I suspect because the devs are reluctant to give a powerset to an AT that could softcap with it with literally no effort. Tanker SR would softcap with just the powers contained in the set using SOs.
I am of course operating on the assumption that it would be balanced relative to scrappers in the same way Shield Defense is. In which case tanks would get 15% out of the toggles and I believe it was 7.5% out of the passives, before slotting. When I figured it out tanks would get around 47% defense with no IOs slotted whatsoever, and without any pool powers.
The downside to that is an SR tank would be helpless against certain things (a spawn of DE ripped through my SR brute like he didn't even HAVE a secondary. I literally jumped into a spawn and slumped to the ground before I even landed)
As far as jumping into a bunch of Rularuu Overlords or Devouring Earth, Ice Armor and Shield Defense have that problem, to a lesser extent. At least they have tools to deal with such encounters; Hoarfrost and Shield Charge. Ice on Tankers even get to the softcap (well, within 1.7%) of S/L/E/N on SOs and no power pools. Sure it has the holes for F/C, but the Cold Resist is capped at 90%, from the total of something ridiculous of 120%. So there is the F/P holes. Shield Defense on a high end build can get capped DDR.
But I'm going offtopic, so enough of this for me. Sorry! -
Quote:I really dislike the idea of Tanks and Brutes "never" getting Broadsword/Katana, similar to how I do not like how Scrappers are "never" getting Super Strength or Energy Melee.Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
Maybe that's WHY they didn't get Broadsword. Well that and the fact that Parry would probably be overpowered on a tank. (Brutes didn't get Broadsword ether.....)
I'd be rolling a Dark Armor/Broadsword the day it's proliferated if they ever DO get it though.
I suspect Tanks won't be getting SR either (Since Tanker SR would be softcapped without even trying)
I know you didn't use the word never, but I wanted to use it because it feels like some stuff is never going to get ported over.
Why not let Tanks have Super Reflexes? Not everybody wants to use a shield or ice armor for Defense. The balancing, I leave up to the developers. Eff, why am I talking about Tanks? I don't even like that AT! -

I'll join the spines/ice crowd, I've been wishing for the combination since power proliferation was first discussed. Plus with customization, you can make spines look MORE like bananas. I'll probably make a spines/ice something named Bananas Froster.
...and then make one with a name that I can live with.

Well, I didn't die 121 times. I'm going to totally guess and say five times? No real idea. I wasn't counting. Didn't really care. Hell, I brought my Regen to the all scrapper ITF I did BECAUSE I thought it would be challenging what with him having no defense debuff resistance. My Super Reflexes would have been boring.
Look, part of the reason for doing an all Scrapper task force is to just cut loose, and not worry about squishies, and not worry about doing anything "right", and just kill or be killed. So what if you get separated from your group, dive into a pile of enemies you don't think you can handle, and it turns out you were right? It's just a trip from the hospital.
Play MoSTF if you want. Play right if you want. I was just there for the Scrapping.
I was in it for the thrill of having eight enforcers-of-violence go through some difficult content. I could've brought my Broadsword/Shield Defense Scrapper and died less, but I didn't really care about that. I brought my Fire/Fire Scrapper instead and put down some serious firepower.

True. It's weird... on one hand, I hope they don't proliferate *everything*, just so each archetype has at least one set that it will never share. At the same time, I don't want that set to be Ice Armor... but ice/ice is all tanks have left. So ugh.

This pack is perfect for the addition of a vuvuzela. Just sayin'.
-
For the past packs I've felt that the developers have done right by us. At least, done right by me. Spending the money was easy for me. This time isn't easily justified for me, but I'll still get it because I like new shinies.

Quote:This is least exciting pack for me thus far, but I will not be skipping it.Originally Posted by Partsman
I guess the party had to come to an end sometime. This will be the first pack I will pass on, and with absolutely no regrets. Meh.

I thought it weird that Tanks never got Broadsword after Shield Defense. Board and Sword is a classic "Tank" loadout in a lot of MMOs.
-
So that's where the dance emotes went to. When I asked in a Q&A if there would be new dance emotes in Going Rogue and they said yes, I didn't expect them to back out of the statement and shuffle them into a Party Pack.
-
What was the completed time and death count? Hrm... this might be a new Scrapper thing.
Your team sure likes SR! -

Would be nice if I could play around with a Spines/Ice build in Mids.
And yes, power customization is the one big factor that made me even consider the set for the first time. Well, second I guess, since the first time I considered it I probably said, "Banana Melee? No thanks!" -
Quote:I wouldn't be against /Ice for Brutes. Might not help their Fury, but I wouldn't put that restriction out there.Originally Posted by Lobster
The waaaaaaiiiiiting is the haaaaaarrrrdeeest... part.
Yep, been waiting for that forever. And /ice for brutes!
I think my top Scrappers that I want to make that I cannot currently are Spines/Ice and War Mace/Shield Defense. Please please please let there be power proliferation in I19.
-
There needs to be a round two where we get a better time and less deaths.
This time I will be sure to count exactly how many times I die.

An ounce of mitigation is worth a pound of regen.

Holy slows batman!

Still doesn't work. Go ahead and make a new post and paste it there. Remember, just hit Submit after pasting it. Previewing the post will break the link.

Post the build again, but do not hit Preview. Instead, just press Submit. Otherwise it will break the data link.

Does Iggy count as a nuke? Because if not he should. Or is that a different Iggy? =)
Yeah, that's Iggy, Werner, me, and uh... damn, I forgot who the others were. Doh. -
Somewhat related:
There any way to get Ice Armor for Scrappers on the list of Secondaries in Mids? I'd like to make a Spines/Ice build for myself without completely destroying the program if possible.

Quote:I had a ton of fun on that STF. I did end up dying around 6 or 7 times through the all Scrapper STF and Ghost Widow was many of them. Maybe a Regen can out-live the damage on her Hold, but my Fire/Fire just kinda fell into a lump.Originally Posted by Hejtmane
It was a Broad Sword Shield that Tanked Recluse and yes the towers is what caused us the biggest issue due to the repairmen bug. I was one of two people to die to GW and man that was not even my good fire/sd build that I have now. She never got her hold of on us.
We did this on the test server it was much fun and before that we did an all scrapper ITF

Quote:One of these days Regeneration will be up for proliferation and it is going to get some nice buffs. On that day, I may even play the set again.Originally Posted by SpiderTeo_OC
Willpower's Fast Healing has a -regen debuff resistance...
