Ahh apologies, I didnt see it at first glance. Appreciate the advice! 😄

Hmm...what would you suggest going into Radiation Therapy? As for Fallout Shelter, yeah I see where your going with that. (Would the Impervium Armor IO from Tough then go inthe Proton Armor? I think I might keep the Soul Mastery as it does kinda fit in with the character concept.

Oh man thanks for pointing that out...I was "Shouldn't this thing have something to help out with the -Def or something?" I knew I wasn't going crazy...well more so then normal I guess. Also yeah, I did put in the -res proc in my build on this already. So..in an effort to rework the trainwreck and get it to a much better state...I happened across this one that looks like it had all the things you suggested. EXCEPT for beta decay. It's one slotted with the -res proc so there is that but...I really think it should have more in there and your -to hit comment really was poking me in the back of my mind. What would you suggest? I think most of the core powersets are great...its the Epic PP's that I wonder if something could be done with? |MBD;24897;1646;2196;BASE64;| |G0BhACwKbBuZfSeOBuYtPTK/LkW69uxxv6X+Mw1Ceb7B/PBSvFl0uvpCTRcpP7ppYIE| |CSp/wL8ybOr8e0aeIl8AHyIlb02R2a60bV7bTva//396c0ZFRPpQ2o1iE48TYX97Mp/| |U+qcVRFPLjSvWtSV21yHtq7lPsCgcSl41avIuNRKIyVNX7absJ6hCOcdhZM8WiVKno/| |a0/uq4WVUf+W/TjtgbKn2mxv309b4DfQ8Tq8EoeCOFzwRtTW5zF7M70Sg41pGR95LBA| |ute27r9U0APXxWiwppTSKTDb0xvUz3afnPVNz2B4w7B3LLYdMUfukInGdR+sbH2+7Mu| |l0sgNuPHkbFTzCupUpFdBu0ooTo/mi57pthXi8mXu5JSw3CrTz3LbUXkK2eUNdmnfIC| |lXMQS+TMwvnfLVhrLOjNltS+UBMiGW7JbuSL7trId2bxX6KVwoMOTRgvpcP1Cof2yJJ| |RnW2z/CuzN12c2pumVW+96fHXkeDM76MK9UMst2d8LaiW4OLwuZhwzW5/xS/ruRBbD0| |U0vFrumiw+lb3ihUtSaHODqfvzcFFfqiUEME+L+C5pMN2b/r/txDtY+cr8NuzgbdOuL| |ylX9w0+vi4HTBb5n98UV8ARRGfA0UQXwL3RUohgh9cI7bUWzTNiLtWry/ZNMlXiYWMK| |WNTf/5kMCjOOSshanrFHGUzqfMdJ00DMF2qKpA5WGw/YSMc6AIIpjjCsOssG7wiR3l5| |55c6TpXFIat0lCAorDV2tg4uDlwnne5Z61xE4aTzCfv15vS9ofROC2C4q0tQxuV7P0j| |vByCA+6Dqi9hqWpD1Yb15UK6wmVfgCLGA1lSWt154mBKDT/sVbv6yiK9eRhyHot7W3M| |6m2YxROQXErcxJMay5FEEI6+CF9fgmJZFzgTyRvspVEZkDUfWBnu5NLWWjXLWkH2PvB| |7SKrzl8UWs17Y25bJN/NxR0mg+X7pBFthK24bZVqmhhDRwJ0P/gxI4d2NIhOFau1hF6| |FKtuiXrx37SPFmpTkSl8L/eYearBAetSo6BtdJUqwWuFpU0jMLwnpbPi3GvMpHnPfpI| |DZtk63A7azq/MTkYznxKT6tTzNrUGJGCi9CNJsEYhnnPFF/YdKIgbLFcjdWiCsLBmve| |UKL4mrmQKDu8vIcowAruhiNc8Ll16dg8QtxURzQFP+s3wXEZx4skxYnHJ5CKkqyQDRm| |AvdVTIUxW5kVnLVsqOr+qVJXwqLPvxqR9qxpREmgjH6ol39zuLvp39s8CniqXj/Ejkt| |zFUH0gK2Q8jOJQ2AoVxbbe2WtXYSPwE8aCt8NZWAWOw36IktckhLccJozzgB8PvgK/4| |KvBfaTgtXJRHAxi28r/eFJROs1fMxTtMKzKia3hH9b37RdrpZuoNXcN79xRl3JoH63M| |sMLSHsDQ1QfnU/svyZHgsBzzoMc2NBkQ3DLMfabqbn0Ybx8EgwuBJ2OsPNKKC8SUR/F| |popRijfb6y59RLZ1/PYwkcWhmmY81lNq1uwm511kIMYZHtmDWMwHrgOISuy/YDW+sbc| |RNYAJD6E2dRoKK38UFuMBPLu3nOFktTgqIKbgUnnbQR8fytus+dOGMJwNICp73hakx0| |eYd9XZmRGLlHV0mBkgwYg73RzFFSdj0zOOxSMtnfJOG+CVmca+CB4Vm7aPaJ1ehKBLo| |9X8SfTTfvXjkfGm13B/I6XiYjrQqnXx5YmYqZqkvUrdlrvjnENWgDTJCEQt41qLJU2g| |h7piqxxIFBdoJdUe/uSivjaWGIIzcMt68EWpJe4xfc7VtMe9AWgVniHIY08BoC0HnF2| |p1WbA98w8Ai7TnbOeoq4zIH3kaVs7p/z6oNddXbE1C4Qmetbl3MNbAQq0D/NM9/Qrz1| |UWbGen4/wZRWDOM877OdlGhfu+ivDBOdELfsMN5VDXRjjrj9D76+RuHUiVVonXmJTFL| |9d8YQkoL2eTNOcHWYRa7jPDi/vxJdeY8S2Tez7Drlr3BkCaZezDGIsD+7IyaKxkVfvN| |WVfRlqBSV3+TyTgcDTJ3+UqnTv+t7/hWKuw8VeAZvf6Ia3MVNeJpVXzk1fe+jYegnqv| |HGGnbsPHaxFoe87ybBETv975ka9u2Ewt/NBoTKkVA6YqU8vbEO+jKj4vkOIecj7+1lv| |ytH7i1/kaXIj18o4YJif0lFQxpeux/Q0rYVJt4Al7HMlc2y6egc=|

