All around powerset for solo play?

So I have been doing some research, and lookin around. I am having a problem teaming due to time differences (long story). So I have been narrowing down my search to a good solo AT that can level alone relatively quickly.

So I have narrowed it down to the scrapper, and possibly a brute. Leaning towards the scrapper though.

So here is what im lookin for:

1) ability to solo. I dont mean the whole "Well anything can solo". Im looking for something self sufficient, and relatively quick, with relatively low downtime.

2) ability to kill groups of enemies, even if thats not til later like level 50 (by groups I mean like +0x5 or more) (I guess farmability)

3) Team play. I know I said i am looking for solo play, but thats primarily because I Have a hard time finding groups with my time difference, and odd hours of play. But when team pops up, and I have time, I jump on it.

4) I guess a feeling of being super. :P




Those are ranked in priority of what I am looking for. I currently have a level 19 StJ/SD scrapper, but seems to have end problems, but its not too bad.

What other powersets would you recommend and why? Also, what are the drawbacks that you see to the powerset?

I give you a soldiers thanks for the help (yes I can do that lol)

Your SJ/SD is exactly what you're asking for. At least give it a chance until 22 so you can begin slotting SOs or effectively frankenslotting. At 22 I filled out my SJ/EA scrapper's attacks for damage/accuracy/recharge/endurance of approximately 90/30/40/50 and it made all the difference in the world. He went from being exhausted after every spawn to being able to tear through half a mission before having to slow down a bit.

awesome! Thanks for the response

I do have one question though. Im not sure I get the numbers you threw out there. The 90/30/40/50.

Would that be like.......... Heavy blow (dmg) (dmg) (acc) (rech) (end red) (end red) ??

I'll suggest a Katana/Willpower for an easy leveling experience. Katana has good St and aoe damage and parry to make willpower even more sturdy. Willpower only has one power that is a click so no redraw problems from being a weapon set. The good defense/resistance/Regen of will power will mean almost no downtime.

That was my approximate recollection of the enhancement values I got from frankenslotting his attacks, i.e. using pieces from different invention sets without regard for bonuses. I got all of the attacks I'm using five slotted and then chose triple and quad enhancements and I believe a dam/end and acc/dam per attack. Off the top of my head I don't exactly remember what I used because one of my goals when frankenslotting is to do it rapidly so I pretty much will buy the best available level 25 enhancements when doing it at level 22.

I like to do it at 22 because level 25 enhancements are where the values really start to become appealing, and it also just feels traditional to expect a character to be kind of weak until level 22 since that used to be the first time SOs were available.

Aha, here: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Frankenslotting is a better explanation of what I was groping for above.

I'll have to second this opinion. There's a lot of talk about Street Justice right now because it's new and shiny. Really any Scrapper or Brute would be able to do what you're looking for. This particular combo of Katana/Willpower is a well tested and very solid combo.
