Scrappers and DeBuffs

Hello,

I am trying to work seriously on the DeBuff side of a scrapper hence I am working on a few DM/ builds. Although I have searched old topics as far as I could due to time issues (and my boss jerking around), I would like to know a few things:

1.- Powers such as Touch of Fear, Siphon Life or Shadow Punch slotted with 2 Acc SO's and 3 ToHitDebuff SO's without Focused Accuracy or Tactics, would they Debuff an EB or an AV on hitting him?

2.- If not, would they debuff the EB or AV with Focused Accuracy 3 ToHitBuff SO's slotted on?

3.- Would they DeBuff the EB/AV with Tactics 3 ToHitBuff SO's and no Focused Accuracy?

4.- If I am running both Focused Accuracy 3 ToHitBuff slotted and Tactics 3 ToHit Buff slotted, can I save 1 Acc slot in the debuffing attacks and Still Debuff the AV/EB or in order to do that I would need Soul Drain on besides FA and tactics? (I am assuming here that with Tactics, 2Acc SO's on the attack, 3Debuff SO's on the attack and Focused Accuracy, the EB/AB HAS to be debuffed, otherwise, the best a DM scrapper can do when fighting EB/AV's is to cheer up his teammates)

I would like to know this in order to maximize slots and powers and plan the builds carefully, since I was planning to try tactics for it's fear protection and spice it up with assault to maxmimize dmg on the rest of DM attacks combined with Soul Drain, but unless I can redistribute slots and try to fit Focused Accuracy on top of all that. I guess if I go for DM/Inv the issue towards a single EB/AV will be pretty much the same since Invinicbilty only buffs significantly in mobs and not against a single powerful enemy.-

Thanks

Any power that hits a enemy target will debuff them with the secondary effect, regardless of slotting and/or other powers. But having more accuracy = increasing your chance of hitting = debuffing the enemy.

May be worth noting also that all powers bar ToF only provide 8/9% DeBuff to ToHit with 3 ToHitt DeBuff enhancements slotted. Never personally seen anyone try to play a scrapper this way before but I wish you all the luck!

tbh m8 only really need focussed accuracy, has a much better chance of hitting and therefore debuffing the foe but also if u was fighting another dark scrapper without foc acc then u'll be rest to his debuffs
