looking for opinions on my spine/dark proposed build...

In my opinion, set bonuses don't tell much without seeing the individual slotting in each power.
Barb Swipe and Flurry are powers you usually want to avoid if building for performance. Throw Spines is the best AoE Spines has, and skipping it would be a mistake.
ok thx for the advice.
i'll place throw spines back into build and sit at 43% melee.
Here you go Santorican:
First I realize I've gimped damage potential taking spine swipe over impale but I absolutely want melee softcapped so I accept the hit.
I also realize dark regen. could use more endurance reduction & recharge but I hope to be ok with hasten & conserve power running.
I could have gone with theft of the essence for the endurance proc but it's out of my price range.
This build is kinda expensive but that's because of the dual touch of death and dual obliteration. The rest of the IOs are very cheap.

Okay check out the slotting in Dark Regeneration in this build, I'd strongly advise trying to get it, it maximizes it's recharge and minimizes it's endurance cost, it might not be the absolute best slotting for it but it's really good.

very nice build Sant.
I still insist on softcapping melee & taking the toon for some test runs.
My dark regen is weak but I can always stock inspirations of the defense & heal variety

This build includes four accolades: Freedom Phalanx, Atlas, Task Force and Portal Jockey.
I've selected IOs to maximize melee defense since in my n00b brain I imagine the scrapper will get attacked with melee attacks the majority of the time.
Is this thinking less than ideal? Should I instead focus on equal defense for melee/ranged/aoe?
