Greetings,

I'm going for a general purpose build and I cobbled this together after looking at various builds and tweaking it a bit to match something I feel might fit my play style.

I group and solo at a rate of 50/50 on average.

I chose "Laser Beam Eyes" as I wanted "Body Mastery" and thought it might be a good way to increase my "Single Target Damage."

This is my first planned out Mid's build. I'm open to advice and suggestions and if anyone could give me a ballpark figure on the price that would be great.

Thank you!

Arboris

Mine is one of my favorite scrappers. Here, for comparison's sake, is the build I'm using. The -recharge procs add up over time.

Thank you Heraclea. It helped opening side by side for a comparison. It gave me a few ideas. Working on these builds in almost as fun as the game:-)

If you have the cash I would strongly recommend putting a few Kinetic Combats in your build.

IMO getting Laser Beam Eyes and full slotting it seems like a waste. Impale, Lunge and Box/Kick are all I really need as far as single target damage is concerned. You should REALLY get ripper. It's a very good power. If you get your recharge up just a little you can spout off Ripper,Throw Spines, and Spine Burst over and over again until the baddies are crying home to their mommies! Muahaha!

On another note what you have in Stamina is pretty redundant. You put in the third slot to get the +1.5% endps but you end up loosing like 7 or 8% for not putting in a regular EndMod IO. I only say this because end is really tough on this build if you haven't figured out yet.

** Mine isn't really the best build in the world but I get by pretty well. I can deal with +2s pretty easily soloing. If there's a debuffer/buffer coming a long with me FORGET ABOUT IT!! Everything is dead just looking at us.**
