Next I will show two builds with full IO sets. One build will have Aid Self and the other will have the fighting pool. The first build I will show will have the fighting pool, this build will cost more but not much more then the last build. With this build you can run the attack chain for Incinerate>Greater fire Sword>Creamte>Fire Sword that will be around 180 DPS.

Now that we got SO out of the way we can work with IOs. I will start out easy cheap soft capped build and work my way up in Inf. This build didn’t use a lot of IO sets. It has 4 Red Fortune in but they are not needed to get to the soft cap. I have them in there to help with the Recharge Time. I don’t think this would be a lot maybe only 50 mil but it could cost more depends on how the market is.

The Builds

Ok now for the builds. I will start with just SO because not every one plays with IOs. The first build would be a good build to level up with and it will still be good at level 50. The only thing I would do at level 50 is drop Scorch for Hasten but that is me. The build has 38% defense which is ok but if you want to get any IO I would get the SeteadFast Protection + 3% defense IO. It is about 125 Merits so it is not too hard to get and it will up your defense to 41.5% which is close to the soft cap.

Tier 5 Breath of fire (close cone Moderate DoT damage fire)
Available: Level 8
End Cost: 10.2
Recharge: 10s
Range: 15 ft
Arc: 30 degrees
Cast: 2.67s ACT 2.904s

This attack I didn’t like at all. It has a long Cast times and doesn’t do a lot of damage. It has a narrow cone and is hard to hit many enemies. This power is only good if you can hit 3 + every time. The best thing to do with this attack is to jump out of the groups and aim it to hit more. That is not what I like to do so I skipped it.
Recommend Slotting: 1 Accuracy 3 Damage, 1 Endurance Reduction, 1 Recharge Reduction,


Tier 6 Confront (ranged, foe taunt)
Available: Level 12
End Cost: 0
Recharge: 3s
Range: 70 ft
Cast: 1.67s ACT 1.848s

All Scrappers get this power. I don’t recommend getting this power at all as a scrapper. It is a single target Taunt and really doesn’t help you or your team that much.

Fiery Melee/Super Reflexes overview

Fiery Melee/ Super Reflexes is one of my favorite toons to play. I have always been a big fan of Super Reflexes. So when Fiery Melee came to Scrapper I had to roll a Fiery Melee/Super Reflexes. Super Reflexes is one for the best Scrapper Secondary Power sets. Super Reflexes is base around Positional Defense or not getting hit. There are 3 types of positional Defense and they are Melee, Range, and AoE. Super Reflexes gives you 1 toggle and 1 auto power of each type. If you want to learn a lot about defense look Here. That is Arcanaville’s guide to defense it is a long read. If you don’t want to read all for that I can give you some help. With Super Reflexes it will give you and good defense number of 30% with SO. What does that mean? An even level minion has a 50% base chance to hit you. So if you have 30% Defense to all positional defense, that would mean you would take 50%-30%=20%. So an even level minion will now only have a 20% chance to hit you.

Now you may have heard of a thing called “Soft Capped” Defense. Soft Capped Defense is 45%. As I said before that an even level minion has a 50% base chance to hit you. So with 45% defense would only give him a 5% chance to hit you. That will floor his to hit because an even level minion will always have at least a 5% chance to hit you. So having 60% Defense will be the same as having 45%. Now AV, EB will have a better chance to hit you then a even level minion but this is still no point to go over 45% as that will floor theirs as well. Now on other Defensive sets you might want to build for more Defenses maybe 50% because of Defense Debuff. Will with Super Reflexes you are in luck, with all of the powers of Super Reflexes you can have 95% Resistance to defense debuff so you will only need to be 46-47% at most.

Now lets get to Fiery Melee. Fiery Melee was bought over to Scrapper in Issue 12 With Powers Proliferation. Fiery Melee is now one of the best Scrapper Primary Power in single target and AoE damage. Fiery Melee has a good mixture of fire, lethal and smashing damage. The best part about fiery Melee is it is not resisted by a lot of foes. So it will always be good damage. For the single target attack chain Incinerate&gt;Greater fire Sword&gt;Creamte&gt;Fire Sword will but the best one to aim for. You can get better but it takes a lot more recharge and is only 4% better. That attack chain is Incinerate&gt;Greater Fire Sword&gt;Creamte, but I stick with the first one. For the AoE damage it is just one Attack Fire Sword Circle, It is that good of attack. Fire Sword Circle should be your lead attack when going into a mob and then clean up the rest with your single target attacks. Fiery Melee also has a small Damage over time (DoT) with each of its attacks. While it is not a lot of damage it just adds to the damage out put for a scrapper.

