Should I be slotting these for damage? I was playing my Dm/Sd today and noticed some pretty decent damage comming from what I thought were tool powers. I've been slotting them for acc and rech and calling it a day, but now it seems a little damage would be usefull. What do you guys think?

With combat jumping and hurdle, you should have no problem getting to your enemies.

Why does everyone hate CAK? its one of the best DPA attacks in the set, and it looks deadly.

I would put the stealth IO in combat jumping. That way you don't have to have the end drain of sprint. The problem there is that it will turn off when you super jump.

Well, on the secondary, I like sr. It doesn't have a psi hole like invuln, and is very easy to softcap. Mine is level 28 and near softcap off just SOs and weave.

As for MA, nothing really makes it special to me. I'm thinking of rerolling my MA/SR as a Claws.

On my kat/regen, I rarely need the click heals under challenge level 4. Do you have fast healing, integration, and health 3 slotted for health?

I don't know what it is. I just am not enjoying any /SD scrappers.
I rolled 3 /SD scrappers, a MA, FM, and most recently a DM, but I just can't get into the set.
The MA is sitting at level 10, and hasn't been touched in over 100 days, the FM/ is deleted, and the DM/ is sitting at 9 and I can't decide if I should keep him or just roll a shiny new DM/WP scrapper.

What am I missing? Is it more fun in the late game?

Actually no, you're not alone.

I felt this way for quite awhile. I rolled my Saint October right when /SD launches and, while I liked the cosmetics of the set, I couldn't get into it either. That character stalled hard at level 40. It wasn't until the last X2 XP weekend that I managed to get him to 50. Once I started kitting him out things got more exciting, now he's one of my most favorite characters.

I don't really have an explanation for it. I guess just having another defensive based toon wasn't very fun for me until he could really go out and excel.

Actually, maybe I do have an explanation. When he reached 50 I also hit upon a costume I liked and a new name and theme. I changed everything about him visually. Concept goes a long way with me. Perhaps that coupled with his badassery was what changed my mind.

The same thing happened with me. I got an acendant shield, and went to the tailor. I ended up getting a whole new costume and theme that increased my fun quite a bit.

On my spines regen, I did not take the fighting pool. I prefer to have the extra AoE cone with knockdown from the body mastery APP.

Uh, what is Arcanatime?

I can't wait to bring my Elec/Regen Scrapper into PvP. Might even strip my purped out the wazoo Fire/Regen to put him there.

Why? So you can get wtfpwned every time you turn around? The melee AT version of ElM is horrific for ST damage, just about the worst there is. No burst, no ST chain, no nothing. It's average in AoE, so if you really like the set you can make a passable farmer with it, but forget AVs and don't even think about trying to kill other players with it.

You're over exaggerating a bit. It's better than Spines, and people supposedly have fun with that.

In old pvp, spines was really fun. It never felt underpowered to me.

Hopefully Conserve Power will be replaced with some sort of heal/regen/+health.

I'm interested to see how 2 conserve powers will stack. will we get 100% end discount or 75%

GM's ? Not likely. AV's? well you got the secondaries down, now pick your primary.

I couldn't find the thread, but there was a guy w/ a db/inv. build that solo'd a couple of gm's

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh wow, I'd love to see a video of that.

Anyways, the current FOTM AV soloer is DM/SD.

Your scrappers look amazing. What costume packs do you have?

I like my SD/SS tank so far. I did see a SD tank repeatdly get dropped by LR in STF even with its def stacked with ice armor. Made taking the towers a pain. They may have to *cough* take tough and weave to survive such a task. Then again, I don't how the tank or the ice defender were slotted. I did see a soft cap SD/SS tank take on mobs in the supa dupa troll AE arc and pretty much did not get touched. That's not a farm. Just a real hard arc. Seeing that gave me something to look forward to on my tank.

Its probably just slotting. last time I did an stf, our stone tanker got floored many many times. We ended up using a buffed sr scrap for our alpha soaker.

I find that regen is very awesome at level 40. A friend and I were going through the nem story arc at level 39. I was on my ket/regen, and he was on his bs/sd. We also had a claws/sr with us. Every time the nem hit vengeance, both of the other scrappers were toast. I was fine though.

I would like to see a dark meele/shield defense scrapper that has enough AE capability to be a reasonably good farmer. Soft capped defense and sustainable endurance. No limits on any IOs, build me a dream build

I don't think dm has enough AoE to be able to farm quickly.

You probably don't have any enemies in range for invincibility.

For some reason, I thought the envoy was supposed to be pretty easy. hmm

Ahh. That explains the crazy damage.

I was running through story arcs, and came across Envoy of shadows, so I figured I'd try to solo it(lol).
Even when I was softcapped by MoG or purple insps, he was still out-damaging my regen. And he was out-regening my damage.
My attack chain was Golden Dragonfly>Gambler's Cut>Soaring Dragon>Gambler's Cut>Flashing Steel>Gambler's Cut. Can I get some advice on where I messed up? Also, heres a video: Video

When fighting DE, regen sucks. Those swarms will majorly debuff recharge.

I've made a claws/wp scrapper and I really like her, but I don't have any idea on which powers are skippable and which ones are epic. So I was just wondering if anyone can give me a basic rundown.

Werner, could you post your katana/regen build? I'm really interested in what sets you went for and what bonuses are good.

It seems to me, that you'd want to put chance for damage procs into the powers that you will be spamming a lot, like soaring dragon, golden dragonfly, slash, and gamblers cut. Is this wrong?
