Everquest? "SoW plz" "Train to zone!" 😁 Welcome to the City of Heroes! (and sometimes Villains) 🦸

Before HC, I had an AR/Dev Blaster named The Pun-Issuer 😁

There are some benefits. If you get hit with a Defense Debuff and go from 45% to 40%, you're now at 10% hit chance. If you're going from 50% to 45%, you're still at 5% hit chance. If your build can afford the buffer because of low to non-existent Defense Debuff Resists without sacrificing other parts of the build, I say why not? It will also help with Incarnate content, which has a higher softcap percentage.

Welcome back. 🥳

We're the masters of melee, the deadliest of duelers, the supreme sluggers! Super Strength fits right in for Scrappers. 💪 The HC team have kept the game fun and alive, and I trust that if they were to bring Super Strength to Scrappers that they'd know how to go about it. 😎

Massive thanks to the Homecoming team for bringing back our city, and to all the players that help keep it running! I'm so happy that developement of the game continues and look forward to seeing what's coming in the future! superstrenghtforscrappers

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!
