I've started playing again, as i said in my last thread.

So now the last day i've gone back and forth between making a new character(scrapper again of course) or continue on the character which i made a while back in 2005 when i first started playing.

So i've several times now tried to make a new character but i can't quite make one, because in someway i want to continue on my CL/DA Scrapper.

So i was thinking of asking here, how is a CL/DA in solo, groups(PvE)? and how is one in PvP?

The resone i want to make a new toon is because i've been thinking that there is almost non CL/DA out there and it "sucks" compared to other combination? that the thing bugging me, so i want someone out there that have experience with a CL/DA to tell me how one is in higher levls, in both pvp and pve...
So please, i really need some guidance...

Thanks in advance, and i appricate every answere i get.

I imagine this build to be a real endurance hog, so probably not fairing to well in PvP. I cant help you out for teams/solo as you have not shown us what power's youve taken. DA gives no resistance to things like KB/KD etc.. So probably not that good all around. Unless that is youve taken CJ and Acro? Might be worth looking into if you have not. Though it will cause you further endurnace hell.
Needless to ask you have stamina?
Though wait for some scrappers that know more about the sets before you /respec.

I would.

Try:

Katana-Regen <--- Samurai?

Martial Arts-Regen <--- MA is great in PvP, unsure whether Regen is any good however.

Katana-Super Reflex's <--- Could go for the ninja style?

Martial Arts-Super Reflex's <--- Speedster build very fun.

Hope these idea's give you a fun idea..

Thanks.

Yes I'am a fan of ninjas :P so katana/SR would be something cool, but i don't know how that works in PvE and PvP, and this time now i want to be sure that i make a toon that i really want to play on, want to be 110% sure that i will like the toon i make now, so this can take some time :/ just tried out controller and a blaster for a short period of time, but non of them are as fun as a scrapper, so i will defintly be a scrapper of some sort.

Claws/DA is pretty sweet, they kinda balance each other, Dark armour is an endurance hog while claws is the lightest on endurance compared to other primaries. IMO you should give it a try and see how you find it, claws has some wicked attacks namely focus that attack rules Assuming claws is getting a damage buff, i'll have to say that claws/da will be a great combo in issue 7, So give it a go, ask xironia the gimpy claws/da and the only level 50 one on defiant me thinks

Yup thanks for your answere, but i've allready decided to go for something else now, and i'am 100% sure of it, claws are cool but didn't like Dark Armor much, it was just getting me killed because of the AOE attack that you could turn on and off sometimes, and i was often drained for power.

So my old scrappers is deleted and i'am starting over again not sure what, but my Primary would either be Katana/Ma/Claws, secondary, i'am not sure yet, either Regen or SR i think.

Anyway don't need more answeres here now because i've made up my mind, but please feel free to anwere in my new thread :P(yea i know i've made to many thread allready :/)

God damned NTL

Claws/DA is fun, but so far at low lvls it is a bit trickier to play than my DM/Regen scrapper.

Both are great fun though

I appricate the help guys, but its no point anymore because i've given up on the CL/DA :P that char is deleted and i'am atm trying to find myself a new set of professions.

I'am also considering other classes.
Hate choosing, its so darn hard.

Well, we can still discuss the sets here

I have a claws/DA made and waiting to be played myself, with the potential upcoming DA buffs, AND the claws boost coming in I7 it could turn out to be very nice combo...


 

Posted

Hmm, what potential DA buffs? I haven't heard anything...

[/ QUOTE ]Nothing's been said, but with the current underpowerness of few /DA powers, and the fact that they are revisiting the set while making it for stalkers, one can hope for a boost for scrapper /DA as well

After all, they did boost scrapper MA (Mainly CAK) when they modified the set for stalkers.

1 thing i would like to see....: LESS TOGGLES.

and if you still want to keep the toggles, lower CoF end cost and up its ToHitDebuff
