Gonna have to wait for Umbral on this...

Can this combo solo AVs reasonably?
If yes...can this be done without Hasten in the build?
[/ QUOTE ]
To answer the first question, yes. To answer the second question, most likely, but it will take longer and have a lower likelihood of success because */regen just loves +recharge.

Yeah I figured about that Hasten.
I'm just wondering about losing too much offense to get your defense up high enough.
I wouldn't be too worried about the offense. Smite -> Shadow Punch -> Midnight Grasp -> Smite -> Shadow Punch -> Siphon life isn't THAT far behind the top chain, and gets by with only +128% recharge. The problem is survivability. I suspect that you'll lose more survivability giving up recharge than you'll gain picking up defense, but it's hard to know without trying it out and running the numbers.

Yo. I been soloing AVs without temps and insps since I1 dawg and I still do it with some regularity. Last week actually, a painfully poorly built Claws/Regen requested my help killing Ghost Widow. He died in the first couple of seconds and I then proceeded to solo her face off (learning to time MoG for when she's about to do Soul Storm was most profitable). While I wasn't technically solo, the other scrapper just sat there dead and watched me for the entire fight, so I feel comfortable counting it as a solo.

Hello. There are others out there. Trust me. 
Well.... just so happens that I have a 50 DM/Regen and would strongly consider IOing out if I see a nice build to base him off of.
50's: Heroes: Ozmeth DB/WP; Black Decker DM/Regen; Shado-Strike DM/SR Scrapper (13 AV soloed); Desert-Shock Claws/Elec Scrapper; Shado-Shriek Dark/Son Def
Villains: Bokken Nin/Nin
Current project(s):
my main is a DM/Regen , and i've solo'd a large majority of the AV's in the game ... all no temp's (cept maybe the occasional SafeGuard or buff station) and most no insp's (certain ones require it with them bubbleing or self healing on a certain time cycle when they get so low) ... the only types i haven't heard of soloing AV's are Spines/*

And lo, Umbral came down from on high (the Cimeroran Wall is pretty high up there, right?) and saw that his fellows needed guidance, so he grabbed his build and gave it to 'em.
Chock full of damage (MG>Smite>Siphon>Smite plus decent AoE in Shadow Maul, DC, and SD), defense (33.5% melee defense anyone?), and boatloads of recharge (cuz everyone wants to be able to use Reconstruction more than 3 times a minute, right?).

Well I love Dark Melee and I love to solo AVs...it's what keeps me playing this game.
I have a DM/WP and DM/SR all IO'd out for soloing AVs.
I have a DM/Regen sitting at level 37...I have fun with regen because it's a different playstyle from WP and SR as most of you already know.
I need a new project to keep my interest up and I want to IO out another Scrapper to solo AVs.
Dark Melee will always be the primary as I do not care to play anything else.
I want to hold off on making a DM/Shield because the combo does not seem fun to me...I mean I min/max my scrappers but I still keep the concept behind the character.
Since I already have the DM/Regen at level 37 I'm wondering if it will be worth it to give it the IO treatment.
Can this combo solo AVs reasonably?
If yes...can this be done without Hasten in the build?
