I want to start a crab soldier but i dont want the crazy spider legs,..can u take off or will the show on all the different costumes? thx

May I off another alternative. Have a look at the epic Arachnos Soldier,..in the in the initial set u have AOE ( -def,.-res,..immobilize) add that with double leadership for ALOT (+22% ish def,..30%dam,..18%ish TO HIT) then add in the other abilities like Surveillance large single target -res all that and more BEFORE u rven count side pools or PATRON POWER pools for more buffs and debuffs.

alot of COT maps have dam. aura crystals in then,. If ur lucky u may find a dam. and a regen 1 close enough to use both at same time.

You are right,..I wasn't clear enough in my original post, that's on me, but i also was snarky or insulting either. BTW that to ALL who posted I've enjoyed lively debate around the subject. also this post wasn't mad in reference to a fire armor scrapper. I was actually testing out the new stone armor running some +2x8 and maria jenkins arc,. when I kept seeing ALOT or runners I then realized how much my other scrappers get runner to,.and yes I HATE RUNNERS. again thx all for the discussion.

because they are an arc type playable in the game. this is what I'm saying, even brute regen has a taunt aura why not make the same argument for brutes,..we as players have been told since day one of COV release, "BRUTES ARE NOT TANKS" but every scrapper primary has a SINGLE target taunt in confront,..why not make that an aoe taunt but like brutes and tanks?

OK to drop some EDUCATION on the other wise UNEDUCATED,. the fallowing SCRAPPER secondary's already have a taunt aura of 300% BIO ARMOR,..ENERGY AURA,..RADIATION ARMOR,..SHEILD DEFENCE AND WILL POWER yet none of the armors with a damage aoe has taunt nor does regen,..ninjitsu or super reflexes,. or the upcoming stone armor i was only asking for the armors that DONT HAVE a built in taunt,.

CAN we get some taunt on scrappers mainly in aoe powers,.. TANKS have 400% BRUTES have 300% can get scrapper get something like 100% just to keep mobs from running,..

DONT forget bout the new enhancements on test,.. The new combinations are as follows: Endurance Modification/Accuracy Endurance Modification/Recharge Accuracy/Range Damage/Endurance Damage/Recharge Heal/Accuracy Heal/Recharge Slow/Recharge/Endurance Threat/Accuracy/Recharge the END MOD/RECH and the HEAL/RECH.

OK so i spent the past 2 days playing around with this set on a scrapper. Just for clarification i have on TORCH a 50 decked stone tanker built for "NON GRANIT" and a high lvl brute . MY though are - STONE SKIN, very nice change,..balances out the hole set,.. - BRIMESTONE ARMOR,..also a very welocme change,..whats the proc % ?,..varies be cast time i know but it also has to fallow a formula,. This i tested with BOXING and would get from 0-3 procs. AND the damage is what value? - CRYSTAL ARMOR,. another good change buuut,..20% is to low,..its needs 30% falt out,. AT 20% its giveing only .33 per second,..with 6 toggles running BEFORE even looking at leadership or fighting,. endurance consumption is around 1.5 end/sec,. increase to 30% -MINERALS, nice change of +15% recharge -EARTHS EMBRACE, again a welocme change,..PERHAPS you cold help off set the large END consumption by also adding some ENDURANCE,.SAY 10 PTS? JUST A THOUHGT -GEODE,..oh boy where to begin,..first its B I I I I G,...second if its a pet is there a no collision mechanic? I can see people blocking hallways,..doors,..caves with this thing. ONE other finale though,. With so many good picks in this set STONE ARMOR eats ALOT of enhancement slots,..i mean a lot.

HEAVY MALTETS description says nothing about a reduced crit. and every melee set and 1 "HIGH" dam. attack and 1 "SUPERIOR OR EXTREME" dam. attack

Any reason HEAVY MALLET does not have 100% crit dam. in game stats show its like 55 or 60% ??? this is for the scrapper version

SO i am very bad at math,..i currently have this proc. slotted in the epic pool power char, which has a 32 sec recharge. My question is too fold,.. 1 what's the proc. chance at 0% recharge vs. 50% 2 with the long recharge vs. 50% is there a best slotting to use this proc. or is another dam. proc just the better way to go. thx for all inputs.

Im not sure why the devs added that little effect without the no fx option. as i hate the look. but i SECOND,...this.

So i started a blaster "my first", and i went with a DP/Devices pairing. only lvl 12 atm, but it has no build up. So i was thinking of maybe taking combat tp and slot a GAUSSIAN % to build up in that. will this idea work?

While the sentinel is one way to go in ur efforts to remake a certain ice ninja from a certain fighting game,.. another way to go is the DOMINATOR.,..ICE/MARTIAL/LEVIATHAN,..you will all the toys and tricks plus some martial arts attack.,, just a thought.

A bit late to the thread,.. Have u looked at an ICE/EARTH,.. in EARTH u get 2pbaoe's and aoe toggle with an immob. 2 realy good melee attack. a powerbuild up that does enhance confuse( i belive),..abd more pluse u can recolor the earth to crystal with a white or light blue color scheme to match ICE,..it realy is a good melee dom.

I had thought about doing something similar "ff+RECH." proc. abuse,..but my idea was built around a GRAV/KIN troller and useing my singy to pul enemies in while i used REPEL to proc ff i havent done it yet but the idea is the same,

ths is true and it isnt. while this power works like a toggle now with respec to procs. it also summons a NEW pet that has a chance for procs. to go off every 5 seconds. thats twice as manny proc. checks as a normal standard toggle.

I have been using this combo with my troller, hes GRAV/PAIN. I just hit 50, not even alpha sloted yet, and ive been soloing at +2x5 fairly effectively. I slotted enflame with 3piece annihilation +3 dam. procs. this 1 power give me a goood amout of aoe to cove the very light aoe of grav. i have been looking lately at how to further utilize his this power and i was looking at grav/thorns with its aoe +all the -def. thorn burst itself can slot 2 -res procs. and it can also have a prett good single target rotation also. The other ideas i had for enflame was grav/traps and grav/ta with all the aoe debuffs from thoses 2 sets u could realy make enflame a beast.

I my not completely understand what goes on in a HAMI raid, but it sounds like u need to look at RAD ARMOR. RAD armor can cap toxic resist.,..can cap rech. RESIST at 90%,..has 3 heals,..1 being a BIG abosorbe sheild that cant be reduced or negated as far as i know. 2 end powers u can slot 2 performance +end along with paancea +hp/end ,eam even if recovery is debuffed to 0 u still gain some end. just sound to that rad armor covers most if not all debuffs hami throughs out. so maybe A dark/rad brute or tank?

ICE armor on scrappers has one of the best tier 9 powers IN THE GAME. One would think that 200% base recovery + END DRAIN would be enough.,

PSI attacks made by enemies in game are ALWAYS ranged or aoe,.. You will have to build for those 2 positions in order to build defense for psi. Its often much easier to just build +res. and use inspirations for def.

You could also do a KAT/WILL brute or tank take MU epic and play a VADER CLONE. IF only the had a glowie type staff,..a MAUL toon would be wikedly cool.

Might I suggest you also consider NINJITSU. Easy to soft cap and with stealth you ALWAYS open a fight with a 100% crit on first attack, making better use of EAGLE CLAW then normally would get.

IF your looking for an alternative to bio, YOU might look at RADIATION ARMOR. the tier 9 has a 33% damage boost, combine that with the ability to slot SEVERAL -res proc.s can make a very damage intensive secondary.
