Old_Scratch

I guess keeping what I got will have to work, I tried to move a lot of slots around to keep the hit points near 1800 with more recharge, after getting beat down my Silver Mantis and Wretch all night the HP helps.

I have to say though, I don't miss Aid Self at all.

With Conserve Power the Hasten crash is nothing to worry about either.

Follow Up > Focus > Slash

What does it take recharge wise to get Focus to hit with that sweet triple Follow Up goodness?

I seem to hit 3XFU on Focus with my current build half of the time when the stars are aligning for me. If it doesn't take much more global recharge, I might be able to get there.

I'll post my current build for critique/advice.

My furious fur ball is my personal favorite too, I've always thought of it as Throwing a chainsaw into a pile of stuff animals.

I just recently got the Follow Up > Focus > Slash chain working for me. It's a lot of fun!

Spent a solid amount of Influence on IO's to make a Hasten-less build work only to flip flop and pretty much clone the build Powerforge posted awhile back. I ended up dropping Hasten and selling the Glad IO because I hated the Hasten crash.

I managed to do 9:33 on the Pylon and I had to Aid Self once. Posting the build below if you guys want to scope it out and toss me any feedback.

Old Scratch - 50 Claws / SR Scrapper

Claws/ SR for sure, It's like throwing a Chainsaw into a pile of stuffed animals.

Plus I've been teaming with a Rad Defender and ripping apart Giant Monsters non stop, so much fun.

All builds have a little give and take, I would have loved to get more slots into Flashing Steel and The Lotus Drops.

I think in the end I still have decent area damage without selling myself short on single target damage or defenses.

I am definitely not a Katana or Willpower expert by any means, but I am currently leveling one and this is my planned final build.

I went for higher Regen and Accuracy while stacking as much defense as I could.

That is sick man, I love it
Got my time down to 12:22.

The build is still unfinished, I finally broke down and went Hasten

Using the FU&gt;Slash&gt;Focus&gt;Slash&gt;FU&gt;Focus&gt;Sl ash&gt;Focus attack chain.

I think with practice and some luck I can get under 10 minutes with my current build, but 6:22 good god I'm impressed.

Shockwave saves lives. I can't even tell you how many times I have saved the Tank via Shockwave.

That being said Spin is one of the key powers for Claws in my opinion. I went 1-50 without it, had Eviscerate instead and wish I would have had Spin for the ride up.

Thanks man, I got my Pylon time down to 22:46 and I still have 30% more Recharge to obtain. I had a lot of trouble getting Nemesis through his bubble frenzy too, quite frustrating lol.

Just wanted to show you guys how ridiculous and amazing the Rularuu Claws are on the Huge model.

RAWR!
