Cool, guessed that would be the case as I spoke to you in Atlas during the invasion

OK mate, glad you can make it

I'd say keep firesword, I delayed it a lot in my build to find it being better than any of my ST blasts (am Ice though not elec)

1) Schrodingers Cat Rad/Rad
2) Big Bear Inv/SS
3) Glacial Blade Ice/BA
4) Zipzap Kin/Elec
5) Assault Gunnar AR/Dev
6) Rogue Warrior AR/Dev
7) A Nightmarish Scrapper
8) Tata Morgana Ill/Emp

If that's alright with all?

An Ice tank, who'd have thought it. Grats on 50 number 3

I have fitness, leaping and fighting pools with my Fire/Dark

I didn't bother with Ob Gloom or Cloak Of Fear as end is a real issue for you.

Medicine isn't that useful as you have the most powerful (if most costly) self heal in the game already. Dark Regen.

I use Fire Sword Circle, Electric Fences, Lightning Ball and Breath Of Fire to do the vast majority of my damage. Lets face it with Fire/DA you want to kill as many with as few attacks possible, as end is an issue. So AoEs is the way to go.

Its not a popular combo as the end cost is sill compared to most other brutes. But damn it looks good and kicks out nice orange numbers. Just expect to have a green bar and a black one rather than a green bar and a blue one

always have my planners set to +2 SOs so wasn't sure about evens

I dont have any IOs on my DM/SR as yet, when I do will let you know how it goes. I also am shy one of the passives, as I very rarely get ranged agro and like to keep Aid Self in (I get hit more than you probably so Aid Self stops that being such an issue)

I like the idea of IO'ing up my scrapper but I have a fun plan for my blaster first

Grats on Hater getting there, knew it would be soon

1) Schrodingers Cat Rad/Rad
2) Big Bear Inv/SS
3) MaX (some alt or other)
4) Nyr lvl 50 Katana/SR Scrapper
5) Zipzap Kin/Elec
6) Evil Bob (probably)
7) SatanZ Kat/Inv
8) Sonique Boom Sonic/En Blast

No worries mate

At level 35 an invention is roughly equal to a +2SO, at 40 they out perform them

See I'd recomend Thunderstrike for the times when the boss is left and the rest are gone. Helps stacking stuns with Cosmic Burst, gives fairly nice damage and can be slotted with Sirroccos Dervish and thus a good general boost

Rad Emission/Dark Miasma is the ultimate debuffer. I plan to play one after my blaster.

On a serious note Nightmarer is right, DM/SR is the most fun scrapper ever. My build is different from both of Nightmarers and entirely different from the other two DM/Srs that I know. And yet all 5 work very well. DM/SR solo's and teams nicely, isn't bad in PvP and looks damned impressive

As I need need a group flyer if I want to play my blaster. And believe me I do

If I can scrounge a tesam spot might bring my Blaster then

He does have powersink and AM

That combination has never done me wrong (though I do have hasten too)

I might just be able to make that. Two of my 50s have FLy but I want to use the other one..... will see how I feel. I guess scrapping it could be fun

The return of the third endslot in EF is still minimal IMO where you could probably scrape together that 0.9 EPS elsewhere. With all attacks already carrying a End Red and without CC in the current build I really dont see the point. If CC was in there and you had SERIOUS problems it could work out alright. I fixed mine by taking a rch out of iradiate and putting another endred in that

Oh and I ran RI with no end reds in until the Hami-Os that are in there now.

Remember entering a mission to find the inv tank had brought the whole map to the door saying in team chat "soul Drain them and kill them"

He had to herd a whole map to start taking damage it seemed. Of course then my regen could use provoke to herd over the current herd cap and live with no issues. Times change. Sometimes for the better. I mean hell if I'd teamed with the guy too long he'd have been the only person to see the maps

Oh yeah, I dropped the Nuke too, missed that. Maybe if I was soloing it I'd use it but as a team built character I need my end more.

Youd do more putting End Reds in attacks than having 3 in RI and EF though. I personally see the third as being pointless, if someone could do the numbers am sure it would be clear.

Hasten is mainly what I use for AM (and I have powersink, I guess it helps in the same way for conserve power though). If someone speed boosts me I have close to perma AM, that's worth it for a team.

Iradiate & Chocking Cloud work so well together its unbelievable. Can use it to destroy any alpha coming your way. I use Iradiate before toggling on because it activates faster than RI. Then you can pretty much stand there and watch. (That's just as he's going for the Rad/Rad combo, with anything else I'd RI first)

3rd option, move ToF earlier and swap Shadow Punch for Soul Drain would be my quick alteration to one build to make it playable for me.

Once I've finished my Blasters build I might well be working on one with the intention of maxing recharge rather than def (I play more for damage than survivability on mine) If I can get more stacks of PB and MG I'll be happy

Am I the only person who loves combustion? Or is it just cause I dont have fireball available?

Until level 50 where you can get the HOs put 3 def debuffs 3 tohit debuffs in RI.

EF only needs two end reds, the third does hadly anything

AM needs 3 endmods really

I love Choking Cloud, 3 end red, 3 hold and with your def debuff you'll hold 5-10 mobs in each group

Why TP foe? Recall freind would be better with Fallout

I'd personally rather have Electron Haze than the snipe, how often will you be pulling? The snipe takes too much time in combat even if you slot with interupt reductions

1 recharge in RA is probably enough. You're not a healor

I could post mine but its got a lot of IOs and HOs in it and isn't really a handy pre 50 build now

OK cool, let me know when you know
