It has some utility to it, the -ToHit, and namely the (up to) 20% heal you can get to happen every 3 seconds kind of balances the lack of damage. That's just how Dark sets are usually. Trade some of the main component for utility, and the melee variant here is no different.

Nope, but now I wanna make one after I finish leveling and kitting out my savage/shield scrapper. Inv in general is pretty solid. Can get perma capped HP, capped s/l resist and decent numbers for the other res, softcapped typed def (except psi/toxic). You'll be sturdy against most things, leaving you to focus on the savagery.

You can use any image editor to cut diagonals of each character screenshot, and then line them up side by side. Give it a try yourself! 😄

The Lethal Ladies were a solid group, loved playing with them and just chatting around! Being an AV tank on a Scrapper is pretty fun from time to time. 💪

Heroes may grow old, but Legends never die. Good to see you again, old friend. 😎

Asking the right questions here! 💪😎👍

I sea what you did there.

Many teams can also have hard or soft crowd controls as part of their regular attacks or as part of their deliberate mass control abilities, which can eliminate a lot of the "getting hit" part. Regardless of lower caps, I always prefer Scrapper because at any moment you can flip out and hit for double damage. 💥

There's a name I recognize, after all these years still rocking Claws/SR? 😉 I guess don't fix what ain't broke, I'm still a big fan of DM/Inv. 🤣

Of course I play the game. Why wouldn't I? 😎

It still is! I remade my main from the live servers back in the day the moment I heard news a while back that Homecoming got the official license. Succubus Kali - Scrapper (Dark Melee - Invulnerability)-v006-Incarnate.mbd

👋 CoH was a home for me since its beta. Played it for years and eventually got hired onto the Paragon Studios team, which then helped me kickstart my 10+ year career in the games industry. 🥳 It means the world to me! I'm glad to be back Home. 🌆 Definitely seeing some names that I recognized from way back when. Been mostly lurking, but it is good to see both old and new faces here. 🦸‍♂️

Would be nice if it had absorb like the Sentinel version. IO-ing it out for Def also helps greatly, as do Incarnate ablities. Will still be behind other sets, but can become more comfortable with more difficult content. Also wish it had higher -regen resist. It should be an absolute king at regen and keeping it that way, despite debuffs.

Brawl is a very early game filler, and can be used as a set mule. Either of the Scrapper AT IOs will not be able to do anything for Brawl, and would put part of the attack chain using it at a lesser potential for damage output.

I was running into a bug when I tried bow and dual pistols. I could only get one visible pistol (even when drawn) and one bow, or two pistols and one invisible bow (also when drawn). Good luck! 😆

Regen is a good meme. Don't let anyone say otherwise. 😤 Immortal Engine - Scrapper (Katana - Regeneration) 02.mbd

We had a sniper set that was documented. Something about a mechanic that involved getting a bead on the target. Not sure how complete the design was though.

Yes but... have you heard of the rule of cool? 😎 As long as something is not so incredibly far behind the theme, etc. can make a character so much fun to play!

Very welcome! Vengeance is there to push +Def further, but hopefully you're on a team where you won't have to use that often. Also being able to dive into crowds to get even more +Def and +Regen. Some decent +Res and +HP so you don't fold like a paper cup if something does go through (more like a double layered carboard cup!) Can probably get rid of Acrobatics once you get Clarion Core Epiphany, but it is nice to have as you level up to 50 and towards that Incarnate ability.

I forgot to share it yesterday, but here you go today! 😅 Sneak-Attack - Blaster (Archery - Ninja Training)-04.mbd

Have a sneaking suspicion they would just turn it into Build Up. 🤔

Sure I can share when I get home. Though my builds are not the norm. I like challenging myself to build durable characters. 😆

Huh... never knew power boost affected +def toggles. Might need to update one of my builds. 🤔

Maybe we're all confused at how its supposed to work.
