Dark_Bruiser

Moment of Glory..

I remember respeccing out of MoG with my 50 a while back. MoG completely ruins the Regeneration set. Has nothing to do with what /Regens are made for, and even if you do have it, it takes a while for the +Defense to kick in. I noticed if you use it as an "Holy Crap!" button, it WILL get you killed. (It did a ton for me.) I use it when I have low health, mostly above the MoG drop, and the Defense it gives doesn't do [censored]. Please, if you want us to make more Regens, I'd suggest making our last Regen power a LOT mores useful. By that I mean like lots of +Regen, and +Recovery. Not a big 'drop my health down, give me NO regen, but boost my Def and Res a bit' power. (Or save yourselves some trouble, and bring Instant Healing back to a toggle with the End Cost of a thousand DA Scrappers/Brutes.)

Great, great guide here. You convinced me to make an INV/SS Tank. Thanks!

I have a level 21 Dark/Dark Brute atm. He's a semi-heavy endurance user. Now, with Stamina, will I still waste endurance like it's out of style?

I have my lvl 39 Katana/SR Scrapper and I love him. He is a God. I want to share my Godlyness with all you people.

1: Gambler's Cut/Focused Fighting (3 dmg/6 def)
2: Sting of the Wasp (1 endred, 3 dmg)
4: Flashing Steel (1 acc, 3 dmg)
6: Focused Senses (4 def)
8: Divine Avalanche (1 acc, 4 def)
10: Practiced Brawler (1 recharge)
12: Combat Jumping (1 def)
14: Super Jump (1 jump)
16: Swift (1 run)
18: Lotus Drops (1 endred, 1 acc, 3 dmg)
20: Health (3 health)
22: Stamina (3 endrec)
24: Dodge (4 def)
26: Soaring Dragon (1 endred, 1 acc, 3 dmg)
28: Quickness (1 run)
30: Agile (4 def)
32: Golden Dragonfly (1 endred, 1 acc, 1 recharge, 3 dmg)
35: Evasion (4 def)
38: Elude (3 recharge)

If some of you are wondering, yes, I will put another recharge reduction on Practiced Brawler. It comes back 10-15 seconds late. However, I usually don't need it cause I barely get hit. NOTE: Heavily slot your toggled defenses before autos. Toggles give more defense than autos. Much more.

The 4 Defense Buffs on Divine Avalanche REALLY hits the spot. Although I barely use it, it's still extremely nice to have. Especially noticing that I get hit 10%-5% of the time with DA activated.

If I start to use Elude a lot more, I might consider putting an endurance recovery in it. Your defense is heavily boosted by Elude anyway. Why put more? You can already stand +2 +3 level enemies above you. Plus, you could use that +Endurance Recovery since you do run out of endurance after a long fight. Believe me, it's worth it.

Doesn't your Katana/Dark build waste a ton of endurance? That's what I'm scared about.

I have experience in high level Claw Scrappers. I seem to deal (On a scale of 1-10) 8 on damage. I hope this guide will help you all that need it.

Well, that's all folks! Hope you enjoy my guide to a Claw/Regeneration Scrapper! I am planning on Respecing once Issue 7 is live. I will post another guide or edit this one once I do so.

Ebon, you're great. Knowing that Divine Avalanche is going to become a 45% Defence boost in I7, brightens up my day. (Especially when I have a Katana/Regen build) As long as you keep posting on this thread, I'll be right behind you. And before you said that I'd become somewhat like a Tanker? Will I be as tough against an AV? I doubt it, but I'm just curious since I like to try and solo TFs and people told me that the AVs in TFs stay AVs..

My level 41 Dark Melee/Regen Scrapper's name is Dark Bruiser. Some of you might know him, some may not. If they didn't nerf Regen, I could probably solo some AVs. But now I can't. Here's how I got Dark Bruiser to be an awesome Scrapper. NOTE: Dark Bruiser DOES NOT have Stamina
