You could easily play each to 20 and see which is more fun. The xp buff helps a lot. Play whatever is the most fun. They will all be good on teams.

Sr is crazy tanky. Any super easy. And does the same with one enemy in melee or a dozen. Doesn’t directly boost damage but the 20% recharge bonus helps save tons of slots elsewhere if chasing perma hasten.

Stone/stone.

Anything is good with /ta.

Stone is tankiest but without IOs for run speed I wouldn’t bother. Run sr/ma. With the defense bonus from storm kick you can likely get to 45% without weave. I always take combat jumping on every toon just cause I hate playing without it because of the movement bonus. I’d still get tough though. It isn’t required but helps against most stuff that does hit. And you can put the two plus defense procs in it. Even if you only SO everything else still take those procs.

Spines/stone

I just prefer the animation. End is fine. Mids doesn’t account for the performance shifters and panacea proc.

Here is mine, it's a spiderverse homage. Spider-Thrax - Scrapper (Street Justice).mxd Spider-Thrax - Scrapper (Street Justice).mxd

Here is what I'd run on a budget. Accolades are turned on as they are free and help with end. End still looks high on paper, but mids doesn't take into account the three performance shifter procs or the end from the panacea proc. You're end should be fine. Have musculature t4 turned on as well. Could always switch to other T4 musculature and sacrifice a lil dps for end mod. Probably more expensive than your build but still no purple or snow sets. Having a couple snow sets would really change the ease of soft capping defense, but they are super expensive, of course. Would also likely get fire/cold to soft cap too.

I hit 50 and have alpha t4. Tweaked build I previously posted. I’ll post final one I’m playing later if anyone cares. It’s pretty solid. Undecided if I’ll go barrier or the heal one.

I do the first two attacks and impale for st. I don’t like eviscerate so skip it. I take throw and burst for aoe. If you like eviscerate you could use it instead of impale. Or snipe is cool. I take the snipe on my main but think it’s the only scrap out of 10 or so that has the snipe. I like having focused accuracy for ITFs when they get large mobs and stacked defense. I might also be addicted to physical perfection with performance shifter and power transfer procs. Really helps end and the heal is cool.

I have a brute staff/wp. I like staff. It’s fun. I’ll have to look at stalker. I think innocuous strike is the one I hate the animation. It’s the angry push broom animation I call it. I skip it on brute although it’s a fine attack.

You can put same two set iOS in a bunch of powers. Unless they are unique. Leveling up I just put whatever is cheap or use SOs and click the upgrade button. I’m not much of a stickler for money as I have a bunch laying around and play the game way too much.

Mudots is a great place for tank set that has the plus resist. It will always ge single stacked and sometimes double. I slot taunt sometimes on tanks/brutes/scraps but just depends. Sets have really good bonuses but usually slots better elsewhere. Depends on build

Assuming the below build is one you found, it is for endgame stuff, in granite. I've ran without granite, as build, and it still does fine for most stuff. It's expensive, but psi doesn't matter and run speed in granite is fine. Damage isn't great. But it tanks like no other. Leveling up, I'd put two-three defense so/io in the shields and one end rudux. Attacks, one acc/dam/end. Just take taunt. Cause you're a tank. And your job is to tank, so take the taunt power. Super Thraxen 2023.mbd

With two damage auras, and the boosted plus fire from stone, the st damage will be fine.

1. Not great but it’s fine. 2. Yes, it’s awesome. 3. Two damage auras are the reason to play these together. Should be great. I have a spines/bio that is probably my second favorite just because all the crazy take damage.

Here is my elec/regen. Still not convinced regen just doesn't suck, but this is the only regen toon I've not deleted. And yes, had scraps and brutes to fully incarnated and IO'd and still think regen sucks. Anyway, this might be worth some ideas for ya. Shocker Thrax redo after notes.mxd

Took some more time since I'm now making one myself. It doesn't have a travel power. Maybe some more ideas. Immortal Thrax - Scrapper (Katana - Willpower).mbd

While we disagree on regen's ability, you have inspired me to make an homage myself.

I just think wp fits more. I'm a huge highlander fan and it just seems more fitting.

Do the two click heals need accuracy for pve? Can't seem to find out for sure.

Got through first couple missions just now before shutdown. Pretty fun. Challenging too. I had it set on +4/8 and it as by myself. Don’t see all the spelling errors. I’ll finish it later today if say. Real fun but can’t withstand my main, the true vampire. He is savage/inv. Did have to use cooldowns which I normally don’t have to use. Good stuff man. @Snarky might like it he seems to like vamps as much as I do

Sign me up. I’ll be home and on test at 8 est. i have two accounts and can alt tab between. Does it matter what level toon is or anything?

Ill/storm is good for some damage.
