Ss/sd

Okay, so I'm looking for something that can solo just about any team content except for TFs and given my experience soloing with Super Strength I know it's a great set.

However, prior to Going Rogue the super damage heavy Shield Defence would have been a no go due to endurance issues with SS, but now that I can Cardiac out this build I'm hoping it'll work.

It's a split decision between this and Dark Melee due to DM's self heal. So I'd appreciate any tips on which you guys feel solos better and any relevant builds for either paired with SD that you solo with.

Thanks a lot!

i have a dm/sd scrapper and a ss/sd brute, the scrapper is pretty awsome and hardly ever dies. she can even do carnies, malta and cims with little problem at all.
the brute is in need of some serious update love as he has not been respecced since the botz nerf, but even with that he was still a killing machine, when i do respec the brute i will be going the cardiac also.

here is the planned brute build, if you want the scrapper i can post hers also.

That's true, but I'm so intensely lazy that I can't be bothered to transcribe builds built for one AT to another in Mids. I'd rather just make them from scratch than do that. Lazy, I know.

I'm thinking that despite its insane DPS, SS/SD would rely to heavily upon passive healing from regeneration and 'kill them before they kill me' strategies to stay alive solo. That's the issue my Claws/SR brute ran into. Siphon Life offers a nice opportunity to get around that.

that is absolutely true, and im really to lazy to re-roll my dm/sd into a brute now lol. i guess the good thing is, is that i have both a dm/sd and a ss/sd toon. amd to be homest, i do have a 26 dm/sd brute, but im a serious altoholic so she just sits there lol.

Ugh, I know what you mean. Whilst it's wonderful that this game has such a ridiculous number of potential AT combinations, it's a serious cause for altitis! Every time I get a character to the mid 20's I think of another combination I'd like to try...
