ninja surprise

Need to re-run this on the first mission of Mender Ramiel's arc where you go to the future in Ouroboros with all the AVs in there and all of your stats are capped. See how the sets perform vs the Titan and all the other AVs.

You're right that Bio adds a lot of lumps onto your character. It's difficult to replicate in the costume creator but I think the Omega pieces can get you close. If you're stealthy you can't see your costume anyway though. Dark can be super tough. @Hyperstrike's Omega Infinitum - Tanker (Dark Armor - Dark Melee) caps resist to everything except Toxic (76%) and Energy (80%). He's got good Bio builds too. Have you used the Test server? You can create the characters, boost 'em to any level up to 50, give them all the IOs for free, and test drive them in some missions to see how you like them. In the end your theme and how much fun you're having matters more than which set you chose. They both work great. Dark will have better Psi resist; Bio might have better healing.

Yep, I have a Titan/Nin Scrapper and it's totally lame to get all set up and then whiff. Happily, after getting momentum the follow up attacks are nice and speedy.

You still get crits from hide though!

That looks like a lot of fun!

Yeah, at the beginning I thought it was origin so I'd always choose the same origin. But then I kept getting the inside cop regardless of origin. I much prefer the outside guy because the police stations are a pain to ruy/fly through.

Yep looks like it can still hit multiple times in Dark Regen if the spawn is big enough. I was keeping the spawns small because my new Ice/Dark Scrapper is still really wimpy, but looks like I need the big spawns to keep the proc triggering. You activated the Dark Regeneration power. HIT Fire Thorn Caster! Your Dark Regeneration power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 28.16. HIT Behemoth Master! Your Dark Regeneration power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 69.30. HIT Veratzu! Your Dark Regeneration power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 0.46. HIT Behemoth Master! Your Dark Regeneration power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 39.12. HIT Fire Thorn Caster! Your Dark Regeneration power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 54.53. HIT Nerva Spectral Daemon! Your Dark Regeneration power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 90.68. Your Theft of Essence: Chance for +Endurance grants you 10 points of endurance. Your Theft of Essence: Chance for +Endurance grants you 10 points of endurance. Your Theft of Essence: Chance for +Endurance grants you 10 points of endurance.

In DNA Siphon on Bio it still pulls multiple hits... Hope this is working as intended HIT Subaltern! Your DNA Siphon power is autohit. HIT Subaltern! Your DNA Siphon power is autohit. HIT Mob Specialist! Your DNA Siphon power is autohit. HIT Mob Specialist! Your DNA Siphon power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 34.69. HIT Crey Juggernaut! Your DNA Siphon power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 25.89. Your Theft of Essence: Chance for +Endurance grants you 10.54 points of endurance. Your Theft of Essence: Chance for +Endurance grants you 10.54 points of endurance. Your Theft of Essence: Chance for +Endurance grants you 10.54 points of endurance. Your Theft of Essence: Chance for +Endurance grants you 10.54 points of endurance.

I popped the proc in Dark Regeneration and it triggers once per activation, giving barely enough endurance to cover the casting of Dark Regen 😞

How do you bind target the boss?

Concept is the most important. Sure there are a ton of powerful Scrapper power combos, but if I don't have my own concept and costume, I get bored super fast playing someone else's Scrapper. With IOs, power pools, and P2W buffs or Accolades, pretty much any combo can "do it all". Psi Melee will do fine. Even the things that resist it, you just pretend like you're a Tank and hit it 2 or three times instead of just once. What kills Psi for me is Mass Levitate throwing everything willy nilly and then I have to chase my targets again. It was a lot of fun until I got burned out though. My own favorite Scrappers are DM/SR (because my costume looks dumb with any of the shields), Dual Blades/SR, Fiery/Shield, and Savage/Bio. Oh, and my new primary is an Axe/Bio that's a total hoot. Axe's new Whirlwind attack sucks in all the baddies so they're easier to hit with the other AoEs and Bio's self-buffs. Good times. OP - just spend a few minutes in the costume creator and your One Scrapper will eventually appear.

That might be true if both Controllers were Earth, but Controllers get double-damage on "contained" mobs. And more Controllers means more stacked holds on Bosses to actually hold them. Plus the stacked buffs and debuffs from multiple secondaries. You don't even need a Tank if you have a plethora of Controllers. Plus, Controllers have the largest AoEs so they immobilize and defeat fat spawns super fast. It's a blast!

That's because Energy Aura has an invisibility cloak. I love my Stone Melee Tanker, but have too many alts. I mostly love my Earth/Time Controller, but it's useless outside teams so I usually pick something I can solo with. Hardly ever see /Ninja Blasters, but it's a good set with some sweet utility powers.

Seems to work for me in current version of Chrome.

AFAIK every police station has two detectives, one outside and one indoors. What decides which detective is assigned to your character? Is it Origin? Random when you get high enough level and enter the zone? It doesn't seem to change ever, so you're stuck with whichever one you get.

I think you want Dark Armor. It gives the fear, stealth to appear out of nowhere, a Stun aura, and then add the APP of choice. You can color Electricity to match. Then go Tank or Brute depending on whether you'd rather choose armors or attacks first.

If you already did it on Live, give the Tank a try. The added AoE is very noticeable and quite nice. And the added taunt is handy for getting critters to clump up on you. But if you want to be a buzzsaw of doom, go Scrapper. Edit: My main on Live was a DM/SR Scrapper and I re-rolled it as a tank and I'm happy with it. I miss one-shotting a Boss with Midnight Grasp, but the extra AoE on Shadow Maul and the built in taunt aura is quite nice.

Plus Breath of Fire is just a cool looking power.

Or just give the cell phone right when you start doing missions for a contact. Cell phones were less common back in 2004 but nowadays everyone except the most trendy Gen Z have them.

Do either of you play it? How do you like it?

Yep, that's what I did on my farmer, and can't see it in big spawns. What's your favorite Fire/Fire toon?

With all the options, every AT except the pathetic Mastermind has a Fire/Fire combo. What are your favorite Fire sets and ATs to use em? Fire Blast Fire Manipulation Fiery Melee Fiery Aura Fiery Assault Fire Control Thermal Radiation My favorite is a toss-up between the Dominator and Blaster. The Blaster gets 5 fantastic attacks with 3 AoE by level 10. The Dominator is mostly control and single-target attacks because it doesn't get Rain of Fire or Fireball until 35 😞The big stun of Flashfire at lvl 12 is great in the Positron TFs though! I love Fire Blast and Fiery Assault. It's fast with sweet sound effects. Can't get into Fiery Aura because the pulsing of Blazing Aura makes my eyes hurt, and that sadly eliminates the melee ATs. I haven't tried Defenders, Corrupters, or Fire/Therm Controllers. What's your favorite?

OP: I don't understand the jargon StrikerFox: Hold my beer... 🤣 @CJStevens17 - can you describe what you mean by sniper? What sort of playstyle, or how you imagine the character concept? If you can relate it to a movie or cartoon character, that'll help a lot for narrowing down suggestions.

Battle Axe. I love the KD crunchiness, and the revamped Battle Axe is a thing of beauty... but I keep making alts, not finding a happy pairing, and leaving it behind. Master Minds. Tried a bunch of combos. I got furthest with a Beasts/Savage, then realized I only liked Savage and rolled it as Scrappers, Brutes and Tanks. Savage/Bio is a hoot! Got a Beasts/Kin to 50 by pure gumption because I had a fun concept, but got burned out when I realized I was basically a Kin defender who's constantly re-summing idiot pets that die before they defeat anything. Luckily there's plenty of other alts!

I'd guess it depends on what you want to do and how much inf you have.
