It's NOT a leveling build though.
It look similar to what I was building, save you skipped slice for grant cover which does save slots, but it makes exemplaring to level 20 or lower painful.
My biggest problem is I can't seem to get perma hasten(which is needed for the hack->HS->hack->disembowel attack chain if I recall correctly) and get softcapped defense.
I was thinking of rolling a broadsword/shield defense scrapper, a) because I really like the aesthetics, and b) I like all the knockup/down from disembowel, headsplitter, shield charge, and spring attack.
Unfortunately, I'm not used to scrappers, so I'm not good at picking their powers and slotting them, and I don't really know how to get a good build. In mids whenever I try to softcap def without using parry, I find myself unable to get a good enough recharge to make a good attack chain, and my regeneration and resistances go largely ignored.
I suppose what I'm looking for in a build is maximum survivability while still having a decent attack chain, and preferably spring attack. What are some suggestions for achieving this?
