Work aroundable, even for a newbie and it's just so TOUGH!

Dark Armor/*Pick what's fun for you*

Is it the duration of of GIS that causes it to be bad? As it's DPS looks to be ahead of Frost and just a little behind Ice Sword.

Yeah. On my Brute, I wasn't as worried about single target and I picked Frozen Fists over Ice Sword purely for aesthetic reasons. I like the 1-2 punch.

This isn't a Scrapper. This is my Ice/Fire Brute. However, it may help you in what you're looking for. Also, mind you, I did pick concept power picks here, so I won't say it's optimal, but I do Fire Farm just fine with her.

That's more to do with me never posting the starting Combat Readiness/Build Up and what have you. Hitting CR whenever it recharges. Though for me, I hit Build Up and then started with the normal ST DPS, as I was trying to land the -Resist of Rib Cracker and SS's -Resist Proc. As for higher resists versus higher defense. When I did that build, I was going for softcap defense and trying to get some high S/L Resist, while focusing on some decent ST DPS (which for me is soloing AVs without use of incarnates and inspirations). I don't recall her ST DPS, but I know I posted it in the Pylon thread.

Yeah, Moonbeam, not Gloom, my bad. 😛

Rib Cracker > HB > SB > Crushing Uppercut > HB > SB > Gloom > Repeat I believe was the ST DPS I went with. I may do things differently with it if I ever go back to it as things have been added to the game since. I didn't find I needed any of the Body Epic for more Stamina, as Nin's End Heal is quite nice.

I love Spinning Strike! The kick! The backhand punch! I will admit, I wish the AOE on it was a little more, so it tagged a few more, but the animation is so nice!

Okay. Already made a couple of changes. Removed a Proc from an AOE to put a 3rd RCH IO into Hasten, to shave off 2+ seconds to make it perma. Then replaced a regular DMG Proc in Lunge for the ATO RCH/TOXIC Proc. It lowers the DPS of the attack, but shaving off the .36 seconds seems to increase DPS by 10. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1415;694;1388;HEX;| |78DA6594D94F135114C6EFB4534A1740B6B294ADECA55018D7B812848208440C0D1| |8131D27308186D2A96D09F2E87F8044049F05041E7C51A3FF91BEB0A8892FC6D4C3| |FD8EA5D14927BF3BE7CC77CEBDDFDCDB896743DE7723CFFB8552311837D2697D206| |5CC2E24ACB43E139BB356DC51F3F4296ECDAFDA055D4EBA0332A34753462C114BCC| |8787AD54663961648C5CC81F358DA5152BB5989FE390F04C5A563C3C1C8FCD2F64D| |C723C9534CD39AF1C8E9B46920A94FC7D983353E98558D21749C666C3D39181A83E| |652DC7F509239D3153ABD5349B56BAD7BC82AF2CFDE812836E7A50385249034D154| |3145338A6D41234978850CC8E98CDEEC67BEE6226EB3CB468075777F8ED32F6863A| |3A65B1ACC3D96193B50A3B416F90D90516876C5253BC282487A9A70B3D1557150DE| |A55D1721E75B7A9AE0739D5B381D8B95760D92658B1C57C0D6E90A6081A47D17BF4| |F07D607E04AB3F313F83DA17685F92B6046B7394ECA9E8B70F961D80B5A3987F6D0| |49ABA25F8B243DA52EE5BBA8677EB5E800DEB4C9DD21DAA68E2B5373D45FC167950| |CEBE97B3EF01F63DC0BE8FBA4F3FDD98F4BD9263FD14ABE29E5547984FCB31F3046| |CFD06767D67FE009BE93BD670CF9A10BE7F035363FAE81D3FEF11FF187477A8673D| |F7ACDF86174D3B6060176C7F0B06F7406D1FDC228F1AF97B365EC57E68BF06765C6| |7DE60DE84E617B56DE67ECD41BBCCB586983D5C43E37EDD9863F0AB4DEEA3529A7F| |1BAFB18D7DED655F7BD9C3DF24E9E439755E40BDAE8B60F725E665E615F4B94D1E8| |458137A845CCF63A6CE7C02F61AD0ACD3DAC37C6EC2BBC88D509D3EF6B72F00CFEB| |D47F4FEFB89A3BBD8A70A25A810BBC7796CB4EAA3C3C3DD15279987FEE65E4F82C6| |2177715B91BD569385110807B8587E0D17FEA937CF53A6660DB649E602FAB3F41E1| |CBFD4F64EF934EE359CEE48D1FE48D1FE68DFF009F30D8B1| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

No Fighting Pool. Think I can make do without it. *hoping* If someone can see where I may be able to get a bit more recharge would be nice.

I understand all that. I'm not a blaster fan either. The Archery/Tac Blaster, just happened to be a blaster combo that I turned out to love. However, focusing on others, I need to respec her since the Concealment and Teleport changes. 🙂

I suggest trying Archery/Tac Blaster. Enjoy mine. Dual Pistols is my favorite blast set, but haven't gotten to enjoying it on a Blaster for some reason.

