Just because you don't see it doesn't mean ppl don't play it. It is a very good combo and can solo AVs with the best of Scrapper.

Is their something that I am missing or is this just an under appreciated coupling of power sets?

I have one at lvl 26.
There was a recent thread... just prior to the boards being converted about this very subject. I haven't finalized a build for mine to shoot for, currently a very fun scrapper to play, and I've found that synergy as well.
level 26 and have a grand total of: 13,770 debt at this time... many of my characters had the first debt badge at this point in their careers.
Make it... have fun!
50's: Heroes: Ozmeth DB/WP; Black Decker DM/Regen; Shado-Strike DM/SR Scrapper (13 AV soloed); Desert-Shock Claws/Elec Scrapper; Shado-Shriek Dark/Son Def
Villains: Bokken Nin/Nin
Current project(s):
You're not missing anything. It's a great combination.

I've got one,
It's Awesome!
How Awesome?
Well, when it comes to smash/lethal Res/Def It's got higher raw numbers than your standard granite tank (of course, mines an IO build so . . ) Then theres the constant heal of Siphon Life.
So with both of those present, she became the first Scrapper I ever picked up Taunt with.
and I dropped Conserve Power to do it. So she's also the first Scrapper I've had that didn't use that in the build either.
Oh, and as for AV killing, she is currently undefeated, she hasn't always been able to beat them down, but has never been beaten down herself.
Just watch out for that pesky Psi Hole.
I've been considering making a DM/Inv or DM/WP once we can customize our power colors. But you raise a question that I've always had about Invulnerability: How would you recommend plugging the "Psi hole"?

Be well, people of CoH.
Bill do you have a link to that picture in your sig?
The only reason why I haven't made an invulerability type hero is because I HATE their animations and graphics.

I personally wouldn't go out of my way to plug it and would make psi damage dealers priority targets. I'd also keep ToF around to fear them if there are multiples. I'd much rather have higher def to everything else and higher rech (for things like Soul Drain) than spend a lot of slots on psi damage. That, or I'd just eat lucks (heresy, I know).|

(Keep in mind, I haven't re-IOed mine to be I13 compliant because I could never fit in everything I wanted into it.)

Two gents that frequented the art forum did this for me. Graver did the pencils while JTran did the inks/colors.
I-16 is going to open up a lot of sets I couldn't stand prior. I'll make an MA scrapper thanks to the alternative animations. My claws/inv is going to get a total color overhaul on his inv. My new dm/wp brute will have everything tinted red/orange. It's gonna be groovy.
Be well, people of CoH.

I've never bothered plugging it. I've never found it to be a big problem. You just need to remember that you're not invulnerable to them, and can't sleep walk through them like you do through most content. Pay attention to your health. Be ready with inspirations. But you're a Scrapper. Tear them apart. |
