Eagles Claw has a built in + crit chance already. Coupled with the long(er) recharge time this seems the perfect place to put the proc for you. In ST im assuming you will use EC>CAK and then in AoE you can do EC>DT (and then DT will crit almost everything almost evertime - its beautiful) Storm kick is one of MA's best powers. Its DPA is pretty damn cometative, Its on a whole other level from Kick. It absolutley is worth slotting and using. The best MA attack ST chain used to be CAK>SK>CS>SK. Now on Homecoming and with the EC buff shortly before shutdown maybe EC comes into the chain EC>CAF>SK>CS maybe? Im not 100% but i am 100% sure that the best ST attack chain will include SK. There is no way in hell using DT in ST is optimal, infact its a DPS loss.

This is where my current build is (basically the same) But with a very minor change to Cobra Strike slotting to acheieve a kind of gimmicky But interesting resist to Recharge and Run speed The build is VERY high recharge, and kind of works against the common "proc everything" vibes of most builds. I can comfortably run CAK>SK>CS>SK in ST (i can actually run CAK>CS>SK - which is truly insane, but only when conserve power is up becuase my word does my end bar drop like a stone doing that) In AoE I run EC>DT>1-2 filer ST attacks then back to basically recycling EC/DT Honestly for raw damage output on this build I think Its close to as good as it gets. Im trying to scrape the last bit of performance from it but it might be a fools errand MA-SR V2.0- Scrapper (Martial Arts - Super Reflexes).mbd

Hmmmmm well this is certainly unconventional. At a glance this build seems kind of ... insane tbh! Not at the range softcap for defence Skipped the AoE defence toggle [Evasion] entierly ... this build will go squish very, VERY quickly You Scrapper Critical Strikes proc is in an AoE attack You havent slotteed Storm Kick one of the power MA/ has to offer Our builds clearly have *very* different philosophies. I have made some very minor changes to your build to leave it basically the same but MUCH more survivable and playable Evasion replaces Elude Evasion loses a slot and gives it to Focused Senses Hover has to stay on when fighting (i personally find this impossible on a melee character and so would drop Hover for Combat Jumping with the same single slot for a much improved experience in maps) Your build is now virtually unchanged and infinatly more surivable Hope you enjoy 🙂 Kung-Fu Thrax FIXED (MA.SR).mbd

Hi all, Recently got back into CoH again after a few years away. No matter how many alts I roll and enjoy, I cant let go of my old main from live (MA/SR scrapper) and always end up playing and tweaking his build. Performance is important to me, I like to be able to dish some serious damage, whilst keeping a theme (speedster) I've previously had Aid Self in the build .. but honestly I rarely if ever used it. So i've gone with assault and tactics now insted to try and eek out some more performance. ST attack chain - CAK > SK > CS > SK (repeat) - extremely high recharge neeed to run this chain. Honestly not even sure this build needs Hasten with the sheer amout of recharge in it, but I didn't know what else to pick and its something I've picked almost as habbit for years AoE attack chain - EC > DT > filler (repeat) - the buffed Eagles Claw into Dragons Tails mechanic is so nice to help MA/ previously almost none existant AoE -Res proc in both ST & AoE attack chain seems nice (Force Feedback proc in DT seems redudant due to naturally high recharge) 40% S/L res at full HP not bad for /SR Due to the high speed attack chain this build actually churns through endurance at a surprising rate that isnt obvious at a glance perhaps in Mids. Thats kind of why I went with Energy Mastery, but upon closer inspection is Physical Perfection even really doing anything for me? The heal proces and +regen are nice for /SR but maybe there are better options? I toyed with Mu mastery, Zapp seems good. Good DPA and maybe worth throwing into a ST chain on cooldown? Ball lightning seems a fair bit weaker with bad DPA - but could help bolster MA/ AoE options? I'm not sure really, ive look at this build for so long I no longer see a path to improvement. Maybe its just time for me to move onto a new toon and become obsessed. But for now can anyone see any mistakes? or just generally offer some advise on what you would do to improve/change this build? Thanks! MA-SR - Scrapper (Martial Arts - Super Reflexes).mbd

Title. (Also posted in Tanker forum) Main thinking is that Dark Melee better on Tanker due to increased AoE and Gloom in ST chain? Sheild better on Scrapper due to Sheild Charge pseudo pet interaction? Im leaning towards Tanker - or is the scrapper damage THAT much better? (plus /Shield has a scrapper taunt aura so why even bother with tank?)

