    Here is a Fire/Shield build that I came up with a while ago when I first heard about the BoTZ nerf for my possible venture to Freedom.

    I'm not sure why anyone would shelve theirs but I'm certainly not happy.

    And Castle still hasn't explained why he "fixed" these inventions verses the placate proc which is really broken and has been really broken for a longer time. Priorities my friend, get them right!

    I do, I tried doing an RWZ challenge on Test using my non soft capped build and boy did I get worked. I was 45% to melee and 41 to both range and aoe and it was almost comical how many times I died compared to being at the soft cap.

    Mourn my fellow scrappers, I17 is now live and we are one step closer to getting beat with a nerf bat.


  9. Santorican
    How hard did your Fire/Shield get hit? Post up your build and maybe I can help. My Dark/Shield got hit in a few places but I have him back up to about 90% where he was before the nerf.

    Also there aren't going to be many combinations that will be able to pump out the amount of damage and have the same survivability that a fire/shield will does. The one that comes to mind is Claws/SR, Katana/SR, and Katana/Regen. Katana/Regen has the highest peak survivability out of all of those but if you're not on top of it you will face plant.
  10. Santorican
    Here is what I'd do with the second one. I actually like the idea of s/l on a regen, I might do that with my fire/regen.

    Went Worths is cross server so you're buying items from ever server. I'd just take the last 5 price, average out the price and then bid at that average. Its generally a safe way to get what you want at a good price.

    IF I did decide to pick up Soul Drain for the build, what should I trade out for it. How much if a difference would I see with having Soul Drain added to the build? Besides damage output what would be the reasons on adding it over character concept?
    Well you could probably drop Maneuvers but you'd have to do some slot shuffling around but its possible to keep your soft cap and have Soul Drain.[/quote]

    I'm not sure which rolls you get Touch of Death in, I know that some are in Bronze Rolls, also its a luck of the draw with the Steadfast unique. In the mean time though you can always sell the recipes you get from your bronze rolls that you do not need at Went Worths!

Then the MA mostly focused on kicks and was not a fan of that. Of course now we can change some of the animations..

    So slot Maneuvers no more than 3 times I would guess? Again forgive me for not knowing the names for everything. Is Steadfast Protection another IO set? as well as Gaussian Synchronized Fire Control. Cash wise I'm flat out broke, so it would take a while to buy anything beyond Orange recipes. Purples and PvP stuff is definitely out for me.

    Edited my build just a hair. Still far off on melee defense cap. =( but got a little closer with range defense.
    Alrighty I did the best I could with your build but just so you know without Soul Drain, and Midnight grasp you're going to be severely lacking in damage output in comparison to other Dark wielding scrappers.

    A lot of your powers were over slotted, specifically Phalanx Fighting it grants you a base defense bonus of 3.75% to all positions so no matter how many defense boosting enhancements you put in there that number won't change.

    I'd put the defense cap as your priority and make every other bonus secondary.

    I had to swap in Mako's Bite into Siphon Life

    True Grit works better when slotted for +hp rather than +resistance.

    I removed a few slots from your attacks specifically from Shield Charge and Shadow Maul because they were over slotted and that 7% Psionic Defense isn't going to help you much.

    Right now you're sitting at the soft cap, if there were one thing that I'd really change concept for, and I am a respecter of concept builds, is to try and fit Soul Drain into your concept it will really really help you out.

    Enjoy

    I'm not sure what you mean by stats blocks, like what your total def, regen, recov, etc... is?

    You should post up your build so I can go to town!
  21. Santorican
    I actually haven't had the slots to do that but if you slots to spare I would! 12 percent increase in heal to Siphon life sounds nice.
  22. Santorican
    Gaiden that first one looks good, you probably won't be able to tell a 25% regeneration decrease. The increase to endurance consumption out weighs the increase to regeneration. I'd rather have more recharge to keep the recharge down on Hasten which in turns keeps you pumping out more damage than have more passive regen.
  23. Santorican
    How much are you saving up for your build?

    That is what most of use are talking about, using Pistols in melee range. So S/L would be preferred for that due to have 2 PBAoE attacks and a +regen/recov.

    Ps. i like sl as a heal, so in long fight against av's and pylons etc you still can keep your hp up.
    With enough global recharge bonuses you can slot SL with 3 Nucleous and Gogoli Exposure for 95% enhancement to acc, dmg, end, and heal. Right now my SL heals for about 19% of my hp.
