Yes sir 🙂 sorry i did not see your post cause i almost fall of my chair laughing from some post above yours. I go back to beta server to see what i can do of this EM scrapper, at least it was relaxing 😄

I'm the Diva of the forum, that's it ! More seriously, i think it's normal : how many were in the RWZ on the beta server the day the patch hit ? @Bill Z Bubba me and you. The fact is, most people dont care about real numbers and CoX has been developed to "lure" players into the feeling to be a super hero 😛 And tbh it s perfectly fine. Since people have fun... If TW is not powerfull enough now, we will find another way to "break the code"

72 sec is around 670 dps. This was the best pylon kill and without Assaut T4. My build is far from being a 100% "pylon" build, completly strip from survival and aoe tools. It s a totally playable DPS build able to go sub minute with a bit of luck (or CD, amplifier, frenzy and so on). TW still have an awesome soft control on top of good damage. But then come the competition : a WM dont have less soft CC and is free in his attack chain. Rad Mélée have monster debuff and aoe on top of a potent spammy heal. Titan Weapon OP damage was kinda his signature : dev have a hard job here : if they lower damage, they will need to give TW a new signature, a new feeling. Tbh, i talk about WM and Rad cause i have 7 scrappers full geared and rdy from Rad / Bio to Wm / Rad and Dark / shield 😄 The truth is i have already replaced TW and i know i m not the only one. Just one of the most "noisy". Maybe cause i have not yet completly lose faith in our community and willing to give a kinda rare point of view. It's a question i cannot answer, normal leveling is not my taste nor speciality. Examplar TF means full amplifier and full buff on a lvl 50 optimal build for me, and i only go to help friends. And i try to never answer things i have not test myself. But yeah, New TW will open the spec to casual players, for sure. The 25% on both recharge and endurance will open more possibilities of AT.

Enemy buff / player debuff is crazy, you desserve your rank 🙂

yeah perfect all rounder, but his lack of soft control can be an issue.

Fiery Mélée is the perfect "image" for EM : Scortch => Energy Punch (Mélée) LVL 1 Fire Sword => Barrage (Mélée) LVL 1 Cremate => Bone Smasher (Mélée) LVL 2 Build up LVL 6 Breath of Fire => Power Crash (PBAOE) LVL 8 Confront LVL 12 Fire Sword Circle => Whirling Tickle (PBAOE) LVL 18 Incinerate => Total Focus (Mélée) LVL 26 Greater Fire Sword => Energy Transfer (Mélée) LVL 32

spend the night on EM Bio stalker : Tbh, i dont feel EM is for scrapper : scrapper's ATO are so tied to critical that i feel EM being the new savage mélée, powerfull but really not optimal for scrappers 😕 i ll spend more time tomorow on scrapper's EM

Glory to the Bearded King !

yeah EP is better for stalker for critical quick AS. we dont want to use slow ET but Crit quick AS has priority, so priority chain is better than strict, fixed rotation. Opening : Bup / AS / TF / EP / Quick ET / EP And there keep using this rotation till AS "proc" and manage the ATO build up proc at the same time. Fun gameplay but it requires a lot of practice, which is nice 🙂 Soul mastery is a mistake : i have to admit i play more my scrappers in pve and my stalkers in pvp. At then end, looking for 100% quick ET is the way to go but the more important for stalkers remains the AS gimmick. I didnt notice real big diference between assaut core and radial tbh. EM bio E27 beta V3.mxd Average 1m35 Best without assaut 1m21 Best with assaut 1m12 The stalker Mini games has good synergy with "new" EM like STJ but is still very random for the AS stacks 😕 I feel that real stalkers (not like me :p) will do good things with EM and when stars have the good alignement and we make good offers to RnJesus, i suspect this AT to be able to go sub minute. Not to mention that Stalkers are team beasts with their Teambuff critical %.

i m respecin' at the moment 🙂

Stalker EM / Bio. T4 muscu / assaut Double hit / degen / ageless core Just switch Stun for PC (with 5 armag) Under Adrenal Booster : Rotation : TF / fast ET / AS / Moonbeam ATO hide on TF and ATO Build up on ET. Can have double fast ET on each TF crit. Solo on pylon : average 1m55 w/out assaut average 1m30 with assaut

I will be Cristal clear : i love my scrapper to be the "big thing" killer, the AV destroyer. I dont give a f..k to normal mission or content. She's a tool for power, so as any tool if she will not be the best tool on live : i ll scavenge her IO+5 on her 3 builds and use them to create another better tool, whatever AT or build it could be. Power is life,....