As I understand it the following is true, Tank has seen significant buffs to Dark Melee, greatly increasing AoE caps and range on lots of powers? Sheild is better on Scrappers due to the pseudo pet interaction with the targeted PBAOE? Which AT do you think better maximizes this interesting combo?

Did you ever update the build with the Dark Melee buffs? It kind of seems like Tank might be to optimal combo now for Sheild and Dark Melee

Ice/ is interesting, its AoE is tragic ... apart from the fact the Nuke is INSANE I really wonder where a high recharge Ice/ with nuke on like a 20second CD or something would stack up in AoE terms

Been waiting for this build for 4 months ... supplies are running low I fear I may not live to see it.

This is going to save me SO MUCH TIME Thankyou you sweet kind man

Bit late to the party but how do we feel about this build? I didnt go too much into +def since with 0% DDR it will be stripped in seconds. Instead im at 32%+ for S/L/E/N and range - i think that should be enough. Tired to get as much into the Damage as possible, and proc the attacks. Wish i could find just a touch more recharge in the build, but anyone see any glaringly obvious errors? | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1434;670;1340;HEX;| |78DA65944B4F135114C7EF3C2A94B6F268A1055AA1A5D0972D8CCFAD1125E1D158A| |8BA336484526B9A76026DA2DFC0F888891B13C1677C80FA015CFB2574E9D20D6A62| |306161EA99F99F2B354E32FDF5FECF3DE7FEEF3DBDCDDF38E75D5B9B392314DF74D| |5DCD8583E4B9F8DD27A67BED9301B957A4DD84F07BD218E2C2F99B572693537BB52| |C2E4511928362DABBEDE702279B356B19A5594F014EAF56A6EA65A295F6B789DEF0| |B25D3AAD4CA5DCEA068954AAB3ECCB1A750A0F7BC5559C94DD7ABAB54C92E7E3344| |16E2F4CED97E14C7554B1759550843176A8E3909EA534C03BC25FE3E2D553C178E3| |8F1024C3C03E7EDC28A53BAE5528E23F3D009B0F324F314D8759AF901C9B7099AB4| |A52510F4269929F0709A99011768B64BF08AAE97BCE22B30F11A4CBF616E83D91D3| |06FF7855774756CEB8ED8B3C37C0BF6BD63BE0703B348BE43596E4E56DC0F218EFD| |C2240FB5DBC3B614CFA0E688C6303840411F676ABE7E055EE7119CFCC9FC4DE1882| |EEE12BA65A5EE4D5AC6AF8BF8167881D45EB981DE47C80C6CF2325BCCC760E809F3| |2918231B7EB9017F064D1862DE23F473BB457F14A242194129065BF4088DA441D9B| |4C1A0E2781E0A81E1635829BC0FC6F7409D928665D270000770A487D9C7F483713E| |20372545E4E21116176934220F6044E0F04715A6CAD4C0A8CE74811FD342C464C51| |8572C93C571298EF3C62B2426A5E1241B4EB1E1141B4EB1E13457FAE2152223BD65| |16211E5D62169917C1EC25E665F03E65E5D88696FBAC3AE739F90934F6F16B33F6C| |0EB646F4A7A9EE20E46F5835BDE0AEB07B7D71E53E716FE970ABACC204971A4DDAE| |832A426451FADB3F6212E2F7365113BBE8F4589439479104FD617CC5F847DB64553| |CC036A27C8926F8128901FB12F10EAE508621B763B60FAEB60F0AED833FB5D6C79A| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

