Broad Sword/Super Reflexes. Take Parry while leveling to smooth out the ride. Drop it once all your defenses are at 45% without it. Hack is better than Slash. Take everything from your secondary but Elude, and if it's your first time with Super Reflexes, you might want to take Elude just to see if you like it. Fitness (Hurdle, Health, Stamina), Leaping (Combat Jumping), Fighting (Boxing as a wasted pick, Tough, Weave) and probably Speed (Hasten), but consider Leadership (Maneuvers, Tactics). If you buy no other IOs, pick up a Steadfast Protection unique and a Kismet unique while you level.

Hm mostly what I did. (Ok. I have not taken parry at the first possibility.)
You think Fitness is still necessary ?
It will soon be inherent I hear.
I might be able to tough it out until then....

They'll almost certainly hand out a free respec with I19. I wouldn't want to suffer with no Stamina until then.

Found this in someones sig once, though I had already closed the forums by the time I got around to reading it, so I'm not sure who wrote it.

Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?

Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?

This thread is for posting Guide or FAQ links for Scrappers. Please create your guides in the "Player Guides" forum (since posts in that section do not roll off) and link the thread here. Also, do not post your guide in this thread - only the link to your guide. Here are a few to get you started from the Guide to Guides.

Failing any clear identifier from the poster, I will go by the original post date vs. Issue releases (I1: 6/30/04, I2: 9/17/04, I3: 1/5/05, I4: 5/5/05, I5: 9/1/05, I6: 10/28/05) - e.g., if it was posted in March/05, it is an I3 Guide.

Guides appearing here were gleaned from links posted in one of the "Guide to Guides" threads (the Scrapper GtG or the GtG threads in the "Player Guides" forum). I cannot sift through the hundreds of individual threads to find a posting, so be sure to 1) place your guide in the "Player Guides" forum, nowhere else and 2) post a link to it in a "Guide to Guides" thread!

This guide now has the most relevant information near the top and everything that was posted before I9 (May 1, 2007) is now down at the bottom. There is still some good stuff there, but just know that it is older information.Scrapper

I found three Electric Armor guides for Brutes just by doing a quick Google search. I feel that Brutes and Scrappers would play pretty similarly from a defensive standpoint, but just keep in mind that these guides are not necessarily geared towards Scrappers, and might have suggestions for building Fury, which is a moot point for Scrappers.

Been gone a long time and since coming back, my level 45 BS/SD scrapper dies A LOT. Didn't use too. Need some advice for my defensive slotting and Power Pool picks, so an updated guide would be heavenly. Thanks!
