Heatstroke

Update... Titan Weapond/Energy Aura was my first scrapper I truly liked. I just made a Shield/Savage Melee and I am enjoying that build very much. I might revisit an old idea from way back for a Staff/ Dark Armor Scrapper.

Exactly without Rage SS is not very good. And this is coming from someone with multiple SS Tanks and Brutes.

It just seems to me a set that has basically on AoE and a huge -20% defense, - 99% damage debuff, -25% endurance when rage drops would not be something that a scrapper would want. I wonder if it is that peope still think that rage is like it was back when if you double stacked it you wouldnt get the huge crash??

I dont understand why scrappers are so thirsty for SS. Its not that great of a powerset really.. Its alright but not a game changer.

I dont play scrappers very much, but trying something different. Which powers would be best to put the scrapper ATO's on in a Savagle build? I believe Ive seen that some powers wont crit because of the way they work, and again i dont have much experience with scrappers.. Thanks in Advance

/Storm... but then again Storm works with everything LOL

IMO theme is only limited by your imagination. You can make any theme, create a backstory or origin that fits for you. This is pretty much the foundation for almost everything I make. Who are you/ What do you do? Why do you do the things you do? which leads ( at least for me) why you have the powers you have. One such example Apex Willpower/SS Tank Science Origin In my head cannon. " The FIST " is an military organization ( First Infantry Shock Troopers ) whose roles is to defend Earth from various different kinds of threats. The specialize in crafting technology and weapons. Then they started experimenting with nanotech and genome projects. My characer Apex was a create of the META project. Origin: The META project. It started as a line item in the FIST project budget listed under advanced engineering. The FIST had good success with their exoskelton project yet, the time need to design, develop a battle suit, and train a pilot would never allow them to create a fighting force large enough to deal with situations like the Rikti and Rularuu invasions. META (Military Engineered Tactically Advanced) started a genome project utilizing nanomachines to attempt to create super soldiers. Apex is the pinnacle of that project. The nanomachines in his system have altered his endocrine, nervous and skeletal system granting him increased strength and endurance. His bones are the hardness of graphene giving him improved resistance. Most importantly his ability to heal damage is tied into his endocrine system. Essentially the harder he fights, the faster he regenerates. In addition when he is enraged his endocrine system pushes his already increased strength to superhuman levels. So Willpwer/SS made the best combination of powers for this character for me. Another example Excalibur Inv/Nrg Tank Technology Origin Dr. Jonas Markum was recruited into the FIST project by Colonel Joseph Magnum early in the project development phase. An expert in the fields of robotics, cybernetics and metallugry, Dr. Markum is crucial to the success of the FIST Project. He designed the Airhammer and Taser exoskeletons and assisted Dr. Franklin Deveraux with the construction of the Prime exosuit. His latest construct is "Excalibur" named after the famed unbreaklable sword of legend. A very large and powerful exosuit it is designed to withstand tremendous damage. WIth the help of Dr. Dane Hammond (aka Neutron), Dr Markum was able sythesize a rare Ritki Alloy and fuse it with Impervium. Utilizing the kinetic enegy field technology developed by Dr. Hammond, the Excalbur in conjuction with Airhammer are an extremely effective Ground-Air fighting combo. Invulnerability reflects the unique alloy the suit is made from and it is reinforced with a internal kinetic force field (making is extremely tough and durable). That same energy can be utilized for attacks.. so.. Energy Melee etc etc and so on and so on.. since there is no limit to the imagination.. there is no limit t what you can make both Thematic AND Powerful..

Elec/Shield... Stalker AoE Goodness

Disclaimer I hate scrappers. There is very little about them as an AT that I like. I understand them.. I just have no love for them. I find Brutes and Stalkers more enjoyable. I like my Arachons Widow and Bane Spider better as melee based " scrappers " better. Now THAT being said.. I have a Titan Weapns/Energy Aura that I absolutely LOVE.. The look. The feel of the attacks.. Love it.. The Weapon looks like a big energy sword.. so because I love that character to much.. I'm planning to make a companion character im thinking Axe/Shield Scrapper.. The Sword and the Shield... So that ONE character is making me think about making another scrapper.. And I HATE scrappers..

Yes they can. My Nrg/Nrg is a master of SnipeFu (old schoolers remember SnipeFu). He uses range, hover, and stealth to his advantage hence the name Airhammer. His normal range on most attacks is about 145ft. Adding in Boost Range ( which he always does ) pushes that to 194 feet, His snipe range is 390 feet. Most foes cant close the distance even with a blast before getting blasted again... oh yeah and he will cycle in power push to keep an enemy knocked down.. Different blasters will use different tools.. My old Electric, Electric Blaster would just drain foes down to zero and then he had three single target holds to lock foes down. My Rad/Fire Blaster had enough defense in the build to take foes Down fast and he had several PbAoE attacks to do so. My Arch/Tactical can stay at range enough and out of range with hover to take most things down pretty quickly.. Make sure to carry Heal, Defense and Break free Skittles.. Find what works for you and work it.. If all else fails.. Make a Sentinel LOL !!!

This 100% My Ice/Spines Softcapped to S/L/E/N Check Perma HoarFrost HP boost and Heal.. Check Chlling Embrace. Quills and Icicles Taunt Aura-Check -40% recharge to foes... check Max out Slow for Foes-Check -14% Damage to Foes-Check End Recovery tool.. Check Hibernate in case it all goes south- Check Ice Spines is underrated

Ill throw mine in.. Hope it helps give some ideas

Here is mu current build on live. With Mind Link being perma Defense is always very high. Very Fun build IMO

You cant simulate " the Power Cosmic " because it is simply whatever you need it to be, whenever you need it to be. Just make whatever you like.

Here is my build that Im playing right now.
