOL'D hard. I don't agree with you completly...but it did make me chuckle and almost spit out my apple juice.lol -
*rubs chin*
I didn't think about putting the ToLG in there...that's a stupidly cheap IO as well...hrmmmz. -

I think they are...due to how many blasters would end up dead at lvl 40 w/o Stamina or End reductions slotted.

One can never have to many Claw/ Brutes.

I know. I'm playing my character's glaring at the Fitness Pool like: "Yooooou.....I haaaate yooooou." Especially on my new Ninjutsu Stalker, I've already started swift, and will have to take Health here shortly. I was like "I am NOT rolling any new characters until this goes live".

Hrmm Praetorian Epics? Resistance? Loyalist?

Scythe would work...I mean for crying out loud we have broad sword! LOL

I hate to say it but I am SO tempted to make new builds for all my toons RIGHT. FRICKIN'. NOW!