Roll of the Scrapper

What is the roll of the Scrapper in this game? Well it is to take down the big guys like bosses, EB and AV. You will be in Melee range and will be getting hit. No matter how good of a Tank you have on a team you will still get hit with AoEs. That is why the Scrapper Secondary is Defensive sets, so they don’t get killed. Now you might have heard of a thing called Scrapperlock. Scrapperlock can happen very easy with a Fire/SR scrapper. You just want to run group to group killing every thing in your way. Just note that it is bad to run back to the group and to get every one else killed. If you get in over your head just do the honorable thing and die in the group but not without a fight A Scrapper is also one of the best AT to solo with.


Power Guide

In the power guide I will give you what I feel is import info to know about the power. For the Attacks I will give you Cast time and Adjusted Cast Time(ACT) so it will be easier for you to get to get the numbers that you will need. If you don’t know what Adjusted Cast Time the real cast time of a power. It is use for DPS and finding out how what time a power need to recharge in. Adjusted Cast Time = (ROUNDUP(Cast time / 0.132)+1) * 0.132.

Tier 1 Scorch (Melee, Minor DMG fire)
Available: level 1
End Cost: 4.37
Recharge: 3s
Range: 7 ft
Cast time: 1s ACT=1.188s

This is your normal Tier 1 attack. It does minor fire damage and recharge fast. There is not much to say about this attack. It just good to use to level up but when you get more attack you don’t need it.
Recommend Slotting: 1 Accuracy 3 Damage, 1 Endurance Reduction, 1 Recharge Reduction,

Tier 2 Fire Sword (Melee, Moderate Damage fire/Lethal)
Available: Level 1
End Cost: 6.86
Recharge: 6s
Range: 7 ft
Cast: 1.33s ACT 1.584s

I would take this attack over Scorch it does more damage. This attack will be one of your staples in your single target attack chain even up to soloing Avs. This attack like all other Fiery Melee attacks does damage over time.
Recommend Slotting: 1 Accuracy 3 Damage, 1 Endurance Reduction, 1 Recharge Reduction,

Tier 3 Cremate (Melee, High Damage smash/fire)
Available: Level 2
End Cost: 8.53
Recharge: 8s
Range: 7ft
Cast: 1.5s ACT 1.716s

This is a great attack I would recommend getting it as soon as you can. It does great damage. This attack will be a key attack as you level up and at level 50. This attack like all other Fiery Melee attacks does damage over time.
Recommend Slotting: 1 Accuracy 3 Damage, 1 Endurance Reduction, 1 Recharge Reduction,

Tier 4 Build Up (+Damage + Tohit)
Available: Level 6
End Cost: 5.2
Recharge: 90s
Cast: 1.17s
This is just like all your build-ups for Scrappers. It gives you a 100% damage buff and a 20% Tohit (un-Enhance) for 10 sec. This power can be skipped till later but you will want to get this power sometime around level 30.
Recommend Slotting: 2-3 Recharge Reduction 0-1 tohit

Which Will Power power grants Def debuff resistance?

[/ QUOTE ]

Heightened Senses

Ok I reread it and _Mojo_ is right and here is why.

first you say

[ QUOTE ]
A skilled */wp is going to survive about the same time as an unskilled */regen.

[/ QUOTE ]

So A good /WP is as good a and bad /Regen then you say.

[ QUOTE ]
An unskilled */wp will generally survive longer than an unskilled */regen.

[/ QUOTE ]

so and bad /WP will survive more then and Bad /Regen, but a good /WP will live just as long?

[ QUOTE ]
A skilled */regen will survive about as long, if not longer, than an equally skilled */wp.

[/ QUOTE ]

so a good regen will be just as good but if not better then a good willpower.

what doesn't make sense is you just said that a a
good Willpower player=Bad regen player
Bad Willpower player &gt;Bad regen player
Good Willpower player=or&lt; Good regen Player
How does a good willpwer player live just as long as a bad regen player when a Bad willpower player will live longer that is why it doesn't make sense.

What I think you mean to say was a skilled */wp is going to survive about the same time as an unskilled */Wp.

