Nice man, I do feel Ice Melee is underrated

Nice man! I know Fire/MA still holds the Brunker title, but would you still say Fire/Ice is your fave/most enjoyable combo, at least currently?

PSSSHHHHH What does this Sovera guy know about Fire Armor??? 😉

Loving the suggestions so far!

I like your style! 😛

Thanks so much man! I've run EM/EA, which is a ton of fun. Might switch it up from that. Both Dual Blades and Claws look amazing. Would you recommend one over the other, or are they pretty evenly matched?

Claws does seem to do it all. Bio seems like it can just ramp up it’s strength.

Great call out about EA on a Scrapper!

I could see that hitting like a truck as well. Mace also have decent AOE?

Yeah that makes sense! It seems EM/Bio would be THE premiere single target killer and , ahem, “arrest” AV’s the best. Claws probably has much better AOE though and will clear mobs faster.

Forgot to mention Dual Blades as well.

Hi all! I'm looking for a great, all around Scrapper that can 4x8 endgame content when built out and allow me to put the hurting on AV's! I've rolled one scrapper so far, a DM/Shield. While very strong, I've also run several Shield Defense Tankers and I'm just looking for something a bit different! I was thinking maybe Claws or Katana matched up with /Bio or /Energy Aura. Both seem like they could be well rounded. That being said, I know there is a lot of awesome stuff out there! If anyone has any power set combos they'd like to recommend, or builds to share, I'd love to hear/see them!

WOW

This build looks phenomenal, ty man!

Hey Blasters! I’m a “melee” main who is returning to the game after a few months away. I’ve always been envious of Blasters just demolishing a room, so I thought I’d give one a shot =P I was looking at either Fire/Elec or Fire/Time. Fire/Elec I’ve heard is one of the premiere “in your face” blapper combos. That could be attractive to me, since I’m mostly melee type player. Fire/Time seems like it has some nice synergy though, with some -Regen that could probably help it melt AV’s. Any advice or input on these combos would be appreciated! Also, if you have other power set combos that you feel make up a God Blaster, please feel free to throw them out there!

Appreciate this man! Are there any particular primaries you think pair well with either /Bio or /EnA?

Necroing this a bit @Sovera! I’m still in search of a scrapper to play, and I thought this Claws/Bio combo looked really solid. I know you’ve been playing some other scrappers as of late as well. I’m torn between going Claws/Bio, Claws/EA or matching either /Bio or /EA with Katana.

I’ve been taking a break myself Sov, but reading this… you’re re-ignited my passion to get in there with my Fire/Ice Tanker (no pun intended)!

We’ve missed ya Inf, and grats on the new career!

Oh no worries dude, I just wasn’t sure! I haven’t rolled an SR yet, will have to give it a shot in the near future!

Loving this thread! Excuse my ignorance though: what is SB?

These are great insights, thanks all! Are there any primaries you’d recommend to go with Electric Armor on a Brute? I know Claws/Electric is a classic.

Very good point as well. I was just wondering why these things seem to make it shine on a Brute over say, a Tanker? I guess the fact that some of the resist sets you might have trouble capping on a Brute, without giving up too much damage. Might not be the case with Electric Armor!

I keep hearing that Electric Armor really shines on Brutes. Can someone share the reasoning for me? I was looking at it, and my guess is that it can hit it’s resist caps fairly easily (even on a Brute). Which I guess means you get some serious tankyness, while also maintaining the potential larger damage a Brute can dish out?

Haha 😂 honestly so true, Time/DP seems to be a very popular combo!!! Rightfully so, it seems. I’m hoping to level 2 Defenders up just so I can compare play styles. Torn between TA/Archery and Storm/Water for my second one. Probably leaning a little more towards Storm/Water.
