Let me be the first to welcome you to the exciting new world of Scrappers!

What are you looking to get out of your post? You didn't specify anything in your post. Did you just want the people here to give your build the once over and say it's good or not?

Two Big Suggestions that help us:
Post what you'll be using your build for (i.e. PvP, PvE, Farming, casual play).
And how expensive of a build (expensive, non-expensive, medium expense build.)

Also, what you want to build for DMG, Recharge, HP, things like that. After we know these things we can comment on your build and what you might need or what direction to go is best. *Cheers*

ewww. it feels bad being a nooob.

i want this tune for pve, not farming, and i don't want to be limited by cost in the long run. part of the fun, to me anyway, is the adventure of completing the build. i guess i'm wanting to know whether people think i'm on the right track..or maybe that i'm missing something important about scrappers..

i have read the main scrapper guide on the forum and i've spent a lot of time thinking about it. i guess i'm hoping the build will give me some flexibility in terms of endurance hogging and survivability, but i love the thought of running around and doing swift massive damage.

so, maybe my message was a little premature, but I would love to know what everyone thinks. good or bad, as i've never had a scrapper.

Always, always, always post the data chunk with your builds.

The links do not work well for everyone. Copy pasting the build can cause errors.

Easier it is for folks to import your build in to their Mid's, the more willing they will be to comment on it.

It looks to me like you got that build from a pretty old thread. Stamina is now granted for free, and invention sets add a lot more to a build.

Try to find a Willpower build on these forums and adapt it to fit with Dual Blades. Just attempt to keep the same set bonuses when you switch the melee set. Post it here and we can help you improve it from there.

Going along with the ease of importing to Mids', there is no reason to use the long forum export. I find it annoying to scroll past when trying to get to a specific post in the thread. Short forum export is fine, but please include the data chunk also.
