Secondaries for Dual Blades

I want to make a new Dual Blades Brute or Scrapper, but can not decide on a secondary powerset. A Scrapper would better utilize Dual Blades due to Blinding Feint, but I would like a taunt aura which only some Brute versions of the various secondaries have, (e.g. Super Reflexes).

At the moment, I am leaning towards a Dual Blades / Energy Aura Scrapper. The combination of high defenses, defense debuff resistance, extra recharge, and endurance drain seems yummy on paper.

Which secondary powerset with a taunt aura (either Brute or Scrapper), best synergizes with Dual Blades?

Not quite following what you mean here. Did you mean to say only some Scrapper secondaries have a taunt aura?

Yes, I think that is what they're talking about. For instance, Regen and SR for scrappers don't have a Taunt aura. But the Brute versions have one.


As for pairing with DB, I like Willpower, since it has no clicks to interrupt any attack chains you might be trying to work in. But Energy Aura or Invuln would also work well.

Think he means he wants his scrapper to have taunt aura.

Meaning:

Invulnerability
Willpower...kinda
Shield- Won't work here
Energy Aura
Bio- Maybe?

Throw in Agility Core, Preemptive Interface(maybe) and Mu for Elec fences and you can actually play at sapper. At least, it should deny mobs their big attacks.
