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

Yeah, they don't fire often enough and I don't have spiritual yet either so will probably scrap them. Or maybe rework without spiritual but it seems good. Maybe the one with -to hit and damage.

Maybe this guy? I'm not sold on the heal procs either, but might try then. If they don't work out will free up 3 slots though. I dont' think the 4th slot in maneuvers or second defense in shadow fall were doing much so threw it somewhere else. Dark Gifted - Defender (Dark Miasma - Fire Blast).mbd

Yeah, he is a vampire so thought heal chance might be fitting. I've never really tried them before.

First pass at new toon. He is 42 already. Any cool tricks to slotting Dark Servant? Any notes appreciated. Dark Gifted - Defender (Dark Miasma - Fire Blast).mbd

Not the same but ninja secondary has blade options and can use energy blades.

Yeah I may again. I didn’t like it before when I tried it on tank. I have a bio/dark tank I like. Skipped the end power though as it’s not needed. He is 50 and done. I think dark might just be better on a tank with easier ability to get high reaists. You have to have capped resist. Heal has to be up often. Have to have some slow resists from sets. Seems like a lot. Have to get kb protection. Either skip clock of fear or crank up acc. one day the concept will click and I’ll deal it. But lightning hasn’t struck yet. I did make a vamp toon tonight. Storm/dark corr. Covered head to do in full white to reflect the sun. Works in my head anyway. Dracula makes some pretty stormy weather on the book and some of the movies. Unsure how I’ll rationalize dark servant. Maybe a vampire servant in most form? I’ll get there I guess.

I've already scrapped him. Made it to 30s, but I just don't like DA. Unsure why I keep trying.

Yeah, end is f'n horrible so far. Just hit 32. Here is a rough first pass. Between Cardiac, panacea, and two perf shifters I would hope its good once 50. We shall see. Probably too many ff+recharge. Might forgo hasten and slot up for more resists somewhere. Cursed Thrax - Brute (Battle Axe - Dark Armor).mbd

Anybody got a good one already? Trying to figure out how many times I need the FF+recharge to get hasten perma. Seems like hasten is almost required for using dark regen as needed. Maybe not.

Just finished a spines/stone. Spine attack adding two dots is a lot of numbers popping up.

Only needed to pull off others. Reduce range of mobs. Control aggro. But yes moar damage. Or just play a scrap. Cause moar damage.

I’d take taunt since you’re playing a tank class. But fuck it more damage!!!!

Sentinels can’t get to 95% ddr either. I prefer regular version of sr myself.

I would proc out ko blow but not footstomp. Aside from the ff +recharge one. I like using it as often as possible. And the end cost is high if only procs. And can still use it during crash to keep the ff proc active. And ko blow all proc’d out is still fine during crash as well. I usually read someone’s fortune or combine inspirations during crash. Still use footstomp. You’ll likely be fine not dying. Still using footstomp is good for mitigation as well.

Get combat jumping and weave. Two plus defense uniques. Makos bite and touch of fear are good for defense. Obits too but end sucks on it.
