Absolutely, your point holds!

Rad Armor also gets a taunt on a Scrapper.

Nice call out, haven’t done a character with one yet!

Shame on me for leaving out those attack sets 😂

I’m thinking of rolling a Highlander inspired toon! Would love thoughts/ideas from you all. What archetype would you run it on? Primary I know is pretty much either Katana or Dual Blades. What secondary do you think fits best? I was leaning Electric Armor, but I think you could make a few work thematically (Rad/Willpower/Invuln/Etc).

Elec/SS and Elec/MA Tankers I feel are some of the coolest thematic heroes, period.

Honestly, BOTH those combos sound like a lot of fun. KM can fit a lot of themes. My KM/Ice has everything colored blue and white and is kind of a "Cryomancer" like Sub-Zero.

haha nice man! I'm gonna have to dig my Elec/Elec Sent out.

Haha, you digging the changes?

I know EM is pretty classic for it, but I wasn’t even thinking about Stone. Gonna have to give it a look!

Since you’ve ran a few /Rad scrappers, any primary you’ve enjoyed the most with it?

Absolutely. It just is so layered. Yes, resist sets aren’t typically optimal on a Scrapper… BUT Rad Armor meltdown gives a larger damage % buff on scrappers that Brutes and Tankers don’t get. I’m not saying it makes it a BETTER choice on Scrappers than Brutes or Tankers, but it is something to think about. Also, pretty much all primaries seem to pair with it nicely. I’m looking at rolling a DM/Rad or Claws/Rad myself. Hell, the new Fire Melee may pair with it pretty well.

Absolutely. I love that they’ve brought everything up to be “running with the pack” (although some are more towards the front haha). Hell, I love Kinetic Melee, even though it’s one of the lower performers. My KM/Ice Armor Scrap is one of my personal faves. FM seems like it will fit together SUPER well with Shield. Rad Armor seems like it could pair nicely as well. Stone Armor seems to go with everything. Although I agree with you… the lack of a taunt aura hurts it.

Any specific secondaries you think pair well with it on a Scrapper? Or the usual suspects?

Thought about this combo, but on a Defender. Really cool concept.

I appreciate this so much! Any specific incarnates you’d recommend?

FF/Sonic seems pretty cool and thematic.

I could see this combo absolutely neuter tough targets.

Water blast is just a TON of fun. I do actually have a Water/Cold Corruptor, but I colored the water black and it looks like he’s controlling shadows.

That is a nice bit of synergy there!

Thanks Ig! It does some pretty busy. Coming from a Scrapper/Tanker main, I’m sure it’ll seem even more so 😆

Appreciate this Myshkin! The fun factor definitely seems high for this combo.

First off, forgive my LOTR cheese 😆 Anyways, recently had baby #4 and gameplay time has been pretty low haha. I can get on later some evenings now, and I’m looking to slow level a Defender (or possibly Corruptor if the pairing is better there). These are some combos I have in mind, and I’d love to hear other’s opinions (or suggestions of other pairings!): Elec/Elec Defender: I hear it is a bit more difficult to pilot, but that it brings a TON to any team. Really good for tough content. Thermal/Ice Defender: Just a cool concept. Ice brings some safety and Thermal really seems like a Jack of all trades. Elec/Thermal Corruptor: So I just saw this build posted the other day and it seems like it’d be an amazing Sapper, while still bringing good buffs/debuffs to the team. Fire/Kin Corruptor: Seems like hell on wheels! Probably pushes to max Corruptor damage, and most teams love a kin. Water/Storm Defender: I could see this being a total end hog… but an offensive powerhouse for a Defender. That being said, not sure how it’d fair in team environments (I tend to team a lot), or in the new HM content. Would love to hear thoughts/suggestions!

How do you like the updated Fire Armor on Tankers?

How is everyone liking the new Battle Axe and FM so far? Seems like they could both fit best on a tanker. To be fair… almost everything seems like it fits best on a tanker these days 😂
