FM/SD/Blaze Build -Is True Grit Skippable?
By
Broken Voltage,
Posted on: 2009-09-14 18:46 in Scrappers
You really don't want to skip true grit, it offers a nice +hp and it offers some resistances and a place to put stead fast protection: resistance/defense which will increase your defense and minor amounts of resistance.
Virtue: @Santorican
Dark/Shield Build Thread
The +% Def potion of the Steadfast IO is an "always on" kind of bonus, so that can go in either Tough, Deflection or OwtS (if you take that) and not really worry about the loss.
Would I say that True grit is absolutely mandatory? No, not really. Would I personally skip it? No, not really. More HPs and resists is always going to be a boon because the RNG is always going to hate you at some point, and having a backup plan is a good thing. And like Sant says, it's a great place to stow that Steadfast unique even if it's not the onliest place.
It's a passive that gives you health and resists
Hmmmm... I would NOT skip it
I don't even have to read your post, to know the quick and definite answer, of NO NOT EVER SKIP TRUE GRIT.
It offers good exotic resistances, and the max hp bonuses, which act exactly like an extra 20% resistance to your character when slotted.
Not to mention, its the best place to slot the steadfast 3% defense proc, and you can slot some numinas for regeneration which helps shield out a LOT, and some more max hp bonuses.

On a scrap I could see myself ditching True Grit for something I considered important, I dont think this would be the case for a tank but on a scrap the base resist it offers is only 11% which isnt all that much.
If you find that you dont take a lot of hits then yea, I would say True Grit is entirely dropable for you.
If it was JUST a base 11.25% resist all auto power, I might agree with you. However, it also adds 10% to max HP, enhanceable to +20% max HP. So I'd say no, do NOT skip True Grit.

Need a say again, +HP bonuses work EXACTLY like equivalent amounts of resistance to ALL. The only time a resistance is better than an HP bonus, is if you hit the HP cap, but not resistance cap, and when heals are in factor from outside sources.|

By yourself though, you'll not hit either, except VERY limited amounts over the hp cap during OWTS, which the entire time when its off, is more than worth it to overstock on hp bonuses.
so that 10% hp, bumped up to 20% with slotting, you can bet youre bottom dollar you might as well consider that an extra 20% resistance TO ALL. Making True Grit DEFINITELY not skippable. Especially when you consider in the IOs and bonuses that can go into the power as well.
Even at the defense cap, you'd be a fool to skip it.

I still really REALLY hate how the smash/lethal resists are in deflection, isntead of being all in true grit. GRRRR we all need to petition that they move those to true grit, or just plain give true grit extra s/l resistance for even more :P
But so annoying having to divulge 2-3 extra slots to deflection just because for some stupid reason the devs put the s/l resistance there, instead of in true grit where it makes more sense in anyways.

I would just ask yourself one question and not listen to people's opinion.
And that question is: Damage > Survivability?
I am a true fan of GFS. I like the look, the dmg, and it uses my 2nd fav animation with total focus being my fav and 1kC being 3rd. Even with that being said, if I had to pick that over true grit, GFS would get the axe in a heartbeat. Skipping a +HP power screams all kinds of wrong to me. Personally, I'd waist away hours in front of mids trying to figure out a way to get both and still get soft cap def. I'm almost sure it can be done.

If you're going to skip something from Shield, and you're softcapped, here's what you skip (in this order):
* One With the Shield
* Grant Cover
* Phalanx Fighting

Thank you all for your advice & input.
One more question if i may.. what is the DPS of an attack chain of incinerate>cremate>fire sword vs. incinerate>cremate>scorch vs. GFS>incinerate>cremate based on the build above.
If the DPS drop from having GFS to not having GFS is low (<20%)...maybe its better to have an attack chain without GFS and continue to have true grit in the build.

heck no, grant cover is the FIRST thing to go. The only thing it adds to you is slow resistance, which when you're not getting hit by attacks means SOO little. OWTS is SO much more useful than grant cover. Even at the cap, there are always things that can get to you. But grant cover in large, does nothing for you either way. If nothing else, OWTS is a "conserve power" type power if you don't need it for the survivability.

Look at the DPA of the attacks. GFS is about 93, Incinerate is like 111, Cremate is 102 or something like that, and fire sword is 94. Outside of build up its most beneficial to skip GFS actually and run an attack chain of fire sword, cremate and incinerate.

Updated build..with more Defense, Resistance, Damage, & HP while still maintaining a high recharge, high enough for what i wanted to accomplish anyways.
Now to dip into the money bag for a little influence. :-)

Yes i caught that afterwards, but OWTS provides so much more that its not worth the end cost to run it IMO. Especially if you're at the cap and are hardly ever getting hit by anything anyways. It does irk me that they put it in that power and not in say Phalanx fighting, but its still nowhere near enough to get me to pick up the power.

Just skip Scorch. Easy call. You said yourself that your melee attack chain would be GFS->Incinerate->Cremate, right? What do you need it for?

Here is a version that should be a bit cheaper, a bit better on endurance, a bit more recharge, a bit more regen, a bit more damage, and a bit more defense. If you can afford the PvP IO, swap out the 4th slot in Deflection and you are capped to all three positions.
You can choose whether or not the level 38 power is OWTS or GC (or maybe Assault or Tactics). Edit: I think I'd move Phalanx to 38 (or 30 and take CJ at 38), and then the level 49 power could be OWTS, GC, or Assault (or something else you like).

Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.

Yes because having a 60 point endurance crashing in two minutes is worth taking OWTS v.s. Grant Cover right? I think not

It does irk me that they put it in that power and not in say Phalanx fighting, but its still nowhere near enough to get me to pick up the power.

Dark/Shield Build Thread
Hi all
Below is my FM/SD scrapper build i put together. Some key stats.
Curent Stats
Softcapped Melee, Range & AOE
92.5% recharge + hasten = 162.5% recharge
2055 Hitpoints
+2.46 end recovery
17.5% Damage buff
69% Acc
56% Regen
With all the recharge, GFS>Incinerate>Cremate DPS attack chain seems possible. Unfortunetly, i wasnt able to fit GFS in.
The only power i would debating dropping is True Grit but the loss of hit points(about 200) & and the loss of 11% resistance to would be difficult.
My question is whether the true grit is required and would i miss it.
The thought of having an AOE chain of Shield Charge+Greater Fire Circle+Fireball and a ST chain of GFS>Incinerate>Cremate is extremly tempting.
Thoughts appreciated. Btw cost isnt an issue.
