I know there is a recent post in the brute forum. @Hyperstrike posted a build in there, and he's basically the patron Saint of /inv

It seems I am unable to find the thread I was remembering. I did find the builds Linea posted, but they have Energy Cloak still. This is one that I took from them, and just swapped out Energy Cloak for Weave. I'm going to bow out of the conversation now though, as I don't want to cause any confusion. This Villain build was built using Mids Reborn 3.1.2.5 https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

There are a few /ea builds floating around that skip the invis power and still manage to get softcap. I believe @Linea posted theirs. I'll see if I can find the thread.

Well, from the advice I'm getting, it seems Gloom will be mandatory. Would you recommend a different patron pool?

That's a nice looking Tank, I'll swap it around to Brute and have a look. I honestly haven't decided between /Inv or /Ena yet. I may do both and start one Goldside. You happen to have a spare SS/Ena build lying around as well?

have a Em/Rad Scrapper that I love, was just wanting to revisit SS since I haven't played since beforethe Servers were shut down. Cross Punch was definitely part of the plan. Well, in the idea box. Don't really have a plan, yet.

Until Scrappers and Stalkers get SS, I think the AT with the best chances of pulling off decent ST dps (no, I have not heard about this beyond the thread in the Scrapper forums) would be the Brute. Unfortunately for me, (and my investment portfolio) I am no good with numbers. What attacks from SS are mandatory, and what would help the most? I'd like to avaoid Patron attacks, if possible, but am open to other pool powers, including LBE. Everybody needs a Kryptonian, right? Anyone have anyone attack chains lying around?

Wm/Ea Strong and pretty. https://web.archive.org/web/20120906164104/http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/Sonikusan/screenshot1_01.jpg

WM attack chain on claws/bio? I see what you did there.

I knew there was another one, just couldn't remember which set.

Do you think that the changes they've made, like not allowing Energy Melees T9 not critting for the full amount, could be used on KoB? I know that was one of the concerns that most have mentioned.

Has shield melee been put in the suggestions topic yet? Shield/Shield would be the best flavor of awesome sauce.

I'm not sure if it has changed or not. I hope it has, I hear great things about /Ea

My problem with /Ea is Energy Cloak. I deleted a scrapper after I got it, because I couldn't see the costume I had worked so hard on.

I'd be up for both. Never got a tank past the low 20's. That was before the revamp. And a big thanks to everyone who contributed to the conversation.

I second this motion. Do we have a third?

That seems to be the gist of my /Wp toons, whici is why I came here to the boards for help.

Has there been a new update to Mids? I can't seem to open builds by clicking on the link. @Solarverse, is there anychance you could post the data chunk? Edit: There is in fact an update to Mids that I did not have.

I love how a /Wp thread evolved into a lesson on /Inv

I think I may have to borrow from this. Heavily. Awesome look.

I had a Dm/Wp br00t back on live that I was soloing redside on when it we were shut down,and I currently have a Em/Rad scrapper I am putting the final touches on( that should have probably been a br00t), and a Fm/Inv br00t that I played near nonstop when Homecoming became public knowledge. I love both Em and Inv, haven't tried Dm since shut down. I feel the same as @Without_Pause about Em and it's single target chain. @Bill Z Bubba, have you ever given any though to a Em/Sr toon, or would that wind up killing itself from the self damage. Altitis can be a pain sometimes. Thanks for the responses. P.s. Please ignore the discombobulated way my thoughts are strung together. My brain just ain't right.

Is it too late to bump this? Am I a necro poster now?? Sorry, but this was the number 2 post on google when I searched this combo. @Snarky, I know that you are a lover of /Inv, but did you ever get this built? And @Without_Pause, what about you? I mostly play toons that are homages to my favorite characters, and Wolvie is number 1 for me. I had a claws/regen scrapper back on live, and I haven't fiddled with re-rolling him yet.

I've finished my last project and ready to start another homage toon. I've never really tried either set, but does one shine above the other? Is it just a preference between the animations?

I'd appreciate a lvl'ing build. When you have a chance, of course.

I played with Batpanda on a Citadel the other day, his RP was awesome. "Batpanda hides in plain sight!"
