Doom! I tried an all human Peacebringer, but mine came out underwhelming. I know you have the Mids link, but Mids isn’t jiving with my Mac right now. Would you mind copy and pasting your build to this thread? Would love to give another all human PB a shot.

I always appreciate your insight Linea! I guess I’m just always looking for optimizing 😂 all 4 of the sets I mentioned could probably work with /EA. I already have a EM/EA Stalker, which is probably my strongest hero overall. Might try a scrapper. Just curious, I always like StJ, but have trouble figuring out optimal attack chains. What attack chain do you use, for melee and AOE?

Thanks for all this Linea! I’ve felt like /Eng Armor could be a good contender here. Follow up on this: do you prefer the Scrapper or Stalker? And which primary do you feel would go best with them? You listed EM and StJ, would you say those are the premiere ones? I could see Claws/Dual Blades being nice as well.

Haha I love it. You read my mind, I was going to ask how you felt it stacked up to the new /Stone. I guess /Stone will output more damage, and it does have SOME endurance management. And nice! EA has a taunt aura, even on scrappers? I could see that being a big push for EA over Stone, if you plan to solo a lot.

How do you like DB/Energy overall as a Scrapper? Seems like it could be a good combo with all that recharge.

Nice man! I've always felt that that WAS the negative for /Energy Armor, not having -regen or damage aura for things like AV fights/pylon runs. However, with the +recharge on it, I feel like I can outpace the regen on AV's at least with my Stalker. I know Linea was going to town on his 801's with an SR and a Shield Tanker. I think Stalker has been his latest project. Energy Armor might be the best all around suited armor for the task, now just to decide what Archetype to try it on 😂

Yeah, I’m a huge fan of energy aura (wish it was on tankers 😂). Was thinking of giving this a crack with my EM/Nrg Stalker. Contemplating making a DB or Claws/Eng scrapper and give it a whirl. Although, do you think a Brute would do better at soloing it due to their aggro aura? I’m also wondering how the new Stone Armor would fair.

Electric Armor or Energy Aura? I’m assuming you’re talking about Electric, just wanted to double check!

I'M TAKING MY BALL AND GOING HOME! 😂

Sorry for the delay my friend, but here is the basis for my build below! @nihilii is the mastermind behind it, so all credit to them! I did some slight adjustments with slotting that I felt suited my play style better. I also took Cardiac instead of Musculature, in order to help deal with endurance issues (this power set come is an end hog). Between this and @Linea's Shield/Rad build, you should have a great starting off point!

Shield/Rad or Shield/DM could also work. Both bring a reliable heal to shield.

I've thrown it out there a couple of times, but I LOVE my Savage/Bio Brute based on @Darkir's build. The thing is a buzzsaw. Both Savage and Bio have DOTS in their kits, which are both pumped up by a Brute's Fury. It's very synergistic and you end up seeing a ton of orange numbers going off over your head as you melt through mobs.

OOF that is a good call out haha. Did the latest build you post account for this, or is that the one you need to re-work?

Awesome build man! I have a Dark/Shield scrap myself. I could see Dark/EA being EXTREMELY tough to take down.

Very interested in this build man! Mids isn’t jiving with my computer right now, would you mind copy and pasting the build in this thread?

Not at home atm, but I’ll shoot you the build I used as a basis for my Shield/Rad. @Linea also has a beast Shield/Rad build. I believe it is less “proc” oriented and more focused on survivability.

Throwing the suggesting of Shield/Rad out there for obscene, unkillable beast. Proc’s out IG really helps you melt through mobs, and Rad Melee adds a fairly reliable heal to pair with Shield (if you’re looking for something other than /DM).

Great point. Looks like if I ever run a stone scrapper, I’ll go with one of those sets haha

Fair points. Is not having an aggro aura a reason why you’d prefer Stone on a Brute or Tanker compared to a Scrapper? I guess that really only comes into play if you’re soloing.

As I have been leveling my own claws Bio, this has been my feeling. Stone does seem like a nice medium, but than I think…. Why pick it over Shield on a scrapper? Shield seems to have as good of defense/resists, better DDR and brings a lot of damage with AAO. I might be missing something.

Forgot about that. I could see that being a big thing if you planned to solo a lot.

This sounds very promising. I wonder how the times would be on a Scrapper with this powerset combo.

True. Shows were my brain is at, running in pure offensive 😂

Seems like it could be a nice middle ground for all content. During the ride, do you feel it has much more survivability than Bio?

Yeah, I’m interested in seeing how some /Stone builds play out.