My guess is they count awakens and hospital runs as soloing 4/8 content just fine 😛

When have people made it clear they're not welcome? I haven't seen anyone go "No Sentinels!" on teams. Yes, they need improvement, but other than people not wanting to play them, feeling they're weak, I haven't seen any kick them from teams.

Needs some self buffs in there, so you shoot yourself. Or PBAOE buffs. Shoot yourself and it explodes on to the rest of the team. Also a summons in there. So I shoot a bullet and a stone dragon appears breathing fire at enemies.

I mained DB/WP Scrapper when CoH shut down. I soloed ITF with just Blinding Feint -> Attack Vitals Combo -> Repeat and Typhoon's Edge for added PBAOE and no Incarnate abilities or Inspirations used. And I don't recall Empower ever being considered better DPS than Attack Vitals. So, I would think if you can't do Blinding Feint -> AS -> SS -> AS -> Repeat, do the Blinding Feint -> Attack Vitals Combo for ST DPS. I could personally get away with just Attack Vitals for solo play as well, but I liked hitting Typhoon's Edge for the animation

Agreed. Lack of the knee strike is why I don't care to do Street Justice on a Stalker.

Was missing those nice animations of Street Justice over my nice Energy Melee Pom Poms, so, was looking at StJ/EA build. Came out with this on the quick as I started to level... | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1402;685;1370;HEX;| |78DA65945B4F135110C7CFB65B7A8342ADB4202014B9B5B5DBD6CBB3510123D084A| |489AF65698FD0B8699B6D89F2E84710357E065FFC0EBEAA88178C7E03B91548487C| |5D67F73FB44437DDFD9D9D3333E73F73CE36FF6CB6FBDD83E7778412BA6FE88D46B| |15032F57A5D9ABEFC46536F566A55615F5EBA63E753C5BC34A4D4EE99FA53A3525D| |1B6EDB67E563596D486DAE2ACDB5CDE2DD0D53173DCBB59AA1CD57D6D69BE41BC49| |B61BFF63AE325A997A5D958AFD403CE7BA12E657970AE5E296985A66E3CA1B485DA| |8651CCEB8DA634370748C804DDDB517A28B634CB2356083955F874E62A182831CB6| |0779138AD0AB513EB16C76ECC9D80A13370AC5F71E8215F05BE8A12A3C1882AD209| |C5C9D345736ECEE39EB7E3FC22B400F62D224F9AF3EC90AF07BEC2F3D6E5D8BE90C| |DCB35785754C7D6A78397569925F0729929412FC5FA1D6196F03790CF45BB141458| |2368D125DC64E961853D59A88EDE84A2E82D70E036E8A38CBD5C69EF0DA8CF6450C| |D379A0BB3D2F007CC0D7C04AF7C626E83C39F993BA09F62238875450258EB6A88C9| |DD5149673FFBF4FFE373BE1341F2897175B121E4FE4EB90761F30CBE4067E25BCC9| |7E0B557CCD7CCF7D4AD089D0A8A1DE29A86F6906F629F79C03C04A78E982D304C5A| |4658EF08EB1D63BD71D6BB4BF94739FFE8B4CBE9E3D40C389D60269929EC60E2211| |8A4D871C4AAE307D09D38641E81C916F304B44B98E4F526D3C89BD4C0EB19669699| |C33AB93D9773A22354CF0CFAA8CCC485E393668ED35C8ACF452A055B8669B74B439| |C5BDB45AECC0F30F793F90BFC4A3565F90BC8F2891D56055F16FDEC133BAAB6BF4D| |6BA93356840F115D7E7059E5298A549CC856A0EDCDB94E3A169758C0E9571F6177B| |AE2D8C9E3FFA24E0317FE1DB6F8CB7AC33C45AFD53FE0EF685BBFB57761BC7F612C| |A2ED736B2D26A9073CFE0B9E06D682| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| Anyone have thoughts, suggestions, better build?

Quick Strike 1.056s Body Blow 1.32s Smashing Blow 1.452s These attacks are not slow compared to other attacks. Burst 2.904s A little slower than Whirling Hands/Spin's 2.64s (.264s slower) Focused Burst 2.244s Now this is the attack I feel should be faster. Concentrated Strike 3.036s This needs to allow for Critical Damage. Could use a damage boost and maybe a reduction in animation time, but not at the cost of more damage.

Well, I was trying to be nice and assume they just hadn't thought of using the LFG msg as a way to mark themselves. 😛

EH, WP doesn't have to be a really tough human. 😛 Can still be superhuman. To OP, I'd go...INVUNERABILITY! Officer Dave Speed made good use of Invulnerability as a cop, so can you!

I can give you an easy way to do this. In the LFG Tag, put "WST Completed on 8/12"

Yes. We just call it Street Justice instead. 😛
