There is a reason why claws is the best set ever. 😛 It does "yo, what is happening" single-target and does crazy AOE to boot. Also, it exemps better then any of the melee primary. Doing a Synapse with claws isn't a nightmare because of Spin. When they changed spin/slash to more than just garbage, they buffed the living heck out of the set years ago.

😘 And no, but EM isn't. It's close, but after today's patch nerfing scrapper epic snipes, not sure I really want to crunch the data again.

But factually, it isn't. Is it really good? Most definitely. And Hew, it's your fault the Moonbeam craze even happened. 🙂

It's top 5 ST DPS now for scraps, if not top 3. Not number 1 though.

I've done all of the combos except for tanker. Honestly, one of my favorites melee set combos. All three definitely are forced to have altered playstyle differences, Each one, really felt like it highlights the differences with the three ATs. I built all three very similar (as much as I could). You can definitely feel the squish factor as you go from Brute - Scrap - Stalk. Regrdless of which AT you go with, you will be the OOOOOOH AHHHHHHH WOWWWWW on your team. Now, the SUSTAINED damage difference between a brute and scrapper isn't that big, but the stalker version? Umm....that's a different story. Because of ass strike, electrical melee on stalkers is pretty wildly crazy ST damage too. All three make entire mobs disappear, but a stalker is going to be able to solo an AV before you bore to death (assuming you can take a hit and live). Honestly, this is one of the combos where you really just need to weigh what you value more. Al three rock. side note: I used to farm with my brute. I wouldn't do that with my scrap/stalk. sider note: Thunderstrike is awesome.

I absolutely remember the Arma set/proc, with the PVP -Res proc going in jacob's ladder. Tier 1 and 2 AT proc in ass strike. Best placement for the tier 2 AT proc? I dunno. I reasoned to myself it was.

God no, not Mu. Now that I think about it, I wasn't using an epic at all for the chain. I would have to go back a pretty far ways for me to find the chain. I know it involved: ass strike, charged brawl, jacob's ladder, and chain induction. Can't remember the order though.

I was able to get 2 minute runs with Elec/Nin stalker. I am positive you can get mid-low 1s with elec/bio.

Swapped procs and edited my chain sequence for the EM/BIO/SOUL. Average 1:22. Had a really low run that I had to double check to see if was legit. Was legit.

Finally got to try a EM/BIO/SOUL scrapper. Averaged 1:32 after a few runs. It could definitely be better with more practice. Just did about 5 runs, enough to disrupt a MSR forming I wasn't aware of. lol woops

Electrical Melee Your Lightning Rod doesn't break hide. LOL. Pair it with Shield for Shield Charge then Ass strike the EB dead. Have fun!

Blinding Feint - Abalating Strike -Sweeping Strike - Abalating Strike BF slotted with scrapper crit chance and gaussian build up. AS slotted with resistance debuff. SS slotted with resistance debuff. I've gotten mid 1 minute pylon times with this chain on a DB/BIO. Low 1 minute pylon times with BF MB AS SS BF AS SS AS. I've gotten high 1 minute times with DB/ELA. I'd take a guess you could do do low 2 minute times with DB/EA.

I have REALLY enjoyed a DM/BIO/MB scrapper and a DM/RAD/SOUL brute. The brute was damn near unkillable and that wasn't what I was going for. And it was incredibly end efficient without me trying.

I've got a lot of DB experience. I can absolutely say ignoring combos is how you get the beat performance out of it. That's annoying, cause the combo system for DB is pretty fun, but that's the truth. Before the EM changes, DB was the second highest ST damage you could get on a melee.

For sure put the scrapper chance to crit and gaussian chance to build up in follow up. Those go off and numbers go WOOOO.

It's fun down here. There is cake.

You wanna play wih procs? 😄 Holds that do damage can take a LOT.

FollowUp-Moonbeam-Focus-FollowUp-Slash-Focus. It's how you get low 1 minute times with a claws/bio scrapper. FollowUp is sort of necessary to get the most out of claws performance. Also, that is a really weird statement to say in this thread, where DPS > All. I can definitely see utilizing FU can be useless for some playstyles. FollowUp gives +tohit! "Can't hit, can't crit". Tohit directly subtracts from a thing's defense. It's 1:1.

I like being right. Thanks for doing this.

The ST hold proceed bombed out, blazing bolt, and some other single target fire attack. I just know it wasn't flares. I theorized a dark/fire/ice would be faster ST dps due to the ST hold cast speed, but I never got around to testing it out due to the fact plant control on a dom is just to damned fun.

So I did all this about two-three years ago, before TW got the nerf bat. Pylon Times and Personal Rankings. No lore/hybrid/temps used. 01. Scrapper TW/BIO/MA 0:52 (wtf) 02. Scrapper DB/BIO/MB 1:21 03. Scrapper TW/ElA/MA 1:23 04. Scrapper CLAWS/BIO/MB 1:26 (FU-MB-FOC-FU-SLASH-FOC) 05. Scrapper TW/ENA/MA 1:30 06 Scrapper DB/BIO/MA 1:31 (BF-AS-SS-AS) 07. Scrapper DM/BIO/MB 1:54 08. Brute TW/FA 2:05 09. Dominator Plant/Fire/Ice 2:08 10. Scrapper DM/BIO/MA 2:09 (MG-Smite-SL-Smite) 11. Scrapper WM/SD/MA 2:11 (CLOBBER-SHATTER-JAWBREAKER) 12. Brute TW/ElA/MA 2:14 13. Scrapper DB/ELE/MB 2:20 13. Brute SS/FA/GL 2:21 14. Scrapper Kat/Ele/MA 2:27 (SD-GD-SotW) 15. Stalker ElM/NIN/MA 2:34 (lol) (CB-JL-ASS-CI) 16. Stalker StJ/ENA/MA 2:35 17. Blaster Ice/Mar 2:38 (BiB-FR-IB) 18. Brute SS/BIO/GL 2:39 (KO-GL-HM-Punch-GL-KO-HM-GL-HM-PUNCH-GL-KO) 19. Scrapper KM/SD/MA 2:51 (CS-SB-BB-QS-SB) 20. Scrapper IM/SD/MA 3:02 21. Scrapper FM/SD/MA 3:08 (GFS-INC-FS) 22. Blaster Fire/Atomic 3:25 (Blazing Bolt-Blaze-Fire Blast) 23. Brute Rad/FA 4:04 24. Scrapper ElM/SD/MA 4:14 TW honestly was pretty boring since it just out DPSed everything, but mechanically it was pretty fun. EM/SD looks neat! Is Bio Armor really going to get the nerf bat? I really enjoyed it's hit'n'run style it encouraged on a scrapper in offensive.
