Oh snap! Yeah, I do notice this with my blasters all the time! I hit large mobs and I'm fine. I hit bosses and most times I have to take a couple runs at them to put them down. Interesting. I like that the Scrapper & Blaster arch types don't play the same and seem to require different combat strategies to win. That's so cool! I think I'm picking up what your dropping here. The difference between Scrapper & Blaster damage sets seems to be more centered on the method of damage dealing in combat and not the amount. Kind of like comparing apples and oranges essentially right?

I was noticing how rare respec recipes have become at the auction house (only 2 available for sale right now). Anyone who's seen this before have a guess as to how soon these shortages work themselves out? Thanks!

Hello all. Have primarily run blasters for damage dealing toons in this game but am thinking of finally dipping my toe into scrapper world. I like that scrappers have a protective secondary so they don't seem like they would be as much of a glass cannon as blasters but do scrappers have any other advantages over blasters that I'm overlooking?

Thanks so much for the advice and links to articles everyone, appreciate it!

Hello all. I think I understand how enhancements work overall but still had a couple specific questions about IO Enhancement sets. If I slot these as level 50's and I sidekick down to a much lower level of missions (say a level 8 Positron TF or something like that) how does that affect the level 50 set bonuses I'm receiving? Also, if I slot a LoTG recharge reduce or a Karma KB resist into a toggle power like Stealth as an example, will I still get the bonus from those if the toggle gets turned off?

Thanks everyone for your helpful feedback! I think my hang up with the epic power pools for this toon, based a lot on what people were advising, is that A) I've never played a controller before and B) I've never played this combo of powersets before. So I don't really understand the weaknesses and gaps in the powers very well yet. I suspect that will change once I make it to 30th level and beyond (about when you can start getting those powers anyway) so hopefully will have a better idea of what epic powers I need to get by then.

So I started a dark/dark troller up in Praetoria and I'm in love! Will continue to advance to 50 but when I look at the epic power pools my eyes glaze over and I really have no idea which of these pools (both ancillary and patron, as I haven't decided yet if she'll be a hero or villain) would fit well with these darkness powers. Any advice you could give me on this topic would be most appreciated!

Ha! I definitely have member berries of some of those names. Yes, welcome original team members! Happy 20th to you and everyone else who made/makes this game so much fun to play!

I was Hero Dawn. Just curious if any of you know whatever happened to Lord Goat? I remember he was a pretty cool leader and the reason I joined Dawn.

Thanks for the feedback. I thought that the Hide/Assassination dynamic was going to be more complicated than it turned out to be. I hardly notice having to wait before Hide has to kick in before I go after another mob spawn. Stalkers are really fun to play, at least in the early levels. run back around corners into areas of the map where there aren't enemies. You need to break LoS (line of sight). Ha! Took this advice when I accidently pulled 2 mob spawns at once. After running around a corner a couple times and running back again, the extra assassination hits went a long way in thinning out the crowd! Interesting idea. It looks like it can get you out of combat in a hurry if you're in over you're skis Yes, this! Is nice you can start loading them in at such a low level too! I'm running with early lightning attacks which can put peeps asleep. I understand that you get extra crit chances when Stalkers attack targets in that state so I can see myself easily falling into that habit. But I still think the extra assassination damage is worth the all of 2 seconds it takes for me to wait for Hide to come back up before I hit the next spawn ( I know, I know, I understand it's 8 seconds but it doesn't seem like it). But i'm a noob at this so what do I know?

I'm new to how to play a Stalker. Besides Placate type powers, how can I use movement powers to quickly leave combat to reset my Hide ability after I attack? What movement powers, if any, are better to use on Stalkers and why? And how long do I have to stay out of combat before my Hide will reset after an attack? Thanks!
