No, cause you still look like you're leaking Staph with every step you take. As a medical professional, I can't use this powerset, at all.

You may have already seen this in the Scrapper forums, if not, here you go. It's all very informative. You may need to read the whole thread. Again, apologies if yo have read it. Further apologies if you are one of the contributors to the testing, and I just don't remember.

Thanks for this Sovera, while I'm not a new player, I have been gone from HC for close to six months, and been even longer since I rolled a new toon, so I'll be using this in the next week or so.

I'd be interested. I know I used to read one about beings that crashed on earth and were worshipped as gods, but I forgot what it was called.

I have your site pulled up, I'll check it out tomorrow.

Those were good for a quick laugh, thanks.

Been away from HC for a few months, where are the proposed changes posted again? I was thinking of coming back an rolling a DM toon. So I'd like to see these changes. Thanks for the help.

Not only is this an awesome costume, but I love the spin you put on the Batman concept. Amazing.

Thx Striker, this looks, intriguing. I wish they'd just make IH a toggle again. Does making DP a toggle still boost max HP, I wonder? Also, this says it's coxg, that's not the same as Homecoming, is it?

Follow Up boosts is basically Claws version of Build Up. If you hit with it, it makes it easier to hit with subsequent attacks, and of course, boosts your damage. It's fairly easy to stack it as well.

Maybe it's just that the heatwave is getting to me, but damn you are being a whiny, over-entitled, ungrateful little son of a bitch, aren't you? Every penny of which goes towards the game's hardware, hosting, and bandwidth costs ... and not one thin cent goes into any of the dev team's pockets. ... because the alternative is NO CITY OF X AT ALL, you insufferable little ingrate. >:( +1 inf for you, good sir.

I thought you meant like in Bleach. I was in a Bleach themed SG back on the live servers. One of the nice things about the Soul Reapers was they weren't all necessarily all just katana/ninja blade/dual weapons. Yoruichi doesn't even wield a Zanpaktou. Rukia uses more kido more than her sword. Sui-Feng (2nd squad captain) has that thing on her finger. Hell, you could go Fire Melee, it has 2 or 3 sword attacks and you could think of the others as kido.

Wait, Soul Reaper, or Soul Reaver?

I love the cce size swap, that's genius.

Thanks for the reply, I've been holding off until I was more clear on this. I appreciate it.

Why the focus on rotating around Shockwave? Is that for single target? It looks like the other t1/t2's in Claws do more damage. Thanks. This is talked about a couple of times back and forth in the thread already. Shockwave still has really good DPA despite being a cone, but the biggest reason is the fact that it can be slotted with a -20% Res Proc which gives the entire chain around it a significant boost. Otherwise the only option for optimal chain is Follow UP > Focus > Slash, and it takes a ridiculous amount of recharge to get there. Either way, Shockwave with the proc is worth it. It's *only* 313% recharge in Followup for it to work out without a pause. I did try out the shockwave chain instead but the end suckage was just too damn high. Best time so far with BZB claws/sr scrapper: 2:30 for around 380 DPS. I'll take it but I think it was an aberration. Looks like I'm averaging around 3 minutes per pylon. Can someone help me understand these stalker times of under a minute? Is it just assassin's strike doing this? It's the ATO's. One puts them back in hide. So they can crit with a heavy hitting attack from hide, be put back in hide and crit off of another heavy hitter, then hit AS for another fast heavy hitting attack. They can basically crit on demand now. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't happen 100% of the time, but frequently enough. The other recharges build up. If they happen to have the Gaussians chance for build up and that goes off to, well, double build up for them. So whatever attack they use next is gonna do a LOT of damage. Especially if it's a crit. (I just rolled my first stalker tonight to get a tste of it myself, lol.)

So what do I use Bioarmor on? :) The toilet

I had a Claws/Reg as well, unfortunately, I just haven't been able to adjust to it since they changed IH. Maybe I should give it a try again. How many years has it been since I4, lol? I do plan on making a Sav/Wp brute, but it will have to wait until after this project, and my first ever Stalker are complete. Damned Altitis, flaring up again.

Probably because it's such a small percentage. It's 1% Personally I 3 slot Cleaving Blow for the 1.25% E/NE def, and then 3 slot Eradication to get another 3.13% def to E/NE, Gives me almost 5% def to E/NE and decent stats in the power itself.

Justin appears to be down, still. I'll keep my eye on it though.

No problem. Another idea for staff that I have, you can feel free to take if it interests you, Staff/Bio. Toxic Avenger. Just not sure if the have a mop option for the staffs. Well, have fun in the City.

Every time I see the title to this thread, it makes me want to go and listen to Metallica!!!

Thanks for the reply. What are the best powers to slot the ATO in? I believe I read in here that the Stalkers Guile should go in Assassins Strike? Is that right? What about the other set, another longish recharge that the recharge makes better? Say original cool down was 12 seconds, but with global cool down (hasten, sets) it's down to 6 seconds?

I'm interested in this as well, as I'm thinking of rolling my first Stalker. I already have a Elec/Sd Scrapper, but with a supposedly superior st attack chain, I wouldn't mind rolling it over again.

I haven't played staff yet, mostly because I can't make a convincing Donatello costume, but I have made Stj. And boy is it fun! It's kind of a mix between an MMA and dirty street fighting. It looks great, sounds very visceral, and feels like it delivers the pain well. As a matter of fact, I have Pines up right now working on my first stalker. He's probably going to be Street Justice. It pairs well with just about any armor set/ Stj/Sr=Daredevil or Spiderman Stj/Sd=Captain America Stj//Wp=Punisher Stl/Nin=Batman Well, you get the idea.
