What would I make it now to be equal to the old Invincible difficulty?

Well, yeah. You still don't want to die all that often, because the self rez isn't a fast recharge power. I also didn't mean for the debt protection to be 100%. At most, it should be 50%.
Maybe the self destruct should be immune to buffs but still enhanceable or something like that. You'll deal more damage per unit time by staying alive, but I kind of made the set with the idea that you would want to die.
That's actually underpowered.
I really think that this set would either be overpowered or underpowered...with the middle ground copying the blaster AT. -

Only one of the Blaster ancillary pools has a self-rez. The rest of us are out of luck.

No, it's not crazy. That's the reason I asked.
What about it seems overpowered? Is any aspect overly abuse-able?
Scrappers are made to survive and kill...trying to balance both of those is the key.
With powers such as self-destruct and self-rez...your basically taking out the need to survive...making it to the point that you actually want to die while playing this set.
(Fiery Aura has self-destruct and self rez in one power...so you still don't really want to die...but if you do happen to die, your self rez has some damage it can do.)
Taking away the apsect of not wanting to die while also giving it the most potential damage is why its overpowered.
Blasters don't want to die...they want to find away to unleash their massive damage and still survive. (They do get a self rez in their epics but no dept protection power)
The real downside in this game is not wanting to be defeated (which is changed because you have a power that makes you want to die), debt (which is covered with your debt protection power) and missing out on action (which is covered with your self rez)
When you no longer have to worry about dying and you deal the most damage...thats overpowered. -
This may sound crazy but...
I actually believe that set would be overpowered. -
In the OP's defense to some criticism about his/her first post...
Thats how most things get done...someone gets a "basic" idea to share with everyone and then if everyone likes the idea they ALL brainstorm over the final details.
Not every idea is clear cut and to the point...such as shows for instance...someone gets a main idea and proposes it...then they get a staff of writers to write out all the details to make actual episodes.
Just because someone doesn't have the idea down to a T doesn't mean they shouldn't share the idea and hope other like minded people could help shell out the details. -
Don't make Umbral angry...you won't like when (s)he's angry.
-
Although I do believe that the devs don't care if we match certain powersets...I do believe that the fans who voted for these powersets did so because of V for Vendetta.

I'll have to remake it, it'll take me a while but I remember I had 901% passive regeneration lol but it was such a lol build it was pretty worthless.
I thought it was the actual build you were playing with. -
Quote:Ok...so if defense means nothing then wouldn't Electric Armor be the best for this task? (70+% S/L resistance and 90% Energy resistance)Originally Posted by Rush_Bolt
According to ParaWiki, Recluse has 2 Energy blasts, 2 Energy/Smashing melees, one Smashing melee and 2 Lethal melees. So while the majority of his damage is typed for Energy, there's still a lot left to deal with.
Of course, you'd also have to deal with the blue tower which gives him a good chunk of +ToHit rendering much of that DEF you've got moot. -

This^^^ oh god this. I'm half-afraid that Going Rogue is going to involve a cutscene where States says something to the effect of "You'd all better switch to your alternate builds, get the best enhancements, and eat a bunch of inspirations--these Praetorians are going to be tough!"

Quote:Yes, but the blaster does not have the same survivability in melee range that the tank does.Originally Posted by McBoo
Not really, blasters use the combo now and back it up with superior damage. Now EM Pulse might be a bit overpowered since Power Surge comes with a built in EM Pulse. I'm just sayin'....
>
For a blaster...you run and jump into a group and try to incapacitate them with the risk of dying.
A tank can render a group harmless because the tank is able to stand in the middle of all the foes and use those powers over and over without much risk of dying. -
Spines/Dark or Spines/Fire or Spines/Electric
Why and why not?
I want an AoE killer that can manage endurance and survive.
I know Spines/Dark can be powerful, but I'm wondering about the endurance issues...and how often do you have to use Dark Regen?
Spines/Fire seems like a good fit with Healing Flames and Consume.
Spines/Electric (metal spines and electricity just looks so badass) seems like you would not have any endurance issues and you get knockback protection...but it seems to be more "squishy" then the other two mentioned.
What do you think? -
Quote:That would be badass...but I'm also thinking overpowered.Originally Posted by McBoo
Sorry, I meant Short Circuit. SC+PS=drained mobs=good for crowd control!
1. Shocking Bolt
2. Lightning Bolt
3. Short Circuit
4. Ball Lightning
5. EM Pulse
> -
Does LR have an attack that does strictly energy damage...or is it all energy and smashing?
I ask because I'm wondering how a softcapped s/l defense Electric armor tank would do...given that electric armor is capped energy resistant. -
Quote:Your joking right?Originally Posted by McBoo
I'm all for this but I'd like to see Power Sink in there somewhere; perhaps something like this:
1. Shocking Bolt
2. Lightning Bolt
3. Power Sink
4. Ball Lightning
5. EM Pulse

