Which one of my builds so I commit to AV killing?

Hey all. As alot of you have, I've grown bored with AE teams. I've been on CoH on and off for about 3+ years and sadly admit that I've barely tapped into the depth of CoH. I've don't a few task forces, killed like 4 arch villains with a group, done countless radio mishes and a few arcs. I know I16 will change the current state of the game. I want to get into more arcs and Archvillain killing! With that being said, I have a decent stash of INF saved up and I want to dump a bunch of money into a killing machine. Which build would you probably make your killing machine?

DM/SR scrapper
DB/SR scrapper
BS/DA scrapper
FM/SD scrapper
Kat/WP scrapper

And I'm not to sure how tanks translate into AV soloing. Maybe in team beneficial, but solo is that an good option?

Also, as sucky as it sounds I refuse to go spines anything. Though it is powerful, I am just not attracted to spines at all.

Hi,

can I ask, are you limiting answers to the choices listed, or are they just by way of a starting list?

If not, I can recommend an Illusion/Rad troller, and that toon can get you into GM killing as well if you wanted that challenge at a later date.

Funny, I have also hated with a vengence the current spines scrappie look but always wanted one, and after seeing the changes in I16 I will be rolling a new "Mettalic" (I think that is it?) spines as soon as it goes live. The look is fantastic

Cheers

Freedom: Blazing Larb, Fiery Fulcrum, Sardan Reborn, Arctic-Frenzy, Wasabi Sam, Mr Smashtastic.

I've had a lot of success with DM/SD.

I'm curious why you suggest DM/SR and FM/SD, but not DM/SD.

Judging from his signature and his post I assume he lists those options because he already has those characters and doesn't want to make a new one.

Thanks for the opinions. My DM/SR was my first toon and he was fun once I revamped him, BUT I didnt revamp him with all the set bonuses that many ppl in the CoH community seem to have.

I haven't done DM/SD simply because i never got around to it, but it does sound rather good to an extent. I'd get my heal which would have to be accuracy checked of course.
I got my fire/SD up to 41, but only because alot of ppl are farming, so I farmed him up there. Not sure how he would fare out alone in the world. My DM/SR had a hard grind to 50 back when everyone wasn't into the big AE farm hype. I may just create one and ignore the hype and just gring him to glory. But how does shield defense compare with the other secondaries? Why the taunt aura in against all odds? That sucks.

Also, I wanted to roll with something that I already had. But the DM/SD option does sound alright.

If you look in the scrapper forums I have a build posted for a softcapped BS/DA. I am pretty confident in it's ability to solo AVs even though it's not done on live yet.

It's the second build in the thread.

I'd go with the DM/SR.
