I can't decide about witch primary is better betwheen these 3.

Fire seems amazing but i donnow if it works well enought vs /fire brutes.

Dark makes u immortal or similar, but got long recharge time and i donnow if damage will be enought for kill every one (all classes and builds i mean).


And about Claws.. i fought a claws yesterday and he was devasting.. his damage never stops.. but i never heard good things about claws and so got some reserves.


Now, considering it will be a duel oriented toon but must be decent in rv too, considering i ll go for a full ios build (got 5 toons to unslot) and considering, offcourse, i ll pick regen as secondary..

can someone help me to decide?

Thank you.

Well Fire melee lacks range vs. claws because with claws you can spam a quick recharging range attack that it has, "Focus". But Fire melee is a hard hitting primary set for Scrappers, it can also be resisted. Dark Melee set does not have a range attack power and to add to it, a few of the hard hitting attacks are time consuming with the animation lasting up to 3.07 seconds. Claws may not hit as hard but the recharge is quick and you can spam he range attack and slot it with a KB enhancers (although it may not be enough magnitude to see effective KB in PVP).

I do not want to discourage you from the chosen three you selected but I would suggest looking into them and plus a few other primaries that you may want to use according to your play-style or how you plan to battle in PVP matches.
