Thanks for the replies all.

Things have got a bit easier of late, notably since getting Unyielding and chucking some DOs in my defences. For some reason I can't fathom now, I had managed to take Resist Elements in preference to Dull Pain. I've decided to push back Focus for a few levels to fit it in.

After a few months off, I've come back to CoX and am trying various new things. One of which is my Claws/Inv scrapper, currently at 14. I like the character, the concept, and the powers, but the last couple of levels have been horrific. To repeat, horrific.

Admittedly, I've been on some teams that should not have been - 7 blasters and poor old me trying my hardest to be a stand-in tank - and I've been spending too much time with the Vahz, but I'm dying a hell of a lot. Bars and bars of debt. Even solo, on Heroic, I'm having to pop insps to get through some spawns.

Now, I know Claws is less about damage than being able to fight forever, and, having played an Inv tank up to 35, I know my secondary won't really kick in for a while yet. Ultimately, the plan is to be a terrier, Joe Pesci in Casino, the guy who you just can't knock down (his origin is that he's a relentless assassin spirit who has managed to escape from the magic lamp in which he was trapped). But I'd like a bit of reassurance that this guy is worth struggling on with.

So any opinions from Claw/Inv players, or Claw/* or */Inv, or any other random folk, would be very welcome.

I could play, depending on when I can get out of work - my planned early exit has already been foiled by a 4:15 meeting, hopefully this won't drag on much. Just reached 30 as well.

Thanks for inviting me...there I was anticipating a long evening grinding up to 19, logged off 4 ish hours later having got to 21 hardly noticing.

Great team.
