Mr_Cowbell

I appreciate the time everyone took to look at my build. I am gonna take a good look at it and see what I can come up with. Once again, thank you to everyone that replied and offered feedback.

Thank you for your feedback. I was really watching the the endurance which is why I slotted those Armors the way I did. Previous builds had me unning out of endurance too frequently. I'll look closely at your build and see what I can learn to use in mine. Once again all thank you very much for all your advice, it means alot.

Many thanks! I will look in these asasp and reply. Once again many thanks!

Thank you! These do look very similar to my first attempts where I focused on recharge first. I am currently, with little success, working on getting more defense into build without sacrificing alot.

I found a way, but it'll cost me an additional 500 million, which atm I do not have ......ie....pvp IO.
But I am looking into making some changes myself and your help would be greatly appreciated!

Champion Server Thor?

Yes it is.

1. Open Mids
2. Options
3. Advanced
4. Datbase Editor
5. Main Database Editor
6. Scrapper Defense
7. Shields
8. Phalanxe Fighting
9. Change the minimum allies

Thought I would post my current build for critiques. I have been running it for sometime and am pleased with all but defense. I was hoping someone could shed some light on increasing his survivability without too much sacrifice.

Well, I just figured it out and learned something today. I have been using mids for ages and apparently not to it's full potential or even close. I found how to edit Phalanx Fighting to give an accurate number while soloing. I have a feeling there's much more to learn.

ty

Now that I think about it, I thought I saw a post a while back that mentioned how to edit Mids so that Phalanx Fighting would report it's stat's with "0" allies in range? Is that true or am I thinking of something else?

Thank you for the reply. UGH, so I thought I was close to softcap solo, I guess I have more work to do. I appreciate the quick reply.

Hello all in scrapperland. First let me start by saying I am a 39 month vet that has spent the majority of my time with Controllers and Doms and anything else AOE. Which recently brought me to fill a scrapper void in my Character Slots and then I found Spines Dark. Yikes, I am now hooked! The past several months I have been frequenting the Scrapper forums reading and soaking in knowledge from the likes of Werner,Powerforge,Billzbubba Desmodo and countless others. This new found interest in scrappers brought me to my latest build a DM/Shield(cough*cough Future AV Killing hopefully). He's at 50 and gobbs of IO's on him and I thought I was complete until I checked combat attributes.I have a discrepency between Mids and CA of around 2.6% Melee,Ranged and AOE, at that I cannot figure out. So I posted my build with the hopes of some investigation from the Scrapper gurus. I am sure it is something simple but it has escaped me. Btw, this build should look familiar as it is a collaboration of everyones efforts. Here,s the discrepency:
Mids has me at
Melee - 46.2,
Ranged - 46.1 and
AoE - 45.4.
When I check combat attributes I am at
Melee - 43.68,
Ranged - 43.45 and
AoE - 42.82
