I know I'm playing one, but I really can't recommend all swords unless you really, really want it. The AoE can be good, but the single-target DPS sucks for a Fire/Shield, and won't be buffed much by fodder because you'll be destroying them too fast with Fire Sword Circle. Also, you'd need Fire Sword Circle to recharge in 5.67 seconds to avoid gaps. You're not even close when Hasten is up, let alone when it's down. All swords takes huge recharge to do sad DPS. It's a pricey exercise in self-gimpage, only to be undertaken if you have influence burning a hole in your pocket, really really want a fire sword chain, and don't care about ultimate performance. Turns out that was me, so I'm running one. But seriously, don't do it!!!

Yeah you gave me the idea!
lol.
But perhaps your right. I might just have to rethink this. But then again I dont have anything else to do with my money
Well IM gonna mess around with it tommarrow and have some fun.
I was actually lookin at the Kat/Dark scrapper I saw you had. But I'm not sure I could work my way through. Ive started a couple dark armor ones but the end usage kills me. I love the concept always have just could never wrap my head around it and stick with it
.
Well, in I17, I was just about endurance sustainable. Then things got wrecked in I18, both endurance and defense. I think I can fix it, but my DPS goes down a lot. I may wait until I19 and see what I can do.

Well if the influence is really burning a hole there's always the alternate build plan. Spend oodles on two builds, one more "serious" and one with lots of swords.

And don't get me wrong. Mine's not even finished yet and it's great fun plowing through crowds with it. But then tonight, I decided to check my DPS on a pylon. It was going pretty slowly, and I was popping both blue and green inspirations. It looked like I'd probably run out of inspirations before I ran out of pylon. Then I failed to take a blue in time, detoggled and died. I am teh ubers! Fear meh! |

So yeah. It's just not one of those Scrappers.

Well please let us know if you fix it. I have had a a concept for a kat/dark scrapper (or a couple other things still playing wtih it) in my mind for awhile now. id love to see I19 make it viable again
Here is the build I came up with...of course I have a sick child and a loving wife not giving me peace. So I know sure as the sun shines in the daytime that I screwed it up. Ill post it now and work on it tommarrow. Was tryin that "all swords" build..not sure if that is working...we will see
