Atm i have a lvl 7 scrapper claw/dark armor, and i wonder if anyone here maybe have som tips for me? so i can get the most out of my character.
What skills should i get and use? which powerpool skill is the best?
Right now i'am going for the fly powerpool skill, but maybe i should try something else?

So if you like to help, come with it =)

1: Get your shields up!
2: Get your shields SLOTTED! At least 2 slots in each (Dark Embrace should get alot of loving) at 24 I have 5 slots in DE and 2 in the other two shields. As with the new changes to Enhancements, it's only worth putting 3 Enhancements in to increase the damage absorbtion. But adding end reduction is a very good idea as well, because at 24, I have 3 shields and my stealth going at once...

Also, get into the Fitness pool, as you have no real regen powers. Stamina at 20 will be VERY important for you... trust me... and get at least 2 slots into that one as well.

Hope that helps you

Drop Fly. Get Leaping, because you NEED Acrobatics.

Thanks for the advices so far =)
So jump is the best for me? what about speed?
and the thing about the fitness powerpool, is it something you really need?

I'am very new, started playing for not long ago, so i don't know much yet, so please just keep comming with tips =)

I'd still take Stamina, just dont put anymore than three slots in it. Hastes still very useful, despite being unpermable, but Super Jump should be the only travel power you need.

Regarding travel power, it's a matter of what you like...

I've got Teleport and it's great! Mostly I'm faster than everyone else, and you help your team with Recall Friend..

Don't get me wrong, super speed is great too, but not my kind of thing. But up to you what you like

Make us scrappers proud!

Surely Flight pool offers the only real alternative, as Hover is also nice cheap Knockback protection? Works nicely for my flyimg DA scrapper.

You need slots for Hover to make it effective, and slots arent something you tend to have a lot of in a /DA build. If you can get it working, go with it, but I can think of much better slotting investments.

Here i have just putted together something with the Character builder, is this any good? Now that i can see that i can get all skills from both primary and secondary, that cool i think ^^
But what is this special skill ppl are talking about? is this the ancillary pool? if yes, which skills should i remove and get some special skills instead? and a other thing is, the slotting, i really need help there, i've just putted slots here and there as you can see, so some help would be nice ^^

No? I have acrobatics, and I have turned it on exactly twice. My 4pt kb defense IO is more than sufficient with my over-softcap ranged/melee. KB on trials is trivial. I was expecting it to be much worse, but really, I get knocked down maybe once every 3 mishs. This may be because of my very high defense. YMMV.

edit: Oh crap, sorry for responding to a necropost. Point still stands.

The point made about needing Acrobatics was entirely valid at the time it was made. The post was from 2005, there were no such thing as KB protection IOs then. You either took Acrobatics or got to be a pinball.

This zombie shall soon be returned to its grave, just wanted to chime in on that point.
