Hey Im looking for a build that can both solo well and pvp at least decently. I'd also like for it to be a lil out of the ordinary so not BS/SD or /Regen. Im a bit of a altaholic but im tryin to find something i can stick with.
Thx for the hlp =)

If you're a true Altaholic then I'd stay away from Shield Defense, as those generally take a sizable amount of cash to shake the ground. But. Being the fact that when they do shake the ground, the REALLY shake the ground and it's possible that you might like it enough to take it all the way.


Space reserved for a super awesome Signature, someday...

Well, as far as the "pvp at least decently" part goes, Regen really is the best option for that. Anything defense based will get shredded by high accuracy characters (i.e. anything in a PvP zone), and resistance based doesn't fare much better, though Electric can be made decent if you sink some cash into it.

Try Dark Melee/Willpower. Not a common choice, it should PvP okay, and it will solo very well.

Well, I can't really speak to your other requirements (although 'scrapper' and 'solo well' are synonymous), but these are a couple of my scrappers. All are great fun and definitely some more obscure pairings (aside from Katana one, because Katana/* is always common):

Elec/DA
Kat/Elec
MA/Fire
Fire/Elec


They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

I have a lvl 50 BS/Shield scrapper and plan to pimp him out. I'm sticking with him and not rerolling him as a Fire/Shield purely out of concept and the coolness factor. Why? Because of the friggin redraw that happens after SC and before my HS ><

I usually have no problems with redraw, but it just seems so slooooooooow during this combo. In teams, after I clear up the minions with my SC and draw the sword to HS a boss, I often find him already dead before I finish my swing.
