One way to fix it is theft of essence chance for +end in Dark Regen. The other is pumping up your recovery using Physical P, stamina, numi/miracle uniques and set bonuses. My DA toon has 4.2 end/sec recov. and does fine.

    Kin melee does not have a +def. power like parry or divine avalanche so getting into some +def sets will also come in handy. Ideally you want high s/l and melee def. Kinetic Combats are an amazing set to do so but at a price.

    Finally if you can, get some global rech in there for Dark Regen.

    Again however, I am not too familiar with Kin Melee so idk how challengin this build could be but i expect it could be a pain in the neck
    I truly appreciate the feedback on DA, thank you!

    I imagine since KM is only a few days old the feedback will be sparse. But I'm hoping a vet with some beta experience might chime in.

    Thanks again!

    Greetings folks,

    I would like to start a KM/DA Scrapper but I need to know which powers are skippable in each set?

    I plan on soloing and grouping 50/50 and am not interested in PVP.

    It would be great if someone could post a basic SO leveling build so I can get the basic slotting down as both sets ae new to me and I know Dark Armor has a bit of a learning curve.

    Thank you!

    Fury,

    Would you mind posting a version of your Moderate Fire Build without a travel power?

    I am curious what you would replace it with and how it would effect the build.

    Thank you!

    No Elec/Elec connoisseur's out there?

    Greetings folks,

    Back after a short hiatus and have my eye on a elec/elec scrapper.

    I'm looking for a solid elec/elec build without a travel power. (Will rely on Ninja Run and Hurdle to get around.)

    I have roughly one-hundred million influence saved.

    My brain is fried from work and it would be great if someone could post a solid build I can wrap my head around to get me started

    Thank you!

    Yoru-Hime,

    Thank you for the in-depth review...

    What would you think about the following changes?

    Swap out "Piercing Rounds" for "Petrifying Gaze"

    Swap out "Maneuvers" for "Tactics"

    Greetings,

    I'm making a Duel Pistols Defender and have narrowed my choices down to Radiation Emission or Dark Miasma. While I do intend to team 50% of the time which set would serve me best for solo play?

    Also would a Corruptor so significantly better for the job that I should consider it over the Defender Archetype?

    Thank you!

    Greetings folks,

    I would like to give Dual Pistols a try and while I intend to team 50% of the time. I do like to solo grind and farm as well. So I'd like some opinions and advice on which Archetype would best suit Dual Pistols for my needs.

    Blaster, Corruptor, or Defender?

    Also I would appreciate any suggestions as to which power set would best pair up with "Dual Pistols." I know that other archetypes are better suited for soloing and farming but I would like to give this a solid try so any advice will be very welcome.

    Thank you!

    I'm not a stickler for grabbing every last ounce of DPS. However, I do think I fall into the category of someone that is bothered by redraw. Adding Bill Z Bubba's comments about DPS and the click heavy nature of Regen I think I might give Willpower or Super Reflexes a try.

    Thanks for all the great feedback folks!

    Greetings,

    I would like to give claws/regen a try and the only thing holding me back is weapon redraw due to Regen's click powers.

    How much of an issue will this actually be?

    I welcoem any and all thoughts on the subject.

    Thank you!

    Willpower?

    Desmodos,

    Thank you for the build. I found the willpower selections particualrly helpful.

    Thank you Fury Flechette and Deus Otiosus!

    Great advice. I will most likely use a combination of bot of your suggestions. Dark Watcher and Enfeebled Operation in particular.

    Thanks again!

    Greetings,

    After absorbing a great deal of information these past few days, here is my attempt at a MA/WP Scrapper Build. I would greatly appreciate feedback on this build and a ballpark estimate of the cost.

    Thank you!

    Could you provide a good example of a claws/Wp build that prioritzes +HP. What would be the most +HP you could reach without dipping into purples?

    Umbral,

    I have followed your advice here over the past few months and I have always been curious about the DM/Regen Scapper build you run with. Would you mind posting it.

    Thank you!

    Thank you Heraclea. It helped opening side by side for a comparison. It gave me a few ideas. Working on these builds in almost as fun as the game:-)

    Greetings,

    I'm going for a general purpose build and I cobbled this together after looking at various builds and tweaking it a bit to match something I feel might fit my play style.

    I group and solo at a rate of 50/50 on average.

    I chose "Laser Beam Eyes" as I wanted "Body Mastery" and thought it might be a good way to increase my "Single Target Damage."

    This is my first planned out Mid's build. I'm open to advice and suggestions and if anyone could give me a ballpark figure on the price that would be great.

    Thank you!

    Arboris
