Katana / Super reflexes interface for solo av killing

I'be heard that I'm going to want the damage half of the procs but I was wondering if I would be better off with reactive's -resist or diagmatic's -hp. Or is there something better? I already have a Achilles proc in gamblers cut and if i went reactive would I want to swap Achilles with a damage proc? I've heard strange things about the way -resist stacks such as it doesn't. Sorry for any strange typos as I'm writing this on my phone.

For top end damage, reactive is the way to go. The -HP is limited to 150 per stack which is insignificant when fighting an AV. Personally, I'm looking at spectral to stop runners when fighting normal spawns. I hate the lack of taunt aura on most scrappers.

You heard incorrectly.

-resist will indeed stack, but it depends on the source.

For example, the Achille's Heel proc will not stack with itself, but it WILL stack with other sources of -resist, such as that found in Reactive.

If you have the cash for it, you can also slot a Gladiator's Fury -resist proc, that will, again, not stack with itself, but it will stack with other -resist abilities.

You can potentially have -40% resistance from the two procs, and whatever Reactive maxes out at.

Alright then! That is good to hear. Much appreciated for all the info from you two.

I might pick up spectral as part of my second build which will be my general mob killer full of cones and pbaoes. It's funny how often i end up having to be the one to run in and take the alpha strikes for the tanks that can't (Although I still need them due to more enemies = more chance for them to hit me) so I could tank when there isn't one available.

I wouldn't bother using Spectral for stopping runners. The immob has a fairly low chance to fire even at T4. You're probably better off just picking up Provoke from the Presence pool or Confront from your primary. Or just hitting them with a ranged power since runners are almost dead most of the time anyway.

If you want something to help tank for teams when there isn't a real tank (or when they suck) then you want the one that does -ToHit (Diamagnetic?) since that will help you and everyone else avoid getting hit. Void Judgement's -Dmg tree is also pretty useful for teaming and AV soloing. However, Vorpal's +Def tree is interesting if you don't have DDR since you could avoid cascading defense failure by kicking everything in the face. At the same time.
