Man, I loved those games so much. Renegades and Renegades 2k for the freakin' win.

Females still use the male run animation when they have a Katana drawn. I suspect it is this way for all left handed weaponry.

All of them.

And thank you!

I like my SD/SS tank so far. I did see a SD tank repeatdly get dropped by LR in STF even with its def stacked with ice armor. Made taking the towers a pain. They may have to *cough* take tough and weave to survive such a task. Then again, I don't how the tank or the ice defender were slotted. I did see a soft cap SD/SS tank take on mobs in the supa dupa troll AE arc and pretty much did not get touched. That's not a farm. Just a real hard arc. Seeing that gave me something to look forward to on my tank.

[/ QUOTE ]

Its probably just slotting. last time I did an stf, our stone tanker got floored many many times. We ended up using a buffed sr scrap for our alpha soaker.

[/ QUOTE ]
That is a weird situation when the Scrapper out-tanks the Tank.

Even when I do survive beyond the Tanks in my groups I still don't feel like I am tanking. For one, I am not taunting at all. Ever. All the enemies that don't feel like attacking me spill over onto my team mates and that certainly isn't good tanking at all.

I have a Shield Defense Scrapper and it still doesn't feel like it gets the job done.

So to that I say:

Happy Birthday To Me!

Why don't I make this self-indulging post in a place where more people can see it? Because I love Scrappers. Sometimes I'll love you guys and gals too, but you have to give me money (or a really good Mid's build) for that.

I'm too cheap and too lazy to have any real event in-game for my birthday so this thread is my party and all of you Scrappers are invited!

These were my first characters made five years ago. Yes, the guy on the bottom right is Colonel Sanders.

Scrapper!

Technically, July 31st, 11:58 PM is still in July.

However, I would expect more juicy details by no later than Comi-con.

[/ QUOTE ]
No later than Comic-Con? Don't you mean this week? Or are you telling us we'll get Going Rogue info this week and I16 info at Comic-Con?

I hope we don't get another week by week info-bit feed up until the week of Comic-Con. Yuck.

Hahah.

Makes me want to play my MA/Inv.

What were the powersets of the Scrappers, if you wouldn't mind sharing? Sounds like fun and I wish I could've joined.

Make a Fire Claws/Fire Armor Scrapper.

Just a small suggestion but - I've always thought that Resilience should be a scaling Resistance power for enemies within range. Up to ten enemies, possibly? Only the scale is backwards of say, a Soul Drain. You get a tiny bit with one enemy, but near the tenth enemy you get the most Resist from Resilience. Change the power to a toggle if it must.

That would also be a good place to put the Taunt aura in if it ever gets ported over to Tanks and Brutes.

Those are some great suggestions, Umbral. Thumbs up!

I have a feeling that when Regeneration gets proliferated over to Brutes and (especially) Tankers that there could be a big shakeup with the set. As it is, I think Regeneration would be laughable on a Tank. Especially in an eight person group situation, Taskforce or otherwise.

[ QUOTE ]
The thing that Regen needs most is something that every other set needs as well. Lag, including intentionally generated animation lag, is a serious problem for any set that relies on click powers. It does seem that the devs are resorting to making longer animations to tune attack set balances, knowing that no power selection or invention set is out there to reverse these changes.

Self-heals, click powers, and inspirations should be instant and take absolute priority from a systems perspective. They should take effect even if some other animation is playing and some other power is queued. They should be something that exists outside the regular power activation queue.

[/ QUOTE ]
This is something I've been wanting for a very long time. If they truly want to make Regen a reactive set, then freakin' make it so that the set can be fully reactive. Don't penalize us for using long animated attacks.

Perhaps, perhaps. But you cannot color Office Belt.

I don't care. Perhaps one day it may be colorable, but right now this is the shmexy belt I want!

Can I interest you in an SR-Regen Scrapper?
