Appreciate it man! Dark Melee/Shield does seem like a blast. I'll admit, I've been scared away from DB due to the the combo system. Is it something that is tough to get the hang of? Out of all these builds, which one do you think is the best overall for general content and going head to head with AV's? Appreciate your insights!

Apologies Kaiju! Thanks for the input 🙂

You know I've heard that about Ice Armor! The new T9 is a no crash, similar to Rad correct?

Bump for more ideas/opinions!

Yeah, DM/SD do seem like a solid pair to cover each other’s weaknesses. I have heard good things about Dual Blades/EA though, good one to point out!

Definitely some good options so far. I had mentioned DM/SD. Is that still a solid choice?

I also hear it’s pretty and strong.

True! It is outstanding once IO'd out. I have a buddy I run with constantly who has a TW, so I'm looking to do something a bit different. No doubting it's power on a scrapper though!

This is super helpful, thanks man! Definitely food for thought. My first hero back on live was a Claws/Regen scrapper haha

Nice man! Why do you recommend WM on a scrap?

Hi all! I wanted to pick your brains: Which power sets, in your opinion, are most optimal on a scrapper? I've recently rolled several tankers and brutes, but I miss scrappin' it out! I know the obvious answer is TW/Bio. Rolled one for a bit, wasn't for me. I also hear great things about DM/Shield having great synergy. This makes sense to me, as I've rolled 2 Shield Defense Tankers and what the set is missing out on is a heal (as well as some way to take care of endurance). Dark Melee helps cover these areas. Are there any other power sets/combos you feel are most optimally played on scrapper? Thanks in advance heroes!

That is what I ended up rolling man! Water/Cold. It’s a blast so far! Seems to mesh well. I re-colored water to black and it looks like I’m controlling shadows. I just wish there were more option to re-color cold 😂

Thanks man! Are there any universal attacks/powers to skip in Ice Blast?

You know, I keep hearing good things about Ice/Rad. What advantages do you see it having over Fire/Rad? I'm interested, since it seems like it's not as popular, but highly effective.

This was extremely helpful man, thank you! I’m definitely going to go Fire/Rad for one, since I have a Rad/Fire Brute farmer and I can keep a theme between them 😝 also, it seems like it’ll be a solid AV/GM killer. But after looking at the animation for water, I am SOLD. Out of Dark and Cold, which do you recommend? Dark, if I recolor water black, fits really well thematically. You mentioned that Water is click heavy and requires management. Do you think Dark would be too click heavy if a secondary to go with it? Ice... can’t really recolor it haha. Tried to make it black and all I get is a light grey. All that being said, it seems a pretty simple secondary. Drop sleet, benumb and heat loss and Fire (or water 😂) away. I just wanted to pick your brain!

Appreciate the insight! I’m definitely going to roll a Fire/Rad, but I also want to run a Water/Something. Torn between Dark and Cold. Since Water is pretty intensive and quick, do you think Dark may be too intensive for as a secondary for water? Thematically (if I recolor water black 😁), they look great together.

Nice man! I like Dark a lot. Have a couple dark based tankers and scrappers. I’m KIND of looking at Fire/Rad, because I’d love to have a good AV/GM fighter hero. My other buddy also suggested a Fire/Mental Blaster. Kind of torn on what to go!

Wow man this build is legit. Definitely want to give to a go. Now I just need to fund it 😂 let the grind begin.

Never mind, found it amigo!

Thank you! So I’m guessing Dark Miasma is pretty good against AV’s/GM’s as well?

I also see you mentioned in another thread that you have a water/cold build. I can’t seem to find it though!

Appreciate it man! You think Water/Cold has better synergy than, say, Water/Rad or Ice/Cold? I do think it’s cool that cold dom seems like a pretty low maintainence secondary. Drop sleet, Numb and heat loss than blast away. Quick question: someone on Reddit said /dark had a -regen power as well, but I couldn’t see that. Do you know if that’s true?

Thanks man! Yeah I've somehow seen some Doms just walk into mobs and... not die as the mob melts lol. Not sure how they do it.

It seems like /Rad is the way to go. Would you say the difference between Fire/Rad and Ice/Rad is fairly neglible? I COULD see Blizzard making a big difference. Might have to role a Ice or fire/Rad and Water/something else 😄 You're giving me so many good options!
