Looks like all the powers are talked about how much they suck except AS and teleport. Will taking Mu attacks give me the procs i need to trigger AS? Or do I just spam t1/t2 to get my AS to proc? also what's youre go to follow up for the after AS crit? My stalker is still pretty low but these attacks are seeming pretty weak. I went elec/elec for concept reasons, and Mu would fit right into it, if thats a viable option.

If massive single target damage at 50 is your jam, energy melee scrapper is where you want to go atm. For highest dmg take bio or shield but you can make it work with any secondary. Also Claws always has been and always will be amazing on scrappers.

yeah i just get bored at 50, farming incarnates isn't fun to me. so i do some fun 50 stuff then i make a new character. its about time for a new claws scrapper i think.

probabaly, according to the character screen its been over 300 days since i played my claws scrapper

Claws is overall the best set IMO. It does very well in single target, aoe, and soft controls as an attack, especially if you slot KB to KD into focus. For me, I choose t8 or t9 depending on the character/armor set and how I expet to play it. If I want more dmg t8 if I want more control t9. All that said katana is good too, and gives you a defense bonus in the attack chain, and /rad is probably comfortably top 3 for scrapper secondaries so you'll be fine with either choice. Best way to decide really is in the costume editor.

Because scrappers don't get stone melee. I do have tankers, but scrapper is my favorite AT. I was trying to build a new scrapper I hadn't done before that looked fun and interesting and was coming up short, hopped over to brute and saw Stone melee and thought "hey, I need to try that!"

I still play EQ on one of the private servers, its up to Planes of Power expac. p99 is a little too classic for me. But man between EQ and CoH, its like being back in HS again 😄

EverQuest.. missed the boat, wait 22 minutes for it to come back, and then you have a 22min travel to the other side of the ocean.

Back on live 50 was a foreign land, I was a hardcore alt-aholic and there was always low level stuff being run so I was always busy. I'd see someone in group playing something that looked fun and I'd want to try it. My highest ever I think was my "main" claws/wp scrapper who got into the mid 40's. It started that way on HC as well, but now I've got a handful of 50's and TBH now with full IO builds being so accessible (I could never really afford the good stuff on live) my fun comes from getting a character to 50ish and working out builds for them that I think are fun and powerful. Not everything for me has to be 45% defense s/l or whatever that seems to be the standard though I have character I only like to play in group settings, like more support oriented characters and I like coming up with builds to try and enhance their role as much as I can. A lot of time I'm chasing Recharge reduction more than I'm chasing defenses. As for incarnates, those are boring to me. I understand they are strong and powerful but the system to make/create them is the opposite of fun to me. Just grind, grind, grind, then build one, then grind some more. Yeah I know you can trade in merits, and run BAFs to get them faster, but still it's just like grinding dailies in WoW to me or AAs in EQ.. it's not a fun system.

Lately I've been skipping Build Up on my high end scrapper builds, its a nuisance that gets in the way of a fluid attack chain. Yeah ok popping build up right before I jump in to attack is fine, but I find myself just never using it cause I just jump from pack to pack and want to keep the dmg rolling nonstop. Stopping to cast a little buff that lasts a couple seconds is no fun. So I've been specing out of it on some builds and just plain not taking it on others. I know it's optimal, but I hate taking snipes on my scrappers.

I went Kin/Beam Rifle for a concept build and I'm having fun with it. I get to pew pew enemies and make my team better. I don't really care about defender solo-ability, if I'm in the mood to solo I have a lot of characters that do it way better than any defender ever will. And if I want to just grind some incarnate exp/threads/inf I can just afk the defender in the zone with my AE fire farmer and grind it out NP, and even run him along every once in awhile to buff him with kin.

Honestly don't even need that, just run bio and dmg stance. No need to worry about frontloading a combo when you're just nonstop delivering mayhem. I don't think I've ever had a character with as much raw, and consistent single target output as energy/bio. I'm 50 now and started running MSRs and BAFs and stuff while unlocking incarnates and stuff just melts to him. Makes my broadsword stalker look like a chump, who has massive crits on demand.

Not on tanker but I've run regen, willpower, shield, elec, rad, and bio w/ broadsword. BS is slow and end heavy, so i enjoyed it most on elec and willpower to counter that. Not sure how that would work for a tanker. Shield / BS (scrapper) is fine, but it was just kind of plain and i stripped that character now it just sits empty at 50.

