  1. Interesting. Thanks for the insight, je_saist.
  2. Heh, sometimes I play the "press hover just before you hit the ground" game while I'm waiting around for people.
  3. Get better soon Posi, Mod8, and whoever else was there and caught the bug.
  4. That's weird. I was reading your post thinking, "Yeah, Katana/Regen sounds good for him." and then you went and said it. Seriously, Divine Avalanche and Quick Recovery at low levels. What's not to love?

    I liked the crystal spines quite a bit. I might actually make a serious spines character for the first time in five years of this game.

    Pax

    Hrm, I wonder if they'll say anything significant about Going Rogue at PAX.
  7. Oh, if faces are included too then Face 6 (I think that's the one) wins hands down for me. I use that on every freakin' female character I make.
  8. Waiting on I16 to make my characters the way they were meant to be!

    Maybe next week?
  9. I've been addicted to the ninja mask for a very long time now.
  10. Woo hoo! Gimmie my I16 nao please!
  11. Oh hell, I started doing this before I16 was even in closed beta.

    I have two freakin' Broadsword/Shield Defense Scrappers simply because they wouldn't dare to share their themes on just one character:



    What a waste of character space, some might say. Not I!
  12. Curses. Now I'm getting all antsy waiting for them to come back up.

    So that said, are Fire/Fire Scrappers any good?

    I mean, i know /Fire isn't the sturdiest of sets, but it does get a nifty heal so besides that, how survivable is the set?

    Basically what i'm getting here at is that what level of performance should i be expecting from the set(s) compared to say.. /Dark, /Regen or /Shield for an example?
    Fire/Fire is an absolute blast! With Tough and any form of KB protection you will be set to go as far as normal play goes. Healing Flames is your survivability workhorse. Put recharges into it and think about getting Haste. To push the damage machine even further you can invest in Weave as well as +Defense IOs. I like to go the softcapped Melee Defense route with my Fire/Fire.

    Getting Blaze Mastery will be even better on a Fire/Fire since Firey Embrace gives a higher +Damage buff for Fire attacks. Delicious!
  14. Ya got me, Sam. It was an elaborate hoax carried out by me!
  15. Scraplock is cruise control for cool.

    Hey now, I like my underscore. You leave it alone!
  17. Thank you and I wish you both well.

  19. Very much wondering what the 5th power will be for Body Mastery and Darkness Mastery. Hrm...

    Blaze Mastery

    To be pun-tastic, the Melt Armor we'd get would be the watered down version of the Corruptor version (AKA - what Tanks have.)

    I would be fine with that.

    Heh, that's a good idea.
