Claws/SR is a classic, but I'd personally suggest Katana/SR, as Divine Avalanche will smooth out the ride until your secondary kicks in, which is fairly late in the game on a Super Reflexes. Katana isn't as good as Claws or Dual Blades for AoE, though. Depends on what you're looking for, I guess. Really, they're all good.

I think Katana will help you get through the lower levels easier, Dual Blades will give you good AoE and better mitigation at higher levels (Through KD, not that /SR really needs any help), and Claws will give you better damage.
Dual Blades is pretty endurance heavy though, so I think DB/SR could be hard on a lowbie!

So I guess my choices are Katana, Dual Blades, and Claws? Do any of these go along with /SR particularly well in terms of gameplay strength (keeping in mind that I don't try hard at all to minmax, here)? Or can I pick one and be happy with any of them? Thanks! |
Kat/sr. By far the smoothest ride to 50 of the three. If you just want something to get to 50 and aren't really going to invest in the build a bunch, I would go with this. DA alone will save your butt a number of times as /sr develops.
Claws/sr. It's a nice mix of everything really. You get a nice ST chain. You get AoE. You have two powers that offer mitigation and both of them can be used at range. It's like Kat for me in that it's tough to say anything bad about the set. It won't be as smooth in terms of durability, but it blooms early in terms of offense thanks in vast part to Focus. I can also make a case that it could be more durable than Kat, but you'll be waiting until level 32 to get that type of mitigation as where Kat gets it's big mitigation tool at 8.
EDIT: I forgot to add Claws will be the most end friendly of the three.
DB/sr. DB is similar to Claws, but has more offensive potential versus lesser mitigation. The good news is you can soft cap with /sr so you may not really "need" much more mitigation than that. I vastly skip the combos outside of the AV one. Sweeping Strike is seriously one of my favorite melee attacks in the game and that's without it finishing off the AV combo, or getting a crit. Granted, my other favorite melee attacks are basically in Claws and Kat.
In short, I really do like them all so if you have a concept for one that sticks out more than another, go with that one.
Alright, I think I'll give a Kat/SR Scrapper a try then. Anything I should know about power selection as I level?
Thanks!