Ahh, yep I felt there was something off with all of it. Thanks for taking the time to confirm it for me. It just felt off and as I said I felt it was doing something wrong. Good thing it wasn't just me. I never have figured out how to make a build but I HAVE learned a bit to see when something isn't clicking and isn't making sense. Now to look for a build that also is more in line with your suggestions @Maelwys. Thanks again! 🙂

Yeah, not going to roll a brute. Invested a bit too much into this one to just scrap(hah) him.

I've been using this build here for my SAV/Rad scrapper and he's currently at lvl 31 but...something about it makes me wonder if this is a good use of slots. Especially in Beta Decay. Can the forumites chime in on this build and let me know if I should be tweaking this a bit more or is it good as is? Thanks! |MBD;23712;1434;1912;BASE64;| |G59cAKwKzHNPx0wsFcxtumQev1SKdO2p6vA9tuOxHaetRBlq2JB4Hp41i05XX6fMUh6| |9LIXST+kT/oSZTfW/qvaE+nTNqh8Re5Jwj5gI491/mPnRfqmNkzEW2h2Xc3phtgAcIF| |uiPUz4XxWwPFkSEklX+UTLXbVvVK8utq7y4uJl6ioLzxip/zLsmmahpcQziPfHnjkWG| |aeid0sfPI+EaX3+WyzjMQGRPyHh9c5LvwnwQzosoSiuEsLDghOaWJzfuy9ZxmHjO13C| |+wDavVf6+oWolvo8TIFoSkac0/W0JuB+NnBz1IWexgyB371d4ZUth8uwqnHNG2tKP2f| |7Ykw6uZW+68lNkzgGr1TkBhe0CSDvEMae6enh20Z9SumyvBOWT01j6JXPHzjp1Ch7pi| |8W8GNtY/QvhF+a+JKBq5eVelhSF4BDiOnHrWdyaWst0MA21X4K56Nc5yVVfTYfVVqBr| |fZIgfVGjoyWzavs5l3dbNS+dxePMS4mR7151HQys493qrULejg4Wih5KMH+Mc9qw6Vx| |BDD3U7vm87Uuwd/ynUDVGuyg2yxmuX5A4R0QaKmdEvYYFBhxWSO+h0MfZw/A76x471H| |HEizxD9LtedglOe+/3P/InkshsUAJchkkNigklyPvZPPuQ1tYn+nesrkDb0MQy9QaxG| |9T6lHsOK102Lqh0HqAsaJMtswooHBWMiY1uvo1O2c8pirtxQ2uoNKGTO8Gz+VDnuoy+| |cWAEfklwhuYIL9CdpKepsHIkVEZwROukdT8UjlbeYfynodLNsW9a2GAmdvzheG2/ipu| |M6Tw3wYP/hfR9N6diXxUfH/b6jJ6x6Xu8u5d7PhjO8jGOBWt2qf9WbNYs68Kd1ngrez| |Dna1vHGdvctwsUVgRBQyhShEBjCGq9LQcl57qHqtQF726lIAjLXCkM8b9MN+N8L2/bG| |gxsJSjuswwhHiIPPltRxMBwN6FmgssFMtNYdIRj4iCGuP+L13WRMwIK7Sn+SJieV4fc| |8kmqcytZ6zzSsCtQYr7DwJPm1eDhYykMIDg0rJYsXX5STwO6SvzKwEzLTRT02efv900| |QSSjQpQLjBKUMimmEVPAJIpzm9cEo749ohY4Ftv0vhWMmHWTH3CkRi9s8OyBpjfKh75| |qI0A/Jl9uaQ0MycBIGwgrktPJEubxRM+h9SMRPdXKlOOso/BgJuHa1TsrUXQLLaoQ1c| |AQ6pEUpKd9t+3ww+cbFctvzG1juZmn2G4i5tWIHVes0edVYsEjM0xAfIJ4xxmmtzlUZ| |eCm8PZn8iXfOp9jWnjJ74ohvEAxP58D4QPRSYKWg9yKArTiZoZFBV4Ura/5Lq1G1ieU| |a14qX6QEFlOIaWAAZUpJ0mPNFkGWItj0a1+SDHIudHZi87pWdCLcNk7ma7EpMoyhLRR| |R2grJEjtjyQAeTMfSmdGSX0gndufGsxVrOxIaBxLRh1oZS9ddT/YeI2W/aaG4QgoYQr| |dCAhRTsorY7FWV8BzTtr+mwr3EfWC1gAvFtXcxqk1C+hAH6BGd949azqpi4EXxTqD/X| |/Mbt6I9PGQsci32M4D5FswtFqOu29ekn83nPy21OXc5Jf3tXpt8DX0mJ+qK9nqcBJGd| |jduOWeti21UJolSeEeotsMnAQx4Fg1JUlxvG0G96OkgGJr3iroWKDTmjCPhZ8fyH93F| |Y0/YFdH0qEjQcj6+iel3VC3w2Q+bTZf+8Y/tmQ4yH5dytgirVK3ErUz9c1JgH6kz+vo| |5iu04WqSvelZ34lsd5xa70Ny56YUesRbkK/g/8/NuuDzvulutaQ3d8Ta6g+8ruTDxgN| |PJnvj5P86Zrf6kNnVCMd3V6JsZeu4erVLoEP1dvgkbkozXZMgtKolXdqv2GK7hMju+v| |lqhbLcd6huCzeLGLzKHM19woFhhjTc563r0D|