Pylon runs with my favorite Page 5 build in beta server / patch 1 : Pylons kill from 1m08 to 1m20 TW / bio scrapper / T4 assaut (not click) / T4 muscu, ageless, degen. 1) 1m25 : feeling is diferent 2) 1m19 : i notice some real long momentum 3) 1m12 : i still dont know what is diferent but the rotation feels much more fluid but damage seems less powerfull than before. Conclusion : why should i bother with TW now when WM is much more easier to build / play and Rad provide top debuff AND a heal with same damage. Note 1 : it s a page 5 build so maybe with a new build... Note 2 : endurance consum is very nice : on live my build can detoggle with sprint and superspeed for long fights (more than 1m30), on beta, i can keep both and ageless is enough to keep stam at 100%

yeah i know, but compared to Invul or SR... it s still just night and day

Help me to make this happened, please !

i m fed up to spend hours to create costumes i love and when i toggle armors or stealth...

I dream of (in PVE) : - No FX options on all armors and all AT. (yes i want to have cool costume on my Bio and Rad armor too.) - The option to remove stealth effect on all stealth and Invis powers. (dam i love my stalker skin, spent hours to create several and... i turn hide on <f.ck>) - The option to make any buff with No FX. (i m fed up to spend so much time to try to remove color from my cold buff...) - The option at The Gull not to see buff FX. (please, some buff still have 2005ish textures and i have nothing against people with taste of s..t but when they vomit their buff on my toon... i feel ... dirty) This would help a lot of people to enjoy creating tons of costumes and low graphics computers would suffer less in full league.

The "secret" is to have 4 FF recharge proc really used in your rotation, and you suddenly have a perma hasten in a build with a 150 sec cd on hasten out of combat 😛

Nerf Sentin... <ahem> So the best Pylon time for a Katana / Ninjato user is a sentinel...

The Banished adds -Res too. The Knives of Vengeance radial have a very good 1m15 burst buff and very good ST debuff with weakening shot, stacking effect with a darkest night for intance.

Gloom is the best DPA for tankers (but TW) Even above the all mighty Rend Armor (without considering Momentum), you should consider to use it on CD for ST dps.

Umbral beast + Haunt = best pet(s) damage for Dom 🙂

The Mad King has spoken 🙂

The Arachnos is not just about Psi damage, their real impact is the Defence and recharge debuff stacking. As Ice armor tanker, you should not have issue with the recharge debuff but (correct me if i m wrong cause i never rolled a ice armor on tanker), i see on mid's only 51,9% defence debuff resistance. So even if you are soft cap (45+ def), any enemy have at least 5% chance to hit you : as a ice armor, you have no psi def nor psi resistance, so the psi attack debuff your defenceS and you finish naked with your 90% cold resistance... the issue is that the best set to upgrade both psi def and res is Impervium... which is a resistance set. I think is should be doable but at what cost ? Tanker - Ice Armor - Radiation Melee ice def test.mxd this "build" have the 45% psi def and with Ageless Radial you ll be cap Defence Debuff Resistance for 1 minute and after at 73% : which should be enough to hold some classic arachnos in +4x8. But to be honnest, take this as a test, i would never pay so many IO+5 for such "result". Barrier will make you immortal for more or less 1 minute then it's only 5% def and res ALL. Edit : after thinking a bit, i would go with a good devastating blow to have a 100% Heal Siphon every rotation cause taunt is not so usefull on a ice armor being already the king of agro. Tanker - Ice Armor - Radiation Melee ice def test2.mxd But that's still ugly 😕