So ive been testing the Claws/Stone build on Beta - not extenisvly but from what little ive seen, consider me impressed its Stronk. Very very stronk, and oh boy does this build have some potential. Just look at those numbers in mids Its no secret that Claws/ is a monster on scrappers, and /Stone just seems too good to be true. It has a bit of everything ... *whispers it may actually be slightly too strong* But yeah from what ive seen im impressed. Notes: Build needs more recharge. For me personally i would like the gapless best ST and AoE rotation as an option. So i think dropping assault in favour of hasten + finding a slot could be the solution Mud Pots: always nice to have a damage aura, i noticed it for sure but the radius seems small + i didnt notice the slow at all. I think the 5 slots dedicated to the new Ice Mistral set is a waste - probably better off salvaging some slots here and spreading potentially - maybe just some end red and a purple proc and call it a day (also no taunt component ... i would REALLY like to see either [A] all scrapper taunt aura removed /or/ give the same small taunt to all scrappers /end rant) DDR: Not a negative against /Stone, since every single set in the game that isnt /SR can fall victim to it. But on an ITF solo run i was quickly humbled by how fast Def can be stripped away when it all goes wrong. Its a shame ... but honestly if this set had /SR levels of DDR nobody would ever play anything else every again Geode: WTF is this power, im not sure I see the point of it? Gets snapped almost instantly when i used it when i needed it (see earlier mention of ITF) ... idk, Hibernate is most certainly is not But i think /Stone is great, and Claws/Stone is a great combo, looking forward to seeing what people can come up with build wise - 100% keeping my eyes on this thread 👀

Gorgeous build really really nice, looks unbelievably solid I booted up in mids and made my own minor "tweaks" using yuors as a starting point: Pumped more E/N res at the cost of some F/C (which is already really high) Dropped Evicerate (not sure I can run FU>Focus>Slash as ST rotation without hasten ... gona try in Test Server now Slightly better end managment and +rec (because just looking at it on paper i have a feeling this thing gona be thirsty) I moved the Preventative medice + absorb proc to Health rather than EE since i feel like it can proc liek 3 times PPM a min in theory right? rather the guarnteed once every 45 seconds ... in my mind this is better but the math may say otherwise. Really excited to see how this thing plays becuase on paper ... im loving what im seeing *edit added data chunk i forgot to paste | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1428;665;1330;HEX;| |78DA6593596F125114C7EF3083C85E0A486BA14837B6B255DF7C71A9446B4950D43| |78353B8501461C29068BF863EF80D8CDB9730BEB97E01E3F2E6D6D2A4AD5A8DC1E3| |9C7385EA24931FE7CF3DE77FEEBD670A37171DB55AFE18935C279BAAAE974B958EA| |A69BC632EA8F54685FD792CF0FA845E2EF026E769587C430FFE1517798DB7749E2E| |75DB2D5E3EDEB9DEEE3047B1DD6EA697B9AA355A75A711E41BF5D52E4436232A699| |C57DD62559577F4D586E639A5352AE913EDEA5AB9A0EA5DDE591B03FB19781B1626| |9E3E6321404E615B09A084A2C27C92219A46885EA4324AF423AF42258992CC52D46| |488FB62C438727F829844DA1E03BD0ADB06479992653900BF42F0E7966C70FE1733| |98F1A37E0D9CCCC2C9FC54362AB99E119F23475E105F22475F219B906C9198C948B| |65C51F04F15E95B21569007AA444E84642B39332B6D7C077AB78BD3B27F409BB18F| |C44FC8839F895F905F21C929929C56B32106ED440772D2497421BF41925B24B9CFA| |1FDE479E4A112F102F122B2053D7BE886CD9E7BB891C87DE203E243E4F423643C87| |F7B30B8E5E712FDE25EC7D3A8F9C39433C8B94C0C92F66C9DF8787C92005447E609| |7D66F23E776880B4805168F8BED8DD3D8CDD1D84569ECE23476293AFD1FD0E18470| |98F8A7C32875183D4DBA0567DCE8307414A0C84C03312C6CC3EF7065FC2D32F186F| |89AF81EF91D6CA784EDD411EC653E4B3C4C3D2E204B90332B6C6793F891DD753216| |A30A52EC0E9E776E0994A8C23CD05352944F6EA2676A0399EB11E9087E422F69513| |EDDA391860A59216623E81956061F763FA80C7FFAC6752DFF2F15159101926448EB| |B64115C652587A638F1843B137249AD83AB6EDB8846D6722186FEE59740B0FC2410| |792B98D7C9218DC5CFF3264E4C436D4E1606538280E07BF011C83D0A2| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
