Mmmm, a while ago I posted a few different builds for DM/SR scrappers maximizing the defense side, you can take a look at them in this link .
None of them had Medicine pool since I never felt I needed it on any of my DM/SR scrappers managing ok with just Siphon Life, but lots of people find Aid Self extremely helpful so you may want to squeeze it somewhere.-
You can do more things to any of these builds and squeeze even more defense (my current build is 50% melee and 53% ranged/AoE), I hope they may be helpful for you.-
The problem with defence based sets is that they only really shine when you get So's and have all the powers 3 slotted with SOs/IOs. before that they're a bit [censored] TBH.
I managed on my DM/EA brute (which, afaik has worse Def figures than a SR scrapper) with just Siphon Life and whatever greens I got dropped.
Defiant 50's
Many and varied!
@Miss Chief
You must get shadow punch, smite and shadow maul asap and get them slotted with acc.
Basically as said above, the SR defence bonus's prior to IOs suck and suck end as well. Get those three and go for quick kills.
I have got a lvl 19 DM/SR scrapper thats a hero version of my luch loved stalker. I knew before I started that there were different powers, especially in the primary, but didnt look much more into it. Now im finding it a bit of a slog to play him. Compared to my spines/regen (who i gave up a long time ago) he just seems to be lacking. Is it just going to take a while to get going?
So any build advice? Ie good builds, slotting, powers to skip and must haves? This is going to be a toon for purely teaming, never soloing, as he is part of a regular team night.
Any help greatly appreciated, as I like his concept too much to want to delete him.
