How much are you willing to spend on the build? A lot = Invulnerability. Much less = Super Reflexes.
-
More movement in combat. Better (and more complete) job of power customization.

"Accept certain inalienable truths, damage mitigation won't rise, the devs won't balance the secondaries, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young damage mitigation was higher, the devs used to listen, and newbs weren't noobs. You'd probably be right on the damage mitigation part: everyone else has been so far."
I'm glad I am not the only one eating such tasty crow.
Scrappers have been so much fun over the years I just rolled three more for giggles.

Don't forget that in the bad old days, one of the things that was a big problem for a scrapper was how the game handled moving targets. If you were chasing an enemy and you were right on top of them, you were not actually in melee range according to the game. You had to be 5-7 yards ahead of them in order to attack them. This was quite frustrating for any melee character.
One of my favorite Scrapper screenshots:
Everyone was knocked out except for the little ol' Scrapper that sliced and diced the Phalanx Computer into nothingness.

The Steampunk Jumpack lets you, well, jump around to get to your destination.

Quote:I think Scrappers are one the most solid ATs and have been for a while, if not the most solid AT out there.Originally Posted by UberGuy
Thanks to the perception that Blasters were more effective, safer damage (how things have changed, eh?), giving Scrappers more (random) burst damage was probably seen as a "quick fix". It was billed as making us "boss killers". For how people played at the time, I think that probably made some sense. It set us all on an interesting road, though - one that I think shaped how other melee ATs work since they were (eventually) balanced with respect to Scrappers without Scrappers really changing that much over time.

Thanks for the build.
Not my style, to be honest, but I took the basic idea and boosted up to 40.5%.
Thanks everybody for posting your Scrapper stories! Many a great things have happened over these 7 years with the Scrapper community and I am glad I was a part of it! -

Gratz.

I asked about anymore Powerset Proliferation in 2011, but alas no reply. There are a lot of things that can still be proliferated over that many-a-people are yearning for. I just don't see how that isn't a top-request item from players.

By the way, /ah works too. I ended up binding the Auction House Anywhere to my Y key withCode:What a weird feeling I get when I'm selling and buying various things in the middle of the RWZ. I feel like I'm cheating when I use this ability!

I seriously can't wait to dig into this new zone! I wish we got more info on it!

Quote:Indeed. I would remake my Dual Pistols/Energy Manipulation if I could get */Martial Arts in there!Originally Posted by Carnifax_NA
The same way the NRG, Elec, Fire and Ice secondaries do?

Quote:I can help you out with the Elec/Elec build! I came up with something that I am very satisfied with. The kind of Regeneration and Endurance Reduction the build gets because of perma-Energize is incredible! Top it off with Rebirth and you'd get an insane amount of HP/sec (682% Regen!) or go with the Barrier Destiny for more Defense/Resist!Originally Posted by DoctorWhat
My own first toon was a BS/Regen. Can't remember the issue, pre-i6 anyway.
Oddly since I quit then returned I've been playing Tankers more than Scrappers. Still right now I have a high level (41) BS/SD Scrapper on a side burner and new Elec/Elec that seems promising. Although in mids I can only get her S/L Def to 35%... Not sure if that's common for scraps or not with a non-def based toon. Maybe I'll post the build for review sometime.
Anyhow, all said if I main Tankers then Scrapper's what I use when I feel different.Hero Plan by Mids' Hero Designer 1.93

Quote:UGH. I remember that post.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Actually I'm guessing it's far more likely that some twit would find Simian costume choices offensive. Like the moron that claimed the Science Booster was promoting cross dressing/gender bending and would corrupt children.
Luckily for us that person seems to have gone away a few months after that. -
Good to know! It looks like Mids' is reflecting that correctly then.

Quote:Thanks!Originally Posted by EvilRyu
If its an IO defense or tohit set then yes, but you have to ask yourself if you need vengance up more than it is normally is your team doing something wrong?
-
Vengeance normally does not allow you to place a Recharge Enhancement in it, but if I put an IO Enhancement that has Recharge will the power be ready to use sooner?
Thanks in advance!

Had a lot of fun watching that livestream. I (and plenty of others) flipped out when we saw the Steampunk stuff. That set looks great! DAY ONE PURCHASE!

The really cool thing with Interface + Vanguard elemental weapons is that you can simulate the element they are. With Fire Claws, you can use the Reactive Interface for the Fire DoT. With Negative Energy Claws, you can use the -ToHit Reactive. Etc.
