Any /Willpower guides? For anything, Scraps or Tanks.
My search fu is weak, couple that with the inherent weaksauceness of the search function and you have no-joy.

There's a SS/WP Brute guide that you might be able to transfer over.

*shrug*


Seven years of heroism. Seven years of friendships. Seven years of saving the world. Seven years of virtuous selflessness.

You will return, for you are the mighty City of Paragon, the City of Heroes.

In a nutshell? You want all the powers, with the self-rez being optional. Tough/Weave/CJ/Health/Stamina help a great deal, but aren't necessary. I'd skip Aid Self, personally.

Slotwise I would at the very least (For SOs, IOs are another story I don't feel like getting into in a short review):

Five slot HPT (three heals, two res).
Three/Four slot Mind Over Body.
Three slot Fast Healing.
Eventually three/four slot In. Will (Depends on if you want to boost the base psi def or not).
Four-Five slot RttC (I liked five slots with three heals, one endred, and one taunt, but then I was playing a tank).
Three slot Quick Recovery.
Three/Four slot Heightened Senses.
Three slot Strength of Will.

There's nothing really tricky about the set. Slot the three armor toggles as you would any other armor toggle. Max out the regen gain of RttC and Fast Healing by raising your health total with HPT. RttC is pretty straight forward, though I would skip slotting in tohit debuffs, as the returns suck.

I've found I can easily fit in Swift/Health/Stamina (which I would strongly recommend, more blue is power), Boxing/Tough/Weave and a travel power if you plan your build out ahead of time.

Of course, you might want to lose B/T/W if you want to dip into the APP. While B/T/W help a lot, SoW offers about the same mitigation value.

Not a guide, persay, but suggestions I hope help.

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!

Oddly enough, if you go back a page or so to the big list of guides, there's one for Spines/SR.

To change it for PvP, just replace SR with Regen or something.

yea if you're trying to PvP with SR, you're doing it wrong

My former i7 Claws/SR guide has been updated for i11:

i11 claws/sr guide

and boy is it long.


 

Posted

Anyone made a Fire Scrapper yet? and have a guide that I could add into the list?


 

Posted

I think I should write a Broadsword/Super Reflexes guide, there doesn't seem to be a recent one there. I'll get info from more experienced players too though.

first guide i wrote.

How is that a guide? Its just a posted build. No advice on why to took what you took. Same for slotting. Need s a lot more work.

[/ QUOTE ]

copy and paste the code into mids hero builder, the lastest v. 1.4 .the attacks are maxed out for the most amount of dmg, acc, end redux, and rechrge. its called frakenslotting your powers to get the most out of your powers instead of being concerned with set bonus's. DM/SR is a very tight build. without the end redux for DM, i would have had to gotten stamina, taking hurdle/swift, and health (not as useful since for SR, the point is you are not gonna be hit as often). so basically i would have to take out 3 of my powers just to get stamina. without the recharge, there would be no way to build a buzzsaw attack (fast hitting attacks w/no downtime). whats not to understand?
