    Oh yeah ... that's right.
    There isn't any.

    Resistance and Regeneration always get a free pass whenever the difficulty gets upped.
    Sure, except when enemy powers get flagged Unresistable.

    But I guess that is a moot point - Unresistable damage seems to be paired with Autohit wherever it is to be found.

    Fwooooooosh!!!! Poor Cimerorans. You can see their silhouettes inside the flame, all of them screaming in pain.

    I love the Pyro Judgement!

    I've been Tanking some of these and leading too, without dying once on my Scrapper.

    My group of friends and I have been running a lot of the BAF and Lambda Trials. Of all the Trials I've been on at day 1 and on, we've won them all. This is a blast! I'm seriously having so much fun!

    My friends and I are seriously impressed with the Trials, but even more so with the new Incarnate powers. I'm already 50(+2)!

    Wow. Just nothing but good things to say about the new UI when doing our Hamidon raid. Being able to invite everyone, sort them out, and see everyone's HP in a grid has made our two runs on Pinnacle tonight that much smoother!

    Hami League in action!
  9. bAss_ackwards
    There's definitely synergy with the -ToHit/-Regen Interface on a Dark/Dark Scrapper. The -Regen would also be great for AV fights. Your teams would greatly appreciate that!
  10. bAss_ackwards
    I've got the components for my Judgment power, just need to unlock it. Haven't had time to play until late night.

    Also: KABOOM!

    When Bill Z Bubba was playing, wasn't he saying that the Brute version of Claws was superior, because of the ways it was changed when proliferated over? Feed that back into the Scrapper Claws and they'd pull out ahead again.
  12. bAss_ackwards
    There are so many Scrappers that I want to make. About the only set that I wouldn't do anything with on a Scrapper would be Stone Armor. Everything else though, Energy Armor, Battle Axe, etc. I have a character in mind that is waiting to be made!
  13. bAss_ackwards
    I promise I'll be good to my fellow Scrappers from now on.

    Well, at least until the next April 1st.

    That's actually a good question to be asking now, for when Ice Armor does get proliferated over.

    Regen. Who's still playing that set?
  16. bAss_ackwards
    So with the recently announced powerset proliferation in I20, Scrappers are getting Ice Armor for their Secondaries, War Mace and Super Strength for their Primaries.

    I've always wanted to create Scrappers with all three of these sets. Now I ask you, Scrapper community: Which of these would have a big WOW! factor in looks and numbers? I would be pairing Spines with Ice Armor, War Mace with Shield Defense, and Super Strength with Shield Defense.

    Thanks in advance for the input!

    This is my setup:

    Anything that shows up in the last spot gets used immediately. If it cannot be used it is deleted or passed off to another team mate. Higher ranked Inspirations go to the top.
  18. bAss_ackwards
    I like Inspirations. They're this game's potions only they don't need crafting, they're abundant, and they fit this game's theme.

    Thanks for the update! It appears that Incarnate and Accolade toggles are Off by default, and are not being switched On/Off by loading any builds either. Turning both of them on, saving the file, closing the program, starting up Mids' and then loading the saved file also does not affect the Incarnate and Accolade toggles. It just seems to be default Off upon starting the program and the toggle persists between any build you load.
  20. bAss_ackwards
    Can't help you on the Breath of Fire part, but you might be able to get some ideas from what I have for my Fire/Fire/Fire build. It's got pretty good Endurance management and Healing Flames is up every 11.44 seconds. Have you considered what your attack chain might be for single target and AoE? That too might affect your build.

    This is your crowning moment of awesome: being a scratching post for a lazy cat girl or getting stuck down by a Roomba while beating up abused prisoners/mental patients.

    It's like my comic book dreams come true...?




    .
    Oh boy. Here we go again.

    You're just an Incarnate pup. Do you think you should be able to withstand those directly strengthened by the Well on your own?

    The Well can empower any origin, whether it's that dreadful Roomba you fear, or an animal-human hybrid science experiment.