So here is a build that I found but...something about it seems off. I can't quite put my finger on it so if anyone can take a look at it and suggest tweaks or serious errors id like to know what it is that is wrong with it. |MBD;23531;1424;1900;BASE64;| |G+pbACwKbBuZfSeOBuYtPTK/LkW69lR1+B7seGzHaSutDDVsSDwPz5pFp6uvU2Ypj16| |WQumn9Al/wsym+l9Ve0J9umbVI2JPYu4RYwHe/fvRfqmNkDEyxuKOyzm9MJtwkQNkS7| |QXon9VwPJkSUgEX+XZ+u6qfaN6dbF1lYmLt3WVhZCR8xy4OhauQCPyGMJ3bJthkTEqe| |jH1wVoUpvb8t5DGAwQiv4HC9s5LvwmwQ9pLISkuE8LjgjOa26LZ63cDOPwaIo4OrwNo| |93bq80dytZC1EATelIw4R8utjcD8rP/BrCs9CuEEt70t4YVLDhdhVeOCN1RSPxf7aJ4| |w4Ch5lxuLCnIKnqnIdhO0cUY8Loy90KPdjjdkpdJFeSMsHyrG1Csf33/CoFH2QvXTI7| |y0HfT+xe6X6r9oxtTLSj1EqRPALsT0vudITu1UE9R/TNHvwslcJjkoq4/no0rKsdU2y| |rHe8BHeonmW3bypm/Xa9+LiMeZAYNabeaWRmd1fq/Yp6N7gZKHkoQQ7R15U+7WxBzD3| |Xbvg89VOwd7yhYyqPdGZplmIdH2E3DqDoIV0UNh9gmD4dQ37HgZ9HN0PvyPjvUUdS/C| |Zf5Cma6FLctJ/m/2RPZdCYoES5DJIbFBILkfeSde2YVk4vaK7+zAH7mUnlqktED9MIV| |eh86klU/fDcqkdjBVltmVGAYUzkzGp0ZPfs3PEXapCX1jgCiq1R3ozeE4fcqrL7CcDR| |uSXCG9ggvwK2Ul6qgbDR3hFBAdcI6n5pXKW8g7lLQ9nHPLnlOIOZm7NV4bb+qu4TZfC| |fxt+Lv4PcJPnNATnXvH9bauhsM6XmMm7faHhj8tBLoxTUau935829Z1tVbjLCm9m7+1| |obeM4Z5XjconCiihgCFWKCGAMUaWn5vj5KWa+i2vAqkkJOMIKRzhmPAvxXgjf+EunFg| |NLOSaXGYYQD5Fnv+5oPADYTai5wEKx3BAma+LlXqzKuP+lyxqPGWGGNjZfRSxPrTGnb| |JbSXH36vkcAbg1S3H8QcGveDRYyksIAgkvLZEXPspO4G6ftiK8AzLDSDBWfc/x2UwWR| |jApRLjBKUMqkmEZMAZMozl7PCcb01oia4PjUJs8jTPesh/yAI8z0xAaPHmhao7zrq9p| |i6Mcsyy2tgSEZGGkDYUVyGlnCOB7oOSz9SERPtTLpOO4qfi4eSXjq6p2VKLqFFlWIam| |AI9UgK0lO/6z3s8PlBxfIHc2tYruYpthuIeSNC58v37HmXWPDIDBMQnyBecYRpbQ5VG| |bgpvO2ZfMp78immiZf8LhnCCxTz8zkQPhCdJGg6yM0oQDXfCC9RgRdF63O+ThuR9mTF| |zqHyRUpgMYWYBgZQppQkPaXZJxAlHGjytS5JBjlXOhuxeV4r1iK+dd6Il2JTZBhDWyi| |itBWSJXbEEtMiYoZjGecW+NrGa8TuzHh6eG5HwsKBRPShVqakayg3eveZsltaKK6QAo| |bQrZAAxZSsIrbyahL3HPOOX1PhdvA2KLWAC8W1fcGrTULaEPtp7o33d2pkZTHwonjH0| |f/v/MLNaA93GYtci/0IYL4Gc4X6zOvaNWlj8+FPDWmGVU5JW7u/j68pK5Fcw9trH7nI| |rozr41HrYltN4kSpPCLUW2CTgbs8CgalmFxuGEO/6Wkg6Z+w8rsWKjbk9CLgJ8XzH97| |XpU3aF6PLKg9mwXH3KojVyF7gKzNkPl32T5uOL9p9PKzmruVUaboSVzPkw0SNuaPO7K| |6nmWzXyCJ1+buyA99yP6/Ylf7SBSvsiLUoV8H/wM+/7frQa7Na156643NyHd13dEPgD| |qORP/H9eZoXdftjdUqyfL6LwTIx9tzdWyXSJfhp8ipoRDZasy2zoCRa1Z203XAdl4H5| |/VUTdbPlOK0u+Czejy3y1h0=|

