Oh, if you didn't already know this I certainly didn't make it clear - the Atlas Medallion and Portal Jockey are not IOs. They're accolade powers/badges that you get by completing certain tasks in the game. Start here:
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Hero_Accolades
You'll see that each grants +5 maximum endurance, which helps more than you might think, as more endurance means faster endurance recovery. Portal Jockey also gives you +5% maximum health. If you click on the badges, you'll see the list of requirements for each, which will be a bunch of OTHER badges. Click through on those to get a clear description of how to get them. Once you have all of the prerequisite badges, the accolade power/badge will appear.
The easiest place to get The Silver Bullet and The Slayer is Striga in my opinion. There's a swamp area with graveyards and other things around it, and it's crawling with werewolves during the day and vampires at night. It still takes quite some time to rack up 200 kills of each, but it's worth it on a character with endurance problems.Just Finished doing the Atlas Medallion thing, thanks for that! -

At 40, I'd want my attacks to be frankenslotted with a focus on endurance reduction. I'd want the Miracle and Numina uniques, and a Performance Shifter proc in Stamina along with three blues. I'd want the Atlas Medallion, and I'd be looking forward to picking up Portal Jockey. And you must must must have the Theft of Essence +endurance proc in Dark Regeneration. Then consider picking up Conserve Power and Physical Perfection. I'd probably be using Oppressive Gloom instead of Cloak of Fear at 40. I think I switched over to Cloak of Fear sometime in the 40s, probably once I had Conserve Power.
With an end game build, you can pick up the Cardiac Core Alpha, which can make a big difference. I'd had sustainable endurance without it on an earlier iteration of my build, but Cardiac allowed me to burn endurance in my powers like there was no tomorrow and still be sustainable (with proper toggle management, anyway). Cardiac can also make a non-negligible difference in your resistance, which is nice.
I'm "noob" so what does Frankenslotted mean? and where can I get those items you were listing? Sorry mate, I appreciate the help!

If you want to farm, don't make a Broad Sword/Dark Scrapper. Enemies run and your AoE is only so-so. I probably farm two or three times faster on my Fire/Shield Scrapper as on my Katana/Dark, and a well-built Super Strength/Fire Brute is significantly better than even that, and probably even more so on a custom-built ambush map (I kinda hate AE personally, so mostly stay away).
But viable? Yeah, you can be viable. It's a good combination. As far as building it, I soft-capped mine, and spent huge amounts of influence making up for most of the trade offs you'd normally suffer when doing so. You can also soft cap on a "budget", but the build will be more compromised, even if still very survivable. You can also forgoe some of that defense, and focus more on the strengths of the set.
I'll post my I19 build (Katana is built almost the same as Broad Sword), but at this point, it's probably not how I'd build it from scratch. Now that Barrier is available, and now that I've seen (at least on paper) a nice smooth ramp down in performance as to-hit ramps up, I might settle for 40% defense and let Barrier make up the gap, and probably still be good for incarnate content. That would allow me to pick up Hasten to better spam Dark Regeneration. It might also let me better slot Cloak of Fear. Seems to me it would be worth it. Also, Broad Sword wants more recharge than Katana for the good chains, so Hasten would help you there. And you want Hack to replace Gambler's Cut, not Slash. I haven't thought about what might change as a result of enhancement boosters. I'd like to pick up another point of knockback resistance, as I occasionally spin in mid air, and might be giving up the Flight pool for Hasten.

My guys only 40 but he sucks endurance like a beast, nay way of fixing that? -
Started playing couple days ago, decided to go full VIP.
Played this game since 2004 (on and off). Still haven't had 1 single level 50.
My Question is: How Should I build my BS/DA Scrapper?
I'd like to be viable, and if at all possible Farm? -

Also, one way to cure a newb-osity infection is to start a brand new character of your chosen type and Play it up a dozen levels or two. In the process you will surely pick up a better feel for how the game and the character plays Now. Then you can turn around and apply your knowledge to the older character.
Be Well!
FireheartThanks mate! -

I was also wondering if there were any tips, i'm completely "noob"
I'm also level 40 Currently. -
Thanks guys! really helping me out, Great community some guy i grouped up with gave me 50mill. I thought I was rich with 8mill, but i guess not,! haha
Anyway that helped me buy some standard Enhancement slots from the Natural Vendor in one of the cities, I guess I should go back and reslot with common IO's, where could I find those though? -

I think he means:
Don't go crazy on the IO sets until after you get to higher level, they're nice, especially with the set bonuses you can get, but for leveling all you need to do is make sure your powers' stats are in the right places....you can save set bonuses for later
also, note that fitness is now inherent, if you left before that became the standard, the old fitness is still there, respec and you get the Fitness pool for free and that should free up 3 powersAhh, thank you! since i'm not buying IO's should i stack the regular ehancements i get from vendors? ++ them? -

Broad Sword & Dark Armor yes?
I could see grabbing either Medicine (for Aid Self) or Fighting (for Tough) in place of Fitness.
Slotting DA has got a LOT more technical since IO sets. However for leveling you don't need to worry about it. Ask, but reserve judgement until 50. As for where you should be: doing WST for great justice.I'm sorry, what does that means?
and Thanks for the help! -

on my DB/DA scrapper I swapped the fitness pool out for taking boxing, tough & weave. think its the "fighting" pool. once you get to choose the epic pool, take body mastery for conserve power & physical perfection. (believe you have to take a lower tier before conserve power) DA is alot more fun once you dont have to stop after every mob to wait for your blue bar to catch up.
and welcome backThank you, much appreciated! -
Started in 2004, Decided to Jump back on my level 39 BS/DA Scrapper.
I have a couple questions to ask, hope you can help!
1. I'm following the The Swiss Army Scrapper Build, is it still good?

2. As you can see i have to use the fitness power set, what should I substitute for it?
Also if there is a better build for scrappers, i'd love for you to link it
thank you!
Also, where should I be at 39?
