Nice! That sounds like a sweet combo on a Dom. Time just seems like it does a lot, but I wasn’t sure if it’d handle the best on the top content since it is kind of a Jack of all trades, master of none. Power boosted defense seems awesome though. I have a Time/DP and a Time/Rad Blast I’ve been messing with. Not sure which to IO out.

Thanks for this! I’m thinking of trying to run a Fire/Kin or Elec/Kin. I hear Kin is super clicky. What are your thoughts on it?

Thanks for sharing this Darkir. I modeled my Water/Cold Corruptor after your build! Some questions on these: For the Dark/Fire combo, why would you suggest that on a Defender over a Corruptor? I’ve also looked at Kinetics, but on a Corruptor. What blast sets would you pair with it? Time seems SO good on Defenders… and is just overall a cool set. Do you know how it holds up in the new HM content?

Elec/Elec has been my fave so far. I’m a big fan of Water Blast… I hear it shines pretty decently on a Sent. Any secondaries anyone would recommend? I was thinking /Rad, /Regen or /Energy.

Sav/Elec is an awesome concept!

I have a Savage/Bio Brute that is very synergistic… I could see Sav/Rad being the same!

haha this brought me flashbacks. I think BS/Regen Brute was one of the best PvP classes back in the day.

*Crosses fingers they do all of the above for KM*

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.
