FM/SD Build Critique


Draeth Darkstar

 

Posted

Hello Scrapper forums:

I am planning to finish off my FM/SD Scrapper this DXP weekend, and would like the opinion of professionals on this build.

This is both the most expensive build I have ever put together and the only high end Scrapper I have ever done. I think I understand the basic concepts well enough, but I want to make sure before I start working towards it that it's as good as it can be.

Pros:

  • Soft-capped to all positions, iCapped with a small purple
  • Perma-hasted with Musculature Core Alpha
  • Smooth attack chain of GFS->Incin->Cremate->Repeat
  • FSC on 5.39s, Fireball on 8.62s, Shield Charge on 24.25s recharge. AoE should be solid enough.

Cons:
  • No OWTS (I rarely end up using melee tier 9s when they would actually make a difference anyway, though)
  • No self heal, low (16.5/s) regen. I intend to take Rebirth Radial to alleviate this.
  • Doesn't slot for maximum +HP in True Grit.
  • PVE Stealth is only 30 ft.
  • ...And probably things I've missed.

Notes:
  • I jury rigged the Scrapper ATO set into the database to use for this, so I've no idea if that'll show up correctly when imported.
  • Hover/Fly is concept-mandatory.

All feedback is appreciated.

Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

The build isn't loading for me, most likely because of whatever you did to the ATIO's.

Reading what you say the build has makes me think it is a very good build though, but I am happy to take a look if I can get it to open.

Regarding the self heal - are you averse to dropping 2 powers so you can pick up Aid Self (If we can fit it in without losing bonus')? On my Elec/Shield I took it then dropped it, but I never really took on single hard targets so it depends what you plan on doing.

I can't figure out what to drop to fit Aid Self and maintain enough recharge and defense without dropping the Flight pool, which is necessary for my concept.

Here is the build with the jury-rigged ATOs pulled, hopefully that will make it load correctly. Set bonuses from them are: 3% Health, 5% S/L 2.5% Melee Def, 4% Damage, 10% Recharge
