Scrapper's Sheilds

They've resistances to pretty much everything, just not very high levels of them. They can just about get 50% S/L resistance with tough, and the others hover in the 25-35% range (apart from Psi, which is closer to 60%).

I think it's mainly the tohit rolls for the auras/heal and the leech-nature of the heal that let it down. Dark really doesn't lend itself to one-on-one battles or fighting high defense enemies, which is pretty common in PvP. I agree completely about the breakfrees, I wouldn't try my spines/dark in PvP... just making a few observations about the set now that I've gained some first hand experience with it.

Kat/SR is huge fun. Mine is a current work in progress, but speaking to any experienced Kat/SR player will be more than likely to give the same responce

I probably don't qualify as expereinced. My kat/sr is only level 12. She was such a total pain to level that I never got her any higher, and that's despite her being a roleplay character so having two costume slots would have been really useful.

I admit I haven't played her recently, so it could have got easier.

My one and only 50 is a kat/regen scrapper and I still find him great fun to play.

THX for all the advice guy'z, but i Must state that i allready have a Ma/Regen Lvl 50 PvP & OwN's LOL Exept Plight, the Git
And i still am yet to make up my mind, here is what im thinking so far :-
Bs/Inv
Bs/Sr
Kitana/Sr
Kitana/Inv
Or Bs/Kitana - Dark...>
ROFL! plz help me make up my mind once & for all, but i have been playing my Bs/Dark & I find IMO Bs is Powerfull, needs 1 End red in every attack (Exept Parry) Dark sheild's are not very good - slotted 1 end red 1 aim 3 power (so far). My end isnt too much of a problem solo & no problem in a team, but what sortta bug's me is the slow animation on the Bs (even though the power is the closest thing to Ma IMO) and the buzzing sound on Dark drives me NUT's LOL!
But if you guy's can come up with a better scrapper PvE-PvP Build, plz feel free to post your oppinion's, all types exept, Ma/Regen, lol anything exept Regen
TY Every 1

if your worried about endurance why not go with claws primary? (its nowhere near as bad as everyone makes out with followup perma) and it does pretty decent damage. claws/invun or claws/DA should be fine

I allways had the imperession that Claws was the weakest of all the attack's??

it is true that claws isn't the most damaging but it amkes up for it whith the fast recharges my claws/regen slices everything to pieces in seconds

From the comparisons on the US boards, Claws is statistically the highest single-target damage primary. It can get the best average DPS by using Perma Follow-Up. That comes at the expense of having little in the way of spike damage, and no "Build Up".

well with low endurance cost and fast recharge, it would be a bit unfair if it was as damaging as other primarys now. but saying that i find it more than damaging enough.

All i can say though is if your worried about endurance costs it is probably your best choice. just try it and see if you like it.

Claws is a great multihitter. I think its really wasteful to just single target with it. Its second only to spines for aoes and thats mostly cos its more awkward to play for aoes besides having much less area covered over time.

Wasnt this section meant to be about shields?

DPS dont really matter when you can just about 2 shot most at's with BS
other sets might have more damage output over a min lets say but its the fast burst damage i like and what works for me on my BS.
Mine is BS/Regan but i have a sr scrapper too and think it would be a good mix with the parry power from BS, should give great defence pvp and pve.
