that's more or less what i do with my Dark mélée Scrapper. And the reason is simple : Smite is a Damage per Animation beast. So far, the best rotation i found was easy : smite / something / smite / something / smite / something / smite / something and so on. "Something" being based on DPA from biggest to smallest and situation. Mid's dont calculate well the DPA and damage of Quick form sniper, Zapp and Moonbeam are monsters. so the regular "Something" should be Midnight Grasp / Zapp / shadow maul. of course, what hapened in game has priority lol if you're about to eat dirt, Siphon life or Healing Flames are... better DPA 😛 The other vital reason i found was that when i used a more bursty attack chain (AKA only big hitter) my endurance take a dive, badly. Smite have the 50% critical chance so, i change my rotation if and only if i proc : in single target situation : Midnight Grasp / zapp right after the 50% proc in multi target : Ball lightning / shadow maul. PS : and BL / SM massive area crits with soul drain are worth the show 😛

To understand how those awesome ATO uniques work, you have to understand how crit work for scrapper 🙂 So for a scrapper, on top of having the highest base damage for mélée powers, each power have a chance to crit : it's 5% for almost all powers : and 15% for some powers as Eviscerate, Eagle Claw or Arc of Destruction : The crit chance tend to change based on the rank of the target, i dont have the exact number but it should be the effect of the purple patch (AKA everything you consider purple will have 50% resistance to all your effects). Every Scrappers have the following buff : The Scrapper Strikes unique ATO is not a Proc and gives passive bonus to critical chance, you can see a new buff on your buff bar when you have the ATO equiped : so your attacks will have 3% more crit chance vs minions and players and 6% against all the other targets. The ATO unique Critical Strike is a proc, so is tied to proc rules : Meaning that the choice of his placement is critical, no pun intended 🙂 So, it's a proc giving a 3,25 seconds window of +50% chance to crit, so you better slot it on a power you will use BEFORE using the power you want to crit. As all proc (for the moment till they change/nerf/balance/whatever how the proc chance works) more a power has a long recharge more chance you have to proc the buff. But the rotation is more important, (for Dual Blades, Claws, Titan weapons, STJ and Dark mélée where it's even vital) So, it's the subtil "game" of building a Scrapper, where you place your ATO +50% crit will change all about the performance of your scrapper. Finding the right place between Chance to proc : Most of the "high chance of proc" powers are the big hitter you want to crit, and what rotation you use. So, there is an optimal way of playing each scrapper, based on how you build it and if those choices were good.

omg that's hard, the worse i had like this was an internet down against the cpu / romu / req :x

i feel your pain 🙂

ty, as i told you once in another thread, i dont play my SR toons enough 😕

i notice while watching myself that my res are almost never at 90 at 53% hp (on dam mid's) : dodge, agile and lucky need slots to raise res properly ?

the point is that i need standing power to use soul drain in optimal conditions, and she just cant take more than 2/3 bosses at the same time, so i dont think i can have the DPS to kill the av. And yeah i did this critical mistake 🙂 and no right to error at this parameters 🙂

she dont have her incarnates slot unlocked 😛 PS (you can see incarnates on the buff bar :p)

No incarnates is particulary hard 🙂 more than player debuffed imo. i took the time to upload for the fun my "best" run with my SR dark tanker with no incarnate :

Happy to help 🙂

double post for some reasons ^^

yeah, that's what regen need atm, a rez every 15 seconds 😄

This gave me chills 🙂

Amazing work 🙂 Fear resistance, Recharge resistance, this begin to have interesting things. Imo, regen should have all the debuff resistance on top of the scaling regen : allowing people to build as they want / can and symbolising the "perfect body". tbh, i dont really know, Regen needs ton of love cause for the moment, the best regen is a Bio armor with the Alpha aura in green on the body... 😕

ty ! page 6 for november 3rd ? 🙂

And amazing soft control. With my 38 respec on my tw bio, the build i think the most "op" was the 85 seconds over the 68 seconds : cause the 85 seconds had confront, titan sweep slotted and 45 def S/L with offensive and still in the 600ish dps range. yeah my 85 seconds build has almost no dmg proc and so many slots free : i even "buy" a 3 slot hasten just cause i could and this "team" build is still in the 600 dps range. Scrapper TW bio V5.mxd i have to admit that i begin to "fear" that too : that TW receive a buff / nerf balance and that PPM change broke all the others at lol

my toon is a fresh 50 so easy to check with the lack of badges 🙂

Well, itf +4x8 no incarnate, no accolades, enemy buffed, player debuffed, no temp pw and no inspirations is not hard. It's suicide and masochism.

Totally out of subject, Youtube gave me this and i saw you in this 😄

This is the Way 🙂 Changes can be nice, there will always have an AT stronger and / or specialised for a content or another. As i will ever repeat : Power is life, Moar power is Sex. Ty @nihilii for the sharing What i see here is that Titan Weapon is not so OP compared to Rad mélée and Warmace in the hand of real technical endgame player. I think TW need to become easier to handle and build at the cost of 10/15% dps. But it shows 1 very important thing too : those are near 1 billion infamy builds with a full set T4 incarnates : Bio need a heavy investment but shoud be one of those who take the most advantage of strong IO +5. The young lvl 50 without incarnate and IO sets with the same TW / bio build will hardly finish a +0 mission solo.

Best Community ever, i can kick people when the last boss of a TF is agro, chain kill lvl 49- noobs in RV coming for "easy" badges and trolling people for bad AT with bad builds. I missed this game so much, Thank you Homecoming ! 🙂 PS : I hate you all and i will eat your souls.

hey leave my ambushes alone to heal / buff on them ! 😛 More Seriously, for the Oracle just fly to the altar DIRECTLY after you go "out" from the caves : If you never walk in the "triggering area", you will never see the Cosmic lobsters of death ambush.

My Rad ss tanker is 2 shot by Numina 54 buffed in khan with the build i used for the ITF run. She cannot even pull in a MSR without barrier. Imo, your run was one of the most impressive in this thread (if not the most), cause i m sure you did it with your day to day build. Congrats again !
