Fast leveling, Budget, AV Soloer?

Is that too much to ask for? I imagine it is. In case it's not, what primary/secondary combo would you recommend? Any advice on build theory (as opposed to details)?

Also, what would you consider to be "fast leveling"?

dm/sr or kat/wp - both are capable of doing it. Both can be built with a budget build and still be formidable.

DM/SR or Kat/wp are great but I would go with fire/SR. It has good AoE to help with the leveling and with just a little rech you can have a great attack chain. Now if you want to solo AV with no insp then you will need to get aid self but if your ok to do it with Insp I don't think you will find a cheaper Scrapper combo that could solo AVs.

Interesting. I can certainly see DM with the +End but wouldn't FM/SR be difficult to deal with for endurance reasons?

with Fire you can run the attack chain of Incinerate<Scorch<Cremate<Scorch, It takes little end and doesn't take a lot of recharge to get, and it still as good DPS. and if you get Conserve Power and Physical Perfection you shouldn't have any endurance issues.

Also with Dark Melee the +end power helps but it will not solve your endurance issues. You will most likely have only one target in range in a fight and it will not fill your end bar with just one in range. Also I don't know what a low recharge attack chain for Dark Melee is but it will most likely use more end then Incinerate<Scorch<Cremate<Scorch.

Both are great to play so you can't go wrong with either of them.

I will definitely say katana/wp. Super Reflexes does not level as well as will power.

Fire/SR.

For leveling, get Hasten at 6 and Quickness right after Stamina. Slot attacks for recharge over endurance. This allows for a very fast pace Blapper experience with the benefits of Mez protection and some Defense. You can pop purple insp to get softcap when you need it, allowing you to take on bosses and large groups with ease.

The ride from 1 to 50 on my Fire/SR was extremely quick, very fun, and fast paced. You'll want a respec after leveling. You can solo AVs without spending a ton of inf, and you will want to get Aid Self, especially if you're going for no temps/no insp.

My issue with Kat/WP is that softcapping non-positionals can get expensive. Kat/Regen is harder to recommend, as it really shines with +recharge, which is expensive.
