Hello, i'm a returning player after 1 year and i'm looking for a build that would give me super speed, flurry, haste and other flury type attacks that would be good in PvE and or PvP. This is mainly a theme build i'm looking for i'd like to see a build for EM/WP or DM/WP or EM/SR or DM/SR plz help someone.

Flurry is never going to be good at PvE. It's the worse attack you could possibly pick.

I'd go DM for Shadow Maul as it's pretty much the same animation and actually does damage.

Not going to find an EM build for Scrappers.

Yeah, no em for scrappers, not to mention it's one of the slowest, sloth-like sets out there, lol.

You two realize they are probably talking about Elecrtical Melee?

DM/SR with superspeed would be the fastest looking scrapper in my opinion.
With Shadow Punch and Smite having quick activation times and Shadow Mauls animation.

MA/WP could look just as fast but you would have to use Flurry which is a terrible power to take.

Your desires are incompatible. PvP travel suppression, as currently implemented, will make the fastest character seems slow. Any attack, any buff/debuff, any self heal will suppress you to down to molasses speed.

Also, PvP right now is not concept build friendly. SR in particular, which would be what you'd want for a "fast" character, is awful in PvP. Possibly the worst secondary you can pick. DM is also an awful choice in PvP since lack of tohit buffs, and lack of burst damage will mean that your opponent will run way before they're in any danger of being killed by you. EM (assuming you're talking about electric melee) is an acceptable choice, but trails behind fire melee and broadsword by far.

tl;dr version: focus on PvE. In PvE I'd recommend DM/SR.

EM has been used to mean Energy Melee for about six years now. Although Scrappers still don't have the powerset, the Scrapper forum has seen thousands of threads discussing Energy melee for Scrappers, so it's been used that way here too.

In cases where confusion is possible, one might get better answers by spelling things out.

Normally that's a very good point. However, the OP has only 13 posts and while giving the benefit of the doubt is good, probably in this case it's best to assume they don't know better.

DM/SR or Claws/SR would be your best bet for a speedster. (Claws has a weapon option that makes the claws almost disappear, it looks like you're throwing punches then)

Also, since it looks like you should have the 12 month vet badge, Sands of Mu is another Flurry/Shadow Maul type attack. All 3 chained together is amusing. The damage isn't that great, and Sands will miss quite a bit, but it's amusing to punch someone 24 times in about 7 seconds total.

This thread topic remids me of an idea I had for a build based on Neji Huuga from Naruto. I was thinking DM/SR with flurry, shadow maul, and sands of mu with enough recharge in the build could make seemless puches. I also was going to throw in whirlwind and both tactics and foc acc. Not to mention the kismet acc IO and the perception IO. With the new bonus pack out, I just might try it out.

That may be the fastest looking character, but most likely will result in the slowest Scrapper alive at killing things

Not really. Never said I would not take SL, MG, or SD. Concept can only go so far. Unless you make toggle man. Then you are pretty much stuck.

If I really did make that Neji concept, I would only take one or the other to hit toggles. It may see everything, be real fast and still do dmg but could you imagine the end drain?
