Here is my scrapper one. CoulCromathraxium - Scrapper (Spines - Stone Armor).mbdd probably be switched fairly easy.

Defense is lower than in mids too. Did half an ITF and he played super solid though. So that's good.

Built in game. For some reason my smashing resist ist over 90 and the letal is 85. Which is fine. Unsure what is going on really. Know mids has s/l equal when they aren't, but unsure why both high. I haven't made barrier yet.

I don’t really know yet. Being runnning MJ on 53 teaming. Stuff dies too quick to matter. I also put the lockdown chance for more hold. I’ll run some more today. The random thrown together build I have now while leveling is good too so not a huge rush to respec I guess.

Also, anyone tried the Contagious Confusion proc in Auro of Insanity? Seems like its low odds being confuse, but when it is it would spread? I'm gonna try it until I respec anyway.

Regen might be better with the resist to -regen it has now. Maybe though. My only 50 brute, until today, was staff/wp. Only thing that ever killed him was huge -regen debuff. Staff helped some with the +def attack though. WP was for sure better before. Like hands down no argument better. Maybe close now? I tried a tank with regen but deleted. Wasn't regen's fault I just didn't like the pairing I chose with it. Made a brute instead that is MA/PSI and it is a lot of fun. The regen on it gets crazy high, speaking of regen. Haven't respec'd or played since I just hit 50. Stupid yard work. Aura of insanity is crazy good. Can't wait to get the hamis in it. Want to run an all PSI armor ITF and see how nuts it goes.

Please see build. Let me know what ya think. Hit 50 today! Wasn't really going for defense but kinda fell backwards into decent melee defense. S/L/P resists are at 85% so will be 90 with barrier that I plan on taking. I'm gonna make it pink to fit with world of confusion. He has been really solid leveling up. Hasten is 12 seconds from perma. This isn't counting the FF proc in dragon's tail. I imagine it will be close to perma or maybe 5 seconds off??? I usually aim for 5-7 at most down time and think this will get it there. Kilty Pleasures - Brute (Martial Arts - Psionic Armor).mbd

Got me. I did MA but mostly just cause I like MA and don’t have it on a brute. Dark stacking fear might be ok but the t9 power isn’t up that often. Guess any stun/hold/etc stacks with tha aura randomly. Ice melee might be pretty good to stack -recharge

I'm liking it much more on a brute than scrapper. The cone on consume psyche was annoying. And imposing presence just seems WAAAAAAAY better than mask presence.

Looks crazy good. I have a psi melee tank. I love the animations while hovering. Much more animated I feel. While standing just seems like your whole torso down barely even moves. Just me though. I tried the PSI pet and didnt' like it. Seemed like a lazy lil f'er.

Awesome news.

Just played some today. The GIANT RED POP UP MESSAGE is already super annoying. Like do I really need to know only first target affected, twice? Seems like it's always twice. And do other players need to see it? Just a nuisance really. Set plays fun though.

Maybe just letting others know they can save themselves three powers.

I doubt you need rune of protection at all. I’ve never taken on a non squishy, much less a tank. I bet the incarnate will be plenty of o shit button and barrier. Frees up 3 powers too.

Time Defender to help prop up all the new tanks.

And is the other MM ATO set that bad? I don't see it at all.

Little necro, but any updates on this? I started one today and not familiar with MMs at all. So will likely steal the whole build.

I'd love for the scrap drain to be pbaoe instead of a cone.

I might try regen/kin. The minus damage is less for regen to heal from. And I have yet to successfully make a kin melee toon I liked. I usually don’t, but made a chick toon. I figured if a half naked chick doing animations didn’t help nothing would. The toon is dead now though.

I’d give scraps the pbaoe and not cone foe the drain psyche. A cone is generally annoying and avoided on scrappers.

I can’t see a world where SS isn’t the best. All the knockdown. Both want crazy high recharge. Footstomp proccing the damn ff proc. It seems like the next easy super new meta build. An easy choice and will be the most popular choice. Makes it boring for me. And I already have an SS tank so probably wouldn’t make another myself. I’ll try regen and something I’m sure. I’m more pumped about trying brute with new psionic. Maybe scrap if they don’t make the one power a cone.

I ended up with a fire/dark defender that named him blood mist. Red and black.

Once 50 offensive 99% of the time. Leveling up efficient is good though if teaming usually don’t need any of them. But yeah using carapace before you need it is ideal. Other two as needed. I almost ditched mine a lot leveling up cause of end issues and being fairly squishy. But it’s one of my favorites now and have a lot of scrappers. It’s a fun combo.

Just play scrappers lol

Forms have a 2.5 second cold down. Problem solved. Long enough to cast any self buffs you were gonna do. And long enough to keep glitch mode players from spamming huge sounds and visuals non stop
