Electric Melee Scrapper - Maximizing ST DPS


Auroxis

 

Posted

So, I have a Ele/Shi brute I absolutely love, but I have a buddy who swears by his Ele/Shi scrapper. I'm not opposed to re-rolling a scrapper as long as I can maintain the same (or better) single target damage my brute can put out due to Gloom being as freaking awesome as it is. With this build I have in mind for my scrapper I was thinking maybe a FB-CI-JL-CB-repeat rotation to try to squeeze out as much DPS on a single target as possible. Currently on my Brute I go GLOOM-CI-JL-CB and I can kill pylons in around 5 minutes with a non-saturated AaO and no pets. Here is the proposed build (cost isn't an issue since I can gut the brute of these parts). Also, I will have T4 Ageless, hence the Stamina slotting.

edit: Before people chime in "lol want ST DPS go DM" I build to maximize my weaknesses in a set. I'm fully aware ST DPS is not Ele melee's strong point. Thunder ******* a mob followed by an AOE shield to the face is ridiculously awesome though.

Keep in mind Mids displays the wrong numbers for Fire Blast on scrappers(It's actually doubled, hover over the numbers for details). If you were to proc out Charged Brawl it would likely have better DPA than Fire Blast, and then you could go for Water Spout instead with the CB-CI-CB-JL attack chain.

As a side note, I'm seeing some potential issues with endurance consumption. You would pretty much have to go Ageless in order to avoid them.

Brute (because of Gloom) and Stalker (because of AS) versions are generally better for single target damage, though I haven't checked numbers with /sd. I really doubt you would beat your brute's time with an elec/sd scrap. However, Scrapper AoE damage should be better because the pet damage cap is the same for all AT's, and Scrappers get a higher base damage on the pseudopets LR and SC.

@Pas: No its not you, you whiny little ****. <3 It's ClassH. He loves his Bob.

@Auroxis: Thanks for the feedback, and yea, all my melee characters are pretty much guaranteed to go T4 Ageless, this character (if made) would be no exception. My only issue with proccing out attacks is the loss of a set bonus.

@Micro: Thanks, that is what I was feeling also in regards to Gloom. My Ele/Shi brute already does amazing AOE (only outclassed by my SS/Fire brute) and does respectable ST damage considering the powerset combo.
