I have solod probably the easier av's only 2 so far Battle Maiden and Bobcat. But I used MA/SD. It was a softcapped build. I tried some others but it would seem martial arts is to heavly resisted by some of the AV's to solo. I tried Dominatrix but I couldn't even dent here though she couldn't do much to me either
/SR is the easiest and cheapest to get to soft cap.. which gives more room for other things such as aid self which I'd recommend.
/Shield can also be easily soft cap'd, and it comes with more hitpoints, resists, and +damage, which generally make it a better build overall. I'd still recommend Aid Self.
MA/Dark can get to soft cap or near soft cap at seriously gimping the build's damage output, but it comes with a heal.
You can see the trend... to kill AV's you want to be at or near the soft caps in defense and you want a heal.
I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.
Makes sense to be def capped. Just wasn't sure of maybe something beneficial in a secondary to help with the lower S/L damage of MA.
Completely forgot shield has the multi-enemy +damage. Hopefully that can make the difference.
Thank you for bringing that up.
Since you're willing to farm up the influence, I'd probably go MA/SD. You can push Martial Arts damage output quite high. I think you'll be able to hit the same number of AVs as other scrappers. In theory, there's nothing stopping you from beating Dominatrix's 50% smashing resistance.

I have soloed AV with my MA/SD Scrapper, had to use Green don't have a self heal. The build I use is cheap build that was just to aim for Soft capped Def and able to fight with out stopping. My attack chain is not that great but with AAO it helps me a lot to take down AVs. I could see with the right IO and inf you could make a great AV killer.

Hey everyone,
It is that time again... time to start a new character! ::YAY::
But where my focus was always with AoE and farming... I now want a character to solo AVs.
But here is the catch... I want it to be a Martial Artist Scrapper.
I know it is not the most fantastic scrapper primary, but I find there is really no "bad" scrapper. I don't expect to kill as many AVs as DM/SR or FM/SR, but I want that feeling of standing toe-to-toe with the baddest of the bad.
My question is...
What secondary is going to benefit me most with a MA primary?
I am guessing I would need to be heavily IO'd with some stupid amount of inf to provide to it.
This is ok, and I am willing to farm the inf as needed.
Any suggestions?
Builds?
Experiences AV soloing with MA?
I don't expect to hit 15-20 AVs like other scrappers, but how many, approximately, could I take?
Thank you in advance.
