however my scrappers usually have defense first in mind, before dmg.

What we've got here is a scrapper that's trying to be a tank. Don't bother, take an Ice/Axe Tank instead. Scrappers are offensive combatants by nature (that's how they're balanced), they rely on dropping their opponent first, not outlasting them (that's a Tanker thing).
Scrapper = Offensive
Tanker = Defensive
The other way round really doesn't work.

Well, I don't want to fall on the "will not work for you but works for me" thing. Let's say you have your playstile, I have mine. I see nothing wrong in dealing a good dmg but trying to put the tools for not to faceplant and that doesn't mean I want a tank. That remark as unfair as if I told you "well, what you want is a pure damage dealer, go roll a blapper, fire/energy will do for you".

Fine, you win, I'm tired of banging my head against a wall, but don't say we didn't warn you.

Look, reread Shannon's post and for Pete's sake, take it in. You've had three people question this build, maybe, just maybe, we might have a point?

Hey, relax plz, I never said you don't have a point at all. In fact I think I mentioned many times the build is risky, may not be affordable on endurance terms and I kept all the posts printed and stored in case I have to change it. I just feel I have to give the build a go.

No build up? You can get defeated for lacking damage output. As for accuracy i see foc acc + acc per attack which is ok for PVE.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes you can but you can also get defeated for lack of dmg resistance.

Med pool or tough...Med pool (replenish health versus any dam type and provide stimulant on the defender in team )

[/ QUOTE ]
Agreed, i am just questioning the usefulness of Medicine pool at lvl 49-50

[ QUOTE ]
Haste or Tough...Haste (better dps less fight duration)

[/ QUOTE ]
Hasten is in the build

[ QUOTE ]
Fitness Pool or Tough...Fitness pool (lack of attack chains and end can hurt).

[/ QUOTE ]
Fitness pool is in the build

Half the damage you maybe subjected to can be avoided by positioning and assault. To be in the vicinity of AoEs aimed at someone else or not to be? To be in perception range of other extra mobs or not to be? To have build up and waste that guy faster before his next survivability peak and so be attacked less cos he is dead or not to have? Id get build up it also saves on end as you do more damage per end. My build up before stamina became a psuedo stamina

[/ QUOTE ]
Got the point, still decided to go the other way and the positioning/assault tactic can be valid without Build Up.

I couldnt do a BS/SR as the combo wouldnt gel to my liking in a way that i couldnt get enough powers that Id want to complete a scrapper with but a BS/Inv might.

[/ QUOTE ]
Very tempted of swapping to BS/DA for a total challenge.

Too late, I already told everyone in the office you never warned me
