That's weird. I was reading your post thinking, "Yeah, Katana/Regen sounds good for him." and then you went and said it. Seriously, Divine Avalanche and Quick Recovery at low levels. What's not to love?

Fiery Melee has some good damage output as well of Burning Damage-Fiery Melee/Willpower works well together,also get Tough and Weaver for this build and only down side it's is mosty Single Attacks for Soloing.
Spines got good Aoe and Cone Damage for heavy Mobs-Spine/Dark or Fiery Aura will do the trick and it's has Toxic Damage.
Broad Sword has good Amount of Attack Damage and good for Soloing and Reduce Defense's.
Martial Arts are also fun,it isn't as powerful as the others but will get the job Done.
you could also wait Until !16 and make Elec Melee,Lighting Rod pawn all and can End Draining
if sloted with End enhancements.

However, this is where the issue begins. Stalkers all have unique powers and interesting concepts however I can not find something that I am satisfied with.

The most important part is that I plan to dual box with this scrapper and do the Ouroboros Flashbacks to get the badges. So, it needs to be good at lower levels and while under restrictions while also being able to hold it's own in most situations while I am soloing. If you scrapper vets out there have any ideas, please let know what are good scrapper powerset combo (like Katana/Regen) and why. I just needed to bounce this off you guys and get some feedback. Thanks a bunch all! I have subscribed to this thread. |
are you going to solo or dual box?
Oh! Thank you for catching that. I'll edit my post.
I want to make a scrapper.

Well I'll be the first to say I think you should make a Fire melee/shield/blaze. With FM/SD/blaze you get plenty of AoE and single target attacks, solo or teaming the sets are extremely useful and you well not get bored at any point of the set. Though my opinion is bias for shields, my favorite primary is Duel blades. But since one you can't have them together and two it wouldn't make since together, I would not have them together, so I'm saying Fire melee/shield/blaze. I can even post a build if you decide to go with it.

I wouldn't make a Fire melee/Shield...because it is not the best to lvl up with and it is not that good at low lvls. Shields is a great set when you get into IO but with just SO it is not that good IMO. |

Now for the lowers levels and leveling up the 2 best I would say is /Regen and /Willpower. Now any attack will do really but BS or Kat will make both better. But you don't want to do Kat or BS so I would go with maybe DM or Fire. DM or Fire for /Regen because of no redraw both are great sets but DM isn't the best for AoE damage. Both would go with /Willpower great too. So I would make a DM/WP or DM/Regen, or Fire/Regne or Fire/Willpower all should be good for what you want to do.

My Claws/Regen was very good at low levels, if you are concerned about redraw go Claws/WP.

I think that I am going to make a Dark/Dark scrapper. It seems like an interesting combo and I came up with a concept that I like.

/dark is fairly horrible pre stamina. The one thing you must find for ouroing is the accurate healing set chance for +end to go in your AoE heal.

Katana/Regeneration is the best combination for low levels. It offers an endurance management power, a defensive buff power, and it is extremely resilient when slotted and played correctly.

I like katana for low levels... but if you want an alternative, Dark with Air Superioroty and Touch of Fear is another solid option.
I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.
Not to mention dark has that nice to hit debuff secondary effect which pared with regeneration will help you regenerate faster.

You know....Dark Melee/Regen actually sounds like a pretty magical idea.

Did someone say my name? I'm pretty sure I heard it. I know I heard someone say "DM/Regen" and 99.99% of the time my name gets brought up soon after...

Keep in mind that with the new exemping rules in i16 you keep your powers up to +5 of your exemped level. So at 15 you would still have your level 20 power, which for your kin could be sb. That would help the endurance issues at low levels.

Well if you have a good Mids Build for your DM/Regen scrapper I would love to see it.
I have decided to make one as my partner toon for doing Flashback Badges while dual boxing on a Troller.

would having a fire/kin help a dm/rgn?
You have a heal and ...
I think the last thing /rgn needs is heals or endurance.
/dark however is an endo ***** and has deathshroud. And if you put ID on him knock proof.

It would help by providing more of the wonderful +rech that DM/* loves for awesome attack chains and Soul Drain, and */Regen loves for getting those click powers back fast enough. Of course, it's not going to have nearly as much synergy as a */DA Scrapper, but it's also going to have a much easier time soloing and doing flashbacks, which is going to be important. As I understand the OP, he plans on soloing the character as it levels and then dual boxing with the fire/kin for the flashbacks, so you're not going to want to design something that is very heavily dependent on the synergy with the fire/kin. Solo functionality and two man team functionality should be equally important and DM/Regen does fit that requirement quite well.