Claws is amazing and goes well with any armor set except shield obviously. Fast paced high damage, with some medium range attack, knockback(down), and decent ae. That said the new scrapper energy melee is nuts. And I'm having a ton of fun with it.

Hey all rolled a bs / shield scrapper and having a lot of fun w/ it so far up to lvl 35. But I have a couple questions. I'm thinking about respeccing soon because I've taken all the attack powers and don't really use all of them. 1. What's the ideal attack chain look like for a BS scrapper? I feel like I need to cull some abilities and focus on getting a decent chain going. 2. Where do you like to slot both scrapper ATO uniques in BS? 3. Do you typically open with shield charge? i just got it, and barely used it so far but seems like i get into trouble in some groups when I open with it. Trouble meaning I have to soak the alpha which doesn't always work out for me. 4. Any must haves to get from alternate pools? So far i just have Combat jumping, super jump, and hasten. But if i cut down on some attacks I'll be able to open up a few more power pool choices pretty easy. Thanks! Rerolled mace / shield something just wasn't clicking with BS at the high end game and so I tried mace / shield and i'm up to 30ish about, and it feels like the attack chain is already smoother than what I was trying to cobble together with BS.

I dont think mine are too crazy but: A bright option for all dark powers. I dont care if they have to just steal from rad or something dark is terrible looking almost always unless you want some edge lord character. Some sort of organic option for claws. Large claws like in spines, or somerhing. Claws has pretty old and out dated models for everything but those high tech laser claws. With water set spread across so many aTs, more aqua themed costume options. Right now we have gross fish face and ugly. Gloves/boots. 1 path aura, and an armor set that sort of looks like a wetsuit, and a couple things you could consider a rebreater or scuba mouthpiece, but nothing else to match up to them.

An arachnid soldier could double up on leadership toggles wouldn't be adding too much beyond that other than one generic cone AoE probabaly. Maybe a gravity controller. Its pet will lock down enemies for you and pick a secondary with a buff on a short cooldown. Problem is I'm having trouble thinking of many toggle buffs other than small def+stealth, and of course leadership. I dont lnow that any MM pets will survive a firefarm, but could be interesting to try. Also if you dropped cash on an I'll controller you could perma phantom army on auto cast. Then pick w/e you want for secondary and hot swap over for buffs when wanted.

Fire/kin corrupter is supposed to be crazy strong. And for anyone else out there elec/stone is an incredibly easy entry lvl permadom to shoot for. Elec helps with endurance issues, and stone attacks can mostly all slot the +recharge proc.

If you say you like damage, and you dont have a permadom, then you dont like damage.

If you guys have a lead player, like a brute or tank, I would say Sentinel is the best for someone unsure of their ability to play the game well. They can stay at ranged and blast away. They have an armor set so they won't die easily/alot like a blaster might early on. And if their ever not sure what to do, just target the tank/brute/lead and keep spamming their attack buttons. Just don't pick energy blast, and they can't go wrong basically.

Does nobody in CoH use alt modifiers? You dont even have to set thethem up in options alt + # is row 2 of your hot bars.

I recently made a clown that uses the carnie mallet. But I'm thinking about trying to make a zombieland carnie alt costume with disfigured face and zombie arms.

My spines fire brute is heavily nerfed by the taunt bug. Nothing stays on him anymore. It feels like I'm back to playing a shadow priest in wow, and just spamming fear on everything. Leveling a fire/claws tanker to replace him now. Also dang it Bobby, now I have an itch to try and recreate my shadow priest from wow in CoH. Hmm maybe a dark/dark corrupted.

If you havent made it in suggest fire claws tanker, so you can actually take advantage of burn fields. If you do stay with scrapper that makes eviscerate pretty mandatory, it's crazy good damage, and the people who cry about the animation should probabaly just go back to their boring and ugly SS brutes or whatever.

Grav is better but you already ran grav and it's not really different. Illusion is strong but incredibly boring to level up. It's like the lamest set in the game for a long time, and then it explodes in power, especially if you have a strong secondary, and get your recharge boosted way up. I suggest going more classic controller, fire, earth, plant, ice all straightforward control sets. Mix with rad, kin, time and you'll be a powerhouse.
