ello all

i just made a dark/dark scrapper and im liking him much more then i thought i would


i just wanted to ask the good people in the forums
are there and powers i should definatly get/avoid

does anyone have a tried and tested build or even just a build that they could recommend?

also i heard dark can be end heavy so any tips regarding end red slotting would be helpful too

also if you could mention when i should get certain powers, that would be helpful too

also i was wondering, does death shroud crit at all??
i no it wouldnt do that much extra damage, but it would be nice if it did

although its sad that after 25 views, no one felt the erge to post or maybe no one has dark/dark experience on these forums :P

however it doesnt matter now because after heaviy persuation from fellow players and looking at BS/regen at work ive deleted my dark/dark to make him.

perhaps if somebody posted a few positive comments or just answerd one of my questions he would still be around.....

o well

Here is some advice i got from Seriphos awhile ago regarding dark/dark for my brute. I spoke to Seriphos seeing as he probably has more dark armours than anyone and i wanted to see how far away from his viewpoints were from mine (of which some is edited out of this post being about brutes really and alot are iirc in another post).

Just adapt it into scrapperness, i would say that your choice of slotting may vary in 1 or 2 powers but regarding amount of slots per power i personally think Seriphos is very good.

This was for a brute that builds fury, his scrapper may well would probably differ, so use this as a guide.

The build order isn't there, and can be shuffled around fairly easily, but the key powers are there by 30. Air Supes I see as fairly key, since it bolsters the lacklustre DM attack chain, and is useful for mitigating damage in PVE and PVP. Death Shroud is there for damage, you can switch it out if it's not your taste. CoF I got for stacking with ToF, but I would reccomend you remove some slots from somewhere of your choice, and 6 slot it. Without accuracy and end reductions, it's a drain. With them, bye bye minions and LTs.
