I just started from a 5 year hiatus, I have only played a F/F Scrapper and a Katana/WP scrapper for any amount of time. F/F is no 33 and KT/WP is 16.

I have spent dozens of hours reading guides, and have tried about a dozen scrapper combination to at least level 6.

The most fun so far is F/F, but he is squishy and will die. KT/WP is 2nd best, and a lot more survivable but still kills things very quickly.

I will get both of these to lvl 50, one for farming, and the other when I need my survivability.

Elec/Elec is on par to F/F and dies about as much. In short if you want to die less, Take WP, Regen, Shield, or SR to die less.

I will say that any scrapper combination can be solo'd, in fact the way COH is designed now, any AT can solo. Some can do it better then others.

Thank you for the guide. I created a Katana/WP AT today. I saw there is a leveling build in this guide. But the slotting is missing. Can someone please post recommendations? Funds are of no issue. So I can go IO at 10 if it will make leveling easier.

I created a Katana/WP build and got it to lvl 5 so far. I really like it. WP definitely makes things easier.

Would a a DB/WP built be close to a Katana/WP? I like the idea of having deadpool

I read the Fire/Fire guide from JamoUp and used his leveling build. I really didnt like Fire Breath so for my 2nd build I didnt take it. I do have consume and have 3 slotted at 31.

I think for me dying is bigger issue then endurance But it sounds like Fire/Fire was not the best pick for a scrapper joining the game after not playing for over 5 years Thanks for the advice on Elec/Elec, it sounds like its more or less a similar build to my current fire/fire.

I have read a lot about Katana, so I will give it a try.

I couldn't find Elec/Elec Scrapper guide, but I found one for Brutes:

Would the build work the same way for scrappers?

On a side note, anyone know why the servers are down?

I'm searching for a Elec/Elec Scrapper build example, and I cannot find one. Found some post on Elec/Shield and few other Elec combination. What am I missing? Can someone share their build please.

Thanks for the replies. I don't mind grouping, I just rather not. I enjoy having my own pace, and I like doing the Hero Story Arc's, with a radio mission thrown in.

I did group for several levels, and the leveling is amazing I'll admit, I went from 28 to 30 in about 90 minutes, in a 8 person group.

Speaking of IO, at what level do most of you start buying sets. I'm about to make 32 with my F/F scrapper, should I convert from SO's to IO Sets? Influence is not an Issue, my friend who unfortunately looks like going to quit, has given me almost a billion influence. Not sure if that a lot for IO Sets, but from shopping the Auctions I think I can afford what I need.

I read most people talk about IO sets at level 50, does that mean you stick with SO's until then.

I haven't read much about Elec/Elec Scrapper, how is the Endurance management, is it as bad as Fire/Fire?

I came back to COH after a five year break. I played back in 2004 for about six months and then got bored and quit.

I restarted about two weeks ago. I have always been a fan of fast jump in the action and beat them up play style. So scrapper is a natural choice for me.

In the last two weeks I created two scrapper a BS/SR got him to level 12 and frankly got bored. The killing was too slow for my taste.

Second has been Fire/Fire scrapper and have got him up to level 31. But find him to get quite boring and even though I have health and stamina 3 slotted, I find that I run out of End and die quite often, even though I have not tweaked the difficulty level. I have read every F/F Scrapper guide I could find, and got him appropriately slotted with SO's.

I have read thousands of posts and got my hands on every guide I could find. I want to start a new Melee AT that I will Solo about 90%. I want to stay on COH side, since that's where my friend is, so Brute is out.

As a gamer, I'm definitely the kind of player that wants to feel powerful. I want the game to be fast paced with minimal downtime, and I have to be able to solo most of the time.

From what I have been reading I think the following ATs would fit the bill, all scrappers:

MA/Regen or MA/WP
DB/WP
Claws/WP

Could I please get some suggestions from the vets and level build ideas please. I definitely want to melee, I have never been a range or fan of support roles.

Thanks
