Switch your Impervious Skin for the 4 rez impervium armors. Gives you +recovery and +max end. Both useful to keep you going longer.

But as Nightmarer said, fire/da.
But then we are both /da fans... (3rd /da almost to 50 here)

Try elec/fire for extreme low level AoE's.

Oh and make sure you have wakies or an empath handy.

I guess you could try the BS/Regen and run tictacs, focc acc and the +perception IO. But I have a feeling you would still not see a well built/slotted one until he was giving you a slap with the pompoms of doom.

I had a half thought about AR/Fire just for the number or AoEs/aura's.

Although there may be a little bit of mob scatter...

Nova,
Nova,
Dark Regen
Nova,
Dark Regen,
Nova,
Head Splitter.

I would go for the /DA option. The soft control of OG helps no end.

As for the endurance issue:
Early on, be selective about the toggles and slot them with endredux rather than +rez

Well slotted @lvl 50 my blue bar hardly ever moves, the only time it drops a bit is against end drainers. But as you can get 120 base end and 200% recovery without too many problems it soon fills up again.

You can prove anything wih facts and accurate figures, but I still prefer scrapping to bruting. So nyer

^This.

I bought the game City of Heroes when it came out to play a Hero. Hence I'd even rather play an empath than any class in CoV (all they need to do is port en mele over..... But thats another debate entirely.

As for the damage thing, on my lvl50 BS/DA I've never found an issue with two shotting +2mins. Whirling sword then Dis or HS.

But if you really want to kick out major damage and then faceplant, you want a blaster

fixed

My advise would be to drop medicine pool and take the fighting pool. With decent sensible slotting you can get up to ~ 55% S/L rez, tough contributing 18%.

It helps a lot in the high levels and big teams.
Plus you have the best self heal in the game.

Remember, your a scrapper. look after no1, team mates are there to raise mob sizes and keep out of your way

It doesn't seem to cop up in builds that often, making me think it's cheap for a reason.....

I would enter, but no way am I registering on the sun website....

I'd go scrapper for spines and BroadSword.

Spines for mass pokey pokey (ooo matron)

BS for swinging a big lump of steel with a weird starey eye (rularuu BS) and hacking stuff up.

Nothing epitomises scrappers more to me than the head splitter. A propper boom headshot moment.

-Revamp Epic hero AT's to match the coolness of VEATS

yes to this as well. Being a second rate blaster/tank/scrapper is kind of anoying.

As to the pvp things. If you wanted full free zonal pvp it would have to be along the eve lines. with much more active npc policing and full safe zones with no pvp. Maybe even a goodness/evilness scale so heroes could enter villan zones if they hand done alot of stuff against arachnos and villans could enter some hero sones aslong as they hand't done too many bank jobs or taken out too many longbow.

Difficult to impliment, but would be a nice CoX2 feature. It works well in eve.

hmmmmm.

I like a whole telekinetic set with a teir9 power which basically turns people into a pile of dust.

Oh and propper brawling mele set.

Got a bit silly with PI3 appearing on a few ocasions.

Got a blaster from 40 to almost 47, my troller from 35 - 42 and raked in about 120mil inf and well over 100k prestige on my scrapper.

I am working on a DM/SR only to lvl 23 atm. It's good, but I've found it quite easy to get in way over your head and not have dark regen to bail you out.

Or the south end of IP on the road up from Brickstown gate.

View the link in my sig for my thoughts on Dark Armor.
I have @50 both a DM/DA and a BS/DA. I can't compaire them equally as the DM/DA is slotted as per the final post in that link (with what must be closing in on 1bil inf worth of stuff) Where as the BS/DA hasn't had a lvl 50 respec yet, so is still full of IOs from lvl 25+.

I would say that the BS/DA can easily out dmg the DM/DA when it comes to a pure 1 or 2 shot combo. How ever the DM/DA can put out a much more consistant stream of dmg and has some useful control type powers.

What I would say on the getting to 20 side is that this is the harest it for the /DA scrapper. I try to run as few of the toggles as possible and never run death shroud until the mid-20s at the earliest. I normally slot them with endredux only until you hit SOEs or 1/2 decent IOs.

If your on Onion server I'm happy to chat in game about this.

@Dagar or @Larac

too many choices...
Maybe I'll have a 4th attempt and making a dark defender.

I'll pop along for a few Rocky.

The SNHS can welcome you all if you want to make use of a fully functioning base (when I pay the rent).

The i4 team syn was teh ubba. Not sure we can reach those heights again, but it could be fun.

Oh and you want lots of dark/ I know you do

as I said on tother forums, happy cake day okty

But Titanium gives ya more HP and imo more HP > more end

[/ QUOTE ]
More HP is good, but I can take on the 6 man farming spawns on my DM/DA/BM scrapper with no real issues and the ocasional dark regen. The tank will already have more than my 1750HP and more +max end with high recovery means less downtime.

Also maybe consider getting Absolute Amazement x5 for OG, it's quite a cheap purple set. The extra fire/cold rez and other bonus are worth it.

[ QUOTE ]
slot 2x imp armor and 3x Titanium on ur res shields, youll want the extra recov

[/ QUOTE ]

I prefer the 4x imp armor for +recovery and +max end and then a KB IO to save acrobatics.

Precip - SL42 - storm/elec/dark

white wraith - SL29 dark/dark - Delelted
Ioreth - SL17 storm/archery - Deleted
Darkest Dagar - SL17 dark/dark - Delelted

So far I have never enjoyed villans in 38mths.
Never completed CoP and never completed MoSTF (in 4 attempts).
Only other thing I have not done is all hte imvention badges as I am still anoyed by the fact that you have to PAY to get badges.
