Pretty much this.

OWtS is a good power the thing is most of my /SD build are so tight that I end up droping it for Hasten or something else that will get more use.

I know what you mean, Love Fire Ball I didn't even think about getting Aid self when you can have SC>FSC>FB. What I did was just use a marco to combine 3 insps to make greens. When I need them I just need to click the marco and it will combine all that it can, very nice to have.

Gratz!!! I hit 50 about 3 weeks ago with mine, almost done with the build just need like 3 more IOs but it is a lot of fun to play

The Brute will not be doing 250% more damage than a Scrapper, it will be doing more but not that much more.

Scrapper damage at cap = 1.125 damage scale * (100% + ~10% chance of critical) * 500% damage cap = 6.19
Brute damage at cap = 0.75 damage scale * 850% damage cap = 6.38

The Brute damage cap is 350% higher but with that 350% it will only be doing a bit more.

Yup and here is castle talking about it.

Sure you can do a lot about it. If you don't like something in this game you can say you don't like it a post how a change might be good, and the Devs do listen to the player base. Look what they did with Posi TF and the last room in the Numina Task Force. They didn't change that stuff because they wanted to it was becuase the player base wanted it.


What he is talking about why it might be hard to get this done because some people don't like it. It has everything to do with the topic.


Yes and that is the point they are advertising and people are not showing up. Don't you see something wrong there?

Well Sailboat did mentioned Dark Melee

For Me it's not about tech not fitting or anything, he as a Dark/Dark Tank so why not try something new.

I was the same way I didn't like it at first but I still wanted one at 50. When I got that one at 50 I started to love it. Now the only Scrapper Primary that can go with Shields that I don't have at 50 is Broad Sword and I will be making him soon.

If you do a random roll it will come up the lvl you are or the max lvl of the IO. So if you're 50 it will come out at 50 or max lvl, but if you're lvl 33 it will come out at lvl 33, which seems to sell good.

For overall Damage that would be Fire. AoE damage it would be Elec(I think) and ST damage would be Dark, at top end. Fire as great ST damage will little rech and FSC is all the AoE damage you really need.

Now For Overall survivability it is how you look at it. Dark gives you Siphon Life which is a ok heal and a great attack, and as -tohit in most of its attacks. So Dark would be good for that but if you look at it what is dead can't kill you then Fire would be good too.

Dual Blades and Katana are different. Dual Blades as the Combos and Blinding Feint which is a great power. Katana as Divine Avalanche which gives you +Def. Now Both are great combos but Katana/Regen with Divine Avalanche will help you live.

Edit to add. With Dual Blades you don't need to use the combos. The combos are fun but not needed. If you want to use them go head but if you don't use them you will be just fine. I started with them but when I got to higher levels I stop using them because I didn't like Nimble Slash. The better combos to use are Attack Vitals and Sweep. linky

Well it all depends on what you want if you want.

a good Scrapper to start out with is a Kat/WP. It is very fun to play all the way up and gives nothing up at the end.

It is really hard to go wrong with A Scrapper all the powers are great some do go better with other power but any/any Scrapper will be fun to play.

Some of my Fav combos are

Dark Melee/Shield Defense
Fire/Shield Defense
Elec/Shield Defense
Fire/Fire
DB/Regen
Claws/Super Reflexes
Dark Melee/Super Reflexes
Katana/Fire
Katana/Elec
Broad Sword/willpower

Well don't have time to look at your build but Scorch is a good attack. Not as good as FS but it does have ok DPS. I run Incinerate>Scorch>Cremate>Scorch for my Attack chain with my Fire/SD. Scroch as better DPE than Fire Sword and it is a lot easier to get the rech down for Scroch than Fire Sword.

I was thinking the same thing, and Blasters do not have it in their Epics.

This Looks good, and I always wanted this.

Ok lets see you have 2 BoTZ in your build that gives you 6.25% def to ranged and AoE. Your number in your build right now are

Melee 47.4%
Ranged 47.3%
AoE 47.9%

You will be losing 3.75% ranged and 2.5% AoE when I17 hits.(2 BoTZ now for ranged is 6.25% after I17 they will only be 2.5%. So 6.25-2.5=3.75, and with AoE you get 6.25 now and after it will be 3.75% with 6.25-3.75=2.5%) So your new number after I17 will be

Melee 47.4%
Ragned 43.55%
AoE 45.4%

So I was wrong about AoE but your ranged is still under. Again this is when solo with one in ranged of PF you will be over.

End doesn't look like it will be good but really didn't look at it too much.

Well I never found Dual Blade end heavy after you get Stamina. Once you get Stamina is just like every thing else. Dual Blades combos are fun, and I did use them at first but if you're like me and just want to kill things fast you really don't want to use them. The only combo you really need is Attack Vitals(Ablating Strike>Vengeful Slice>Sweeping Strike) Just use Blinding Feint>Attack vitals and you're good. But really just do want you find fun As for /SR it is one of my favoite sets in the game. It is a little slow at first, more for scrapper, but when you get good defense numbers to all 3 defense(Melee, Range, AoE) then it starts to shine. It might not be the best for multiple AVs, but it can still get the job done.

And welcome to the Game!!!

But LR doesn't crit but still a good attack.
