Need advice - about to respec

AF_Bill · 04-09-2012 10:52 PM

Greetings folks,

I just finished taking my scrapper red and I'm about to add shadow meld. I'm wondering if someone can take a look before I make the change. My goal is to bring him back to blue, thus I would like to get the respec done right.

thanks for looking

Looks good to me! The defenses look great; with seven toggles (4 from Willpower, Tough, Weave, and Maneuvers) I PERSONALLY think you could slot Quick Recovery and Stamina a little better. Maybe take a proc out of Quick Strike, Smashing Blow and/or Dark Blast?

Then again, I like perpetually sustainable endurance builds on my characters so I don't have to worry about blues in long fights. My main runs the four WP toggles, Tough/Weave, CJ, Sprint and even Focused Accuracy nonstop and (barring a Malta Sapper convention) virtually never runs out of Endurance. Your particular mileage may vary.

The Steadfast: KB in High Pain Tolerance is unnecessary, Indomitable Will covers that. You could replace it with the Steadfast: Res/End, a generic resist IO, or just move it somewhere else.
I'd trade the slotting on RttC and Fast Healing.
The slow proc in Dark Blast is minimally useful at best, IMO.
Overall, looks pretty solid, though.

In case you aren't aware, you retain patron pool access forever once you unlock it, even if you return to blueside and respec there.

Thanks for the feedback.

As for endurance, Im planning on going with Vigor or Agility for my Alpha so that will not be an issue.

I will look at trading RTTC and fast healing.

The slow proc in Dark Blast is minimally useful at best, IMO. I think youre talking about the chance for build-up. Of course I agree, but just thinking that when it does go off. Wow!

Now this.

I did not know! Fantastic!

Again, thanks folks!

I meant the Dark Watcher's Despair proc. It only goes off one time in five, and even when it does go off, the effect is negligible. Some extra damage slotting would be better, or at least a more useful proc.

I just noticed that the accuracy in Quick Strike and Smashing Blow is kind of alarmingly bad; you won't have a capped hit chance even against +1s outside of Power Siphon. You could trade the knockdown proc and the Hecatomb: Dam/Rech for, say, a generic acc and the acc/dam/rech?

Yikes! I missed that.... ok... changed...
