My level 40 Broad/Shield scrapper is still running out of health and Stamina!

My scrapper has regular io's. I don't have enough money to buy the good ones. Most of my attacks don't have any Endurance reduction enhancements. Just Acc's and Dam's. I did slot my up health up to 3 slots. A pal of mine suggested that I buy Numina's colvusence for my health, but there way too expensive. I have the basic slotting in my shield powers. Help!!

Get Stamina (2 slots with Endurance Modification) from Fitness. That and a single Endurance Reduction in every single attack and toggle, plus one in each click power that you use more than once every 30 seconds or so, you have should fix most of your problems.

The Numina's Unique will cost you 22 missions over the course of 4 days, if you have Going Rogue - It's only 2 Hero Merits. If you don't have GR, you can trade in 50 Reward Merits and 20 million Inf per day at the Loyalty Lounge to get a Hero Merit. If you have 100 merits and 40 million Inf, you can afford the Numina's Unique.

If that's still too much to afford, at level 41, take a power from Body Mastery, and at 44 take Physical Perfection.

Or you could do both.

EDIT: Just noticed this part:

Fix that! NOW! Each of your attacks uses more End/second than one Toggle, some use more than 2 or 3 toggles!

Thanks guys. I purchased those recipes but I'm still having a end problem. Think I gotta add end reducers to my attacks.

Just woke up. Sorry for not responding last night. Thank you thank you for your responses. I'm going to respec and give it a shot. I'm going to definitely imitate "call me awesome's" build. I'll try anything because I'm frustrated at this point. I really thought that my end problems will be over at lvl 40. I hope that when I get that last body mastery power, things will improve. That build looks great. I hope its not too expensive

Another thing you can do to help with end is slot some performance shifter IOs (the pure end mod and the proc) into stamina. The proc is not unique, and it adds endurance directly to you, so it's also nice vs. things like sappers and carnies.

I'd also suggest turning off Sprint as you fight if you don't already. The same for travel powers if you're using them as opposed to Combat Jumping and Hover.

You'll save more endurance with end reduction in your attacks than in toggles or by enhancing Stamina. Also always slot end reduction before recharge. Doesn't matter if you can attack fast if your out of endurance.

I have the same issue. Have a few sets for one, so lots of end reduction in some attacks....at least one end reducer in anything with no sets.....one in all toggles....and my lvl 33 BS/SD is still losing all his end after just a couple groups. I think you need more than 30-35 percent in everything....prolly be an issue until you get all sets in everything that uses end, or put 2 SO's in everything. I can't be bothered with all that, so my toon is shelved for now. Just not fun.

And no, I know what I am doing....not running anything I shouldn't, like sprint or any kind of travel. Don't even have tough/weave yet...can't imagine how bad end will be then!

True, I haven't gotten into seriously using IO sets on any of my characters and since I don't mind playing at lower levels I'm not all that excited about losing all of the set bonuses I'm buying. Even Frankenslotting will get limited by ED but at least it'll likely be limiting other aspects than just damage with the same number of slots.

Quick guide to frankenslotting in my sig. Cap'n Canadian used to have a VERY good guide to frankenslotting (search for "Cheapskates") but it might have broken when they changed the forum software.

Well that depends on what you consider to be ED cap. I always thought of it as pre-ED 100%. For me the math doesn't work out for 4 caps in 5 slots.

Two dual aspect IOs is equal to 1.25 single aspect IOs, three triple to 1.50 and four quad to 1.75. A level 50 Schedule A IO is 42.4%.

100% pre-ED would then be 2.36 Level 50 single aspect IOs, 3.78 Level 50 dual aspect IOs, 4.72 Level 50 triple aspect IOs or 5.40 Level 50 quad aspect IOs.

So to cap 4 aspects you need 9.44 slots for single aspect, 7.55 slots for dual aspect, 6.29 slots to for triple aspect and 5.39 slots for quad aspect IOs. While quad aspect comes very close, I don't think there are enough quad aspect IOs in Acc/Dam/Rech/End Rec and even if they were they would have to be level 50 IOs simple to come close (pre-ED 92.75% for five quad Level 50 in 5 slots).

Now pre-ED 92.75% is nothing to sneeze at, it'll give you 91.3% post ED on four aspects. But I don't see you hitting 100% pre-ED in four aspects for five or even six slots.
