I think my Broad Sword/Shield Defense was the most fun leveling up I've had so far. I planned out an uber build for him, but eventually realized that while it would be a great toon, there wasn't really anything he would do BETTER than my other toons. But yeah, a whole lot of fun, and a great combination. Enjoy!

So my bs/sd is lvl 21 and has a even build across the board (3 slots in each power). AAO only has one slot and so does swift.
However that is not the point. I was tanking for a team of 8 at even's to +1 baddies. That is only half, the other half is when I realized my cone attack with only 1 dmg DO enhancement, was doing more damage than my IO'ed Spine/sr's spine burst.
This scrapper almost feels brute like. I run in, drop parry (3 second recharge with 1 recharge DO), drop my cone which will do like 127 fully saturated (again only 1 dmg DO), and that is like 4-6 mobs gone.
Now I was farming with my wife on my Spines/SR and a BS/SD joined us (global frined now), anyways he was IO'ed out like crazy, I mean like multi hundreds of millions of influence. He run in on the bm farm, AAO full up, then hit shield charge, bam 521 dmg, minions droped one hit, Lt's 3/4, and bosses 1/2. He does whirleing sword or what ever the spelling, and mobs done. That is with out Fulcrum shift.
here is what got me about this dude. He said he doesn't play the scrapper, cuz it is too slow to farm. I sit there and said "how do you call that scrapper slow, when you just droped a spawn in two hits that are +3 baddies."
Now I just sat back and watched him for half the farm, to make sure that wasn't a fluke or error in dmg numbers, again, and again the numbers were consistant, and he was killing faster than any fire/kin I have ever seen.
His toon got me inspired but my toon sealed the deal for me. I can't wait to see what a six slotted attack with capped dmg will do with AAO.
Thank you, I will now step off the soap box and go about my way.
