THISSSSS You never know if the person on your team in what looks like a Random costume can carry the whole team on a +4 TF.

That's exactly the reason why I have it in GFS. Yeah, the potential burst might not be as high, but I come from a "consistency" mindset with DPS. If this were PVP though... I'm sure you saw what I was averaging. I was getting more than a few runs under a minute without hybrid on. That wasn't the average. If it was I woulda definitely been "whoah, this needs to be scaled back". I never did runs with Hybrid active, but I assume there is no way it's not crazy.

They're all good. Play what's fun.

It's not. You say only T2 and those are already your times. That tracks with what I was getting with my Fire/Bio/Soul on Brainstorm.

LOL this is what I did for my Ill/Cold controller (in terms of blind slotting). Obviously slightly different because of ATO procs, but that's it. 😄

Now this is interesting as all get out. Really simple solution. I dig it. A lot. I just ctrl-click hasten and call it a day. I have a tendency to leave mez-protection stuff un-clicked until I need it since you can still cast them durng whatever it will break you out of (or cast it right before I jump in to a fight). What do you prefer to have auto-cast?

Blazing Aura is vaping in their face but it smells like cotton candy. Mass confusion.

That T9 is a good set mule and never put the power on your bars! I totally remembered when they first announced it was going to be a new set in CoV. I was super stoked. When it launched, oh man. I was super dissapointed.

I dunno man, Electric Armor is just awesome as hell thematically and play wise. I just wish it had a taunt aura on scrappers. Electric Armor is one of my personal fav sets. So...I'm biased 😄 Performance wise EleA really does do well. I'm honestly surprised more combos using it don't show up. And on Brutes/Tankers it is REALLY good. Rad Armor feels like a mix of Dark Armor and Bio to me. I definitely used to active fire farm with a TW/RAD scrapper. Rad Armor and Electric Armor are both AMAZING options. Now that I think about it, a ELE/SS tanker would be pretty damned hard to kill and poop out good damage. Does the tanker ATO1 proc go off in the PBAOE aura? If so...that would be whoah. People don't tank in to account the amounts of different types of debuff resistance Electric Armor gets.

Who knows. Just one of my quick takes on it.

Was curious, made a thing. Claws/SR has a lot of extra slots. Wow.

Condolences/congratulations on realizing Claws/Regen is dead. It was my first toon also, and I stubbornly stuck with regen for a long time too. I scratch my head at people trying to defend it's performance, but if someone enjoys it, then boo yahh. Go for it. It's like someone trying to tell me they're vegan for optimal athletic reasons. Umm, no, tiktok lied to you. I work with professional athletes. I'm an expert on this food thing, absolutely not, that's not how science works.. Regen is this game's equivalent of being vegan for performance reasons. Soft cap positional defenses. That will be easy on x/sr, Not sure what else your goals are, but personally I chase enough recharge to run the chain I want. Once I hit that, I get that sweet sweet resistance and then raise my max HP. Layered mitigation with those priorities. Regen (or HP/s) should be priority last on anything you play. You're better off making sure you can make things dead faster.

That's personally a tough question for me, but I'd have to give the nod to my Stone or Energy scraps for it.

Just keep in mind that Scraps cap resistance at 75 whereas Tankers/Brutes cap at 90. That's a big big difference. Like, my x/rad scrappers are almost all capped to SL resistance BEFORE meltdown, so I'm really just keeping it on cooldown for that sweet sweet damage boost when its up. Granted, it boosts all resists so it's pretty darn tootin' nice for other stuff too.

Man, I just really like Rad Armor a lot for some reason. Yeah, resist oriented sets aren't the most ideal thing on Scrappers to me, but I really enjoy it. I literally just completed my BA/RAD tonight. I just like the FM/SD pairing a lot cause of the costume/concept goes with it sooooooper well. SD is another easy one to love, but man is it normally really hard to build for.

Usual suspects. I just ran my numbers paired with x/bio see to how it measures up to everything else. I know when I EVENTUALLY get around to making one it will be remaking my FM/SD. There isn't a "bad" primary any more after this last update. That's baller.

Fiery Melee is stupidly high ST DPS now. It went from no-tier all the way to top-tier.

Honestly, it adds enough for Bio levels of damage. Big drawback for ME personally is Stone Armor for scrappers lacks a taunt aura. As for pairing? I don't see how it wouldn't go well with whatever you like to play. Obviously the PBAOE aura is going to really help a ST oriented primary a lot, but it helps everything.

Tanks for this. That would still be a ridiculously fast time without the amps and hyrbid on.

Was Hyrbid on or off? Also, this is funny, cause I was rolling around the idea of doing a Ill/Fire/Ice dom. I have a Plant/Fire/Ice one but it sure isn't smoking ST stuff that fast.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you. And I'll reiterate. You don't agree with my testing method? Nothing stopping you from doing it yourself. Your "feel" that a maximally saturated Soul Drain has never been proven to be the bees-knees when it comes to DPS. For anyone reading this, the % of damage boost is what matters. I've definitely had good results pairing DM with Rad on a Brute. I currently really enjoy my DM/BIO/SOUL. I don't like how squish bio is, but the other offensive powerhouse option would be FA to help with the AOE, but there isn't a taunt aura for scrapper FA. Stone Armor is another REALLY good option for boosting AOE and overall offensive output AND being pretty tough, but it wouldn't have a taunt aura either.

Don't think. Just punch/stab/kick. Repeat. Get yelled at in team chat for not listening.

This says wayyyyyyy more than you realize. Moonbeam and Zapp are exactly the same animation/arcana time and damage. Open up mid's or go to CoD and see for yourself. Look, if you don't agree with the way I collect data then go do them yourself. There is nothing stopping you making whatever combination you want on brainstorm. Don't sit here and tell me I'm wrong because your OPINION doesn't line up with my data. Show me I'm wrong. Also, quote or tag me so I actually know you referenced something of mine. And considering I have VERY little patience to debate with someone trying to tell me I'm wrong via their OPINION with no collected facts then I suggest you move it to DMs.

This is an understatement. Someone can post the build they use to achieve certain things, but if someone is performing 50% less (or more) it ain't gonna happen without some practice or coaching. There are going to be some universal similarities in all top-end builds of those players, but they will still likely be very different due to playstyle.

Brawl.
