Hello,

I am a Dual blades/Willpower scrapper. I have the T4 rebirth radial epiphany for the destiny slot and the T4 melee core embodiment for the hybrid slot. The T4 rebirth radial epiphany puts my overall regen rate at 2270% and with the T4 melee core embodiment added my regen rate goes up to 2542%.

My question is whether adding the T4 melee core embodiment is overkill for regen? Or should I add assault instead of the melee for the added damage bonus as mine current dam bonus is only 2.5%?

Thanks for the help.

For damage bonus you will get %10 passive damage bonus from assault and up to %75 damage bonus when toggle is on. Toggle assault usually rests around 3 stacks most of the time because of hit chance and moving around so it is like %45 damage while it is on but at best it is olny up half time so it gives around %22.5 damage increase unless you are fighting an AV and it is not runnig away alot than it rises to %37.5 dps increase (except passive bonus). Since you have agility and not muscularate (which gives around %32.3 damage increase on powers that are over ED) taking it may give you a good edge on damage but it is a lot of hastle to keep track of it. Especially for a DB who needs to keep his combo up (if you are using them)

If nothing else I suggest support for its passive boost and a little bit from all instead of assault for a DB/WP. Also I have a db/wp too and I didn't need agility if you took it because of endurance discount I suggest taking cardiac instead since it also increase damage resistance.

Remember that the regen bonus from Rebirth tapers off - 1600% at the start, but after ten seconds that drops to 600%, and twenty seconds after that it's down to 400%, and by the last half of its duration it's giving 200%. So Melee's bonus is not quite such a drop in the bucket as it may appear in Mids. Also, as Werner says, the resistance is nice.

Whether you should get Assault instead is a totally subjective question - any decent scrapper has "enough" offense and survivability for most purposes long before getting Hybrid, you don't really NEED more of either, it's just a question of which you want to get even better at. If you're really torn, you can just craft both and swap between them as desired.
