It seems to me that it is near impossible to solo after level 10 You go into a mission and the first 4 mobs you see are 2-3 levels higher then you. It seems that the game is pushed more towards group play then anything else. I mean sure it's a MMO but arn't Super Heroes the Masked Avengers who work alone and only get together to fight the really hard stuff. I don't want help doing a simple drug bust or kicking a few troll butts. I haven't been playing long but thats how i see it.

If I get this right ... you are a scrapper and you say you can not solo? Must be something wrong there. I have a toon that has soloed to 46. As a scrapper you can solo a lot easier than any other toon out there. You may have some issues in the Hazard zones but over all you should be good to go. Pick you fights and make you you did not set your missions too high.

If you find the mobs a bit too tough then drop the setting by one. I normaly run on rugged... good balance there. If you do get to the point where a AV mau be involved you may want a few people to assist you as they can be a tough go.

Have fun out there and show them what scrappers can do

Maybe I just need more skills. Oh well I will try what you have said because I am running on rugged as well. I guess I just need to learn more about the game and figure out what I can kill. Either that or my spec is wrong and I'll have to respec at 24 anyways so I'll change it. I think I'm thinking about damage to much and not outlasting the opponents in Endurence because I'm SR so if I run out of endurance I get hit for massive damage.

SR can be a real pain with Endurance running out. For me, regen works wonders and keeps me going.

Try the spines/regen ... I found it easy .. does nice damage, heck you even get a ranged attack to boot. Be sure to take and 3 slot Quick recovery as soon as you can and you should be good for the rest of the run.

Worse comes to worse .... I am on virtue ...global is same as here... I can give you pointers

Thanks I didn't choose spines I made a claw/regen and it seems to be workingout great so far. I have a couple scrappers that I go to school with to help me out although I may make a char on Virtue just to say Hi.
