I see folks struggling to soft cap Willpower from time to time, so I thought I would share my build. With the onset of enhancement converters, this is becoming much more feasible for the more casual player. I was able to respec into this build without purchasing anything but the Gladiator's Armor, which I picked up for a relative song (225 million).

I present my favorite scrapper, Happy Feet. (for what it's worth, I believe he's actually older than the penguin) As the title of the thread implies, I favor the Kinetic Combat Knockdown proc in my core attack chain, which means that in addition to probably being stunned, immobilized or confused (Cognitive Interface), his foes are usually also flopping around on their back.

He's a very fun hero to play, with respectable single damage output, decent AoE capacity for regular game play, and spectacular survivability.



As mentioned in the title, this build is soft capped with a Tier 3 Total Radial Revamp Agility Alpha equipped. It also features 62.5% global recharge (no hasten), and always has a top-shelf attack at the ready. It also manages 10 toggles (including sprint) and continuous attacks with no endurance concerns.
