haha yeah man, still so torn between the 2 primaries. I might just have to go into costume creator like you suggested and see what pops up.

haha I bet it was fun while leveling though 😛 Claws is fast and frenetic.

Oh nice. I thought, if I went with claws, I'd have to slot a KD ->KD in both. Good to know.

Appreciate this insight, ty! Good to know about the T8 and T9 in Claws. It seems like I'll get more AOE and control in claws. Bonus of Kat really seems to be the +defense for a bit more tankiness.

Good to know. I mean, a satisfying "crunch" is an important factor as well haha.

Hey heroes! Specific question for you Scrapper Studs and Studdetes (can I coin that term?) out there. I'm looking to build a second scrapper after LOVING my Stj/Bio @nihilii shared with me. I'm looking at /Rad secondary (since it seems pretty well rounded and has a T9 that is actually worth taking). I'm just trying to determine which primary to pair it with: Claws or Katana? Both seem really cool and could fit the build with what I'm trying to make. I've only rolled Claws once, as a Claw/Elec Brute. Haven't messed with Katana much at all, besides seeing a buddy play his one a lot. Do either one of these primaries offer a specific synergy with /Rad? Anyone have input on either or? I'm looking for a hero that will be good at general content, but also have a decent time against AV's/GM's. Thanks in advance all!

You mind sharing your build? I have an EM/EA Stalker who I love. EM/Bio scrapper could be solid as well

Appreciate this man! Mids isn’t working on my Mac 😕 do you have this extracted by chance so you could paste it?

Appreciate you sharing this!

Yeah, I feel like Kat definitely has a nice feel and flow to it!

Absolutely man. After that thread, I leveled a Water/Cold to 50 and I’ve been loving it. Ice/Cold would be amazing as well.

10/10 would read.

This is very similar to myself. It's nice being able to have a hero for every situation, based on what that mean may need for that particular TF/SF/Trial. Also, as a father of 3 now, I don't have as much time to grind every single hero to 50. I've PL'd a handful, and I have 2-3 heroes that I consider my "slow level" ones that I keep around for running story arcs with some buddies. I feel it's the best of both worlds!

Keep me in the loop on the Sentinels man! I've always been interested in their archetype as kind of a "ranged scrapper."

I should have figured 😂😂😂 Fire/Ice has always seemed like a cool concept. Cool to see it getting some love.

Am I seeing an Infinitum Ice in the near future? 😂

Appreciate the insight! I grabbed Spinning Strike for the "cool" factor and the idea that it does give me some AOE. That being said, it does consume, so anything that pulls away combos from Crushing Uppercut I'm sure hurts the build. I'm guessing a build up combo, with the above build, would look something like: Shin Breaker -> Rib Cracker -> Crushing Uppercut -> Shin Breaker -> Rib Cracker -> Moonbeam. Rinse and repeat? 😛 haha

Appreciate this. So we have heavy blow, but we typically wouldn’t be using it in the attack chain? I may drop something like tactics so I can pick up both, maybe open up options in the attack chain. If you don’t mind, could you share with me what an optimal attack chain without spinning strike would look like, and what one with would?

This is fantastic, thank you! What is your main reason for taking Shin Breaker over spinning strike? The -res? I like some of the AOE in SS, so I might find some way to work it into the build. Unless you feel it severely gimps your damage output!

You’re a legend Nihilii. This info is gold. Unfortunately for me, my Mac is not jiving with Mids at the moment. Is there a way for you to copy and paste the build in text form in the thread?

Hi all, I rolled a StJ/Bio scrapper today. Only at lv 16, but REALLY enjoying it so far. However, I’m kind of flying by the seat of my pants with the build. Does anyone have a build they can share with me so I can have some guidance? Full disclosure: I’m playing on my Mac (I know, I know), and Mids currently isn’t cooperating with it. If you do have any sample builds you could paste here, it would be greatly appreciated! I’m also open to any tips or advice you may just have on the builds/powersets =] Thanks all!

Just rolled this build. Lv. 16 so far and it's already a blast. You truly feel like a "control" tanker.

I appreciate you taking the time to write this all down! I think you may have sold me on the SJ/Bio Scrapper (maybe Guyver or Power Ranger themed =P) It truly seems like it’s a “1 on 1” set and I like that. I have a lv 50 Claws/Elec Brute, so it might be nice to switch it up. There is a decent amount of info out there on StJ/Bio scrappers. Do you have a link to a guide you’d recommend, or perhaps a build you use? The procs sound spicy haha. Appreciate it!

Awesome breakdown man. I’m really torn for my next scrapper. I have an EM Stalker, so it leaves my options as: Street Justice Claws Katana matched with either /Rad or /Bio. Any specific combo out of those you’d recommend for taking down AV’s/Fun Factor? Haha

Really cool breakdown nihili. Obviously we discussed that EM is the kind of single target damage and fighting AV’s. I was interested to see Claws in there ranked above StJ though! What makes it so strong on a scrapper? And what secondaries does it mesh with to make it particularly good at taking out AV’s?