Once upon a Positron there was a bug. It's purple Mankey liked saving walruses deaths. Until a green shoe fell off a pretty cloud of root beer fluff cleaving off seven little toes while chewing Bubblegum. After seeing the drunk Pinnacle-ite puke chunky bits of magnets, it stumbled into a garbage carafe. Feeling pretty depressed, it died a Lonely death.

Elsewhere, there were some hungry hippos dancing on me for every time one slurps from the fountain of Wayne. In the early dawn, sirens wailed under a pale little moon made of nothing. People thought they saw Ghost Widow munching on Doritos with Valerie. But it wasn't Doritos, it was a magical corncob that sexy Jay designed with care.

ditto

Cast times for DM is

AdjustedCastTime = (ROUNDUP(Casttime/ 0.132)+1) * 0.132
so
smite=1.188
SL=2.112
MG=2.244

So
MG need to recharge in 4.488
SL need to recharge in 4.62
Smite need to recharge in 2.112

*facepalm*

/Dark is a great secondary just because it is not /SR it doesn't mean it sucks.

[ QUOTE ]
There are a lot of problems with the idea.

1. Movement.
Forward and back,even turning - ok. But you can do things that a vehicle can't - such as strafe (direct side to side or angular movement.) It doesn't work with a vehicle.

2. Terrain.
Not every place has roads, or even makes sense for "off roading." Go look at Founder's Falls. Go look at Crey's Folley. Or Eden. Try to get to the north islands in Talos. What, do you have a kubelwagen? Look at the Pit in Sharkshead. Try to use your travel power (car) to get up to some of the doorways in high caves. Cars and motorcycles would be more like Superspeed - horizontal movement, period. And look - I'll be blunt - flat out *stupid* tied with, say, Combat Jumping or Superjump.

3. Combat.
You get ambushed on the way. How do you fight? Just have your powers blast out of the rolled up windows? How do you buff or debuff? EVERY power would need a new animation. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Then you want people with motorcycles instead of cars. Redo ALL the animations AGAIN. And they still wouldn't make sense - how do you use Footstomp in a car? Or Stalagmites?

4. Customizing.
Yeah, it would come up. Not everyone would want a sports car, or a mid-70s Buick boat, or an exotic, or a minivan, or whatever else.

5. Making "sense."
This was touched on in terrain - how do you get across water? How about the Shadow Shard? And if you want downright ridiculous looking, go do the heroside 25-34 Respec. Look at the Sky Skiffs inside of rooms or the reactor room. It makes no sense and looks *ridiculous.* Something that, yes, the devs try to avoid.

That's just a quick overview of some of the issues with having vehicles as a travel power.

As a flashing avatar

fire/Dark is a fun build, I have one at lvl 26 right now and it is a blast to play like all scrapper are.

Some things about your build

The Endurance Reduction in Combat Jumping is a waste it only save you .02 Endurance. So you don't need that slotted.

DarkRegeneration is a big end hug, you want to slot that with as much Endraance Reduction you can and Acc you don't need to care about the heal part. As long as you hit 3+ it should heal you back to full health. A good IO to put in it is Theft of Essence: Chance for +Endurance.

Death Shroud could use more Endurance reduction in it for toggle it does take a lot of end.

Your attacks are slotting ok but I would look in to slotting the full sets to get some of the Def numbers. If you can get all of your Def numbers around 20% it makes a big different. I would look at getting Weave that should help too.

that is just somethings I saw there are more small things. I hope this helps and gives you Ideal of what more to build for.

For the AV soloing Fire melee is a great set to go for it but /DA is not the best. The Heal cost some much end it is hard to live and other things. It can be done but it is not the best for it.

they need to be on or over 45

[/ QUOTE ]

Something about this bugs me...

You say need as it is soft capped defense or go home. Which is not true you can do just fine with 35%ish def. 45% def is what you should work for.

So you should say you want to get those positional defense numbers higher and the closer to 45% the better.

I don't get to the red very often. When I die, it is usually extremely quick.

Same here, if I die when I'm on with one of my /SR I'm at like half health and it is just one big hit that gets me.

You can started it at 40. You can't get the powers till lvl 41.

No need to change it at all just when you get to SO put 2 Recharge reduction in it and it will be perma.

Edit: opps put to instend of 2 fix'ed
