The ability to crit seems amazing. I have a Shield/Elec Melee combo on a Tanker, and have heard that it is great on a Stalker… these changes seem to really swing positively for the set on a Scrapper.

Kinetic Melee is getting buffs?! Edit: Just looked it up. Excited to see some changes coming to it as well as some of the other sets!

I do need to try /Psi Armor myself. Seems to have a lot of tools on it's toolbelt.

This is great info thanks! Aesthetically, I’ve always wish I had the option to turn OFF the pure being of energy/electricity Power Surge makes you. Not that it looks bad at all, just would be nice to have the option haha

Sonic Melee? Dear lord I’ve been out of it. That sounds sweet haha.

Been a while for me. Elec/Dark Melee and Elec/TW were some of my original favorite Tankers. I understand Elec Armor had some changes? Seems they were for the better?

If we throw having a taunt aura out the window, how do you feel /Stone Armor and /Bio stack up to each other both in terms of toughness and offensive ability?

Specifically dual blades. I’m trying to get my Daredevil on =P

@SomeGuy has an awesome Elec/TW Tanker build. It probably go even better after the recent Elec Armor changes. I’m sure the combo would fair fine on a Brute, although I’m not sure which would be more “optimal.”

You have the Water/Bio build floating around Sov? Seems like an AWESOME combo. Edit: Scratch that amigo, found it in another thread. Thanks for throwing it together!

@Sovera well I’ve been looking for a flying “tank mage” archetype, and might just have found it haha. To clarify, I don’t mean for them to truly tank. I just mean a sturdy ranged character.

Tell me a bit about Psi Armor and why you like it so much!

It is still pretty shocking to me that KM hasn’t been updated/changed in some way (coming from someone who really DIGS KM and its style).

How do you think Elec Armor/SS is gonna fair after the changes to Elec Armor?

While this is true, what they said isn’t wrong either. Completely depends on the content. This is why people like @Linea build extremely tough scrappers for upper tier content. Especially if you cycle specific defensive powers. You just need to find the break point of DPS per min for the content you want, hit that and build tanky from there. Doing any DPS higher than that is a diminishing return. That being said, this is mostly for solo content. Doing 4*/Aeon stuff with a group? Just go all in on damage since your team should be cycling barriers anyways.
