I've rolled a Broadsword Superreflexes scrapper and am beginning to like him more and more cause he outperforms other scrappers and doesn't faceplant a lot.
In the lower lvls it will be a hard time but with SO's fully slotted he gets hit less and less. And with disembowl and head splitter you can keep most bosses lying on their backs.
I've put in Whirlwind as a panic button some croud control and against strong bosses, in which case you should take out minions and lts then turn on WW, floor the boss and take him down slowly with your toggles dropped.
I don't use slice anymore because I work best against single targets.
My attack chain with hasten on is: Parry-Disembowl-Parry-Head Splitter, repeat. With hasten off, I have to throw in some hacks.
I manage to keep up praticed browler all the time.
The reason BS/SR shines is because of parry and the law of accelerated returns.
Some people say you don't need the passives, I say you do, with passive and toggle on slotted with SO def enhs you should get a defense of Roughly 27,5%. An even lvl minion would hit you about half as much compared with no defense(50-27,5=22.5%)
Then comes parry, giving you another 30% of defense. Yeah, This would cap your defense for this foe and he will hit you ten times less compared to no defensee(50%-27,5-30 will give the minion a minimum of 5% tohit), pretty good huh? So even if 30% and 27.5% seem to give you comparable extra defense, the law of accelerated returns let's you see that the extra defense yields much more effect.
And this is also why BS/SR is very very strong. Parry might seem weak but the combined defenses make you near untouchable. This is also the reason slotting parry with 3 acc. because you really really want to hit.
I'm now thinking about a respec. This is because I'd like to put in Build Up somwhere. Only place I can think off is dumping Slice. BUT this would make me much less usefull when examped.
Please if someone has some notes, tell me.
This is a pure PvE build though, as you will be hit because of acc en tohit buffs of your opponents, negating your defenses. Also, you're not a tank. Because you need parry to hit, an alpha strike of a mob of foes can be deadly cause your defense is not up yet.
