Whats your secondary power? If you want good defense, you need to take Super Reflexes. Pop a defense inspiration and Super Reflex scrappers gain large defense. However they get this from toggle powers, meaning endurance use is constant, and you can quite easily run out of end in a protracted fight.

Tbh, theres a number of complaints on the CoH forums about scrappers in teams and super groups. At higher levels, blasters are doing phenominal amounts of damage, and receiving little in return when compared to melee if they take hover, meaning your slightly redundant in terms of damage. Also tanks can really soak up the damage, meaning your also kinda useless in that department. Many people have said their scrapper feels like useless baggage when in groups. However, having just seen my brother solo missions at lvl 20, I'm not sure if scrappers were ever really meant to group up.

The Tanker is probably the most useless. All they do is take hits and they can't really dish out the damage. But that's all they do. All the groups you join make you aggro, and you die within seconds. Bad stuff.

As for fighting, I'd suggest... hmm I don't really know. Try to have others aggro first, if possible, but as for powers, if you want to be able to take more damage... well if you have Regen or Invulnerability, Dull Pain is good.

Simple tips, as my first character was a scrapper too.<ul><li>Always party with a medic. It's incredibly worth it, especially to a Scrapper.</li><li>Unless you have said medic, don't charge in headlong. You WILL die once you get to around L10 missions.</li><li>With a blaster in the group, you're more of a mini-tanker than anything. Your job is to try to not die, and attract fire away from the blaster.</li><li>Do not be afraid to run away like a little girl. You aren't a tanker, you'll need to now and again.</li><li>Carry Accuracy inspirations. You may dish out the damage, but if you can't hit for crap, that's worthless.</li></ul>

I've seen a tanker in one group dealing out a ton of damage. Of course he couldn't take the hits, but he could keep up with us blasters in terms of damage. I've also seen others tankers who've gone down the invulnerability route and have their health bar barely move. Without really knowning the powers I can't say how they did it.

Controllers pretty much have to group to get anything done... Defenders mostly group (as they're the healers usually). Blasters dish out damage, and follow the 'kill them before they can injure me' mentality, which is a lot of fun.

Personally, I'd say to go with a Blaster if you don't want to have to be grouped up all the time.

Surge · May 2004

Luck inspirations are some of the best things to get, too. The +25% defense boost is pretty nice, especially since they stack. I've known some characters that, when they use 3 lucks, are unhittable.

Aldaris · May 2004

Unfortunatly Moquiao, I can only play on Tuesdays and Fridays up at my brother's house, so I can't help you.

I'm waiting from the obligatory post from Gem tbh.

Narfwak · May 2004

Blasters are tons of fun to play, and I recommend them over all the other classes. A team of blasters and defenders in a 3:2 or 2:1 ratio can deal with just about anything.

Thansal · May 2004

gem is hit up with work as of late (If I remember correctly <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />)

Here are some things to think about:

CoH (as far as I can tell) is realy well balanced atm, my judge?
On the forums every one complains about every class <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

I personaly suggest getting ussed to controlls and game play by creating a bunch of chars and leveling up to around 4-6 (it dosn't take that long)

This way you learn what you like/dislike.

I have deided I can't stand Blaster ( i just run outa end way to fast and can't stand it.....)

Also read up on enhancers, it is REALY worth it to stack them up in most casses (aside from acc aparently, unless you have an AOE that REALY needs to hit, or are going up against reds/pinks alot)

Don't listen to anyone who badmouths any class (as long as you are having fun then stick with it)

And if you want some one to hit up for a SK at anypoint drop me a line at:
Death Monky, Anulkai, Circle Man, or Ground

NOTE: Do Not Expect All Defenders To Heal Your Sorry Arse!
Most defenders are NOT empaths, and the likelyhood of an non empath being able to just keep your HP rocksteady is unlikely (though a good empath will be able to <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />)

/me assists in grumbling and kicks geforce 1 -_-

True, it's all about what you have fun playing. I mean, the assault weapon Blaster may have the fastest recharge rate, but the gun isn't particularly strong, but then again, it's pretty fun to play, so it's about what you like.
