Kinetic Melee/Dark Armor *requesting build advice

Greetings folks,

I would like to start a KM/DA Scrapper but I need to know which powers are skippable in each set?

I plan on soloing and grouping 50/50 and am not interested in PVP.

It would be great if someone could post a basic SO leveling build so I can get the basic slotting down as both sets ae new to me and I know Dark Armor has a bit of a learning curve.

Thank you!

I am a scrapper enthusiast, especially when it comes to dark armor. I have not yet however begun to enjoy Kin melee because I am working on two other lvl 50 scraps I enjoy playing a lot.

As for dark armor though, I would suggest taking everything but the rez. (Take the rez if you have an extra power.) The biggest problem with /DA is endurance. One way to fix it is theft of essence chance for +end in Dark Regen. The other is pumping up your recovery using Physical P, stamina, numi/miracle uniques and set bonuses. My DA toon has 4.2 end/sec recov. and does fine.

Kin melee does not have a +def. power like parry or divine avalanche so getting into some +def sets will also come in handy. Ideally you want high s/l and melee def. Kinetic Combats are an amazing set to do so but at a price.

Finally if you can, get some global rech in there for Dark Regen.

Again however, I am not too familiar with Kin Melee so idk how challengin this build could be but i expect it could be a pain in the neck

I truly appreciate the feedback on DA, thank you!

I imagine since KM is only a few days old the feedback will be sparse. But I'm hoping a vet with some beta experience might chime in.

Thanks again!
