Afternoon all!

After hearing about the upcoming BotZ "reassignment" I have been working on tweaking my build. The only major issue I have is the slight reduction in my overall recharge (I had to drop Leadership pool and 2 spots for LotG +) has left my attack chain a little short when hasten isnt up.

Any advice?

I would definitely slot Health and Stamina with a few more slots.

Are you taking the Blaze as some sort of concept?

Took Melt Armor to help solo AV's and thus far it has been greatly helpful. Plus the slotting on Ring of Fire and Melt Armor help my overall defenses once slotted.

I haven't had any end or recovery issues with this build at all so not seeing where I would need more slots in health or endurance?

Melt armor is rubbish on scrappers. Slow animation time, bad numbers, bad length make it just horrible and it slows down your DPS. You'd be better off taking body mastery and getting physical perfection for better endurance and regen. But that's just my opinion on the matter. You'll also have pew pew eyes. PEW PEW! You could also put an Achilles proc in the pew pew.

I was told Melt Armor is a cool emote that eats up a lot of endurance and debuffs resistance less than a sonic blaster tier 1 attack