I had a look through the builds and while I saw a Savage Melee/Rad Stalker, I did not see one for a Scrapper, which I am currently playing. Would the builds be "mostly" the same? Maybe an oversight?

I thought it would matter with the fx for Rad but so far, not really having an issue with it visually. The concept changed to a nuclear panther (not tiger) and honestly it's been working quite well. 🙂 I think I found a build to start me off but...not sure if its all that good as it is. So far I haven't had many issues but im still only lvl 16.

I've played Savage Melee briefly and it was okay but I admit I probably didnt know what I was doing in terms of slotting so it was in no way optimized, but my alt-itus flared up again and I kinda want to try this combo but my build-fu blows chunks. I don't suppose anyone has tried this combo and has a workable build for it? I am looking for something somewhat survivable but still able to push out a good amount of damage, and I know this is a res set and def is more a scrappers forte but the mitigation factors appeal to me. Influence is no object either. Of course granted this is going to be a leveling thing for the most part, but if there are going to be changes to the end game build vs the leveling build I would love some advice on what powers to skip and what are absolutely essential. Theme is going to be a blue striped white tiger guy and I am going to say that nothing really is off the table in terms of power selection.

Really appreciate the detailed explanation. I did eventually did go with EA (though really wish the heal was a bit sooner). Level 12 with him now. I do have to wonder why a lot of people though really like /Rad? If defensive is better on scrappers after all. Maybe it has more DPS later?

Also, I've noticed quite a few peeps skipping Eviscerate. Is it not a good power?

So I have played a Claws/Elec before and honestly didn't really care for it. But I do hear that Rad and EA are really awesome on a Claws build so I guess what I am asking is: why? What gives those two the big "This is really good" vibe to the secondaries? (other than /Bio but I have no interest in a /bio char.) Is it better to go for /EA's +Def with its +Res additions or go with /Rads +Res with a bunch of utility (at least from what I have seen)? At this point I have a bit of choice paralysis so if anyone can give me the bump needed to go one or the other please do! 🙂 I saw someones claws/rad showcase on the forums and it was pretty impressive but couldn't find something for /EA.

A very thought out answer though even if it was lengthy but not going to fault you for that. 🙂

Hey Sable, sorry for just getting back with you now...holidays have been quite busy. Thanks again for the build Idea! So, why is it you dont try to get the def to softcap and instead just try to hit that 32% threshold?
