I6 Claws/Regen Build

After the wonderful ED changes were announced, I posted the following build on the Player Guides forum. Sadly, it was lost so here it is again in all it's diversified glory. I had about 10 to many slots which is always nice, so I was forced to 4-slot Hasten, slot Swift, put far too many heals in Dull Pain and slot Boxing, an attack I never use. Excellent!

01 : Brawl enhancement(01)
01 : Sprint enhancement(01)
02 : Rest enhancement(02)

If you can, slot Whirlwind. Its fantastic in PvP because it cancels out all your atack animations and means you can be permanently moving, making you harder to pin down in combat.

Course, thats not much good if PvP isn't your bag!

Yeah, if PvP ISN'T you bag then go Laser Beam Eyes/Conserve Power and get Energy Torrent.

Energy Torrent will compliment your Claws AoE very nicely. I love it to go with Throw Spines and Spine Burst on my Scrapper.

PvP isn't my cup of tea - at the moment anyway. We'll see what happens with CoV.

I considered getting Conserve Power but to be honest I'm not sure I'll need it - with 6-slotted Stamina and 6-slotted QR I could run my toggles without any EndReds and my end was fine. With the endurance discount, EndReds and Claws' low-end attacks I should still be fine. I've got Focus as a ranged attack so Laser Beam Eyes is pretty pointless.

Energy Torrent? Maybe, but (ignoring the fact I'd need another Epic Power to get it) I have a perfect chain in Strike, Focus, Strike, Eviscerate and I use Shockwave when opening fights and then whenever it is recharged - I honestly don't think I'd need it - remember Claws is less of an AoE fighter than Spines, most of my time is spent killing single targets.

Edit: Not entirely sure why there aren't any EndReds in Tough, take the slots out of Boxing and put them into Tough instead.

I have whirlwind for my speedster scrapper. An under-estimated pool power imo.

Despite the endurance drain it provides pretty good protection when even fighting +2lvl bosses (continuously tossed a lvl34 PP in the air whilst fellow team-mate subsequently slapped it about).

As for Pvp, it is very effective like The Question mentioned earlier in this thread. With the animation times for "Crippling Axe-Kick" and "Eagle's Claw", was able to keep moving at all times and effectively attack (albeit being buffed with RA ).

I thought they both had 1 AoE and 2 Cones?

(Spines: Spine Burst, Ripper and Throw Spines
Claws: Spin, Eviscerate and Shockwave)

And I love Laser Beam Eyes with my Spines even though I have Impale, they go very nicely together too.

I hate Spin, it sucks

You mean "Spines" dear?

Nope, Spin the Claws power.
