    I am at work and a bit bored so I played with the build more. Trying to incorporate the experienced and educated suggestions I came up with this:

    Hopefully 38.4 melee, 30.9 range and 28 AOE defense is enough. On top of the other defense abilities which range from 31 (lethal and smashing) to 22 percent.

    I am only up in the air about the power slot at 47. I don't have any enhancement slots for it so I am just trying to figure out if I want caltrops or revive. I lost out on my group immobilize from darkness mastery so caltrops seems an ok replacement sorta with a slow IO. I'm not sure how well that works though. I also like being able to get back up though after I look like I am down.

    I have been debating if I should take the fitness pool. Being used to my tanker with 7 toggles, I would love to have more regen but the regen scrapper has much fewer toggles and I currently don't come close to being below 50% except when I am dead. I also don't find swift all that useful.

    I'll have to check into those enhancements you two are talking about. I never noticed them.

    Edit: So I tried the previously mentioned suggestions and got less than 1% increase in ranged defense and some AOE but melee dropped. In order to take the fitness pool, I had to drop leadership. It was either that or speed since fighting gives weave which has bigger defense bonus to everything and tough works with resilience to give a gentle 25% or so smashing and lethal resistance. So it essentially worked out to be the same in defense for me unless there are some other suggestions. Of course, my accuracy is through the roof with focus accuracy running. Mixing the existing suggestions, I got this. Import this datachunk to check it out. I'm loving the build more now.

    Any suggestions on whether I should drop Shadow Punch? I may be able to pick up the melee defense somewhere else with a more useful power.

    With the way you suggested slotting IH, does the 290s recharge on IH really do that much for you?
  4. Shadowraithe
    I was just wondering how well my build would stack up against AVs. This is really my first scrapper. I had a tank and controller before but I enjoy the damage a scrapper can do and the utility powers of dark melee appeal to me. I also dipped into the epic set to get some controller-like powers. I am not sure if it is worth taking tough from the fighting pool or if I should slot hasten more. I am just wondering if taking regen was a mistake instead of taking willpower.
