    I am a scrapper enthusiast, especially when it comes to dark armor. I have not yet however begun to enjoy Kin melee because I am working on two other lvl 50 scraps I enjoy playing a lot.

    As for dark armor though, I would suggest taking everything but the rez. (Take the rez if you have an extra power.) The biggest problem with /DA is endurance. One way to fix it is theft of essence chance for +end in Dark Regen. The other is pumping up your recovery using Physical P, stamina, numi/miracle uniques and set bonuses. My DA toon has 4.2 end/sec recov. and does fine.

    Kin melee does not have a +def. power like parry or divine avalanche so getting into some +def sets will also come in handy. Ideally you want high s/l and melee def. Kinetic Combats are an amazing set to do so but at a price.

    Finally if you can, get some global rech in there for Dark Regen.

    Again however, I am not too familiar with Kin Melee so idk how challengin this build could be but i expect it could be a pain in the neck

    Slotting Hot Feet

    POST-ACTION

    My fire/kin is un-arguably one of the best on Victory Server.

    That said. My hot feet is slotted as such:
    Obliteration Chance for smashing
    Armageddon chance for fire dmg
    Impeded Swiftness chance for smashing
    Eradication Chance for nrg dmg
    Scirocco's Chance for lethal dmg
    Scirocco's acc/dam/end

    This set up works great for me. I run tactics so acc. is not a problem. Perma hasten + transference makes endurance perfect. Dont forget FS cappin the base dmg. The proc's do much more dmg than the power itself and it is definately the best way to slot hot feet.

    I see two very wrong things with this. 1) Any scrapper will outdamage a fire tank in a heart beat. I dont care what the secondary is. 2) Katana puts up some amazing dps and is far from worthless w/o Divine Avalanche.

    As to the OP tho....I love that you are playing a "subpar build" and trying to make it a #1 contender. These are my favorite scrappers i got a 50 kat/DA and 34 dm/elec i am workin on. But my problem with this, What is more hp really going to do for you? Its nice having 2k HP but if the rech. on healing flames isnt there, then it doesnt matter. And i saw no global rech on the build. The toon can be fun, but it will get plenty of dirt naps cuz Divine Avalanche isnt quite that good.

    I am currently workin on a dm/elec scrapper. I have two IOd toons at 50 with elec melee and another at 50 with dark armor, my advise on this one is definately the dm/elec. I am lvl 31 right now (drooling for 32 MG) and aside some minor end issues I am kickin the crap out of everything. Dark and Elec Armor work extremely well together and I havent even gottan power sink yet.

    My elec melee toons are a joy I love them very much, the same with my dark armor scrapper, but the two sets together would be overbearingly end heavy and could cause for problems. Also, the keypoint of dark armor is to prevent your enemy from attacking and to massively heal when they do attack, while lightning rod kills all heal targets and renders Cloak of Fear and Oppressive Gloom nearly uselss.

    Here is a build i put together one night when the idea of dm/elec came into my mind. Its relatively pricey but i get the feeling it will be extremely effective, much more than an elec/da

    If anyone looks at this and finds room for improvement on def, or rech I will gladly take the advice. But some highlights on this build are the rech and defenses to all positions. 30% to all three on top of Electric's resistances with energize and siphon life will make it hard for anything to get by (cept maybe annoying things with -def).

    I hope this post has helped you choose which to make best of luck to you

    Ok I made a goofy build for fun ... Katana/dark armor and the toon is fun as hell and my goal with it was to solo AVs because I have heard katana does it so easily. But i finally got the damn thing IOd with purples and lotg 7.5s and its lookin sweet but... I got beat by chimera!!! wtf really chimera?? So my question to you is, what is the trick of soloing AVs with katana? damage proc's in attacks? achilles heel proc? I dont get it.

    My attack string I used was divine avalance, BU, golden butterfly, soaring dragon, gamblers cut. I am not sure how i went wrong with these.
