Hey guys, im going to be making a new scrapper and I've decided to make him high single target DPS. Ill be using regeneration as my secondary (its by far my favourite :-)) but I'm not sure what to use for my primary. I've heard good things about most of them (especially Broadsword and Dark melee) but I'm not sure which one has the hgihest DPS.

Unless you plan to have saturated soul drain all the time, fiery melee is the top dog for single target DPS. Broadsword has great burst damage, but its long term DPS isn't up there with the big boys.


Be well, people of CoH.

Like Bill Z said, Fire is the top dog for Single Target DPS.

However, that said, there are others that can get up their and be competitive.

Seeing as how even with Fire Melee, you're not going to be soloing GMs, and single target DPS builds tend to favor soloing those AVs, and seeing as how you don't seem to have a perticular concept you're going for...I might suggest the new Kinetic Melee.

Stack that -dmg for added defense!

Dark Melee, has the -tohit and self heal in Siphon Life, but it also has the need to be surrounded for Soul Drain.

Also, Martial Arts with it's recent buffs is up their in the damage.

The big question is why single-target DPS? Do you plan to solo AVs and pylons? Are you looking at Zone PVP? Is there fiteclub in your future? The "why" would help determine the best option.
