hey ! i took so many EC in my face in RV back to live that i knew the size of each boot of hero/heroine :x Now it's NOT yours only anymore ! HAHA ! 😛 @Bill Z Bubba and @Sovera have tons of posts about Claws cooked on lot of AT 🙂 check their history Yeah that 5% miss chance (and his counter part, the 5% chance to hit) are old fashion habit of MMO. a set / power or whatever ways to avoid this would be welcome, overpowered with the fight mechanic of CoX, but welcome. About stalker, in Pve, it's easy they almost never use the slow AS, just to open on an AV or to try the one/two shot on softer targets.

dam i had not read, 530 on a shield in single target only Oo grats lol Could you share the build pls ? 🙂 i could use it on a thematic toon 😛 (sort of Captain France :p)

then tank with a scrapper 😄

non criting scrapper ? no ty

Not to mention, Dragon tail is an awesome soft control, with a good / very good DPS ST attack set, now with kinda good debuff and a bit better multi target clearing...

and idk if you notice but mélée ST IO slot in EC will remain, so if you had "by chance" an hecatomb proc on your EC... 😄

So i tried EM on scrapper and stalker. The set is balanced, the DPS is kinda not bad, the clearing time is good. Nothing to mention. And i think it's the real issue that i feel till yesterday during the 10+ hours i spent with both EM stalker and scrapper : it's boring. Why play 2 classes make for fun critical and big bursts with an attack set ... with no critical. Sure the Stalker has very very good dps but all is flat. Flat and Boring. EM (on scrapper mainly) feels ... average good. Yeah it's the word, average good at best. No way to unleashed insane burst : it's clean, average and well balanced. But EM still has lost the crazyness and fun of his former glory. Tbh and with all due respects, i cannot stop thinking that you were too shy and / or afraid by something, maybe to create a new TW like monster, i dont know. Why spending so much of your precious time to proliferate an attack set with no offensive critical on a class with ATO and innate ability fully based on... critical ? In a world of Rend Armor, Crushing Uppercut with 3 stacks, Greater psi Blade, Clobber (and i forget a lot) criting with almost no limits, why keeping energy tranfer with a healing ability we dont need ? I 100% agree that energy mélée have the job done and it's even impressive the work done on EM. But i cant stop feeling that it lacks this little something that made players make :"WoW what the f...k was that, this was violent !" You did a good job, but being a bit more "crazy" seems necessary to me. Dont get me wrong, i dont cry for more damage or something, but more burst, more fun, more "omg" moments.

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 😛
