1) In the actual gameplay, just how good is the inherent +tohit in Broadsword. Will I be just hitting myself in the leg if I rely on just one Accuracy SO in the attacks? (For PvE.)
[/ QUOTE ]It's only 5%, but as long as you do sensible PvE (Fighting +3's maximum, preferably lower), you'll be just fine with 1 ACC SO, just like every other powerset.
Broadsword does defence debuff too. My Katana scrapper did fine with just 1 acc. I had Focused Accuracy too but didn't normally need to turn it on.
1) Like said before, fight less than +3s and you'll be fine.
2) not sure, but hero planner says caltrops is the same but WG is double recharge. I wouldn't go by everything it says though, but that sounds reasonable.
3) Soul transfer PVE: I would advise against taking it. It gets you killed, since it aggros mobs when you ressurect (and the stun often doesn't work). If you do take it, as many recharge as you like.
PVP: Slot recharge and disorient, maybe put some heals or endmods in there. It has 2 uses: 1) counter ganking. (Get ganked, soul transfer, turn on OG, then take down the team while they're weak). 2) Taking down granite-using brutes.
Cloak of fear only works with HEAVY slotting, I've specced it out until I can get the hami-os needed to make it work. But if you're set on it, 3acc 3end is pretty much a must to counter it's abysmal accuracy and ludicrous end cost. If you're choosing between OG and CoF, take OG. The difference is that OG is cheaper and detoggles squishies.
Couple of random scrapper-related questions...
1) In the actual gameplay, just how good is the inherent +tohit in Broadsword. Will I be just hitting myself in the leg if I rely on just one Accuracy SO in the attacks? (For PvE.)
2) Are the Caltrops and Web Grenade from Weapon Mastery identical to their /Devices versions?
3) What's the word on the street on slotting Soul Transfer and Cloak of Fear? (For PvP and for PvE?)
