BS/WP: What Can It REALLY Do?
Before I start working on a build, what power pools and epics/patrons do you favour (if any)? Anything you're particularly not keen on, such as Super Jump pool? Do you have the 60 month vet badge?

Full potential? Iggy Kamakaze soloed the ITF no temps, no insps, no deaths with a Katana/Willpower (same difference). He also soloed a pylon while surrounded by two full RWZ challenge spawns (total of 6 L54 bosses), then finished off the spawns, again, no temps, no insps, no deaths.
So what I'm saying is that you can get some amazing survivability out of it. It's one of the best in that regard.
Damage? Eh, not so much. But it doesn't suck.
It's a great combination.

As Werner said, it's capable of some amazing stuff... however, I admit that my BS/WP made me wish I had made it Kat/WP instead.
Wow.... very impressive!
Kat/WP does seem better, but there isn't a chance I'm changing Outback. His "Broadsword" is the gladius that I RP as a "Knoife"

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Hey mates, Outback here. My main, "Outback," is a BS/WP and is all-and-all rather good. Not the best, but he holds his own.
However, I have only partially IOed him, and at that, only semi-cheaply. Seeing that I have a Mac and don't have Mids, plus I'm not too versed in all that shenanagins, I'm curious... what CAN a BS/WP really do, at fully potential? I'm talking pretty much anything, what are the numbers, is it really a good combo of powers, anything it's better at then most builds, ect ect... I plan on devoting all my info $$$ into maxing him out, just curious what the end results might be.
Cheers, and appreciate any help that spawns here forth.

Note: I don't like using Purple IOs, so heads up on that... they're just WAY too bloody expensive.
