Think Fire/SD and second was DB/EA though I been thinking of trying the db.inv

Dark armor is a power house against psychic

See a lot of times those statements are lies because they laid of all the staff that was running coh so they did not reassign those resources to other projects or anything a long that lines they just wanted bigger profit margin % to make their books look better it was a short paper shuffling on the books. Companies do weird things all the time and it shells games half the time,.

Yes and no if you plan to do a lot of IO's you can soft cap smash/lethal and be just fine and have the resist and Invulnerability is layered and is just as much a power house as all the others you listed it s as much defense based as it is resistance base. Then if you do something like Katana and use DA I seen katana/da armor do everything at the high end as anything else you listed it is all about putting the right build together with the right IO's and capping smash/lethal defense first it is the most common damage type in the game and the majority of the high end game. Yes you can solo AV's without incarnates with the sets I justed listed and more including regen etc etc it is about building the IO setup correctly

Thanks it been so long I knew it was something like that I never played it before it was changed. I started with Dark armor and quickly shelved it when I learned it could not stack armors like all the other sets and moved to /sr

Invulnerability always had it but then again most people do not know that Invincibility (pretty sure it was that one) but it rooted you in place and you could not move then came along will power and it got a taunt then shield was the third best things to happen to scrappers giving us something besides Invulnerability. Then a lot of people never played with perma elude (the original before softcap) Regen being so strong they where either 100% health or dead or perma unstoppable and no cap limits on mob aggro

Once in the wild it is never totally going away. What it means I have no clue; I am just posting the information that came out. and I will continue to chug along playing my toons

I played both /EA and /Elec on scrappers back in the day different primaries but I thought /EA was the better game play than /electric secondary so anything /EA is what I would recommended

https://mmoculture.com/2020/01/city-of-heroes-ncsoft-files-trademark-application-for-superhero-mmorpg-it-abandoned/ I saw this info drop out there in the news so i figured I post it interesting none the less

That is why I think the best of both worlds is a way to have it on or off one can still dream

I remember when they ported /sr to brutes and gave you guys a taunt aura I started begging the devs to add the taunt to scrapper /sr and I also thought /da and /fire should get at least some KB protection

Yes I wish we had a way to make it optional in every secondary after playing shield; I can no longer play a secondary that does not have a taunt aura. I wish they could put it as an option for every scrapper but the only way I can think of that is being possible is turning every single target taunt in the primaries into an aura or just give every secondary a power that is a toggle when turn on a taunt or give us an option some how to turn taunt on or off in the build. Maybe somebody else has a better suggestion on how to make it possible but I would love love for that to be the case

Since the game came back I got a dm/shield to 50 (io ti the gills etc etc) and his alpha slot and I played a lot of DM in the previous COH life. I even respeced recently out of spring attack into cross punch which I actually like better than Shadow Maul and Spring Attack but something was still lacking. I love Shield a lot probably my favorite secondary since it was introduced into the COH world it is the reason I can no longer play scrappers secondaries without a taunt aura. I have always enjoyed DM play had two toons in the previous coh life at 50 and it is not like I did not know what I was getting with the set; yet something was still lacking and then I figured out what it was yesterday. II have been testing scrappers power sets the last month trying to find something that I wanted to get to 50 and this weekend I was able to get a fire/rad to 22 and when I hit 18 I knew what I had been missing in my scrapper play Fire Sword Circle. The sheer joy of burning a group of mobs to ash and there was the reason after shield came out that my main toon from that day until shut down was my Fire/SD scrapper. I thought it was because of shield but I guess what I did not realize it was really because of Fire Melee. Long Live Fire Sword Circle

Question I started a fire/rad gotten him to 21 in mids says 3 second activation for Ground Zero which would be spine burst times which is fine it just lets me know how I need to play the power on a team vs solo Just wanted to verify that 3 seconds is correct

Entropic Aura weaker than shield

Looking for the optimal attack chains for Rad Melee I think I want to give it a shot try something new

To be fair the pylon test started of pre incarnate days as a way to check our ST damage for soling AV's it just morphed into something else; it was great for testing while what we originally where testing against ; but I love the idea of testing things with normal slotting.

Shadow Maul crits I can tell you from the old days I got good at lining up enemies for multiple hits when solo. Yes i skip it now days

I am now a body only guy none of the others make sense I mean conserve power and Physical Perfection default slots. The issue with fireball and ball lighting is how long I have to wait for the aoe and for my dm/sd it was easier to take spring attack and get it at level 16 vs level 41 and i have it when i sidekick down. Most builds I have I could use more slots on my core powers so body it will be I guess.

Can you post your current build; from mids that would help

You need to define old school i mean back in the day dark armor cof had mag3 fear but hey also had not stacking armor; regen was so powerful they would tank hami bahaha that is a trick question for us old timers

Thanks a lot that is the info I was looking for

Ok back when shields first came out I created a fire/sd and I so fell in love with shields damage boost and taunt aura. Does anyone know the strength ratings of the taunt auras I know shields and Invulnerability are strong and most say willpower is really weak Where does energy aura stand and Bio armor never came out and I have not played it yet so not sure where it rad or ice stand If anyone has the information I would love for you to post any information you have

I loved the 1k and sweep combo when soloing and taking out minions it is fun. I could never run attack vitals combo I hate the vengeful slice animation with a vengeance so I ran sub optimal back in the day and will do so again since I plan on my next toon to revive db/ea but I do love the DB overall feel and play alot.

I was one of the 8 not in that picture; I was Melted Copper Fire/SD and I remember us doing that and Werner was running his katana/regen scrapper. We killed every single mob
