If Kinetic Melee is too weak, then perhaps rebalancing it is easier than making a new set with the stated rational for existence is that KM is cool but too weak?

A cleverly disguised Nerf Hasten thread. Well Done. Well Done.

Confront works on runners Also Brutes get taunt auras and are close enough damage to scrappers you can go there for a specific combo. Id suggest SR, its really good on Brutes.

This. Luckily he didn't want to go so far as remove the ones that exist. So if you want to have a taunt aura on a Scrapper play one of the sets that get them. There's several good choices.

Kheld Dwarf Form should have a Taunt Aura built in

Divine Avalanche can help with Def debuffs. Also, Gets you to the incarnate softcap when you need it. Still though, Energy Drain probably covers this stuff.

Yeah because the stronger attack staff animations are kind of long, replacing one of the attacks with a really fast assassin strike instead really benefits the set thus the stalker benefits. The same can be said for Kinetic Melee. Both also get full build up powers in their stalker version, without losing the lil damage trick that supposedly is why the scrapper version does not.

EA does have the advantage of a toggle status protection.

Ninja not fit the concept? It has some cool stuff also esp. The scrapper one.

This one is actually on some list that they would like to do I believe. Since Capt Powerhouse said as much. So more a case of waiting on their turn.

One Two Three Crunch! The world may never know.

Geese may also be evil. But Ducks do not get a pass. No Whataboutism in Bird nastiness!

Yeah probably. Its a great boss killer since you have a lot of good ST attacks And it exemps really well since you can get many of them early But compared to STJ its noticeably lacking at higher levels, better off just doing Scrapper with MA TBH.

This.

Disappointed that you threw out the most fun way, teaming. Short of that, grabbing the Kinetic Barrier temp power can help a lot with defense.

Yeah but its only 21 and 11 when exemplared. You level so fast these days... Energy Aura never gets an Aggro Aura for Scrappers, right? Just a Debuff? Not that EA isn't awesome. Willpower get one of course. Willpower is one of the best Scrapper Secondaries. With no really "holes" Only some Status vulnerabilities (mainly slow)

Three words Necrophiliac Rapist Ducks

AOE is important. The devs thought it wouldn't be. They were wrong. Newer sets have the same AOE as Scrappers STJ and Staff would work for Natural.

There are some that didn't work for me So may be difficult to do them all?

Lies!

You know ducks are evil, right?

all rezzes need to work before you die to have use in todays game Basically work depending on set as a complete heal from almost dead, to a Nuke, to a big debuff whatever. I think only Howling twilight currently works as an awesome power even if no one dies, more of this.

That and he's calling you "DUDE!"

My strongest Stalker is STJ/EA which is 8 purple sets, perma hasten, no expense spared, etc. Can charge into 54x8 missions ahead of teams without a care in the world, etc, etc. Hit Energy Drain maybe once an hour. Hit Energize maybe twice that often. Savage/EA should be just as strong or stronger in normal play I expect.

You really have to take all of these due to the ST weakness of the set. The only thing id skip is Lightning Clap. Even though its all right with some procs and a KB to KD
