    Who was that person that said we'd be losing slots because of Fitness being an Inherent pool?

    Hey lady. Just like texting while driving, Twittering while horse riding is illegal.

    Some of them need to learn what ease-in, ease-out means. Of the new animations, some are simply A-to-B translations, and that kills me on the inside.

    Same.

    My favorite post made by him is still in my signature.

    So does anyone have a link to his personal blog? I remember he had one made a while ago. I guess that too could have been vaporized.

    Do you know what primary you'll be using? That can have a slight or significant change on how a secondary is set up.
  23. bAss_ackwards
    No further improvements? Then this is as close to final as I'll get for now. Thanks very much my friends for all of the input!
  24. bAss_ackwards
    When you have both is when it gets really fun. One of the reasons why I enjoy Invulnerability so much. Sure, the Fire/Cold/Energy/Negative Energy Resists are a little on the low side, but the Smashing/Lethal Resists are way up there for a Scrapper. On a higher end build you can even softcap all of the typed Defenses (except for Psi) with only one foe in melee. Awesome.
  25. bAss_ackwards
    Modifying that build to my liking, I got it softcapped on S/L/F/C/E/N, reduced some of the Endurance drain, put Endurance/Recharge IOs in the spot you left me for the three attacks, and changed the Heal/Endurance Doctored Wounds to Recharge/Endurance. I did lose the Perception IO, but I don't mind. It was just a nice bonus. It looks like I will be using Dark Consumption for Endurance recovery once again. This is turning out to be quite the excellent build, and without having to load up on several sets of Purple/PVP IOs at that! I am very pleased with the stats.
