    Same for /regen. Thats the only really survivable scrapper secondary.
    Other sets will play ok, but pvp is best with ranged powersets I believe.
    Id work on one of the blaster/defenders you usually play if you wanna pvp.
    Otherwise its spines/rgn.

    AV solo'n is kinda the same position as pvp. Some sets work much better than others. Ive a 500 million influence ma/da build that sucks solo'n AV's and crushes in regular pve content. Dm/sr can solo AV's with just SO's.

    fire/rgn as mentioned above might be as close as your gonna get to meeting your 3 qualifications. And at pvp/AV's is where that toon is gonna be weakest.

    Just my opinion.



    *facepalm*

    Fire/regen is one of the best PvP scraps out there so don't listen to this guy. Spine/regen is a good powerset though for pvp but you specifically said you don't want spines (and it would be very tough to solo AV's on a spines, albeit not impossible). Fire is also great for AV's and still has nice AoE (Go FSC!) A Fire/SR can probably solo AV's cheaper than any other combo but SR is terrible for PvP.


    If you want to have PvP ability, AV soloing ability, and still be strong in AoE, you are going to want to pick Fire/regen. Built with high recharge it will be very strong. Check the guides section because I believe there are lots of guides on fire/regen since it is so popular.

    If you decide not to PvP, you may want to consider claws (which is pretty bad in pvp due to its fast animation times and highly resisted lethal damage)

    As I have time I will continue to read the thread and I can sense a new project coming on...

    So I am thinking a build which can hit the soft cap on def w/o many IO sets that confer +def would be the type of toon which would best be able to benefit from purples. So are we talking Tanks here? Shield Scrappers?

    What types of toons do you all think can make best use of purples sets and still remain very survivable vs AVs, GMs, fights way beyond the aggro cap etc...?





    Make a claw/SR scrapper and talk to Bill Z Bubba
  4. DaveMebs
    You are really gonna need a few IOs for SR to be survivable, but once you hit the softcap it will be great. You could easily softcap for under 100mil and probably 50mil. Also BS and SR tend to both have high endurance drain, so you might not be able to get rid of that problem without gimping yourself, or getting really expensive IOs.
  5. DaveMebs
    I think SR is the worst secondary scrapper set in PvP so I wouldn't try that.

    ....Are you talking to me or umbral? It is unclear in certain spots

    Claw/DA

    POST-ACTION

    I am basically looking for a cheap claw/dark build to hold me over until I get the moolah to buy all the fancy stuff for my final build. Anyone have a decent build under 400mil?
  8. DaveMebs
    I would go with the cold but that's mostly because I hate storm. It's probably my least favorite set in CoH

    Question: Which hero-side AT is best equipped for taking out pesky stalkers?
  10. DaveMebs
    "So simply because I'm asking for help I'm suppose to let people respond however they want and just "take it"? "

    That's exactly what you are supposed to do. You asked for advice, umbral gave it to you, you didn't like what he/she said, and now you are at umbral for telling you what to do in order to max out your survivability?
  11. DaveMebs
    Kurugi, don't post a thread asking for help and then get angry because you don't like the responses. Bad form man.
  12. DaveMebs
    To the OP, if you want a build that is statistically more survivable than the rest, listen to Umbral. If you want a build that satisfies your predetermined "logic" as to how regen should be built/played, listen to the other guys.
  13. DaveMebs
    Are you going for a pvp build or a pve build?

    Doesnt that go both ways though? (Insert sexual joke here)
  15. DaveMebs
    You don't need to slot MoG for defense. It gets you way more defense than you will ever need in any situation. You do however, need to slot it for recharge. I agree it can be tough to distinguish between good and bad advice but just make sure you have a complete understanding of what each poster is saying.

    Werner, great rectangle analogy.

    Yes, yes you should. Umbral is absolutely correct.
  17. DaveMebs
    Looks pretty good. I would suggest slotting FU with ToD acc/dam, mako's bite acc/dam/end/rech, and crushing impact acc/dam/rech. In the fourth slot I would slot the gaussian's synchronized fire-control chance for buildup. Those changes should help your DPS. However, there will be a 13 second downtime when hasten is not up and you will not be able to run the FU/focus/slash/strike atack chain. You could always mix in spin/eviscerate into that while hasten is down.
  18. DaveMebs
    You had the 5% recharge bonus slotted 9 times. The rule of 5 states that it will only work 5 times so the extra 4 times are a waste. I reworked a lot of the enhancements, and they appear to be about the same price as before, maybe a tiny bit more. The changes I made should give you much more HP, runspeed, damage buffs, and mezresist. I also decided to stick with the -resist debuff enhancements instead of the force feedback proc. I think the -resist will be increase killspeed more than the added recharge.

    I want base raids again. I know it's not gonna happen soon....but a gy can dream.....inter-server PvP would be cool but I have no idea what sort of logistics that would require so it may be impossible.




    It would also actually be kind of cool to be able to "raid" other servers.
  21. DaveMebs
    Ah yes I had two mids windows open (one with my build, one with yours) and clicked the wrong one.

    I like your first build better but I can see a few points that could be improved. Take a look at my build and see how you like the changes.

    I have been known to PvP with a kat/regen scrapper on occasion. Couple of things:

    1. Skip DA
    --Defense is nearly worthless in PvP
    --You need to output lots of damage FAST and DA will kill your DPS
    2. Get recharge
    3. Get recharge
    4. Get web nade and targeting drone
    --Web nade is uber annoying to ranged
    --It causes recharge which is really annoying
    --Helps lot with teammates who can attack while you spam the nade
    5. Try to get any kind of slow resist possible (Winter's gift in travel power)
    6. Get recharge
    7. Only need gambler's cut, soariung dragon, and golden draginfly
    --Nothing else besides nade
    8. Build for recharge, +HP (maybe a tad bit of accuracy)

    I would suggest posting this question in the PvP section of the boards where they tend to know a bit more about pvp mechanics

    My kat/regen PvP build:

    The achilles heel and force feedback procs would both be beneficial in the 6th spots in soaring dragon/golden dragonfly. Kind of a toss up between the -res and rech.
  25. DaveMebs
    This is a build I whipped up just now. It could obviously be stronger but I tried to make it under 600mil like you asked.

    Not entirely sure why you took CP and PP in your build. As a claw/regen you shouldn't need those for endurance. In my build I went fire mastery so i could 4-slot char with basilisk's gaze to get another 7.5% rech. Also, taking fire blast allowed me to 5 slot decimation for a 6.25% recharge bonus. Then 5 slot fire ball with positron's blast (like you did with energy torrent). Taking fire mastery will get you a fair amount more recharge and damage. If you are set on taking body mastery, scrap a slot from somewhere and put a force feedback proc into the sixth slot in energy torrent. Preferably do the same with shockwave. I believe umbral covered everything else.

    Would you mind posting your most up-to-date build?
