Oh, and another non-animal-headed costume making use of the animal fur option (and the savage emote):
Amazing Ape in his skivvies!
Someone had mentioned not being able to do proper briefs on the furry legs... But I thought this worked pretty well (with dark colors for the briefs, at least... they're still hairy, if you look closely... but, for the most part, I did not notice while play testing with this costume).
And just for good measure...
Amazing Ape (aka Professor Silverback) pondering things (once again using the savage emote)...

Why are you using Fire Blast? I thought Gloom was the only good APP/PPP blast, and we don't even get that one.

If you're not holding too much aggro, maybe you aren't trying hard enough?
But seriously, I think more Scrapper secondaries need taunt auras. Everytime I go from playing my WP or SD scrapper to my SR, I feel sad.

No. I said that it's apparent from the design of the Scrapper AT that holding aggro is not their purpose. The basis of my argument is that Scrappers hold aggro TOO WELL*, so saying that they can't would be retarded.
*For their own good
I have 2 level 50 Shield Defense Scrapper, 1 42 Shield Defense Scrapper, 1 39 Shield Defense Scrapper, 3 level 50 Invulnerability Scrappers, and 5 level 50 Willpower Scrappers. None of them have ever felt like they were holding too much aggro for their own good in my time I've spent with them. -

Sam, that looks like one hell of a sleep-deprived panda. Good grief, have you been telling her to work 23 hour shifts?

Quote:But what about the 3rd school?Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
There are 2 schools of thought on doing that with a Broadsword/Shield character.
1) Softcap using set bonuses, Weave, Maneuevers, Combat Jumping, etc. and drop Parry from your build altogether.
2) Use Parry to help you softcap to melee attacks, and focus your slotting on Ranged and AoE. The theory here being that if you aren't IN melee range of anything, you don't need melee defense, and if you ARE in melee range, it is pretty easy to just open your attack chain with Parry and get your defense at the same time. Ideally, you still want your melee defense to be at or slightly above 30%, so you only need to use Parry once to softcap.
3) Keep both the Softcap and Parry. Use Parry when there are enemies that have an Accuracy or ToHit bonus.

Hey all, thought I'd jump in and ask for some input as well. I think that my attack chains would be these...
Single: Hack>Disembowel>Hack>Head Splitter
Am I correct? Anyways, in regards to One with the Shield, I think I could use Conserve Power to mitigate the 60% Endurance crash. That should allow me to fully recover while still in combat (as in doing my attack chains), yeah?
AoE: Slice>Whirling Sword>Slice>Head Splitter

Quote:What happens in two more years?Originally Posted by End Sinister
I'm beginning to think that the suspicions of the server loads only appearing to be at higher capacity are just that; an appearance. I'm on right now and Virtue is in three red, yet the zones are virtually empty. Not everyone is plowing down enemies on their fifties right now... Again, I hope this game holds out for two more years.

But you could have perma-Soul Drain in addition to your Fury!

Quote:It helps because if you run around the room "taunt aura tagging" them, they will chase you into melee and then stay there.Originally Posted by Vanden
I...don't understand how a taunt effect helps with that.

There's not always a Brute or a Tank on the team (or Scrappers for that matter) so having those Taunt Auras also are of great help to the squishies on the team, allowing them to use AoE's on a concentrated group of enemies without any retaliation.

I noticed that if you use the minotaur head without the nose ring/horns, thin and elongate the face, it looks very close to a horse head. Anyone want to be the first to try it and post a pic here?

Quote:Now I want to know what you looked back on. Blah, you terrible tease.Originally Posted by Noble Savage
But of course! Since the system's pretty well set up at this point, I don't feel the need to comment unless something major comes up, but rest assured that everything is read, and we certainly note the great ideas.
Sidenote: we had a project TODAY, in fact, that specifically benefited from going back to some of the earlier ATA posts. There was a sub-topic that was suddenly relevant again, and I remembered reading some excellent suggestions. Now they'll be put to use. Coincidence, but a great illustration of how these threads have been helpful. -

The "Grid" thing is a Vertical Launch System cell:

Each little square is a separate launcher. The whole cell can throw out an amazing amount of firepower. The gun is a little utility tool by comparison.
