I do love me some Soul Drain!

Of course my friend, enjoy! Leveling one myself, and the combo is a ton of fun.

@Lazarillo shared their build for Time/Rad with me in the recent thread of mine, and I think it’s a wonderful base to use.

Fair enough! There a Defender recommendation thread over in that sub, if you have any faves you want to share there 😉

On that note Impervium… what is your favorite/what do you think some of the strongest scrapper combos are? =]

This was Hyper's original response to Krazie's first post. This was Krazie's response to what was said above. It doesn't take a genius to see who was coming off more hostile/aggressive right off the bat. Right now, Krazie is basically the dude on the sideline telling everyone on the court what they could do to improve their jumpshot, but than never actually showing their jumper lol. The name checks out.

This seems like a blast. A Thunderous blast.

Yeah, my Shield/Rad Tanker is obscene. I could see Shield/Nrg being just a crazy, probably trading some of that AOE for better ST. Claws/Bio might be in the running for best damage on a scrapper. Maybe not for ST, but just all around. I do agree with the Dark Melee/Shield scrapper though. Just pretty classic and very survivable for a scrap. Only one I have at 50 lol

True, but I just don’t see myself taking Fire Armor on a Scrapper.

How do you feel it’s damage compares to the classic EM/Bio? I could see Fire , with proc’d out burn, really allowing this combo to tear through mobs while still taking down AV’s because EM is EM lol

Honestly, Savage/Stone does seem like it’s be pretty powerful haha

I love Savage/Bio on a Brute for all the dots. It seems like Savage/Stone would be a similar experience haha

That’d be part of the fun 😂 You know, not that it is THE top tier brute, BUT there is one powerset combo I found that really shines on a Brute: Savage Melee/Bio Armor. Both Savage Melee and Bio have DOT’s, and those DOT’s are pumped up by fury… so it ends up being a ton of orange numbers that really allow you to tear through mobs. Pretty fun as well.

Absolutely, I love how safe the Water/Cold plays, and it does great against tough targets like AV’s. Slower on mobs though, which I’m sure is where the Fire/Kin thrives haha

Missed seeing your posts Darkir! I love your Water/Cold Corruptor. How do you feel it measures up to your Fire/Kin Corruptor?

I’ve run a Fire Blaster and a Water Corruptor, but I’ve never touched Ice. That could be pretty interesting to pair with time. Do you feel DP works so well with time due to the flexibility it provides with ammo swapping?

Hi Linea! Love your Time/DP build, and used it as a base for my own. I'm thinking of Time on a Defender.... are there any other blast sets you'd recommend with Time, or that can match DP? I was looking at Rad Blast for their PBAOE goodness, seems like good synergy there. Time/DP might just be a very synergistic/optimal pairing.

+1 to this. /Cold is outstanding for late game content. I have a Water/Cold Corruptor myself, and the guy is tough. Love Sleet + Whirlpool with Scourge ticking.

Haha sorry if I missed it! Looks promising. I’m sure it’ll be a beast at 50.

Haha no not Shield, I love it too much!!! 😂 Interested in your thoughts on the Dark/Stone scrapper! I’ll stay tuned.

Sorry @00Troy00, this has now become a Taunt thead! You ever settle on a powerset combo?

Yeah, torn between running it on a scrapper or a Tanker. Have never done a Stone Armor hero before. I know it’s a classic tank set, which is a plus for Tanker. That being said, I have several tankers and one DM/Shield scrap 😂 How do you feel Stone Armor is stacking up to the other top tier armor sets like Shield and Invuln?

I’ve run this combo on a Scrapper and it’s very good. Could see it working very well on a Tanker.

Looking forward to your non granite build! Or at least ones that just have granite an “oh crap” button =P Have you played the new Stone Armor on a scrapper? How do you feel it fairs there?

So I’m guessing Stone Armor for a scrapper has no taunt aura?
