Hey, sorry, I don't know a "ton" about some things with IO's yet and I'm just getting back into this game so I need to refresh up...lol, but what PvP IO are you referring to that is really helpful for a Shield Scrapper? And you can save up "merits" to get this IO? Are they those story arc merits that you can redeem from merit vendors? I'm wondering because I have a shield scrapper who desperately needs a bit more defense than he currently has |

What worries me is that once I start slotting SO level enhancements its just going to dilute noticeable effect of the minor damage buff this power is giving. People have been saying it can give up to 150% damage but it sure as hell doesnt feel like it even when you get it to 5 stacked up. My goal is to eventually do a Km/Shield but I gotta save up enogh merits for the pvp IO so I can get more defense.

My guess is Gladiator's Armour: TP Protection and +3% Def (Resist set) bought using Alignment merits. Assuming that the Steadfast Protection: Resistance and +3% Def is slotted aswell in the build.|

OT: I've made a KM/Regen Scrapper and I wasn't impressed, probably because I don't like Praetoria...
Power Siphon gave me a noticable damage boost (I didn't have enough recharge or attacks to do alot with it at the level I got to)
The -Damage I didn't notice though... but I hadn't got burst to do it in an area.
If you want to make a KM/Shield, you should try making a KM/Shield rather than a KM/Regen... The PvP IO won't really be neccesary for a few levels (When you stop slotting other, more important enhancements.)