Electric Armor gets Power Sink/ -
Quote:900%?Originally Posted by Santorican
Passive regeneration only does so much, you either have a lot like 800% to 900% or less and go for other bonuses like defense and recharge. Don't let 50% less passive regeneration scare you because you won't be able to tell the difference.
Please show me that build. -
Still no replies...
I think that answers my question. -
I've started one of these and I'm currently at level 10.
It's "fun" so far. I always wanted to have a damage aura power and knockback resistance without needing IO's.
This set seems like a great AoE combo.
Has anyone made one of these into the higher levels?
If so, how does it/you play?
On paper it seems like this can be build to be pretty sturdy with good slotting and playstyle. -
Quote:I personally think super strength does great damage.Originally Posted by Darth_Vernon
I have Jab, Haymaker, Air Sup, KO Blow, Hand Clap, Rage, and Hurl. All my attacks are at least 5 slotted, KO Blow, Haymaker, and AS are 6 slotted. I also have Kick (unslotted), but dont use it.
I havent seen the animations on MA recently, are they cool? Which powers got changed?
Any Fire/SS/Pyre Tanks wanna chime in?
At least enough that when I'm soloing I'm not wishing I was a scrapper.
For Martial Arts...Storm Kick, Cobra Strike, Crippling Axe Kick and Eagle's Claw have alternate punch animations.
I don't care for them personally (meaning that they weren't enough for me to make a Martial Arts Scrapper)...but Haymakers new animation (from SS) and Crippling Axe Kicks new animation are the same. -
Quote:No SS on a Scrapper...although there is the new animations of Martial Arts.Originally Posted by Darth_Vernon
Ive seen the Fire/SS/Pyre build a few times on here in other topics. I always lean more towards Scrappers as they do more damage, but I can see the awesomeness that FE+Rage+knockout Blow+ Footstop are. I just hate having to wait so long in a build for decent attacks. I have a lvl 33 Inv/SS on Justice that hardly ever gets played cuz it feels liek he does no damage and soloing takes forever.
Maybe Im retarded or just can't think straight yet (no coffee), but can I do SS on a scrapper?
I have a Level 33 WP/SS Tank and I do good damage.
What attacks does your level 33 Inv/SS have? Are they slotted? Do you have Rage? -
Quote:I have not yet done that.Originally Posted by Desitre
So I'm just curious, have you tried to see how many AV's you can take on at once, not necessarily kill them but take the damage and not die?
Once I finish my pure TANK build I will see (I still need a few more Kinetic Combats to softcap my s/l defense).
Is there an AE mission where I can test this? -
Quote:Yeah, surviving was not an issue at all.Originally Posted by Call Me Awesome
It could be done with an Invuln; you'd need to have considerable recovery IO bonuses though. The problem is having the recovery for non-stop attacking over the 20+ minutes it'll take, actually surviving is trivial. My BS/Regen scrapper has solo'd a few AV's and even with that character my biggest problem was endurance.
With all my +recovery set bonuses and having the performance shifter proc in both QR and Stamina I never went below 50% endurance.
Obviously an invuln does not get QR but there is Conserve Power and Physical Perfection...so you should be able to overcome endurance concerns on an invuln.
