Funnest/Nonthinking Scrapper

ok,

Kids sucking brains out...wife...sucking brains out...head hurts. i want a scrapper that can kick the crap outta stuff...without doing alot of number crunching brain hurting exercises. I want total butt whoopin redneck style fun that just whoops everything in site...is that asking to much?

Im tired of thinking.

Yes I know I have alt-itis. This is the last one I ask about I promise (crosses fingers)

Probably Spines, or Claws with /wp. /wp is definitely the secondary for mindless killing.

I completely agree with Willpower for pure mindless killing. Not sure about the primary. Spines and Claws have attacks that work best at different ranges, so I think they can take a little thought to play well.

I guess I'll go with the old standby - Katana (or Broad Sword). Willpower works best in melee range. Katana pretty much requires that you stay in melee range, plus makes an already solid secondary even more survivable. However, it's not so great at AoE, so it depends on what you mean by whooping everything in sight.

If you want good AoE, but without all the dancing of Spines and Claws, maybe Fire? It won't add anything to Willpower's survivability, but Willpower is pretty good on its own, and Fire just has nice damage output all around - single target, burst, AoE, it has it. Maybe not the best in any one category, but I think a very good combination of all three. It's probably particularly tasty with the Fire epic for Fire Ball, and Willpower will give you the endurance to allow you to take that instead of Body Mastery.

So... survivability = Katana/Will, damage = Fire/Will. Those are my recommendations.

The simplest scrappers are the ones I tend to like best.

Fire/willpower is hard to argue with. Fire does huge damage, willpower is very tough. For an even more worry-free existence, grab the body mastery epic.

No range bands, no fiddly defensive clicks to fool with, just run up to bad guys and start wailin'.

For fire melee, I'd say skip the cone (too much thinking to aim the darn thing), ignore the confront and build-up(fripperies you do not need), and just max slot whatever attacks you decide you like.

Willpower is simplicity itself: Log in, turn everything on, start hittin' stuff. Just ignore those green and blue bars up there, if you faceplant it's just that much more awesome in your tally.

As a bonus, with good sets tossed on fire/willpower is ridiculously durable and a serious damage machine. Mine farms adequately, runs tf's like a well-oiled machine, and can rip through pretty much any content you set before him.

All without a single thought entering my head.

It's bliss!

I'd probably go ahead and take Build Up because I'm a fan of burst damage in regular missioning, but it's true that it's just one more thing to think about for not a huge benefit, just a decent one. So yeah, it's optional, and can be skipped for maximum mindlessness without seriously gimping yourself.

I'm going to go with Martial Arts. No cone to worry about positioning, no parry to remember to use, and most of the attacks are single-target and hard-hitting (assuming you skip Thunder Kick). Just click and kick the ever-loving hell out of whatever's in front of you. I find it satisfying.

Claws/WP is pretty much a mindless buzzsaw of death.

Well guys/gals thanks. Decided on Kat/Wp. Working on a build now. I had a concept that fit that. I thank everyone for your input.
