Poison Trap doesn't take ACC IOs, so does it automatically hit?

Last I recall reading it was still a top set, however, people may not care for the feel of the set any more and it's not as far on top as it used to be.

Never made a Traps before! I'm hearing skip Time Bomb. I'm seeing Seeker Drones taken and not taken. Same with Triage Beacon. Idea is to kill AVs/GMs Thoughts on the build from those in the know?

I hear Ill/Traps can work for it. Is there powers in Traps to skip? Is Trip Mines good for AVs? With the setup, I'm just not sure.

Never felt Time was OP. It had good defense, but offense wise, it never felt like it was in the top for that. Take note, we're not seeing Time mentioned in the AV/GM killer thread.

I believe they made changes to Tactical Arrow since I made it, but I don't recall. Fun build for me.

Yeah, but I never got behind the idea of using /TA just for trick arrows and other powers concept wise. Now I'm trying to decide what secondary to go to for it that I like mixing with Illusion.

Well the down side will be, that I personally used Apex and Tin Mage TFs to get those 100 merits for an IO I wanted that is in the 20 million range on the Auction House. Still, get 80, but won't get to convert the 2 EMP Merits it gives to get the additional 20 Merits. 😞 Never relied on the EMP merits from vet levels tho. Or at least, I didn't go about gaining vet levels just for those.

I see no mention for ILL/Poison. Is it no good? If it is good, is Poison Trap needed to do it?

Staff/Bio. Two powersets with stances in each one! Also, unique, so for a forever Scrapper that's not a bad thing. Katana/Radiation. Tough Secondary with a Primary power to give that Melee Defense the set doesn't have. Energy/Shield. Straight up power and defense! Dark/Ninja. Supernatural Ninja! Plus some -Tohit to go with that lower DDR. Martial Arts/Invulnerability. The Kryptonian! Dual Blades/Super Reflexes. DPS and Survival! Claws/Dark. Because this was my first ever combo in CoH back during the infamous first winter event! War/Energy. Well, that's all that's left and I never cared for either of these two sets personally. Stone/Ice. Because Stone can be made to look Ice. Radiation/Fire. Thematic compatible, w/ two Damage Auras Savage/Stone. Clawed stone beast! StJ/Electric. All that's left!.

My newest of my EM/BIO Scrapper! The ectoplasm spewing hero, Plastik! This time taking down three street thugs!

Now I want him as Chief of the PPD!

Convert and they sit there as Reward Merits. Can transfer the Emps to one character if you want before converting them as the Reward Merit Bank. 🙂

Really, this doesn't change Hamidon rewards as all this remains the same. 80 Reward Merits or 4 Emp Merits (which as of now, equals 40 Reward Merits). Hamidon taking the Reward Merits the second time, is 40 Reward Merits. And at least on Everlasting, each raid tends to be 2 runs back to back.

KB has only bothered me when I've been chained for a minute of KB if not longer 😛

As someone who's played Ninjitsu (and I love it, wish it had better DDR), the lack of KB protection in that set is not that bad imo. Why? Because it's a defense set. Don't get hit by that knockback attack, don't get knocked back. Pretty decent KB defense imo. Now, in a set like DA where it's basically a resist set, a bit different.

Nope...forgot to look at Crushing Uppercut recharge...out of range on that 😕 Still can go RC > HB > SB > CU > HB > SB > Repeat

Hasten is still lacking in perma by 3.8 Seconds. However, I can now go... Shin Breaker > Rib Cracker > Heavy Blow > Shin Breaker > Crushing Uppercut

I say go for Staff/Bio. Two powersets with stances in each one! Also, I don't recall seeing it used much, so uniqueness!

Still sad to see no Padded Gloves with sleeves that can match to tights and their sleeves.

Anyone able to get better recharge and defenses going for this build?

The list I recall reading, I believe still had TW in the Superior Ranking of ST DPS.

TW that low, I recall it still being top tier even after the changes.

1) Perception never bothered me, as I notice the missed attacks on the non combo sets, and it feels the same. 2) I'm not saying the non combo option isn't better, just that it requires enough +RCH that it's not a viable combo for every combo of power sets, and 158 DPS is still better than the set with no combo that does 150 and requires more +RCH to get there.
