Thanks for the replies. The reason I am aiming for soft cap is because of my past experiences running with it on my Ele/SD/fire scrapper. I really enjoy it but was trying to find something a little different. I would figure with a ton of guys around me for 10 minutes anything but soft cap and I will be face planting.

Wow, lots of stuff here. I would guess my only other question would be, is there another secondary that has a ease of getting base soft cap defenses(without the use of purples or the primary set) without totally gimping a build w/ recharge etc? I know I would be giving up SC. But something like SR maybe? Thanks again.

Gaidin,

Any chance I could see your ele/sd scrapper build?

Thanks for the replies. There are some AE's that I can just be surrounded by enemies. Definitly not bosses but a full mix. My ele/sd is soft capped in all 3, 1.7 sec off perma hasten and has enough recoverythat unless I am on a full team with no stop in some AE's I have very few problems with end(running with fire mastery). I was really just looking for a nice change of pace from him but when help people out with xp and tickets they face plant within seconds of entering. Even some lvl 50's with some IO's but I so not know there builds. Even with soft cap defense and some blows sitll get through. I guess that is the nice thing about dark though and having that heal up all the time?

Thanks. Is it possible to get soft cap if you know with dark as a secondary?

There are some AE missions that I love running that you can herd a ton of mobs all around you and then go to town. I currently have an IO'd Ele/SD scrapper that is a blast but I wanted to try out something new. I have my current scrapper soft capped in positionals and I would like to have the same, or possibly s/l instead. I was trying to stay out of shield as a secondary if possible but would still go that route if need be. I liked the idea of a spines/fire but I have no way of having decent def it seems on one of those. Would a spins/??? be any good for this type? I am definitly looking to IO out the build with a medium price range of 1-2 bill or so.

Thanks for the reply. I will work around some mroe and see what I can do. I originally thought the + chance at heal proc would be nice but it fires so infrequently and doesnt heal worth a damn that it really is not worth it. I just liked the + to rech.

Force feedback is somewhere around a 20% chance to fire every time I hit thunderstrike, or is it a 20% chance to fire off every target thunderstrike hits?

Any ideas where or how? One of the things I wanted to keep were the LoTG's for later in life w/ purples for other things but I have not been able to find anything with this high recharge. I ran builds w/ chain induction still instead of fire blast but I could not get the recharge that high w/o spending even more it seemed

So after tweaking some things I found a build I seem to be mostly happy with. I know my DDR is crud but I am mainly looking for ease w/ farming. I am looking for any way to squeek anything else out of this. I am looking for as close to perma hasten, soft cap and the remainder in recovery/regen that I can get. I am going to swap havoc IO's for the purple set and same with char and fire blast once I get enough inf but for now this seems to be ok. I definitly do not like the bonuses on entropic chaos but I can't find any other way to get the recharge until I have purples in those sets. Anyone have any any suggestions or ways to get more out of these while still having the high recharge and soft capp or damn close? I am looking to keep two st attacks along with fireball and TS.

Last edit: I am almost willing to see some of these builds with purples in them I just know I am still a little off on them. I have all the LOTG's and enough to finish the zephers but having ss almost seems like a waste to me. Anyways that is what I got so far and any help or advise would be greatly appreciated

wow...

I like that idea but it seems almost pointless to have any blasters on a team now as a ele/sd scrapper seems to put out equal if not higher dmg than any of my blasters ever could. I am not complaing as I finally have a farmer with my ele/sd but it still makes me sad.

Thanks for the replies

Thanks for the reply. Are there any mastery shields that add to the positionals instead of S/L?

And as for the other reply I still run through all the arcs but when I am trying to finish my builds and get some higher return inf rates, yes I farm. I think it is better than buying Inf online.

I slotted mine just like my other attacks with IO's on the dmg side(acc/dam/rech)

I have been playing with my ele/sd scrapper now for a long while and he is fully built but it seems so many people are now running scrappers. I was thinking of trying a fire/??/ice blaster and try to cap out ranged def and getting aoe pretty decent. I run the Rikti Recon AE mission for farming on Freedom a lot with my scrapper and it works fine but I am dyin to try something else. My worry is that I will still fall flat so fast. My scrap is soft capped in all positions. If I were to make a blaster to try this would anyone have any idea on a good secondary? MM maybe? I would plan on trying hover blasting as there are 100ish guys in the AE. If I can stay above them and force them to throw ranged atacks and I am soft capped on ranged and or close on AE, wouldn't that be pretty decent for a fire blaster strategy? I may be way off on this because maybe the guys just jump to try and reach me and hit me with melee there. I am just sick of the fotm builds now and feel like tryin something new. I also hear ice is good for trying to get the def high than some of the other mastery sets. Thanks for the input

Thanks

Is there a way to make Mid's calculate phalanx correctly? I am looking at builds and all of them don't seem capped but around 42 but I was told it was because of phalanx.

Am I missing something with the ranged def? I looked on my char and it is spot on what my mids is showing me of 45.7. not in the 48 range. I look on my char and it shows that also.

Thanks for the suggestion and build. I have another few hours to go at work and then will get a quick look and compare. I really like the use with your mastery. I can't pull up mids where I am at but I am looking to see how much more recovery and regen you got. Thanks again.

I agree on Willpower being a very good secondary. Once you get into quick recovery and RTTC life gets reall good on a willpower scrap. As far as primary, I went with dual blades but pretty much whatever looks fun to you. I liked the whole Neo/Matrix theme'd lookin guy and went with that. It was a blast. I could get through missions pretty quickly and it was fine with SO enhancements till I was ready to start looking at Invention Origin Enhancements. By then I was running +3/4-5 but before I was fine on the normal settings and had a blast on teams.

Thanks for the replies. The only reason I went with the kb protection was to get a bit more from the set since I couldn't think of anything else. Would it be to my advantage to drop Deflection down to just 3-4 slots? DDR means defense debuff resistance right? I see the Steadfast I will try and rework and build in a bit diff. I went with this build as I was aiming for one build I saw off here but then realized the price of it. I still pieced together most of the sets so wanted to use those until I completly reworked it. Most the fire ones I have seen are way out of my range with purples for now but I hope to change that. Any ideas on a way to get in Steadfast and knock down some ranged while maybe upping the recharge and or keeping nice recovery? The farms I am running in AE keep me going non-stop so end drain is somewhat of a concern. Right now I pop a blue every now and then but it is not to bad. I see taking out of true grit some and maybe going into char or blast. Thanks again

So here is what i came up with on my scrapper. I just finished most of it tonight but was thinking of grabbing a few purples later on and wanted some input. I have seen some nice templated but those were over 5 bill more than the 1.8 or so I spent on this guy.

Cool, ty!

I am working on the portal jockey accolade and was wondering if I kill av's as epic bosses does it still count towards credit?

I was going back to try and read what all was changed but i thought the dmg modifer for human form pb's was changed to .9 or something along those lines. Can anyone direct me to any info on it? Thanks
