Wait... no Super Strength for Scrappers?

Unleashed Might is looking solid. Now if only I could play with it on a Scrapper. 😏😉😜

It’s possible, but I wonder how SS would take Scrapper’s Critical Hit into account, given how hard hitting the whole set is. Reduced crit multiplier compared to other Melee sets? Reduced base damage on Scrapper specifically? Have the Scrapper get Knockout Blow as their Tier 9 Melee?

They'll let most of it crit but do something silly with KO Blow like they did Energy Transfer or Seismic Smash.

I used to oppose proliferating every powerset to every AT, but that ship has long since sailed and seems determined to stop at every port.

 

Still, a word of warning to those awaiting SS being ported (it really should happen). Below is what happens when Crushing Uppercut is used (admittedly from stealth) and the npc gets a crit. Knockout Blow is going to be just about as friendly to be on the receiving end of when running the Protean arc.

I'm just excited to finally be able to make a SS/SR or SS/EA or SS/Ice Brute and not feel like I'm doing it wrong.

As Brutes have had Super Strength from when they were introduced, I'm guessing your referring to Unleashed Might instead of Rage?

He's talking about how SS on Defense based armors was suicide. Now it'll be less so for those sets. Especially with brutes getting that wholesale mitigation bump.

Ahhh. Oddly enough, my first use of SS, back on Live, was an SS/EA character.

My favorite 50 is a SD/SS Tank, but I'm way in on the KD (She's got Hand Clap, even) as a way to help not die when Rage crashes.  Looking forward to hand Clap being in her build and good.
