Forcing the vomit emote.

Make the color purple since that's the color of BFs, etc.

They can change it to BU like Stalkers get.

So is the Server Status page.

I think it has been the only server down for a couple of hours.

It is if they know what they are doing. 😉

I don't think I have ever pulled a bid without waiting for the server to process the request. I intentionally bid low for the vast majority of the time, and I'm willing to wait to check back later that day if not the next day or so. Lets run with the server idea anyway. Uncommon salvage has spiked in the past 3-4 months. Has the player base increased so much during that time in order to put that much of a strain on the servers? Considering the Scrapper forum at one point was one of the busiest forums on the site and now can go a week without a post, I don't think we are seeking a genuine enough spike in those playing to really be able to say that the servers are causing the spike in pricing. Based on peak numbers for players, CPU usage would be around 14%.

Damage doesn't cancel fear. It merely gives them a single attack to respond and then they go back to their feared state.

One time I went and saw a few recipes for an often not used debuff set and there were zero bids, so I on a whim put in a bid of 1. I instantly got it.

End game, Dark struggles with Energy damage. You have to think of it more like a controller meets melee. Dark/dark is more so. Outside of Dark, Claws would be an easy sub in as it is end friendly and has fast enough recharge to where you don't need to add much. You also get two powers with 100% KD/KB. Outside of Claws, anything which stuns so it can stack with the aura. The heal is essentially best in game, but before IOs the end cost was incredibly unkind. Now, you stick a Chance for +End in it and you are practically good to go.

CoD seems a bit confusing in it as there are two checks for a hold. One is 2% and the other is 3%. So even if combined, that's why you are seeing such a low chance for the default hold to kick in.

More of a hybrid similar to a Fort, but with different sets.

Actually down to 40. I honestly can't recall the first of three I got rid of so there's that. Axed DB/sr since I have three /sr characters already. One being Claws and I just find leveling and the experience smoother overall with Claws. I axed a Claws/nin simply because I already have at least 5 other Claws builds not counting my Fort.

I know Dark has a damage aura, but Rad will pump out more damage. This can be important for when BS is more resisted, see DE. BS/BA are slower attacking sets. The fact that Rad offers +Recharge will help speed up your attacks by a default. You can also one slot Beta Decay with a -Res proc. I'm not saying Dark is bad. I just don't really see synergy between the sets which isn't also covered by using Rad, and Rad does offer benefits to BS. If you ever do want to do BA, I say go BA/ea Scrapper. Crits help with BA being resisted, but it does a truckload of damage anyway. BA begs for +Recharge and the end to pull it off. EA covers those. EA also doesn't need something like Parry so you might as well add in a better DPA attack.

It could be, but after I took a recent break and came back, I wasn't exactly excited to see I would likely be better off doing a respect for build that would still farm slower and not gain as much XP.

Time Crawl: Standard ST debuff I save for harder targets. An Acc and some procs if you got room for any. Temporal Mending: A nice PBAoE Heal. I went Preventive Medicine for the recharge Time's Juncture: A nice size PBAoE toggle. I use it for the debuff and slow. 4-slot Dark Watchers. Temporal Selection: Stick a Heal proc in it. Distortion Field: The chance to hold is low, as it is mainly used as a slow. I skipped it on my Fire/time due to already having two Slows. I can see muling it for the +Recharge. Time Stop: Another way to get a hold. Offers some -regen. I use it and Time Crawl and on EBs/AVs and try to convince myself Time has decent -regen. Farsight: 'Nuff said. Slot it for Defense. Slowed Response: The token -Def -Res power. If you have room for it, it takes procs. Chrono Shift: You need 200% or so global recharge to get it perma. I've seen a number of different ways slot this. I did 5-dlot Panacea.

Everlasting's population is rather solid. The biggest negative change has been in regards to farming. The new powersets have been solid but not really top tier. The fixes have been nice adds though.

A bit of both. I weed ones out and the last couple I did I only played them until I wanted to move on to a degree. One hit 41. Another hit 35 last night, and I'm still playing them. My newest one is 9, but that's partly on hold due to getting a build about 95% done in Mids. Once I'm happy with the build they will get a bigger push. It's mostly being intentional about which ones I make.

I'm currently hovering around 40 on my main account. A thing I am doing is making sure everybody is at a certain level. Lets say 10. I get everybody to 10, or delete the character. I then go to level 20, 30, etc. I'm close to hitting the level 20 mark with only getting rid of one character so far.

I went heavy on slotting both for my Claws/sr. That's just how things worked out, but I also built mine differently than anything in this thread partly because I went Sorcery pool to get Rune of Protection. Rotate that with Hybrid Melee and you get a rather sturdy Scrapper. RoP puts S/L resists at 68.8%. I'm about 95% of the way to converting it over to Dark/sr, but the quirks of each set offers some issues.

It should be in the toggles and passives.

I just came here since this was marked as having unread responses. Congrats on the most ignorant comment I will read in a really long time. Saying Kin is useless in a TF is outright comedic.

(has a full attack chain of AoEs on my Time/rad) I aim for as much Def, Recharge, and the End to run it all. I like sleeps, but trying to incorporate that on a Defender isn't easy or even practical. Same for Immobilization powers. That's what Controllers and Doms are for. Buff/Debuff and nuke everything in your pathway.

I popped 5 bids for common salvage at 100 just before supper. I logged in just now and picked them all up. I added two more and got one instantly.
