Bump for a little more help please. =)

Still haven't decided.

Dear Fury,

I hope I wouldn't be asking to much of you to make a very expensive Fire/Shield build considering I always play with a Kinetic? Recovery is not an issue with Speed Boost and Transference. Also I can 100% rely on being at capped damage, so things like assault aren't needed as well. I have been messing around with mids, trying to take this into consideration, but I think you would do a much better job.

If recovery is really not needed at all, what do you think I should put all that influence towards? Recharge? The wonder that Kinetic is is keeping my wallet full, but it needs to be emptied! In an intelligent way of course. =)

Thanks so much Fury.

Hello Fellow Scrappers,

I just had a few quick questions regarding which alpha slot I should choose. I am familiar with all of them, but my situation is just slightly different than most.

When I play CoH I always log on with my bro, who plays a Earth/Kin. So I can rely on /Kinetic for end, and fulcrum shift. Ive built my Scrapper assuming I will have these benefits (less endurance reduction etc.).

I was trying to decide between Musculature or Spiritual. I know most people without SB might say spiritual hands down, but with 100% reliance on a Kinetic opens up some options for other possibilities. Right now, with Speed Boost I have 168% recharge. My scrapper is Fire/Shield, and by adding the Spiritual Alpha set, the over all reduction in time is negligible. However, It does add up. I believe my fire sword circle drops from 5.7 second recharge to 5.1 seconds.

I am constantly damage capped at 400% due to fulcrum shift, so the only advantage of going Musculature would be to add damage to the Judgement nuke, which is not a bad idea in it of itself.

Just to clarify, would the musculature alpha increase base damage of all attacks in any way? If I am constantly capped at 400% damage, will Musculature do anything for me at all, other than buffing the Judgement nukes?

What do you think? Do I go Musculature just to buff the nuke? (Assuming I have no problem being damage capped, which I don't) Or do I go with spiritual and get .6 faster Fire Sword Circles, and 4 second faster Shield Smash?

Thanks so much for the help guys. Hopefully my question is clear, just trying to lay all my ideas down before getting to work.
