Not sure how my Scrapper's handled the last two issues. I sort of slept through Issue 6 whilst a certain other MMO had my attention.
Anyhow, during Collusium I got my Terra Volta Respec. Was happy with that in my mid-level glee, and went to Mr Wolfe then and there, and respecialised.
Something I noticed was that the Auto: Self+Def (Agile, Lucky) powers allowed me to do some energy conservation by completely replacing the activated versions (Focussed Fighting, Focussed Senses) and buying back those important Primary Attacks for my Broadsword, and getting a hold of Stamina from the Fitness tree.
I came out of Respec with Hack, Slash, Slice, Whirling Blade, Focussused Fighting (needed to be taken at Lvl 1) Dodge, Agile, Practiced Brawler (because fighting Status Effects is NEVER fun), Combat Jumping, Super Jumping, Hurdle, Health and Stamina (least, that's how I remember it)
With the Respec I enhanced my Auto:Self+Def powers to Six-Slots each, and they're now full of Single (with one or two Dual) Origin Enhancers for Defense Buffs. My attacks are likewise full, although with the new patch, I might move some accuracy buffers into the raw damage slots.
Question is, though, is my reasoning right? Is it better having these Auto Powers slotted up maximum and focus now on my offensive/regenerative pool powers, or should I some day actually go back to my activated reflexive powers and do some serious work on them? From what I can see, I'm still quite unhittable in combat, except when something's totally out of my league, and now at least I'm hitting for slightly more. Would appreciate someone to do the math for me on this though
Thoughts?
