Glad you like it 🙂 I think on my Claws/Regen I use Assault, but I know on my Energy/Regen I used Melee. However, the Energy/Regen was the old Regen.

Generally, I'd go Hybrid Core for Scrappers as it does more damage when activated for scrappers. However, I have gone Radial because I felt for general game play, the extra proc energy damage did well, also if you team with a good Kin for instance, I do believe you're going to be at damage cap anyways, so have the proc instead of the +DAM That said, I had a Regen Scrapper that I went with the Melee Core for the Resistance.

I'm going to make a Stalker with it, but haven't decided what secondary. See if I can make a Stalker that can beat what I feel is the best Stalker Ive made so far, Ice/Ice/Ice. Haven't done a Stone Stalker tho.

Really? Rad Melee? It's animations just bore me. It's a set I wanted to love, especially for a Rad/Shield I had, but, gah...boring so boring.

I could've maybe said it wrong. I did mean I like Attune as is in theory. I just think it's not doing enough ST DPS to the big targets, where it should really shine. Which now gets me wondering, if maybe it could be set that the attacks give more damage based on level of the enemy. Oh! An EB/AV/Monster/hard object? Well now the attacks do 20% more damage and a strong DoT on the T1/2s! Minions, Lts and Bosses? Maybe they keep the 10%? I don't know, other than I still think with a Attune being the mechanic, better ST damage 😛

I don't recall saying anything about making it an aura toggle. And I never said anything wrong with the set being a top tier set in ST DPS. In fact, I said it should be a top ST DPS set for those hard targets, because of how Attune works. I don't feel using Attune as a concept is hard. I do feel it can be tedious if tried to use it on every target. Place it on tough target and smack em around. If you can take them down quickly enough without it, no need to attune anything. Basically use it on EBs, AVs, GMs, or high enough +Level Bosses. I personally have no issue with it, but I don't feel it's as strong as it should be. Maybe if it was, that would make it to powerful? I don't think so. I'd think the way to improve it is just increases in the damage the attacks do to the attuned target. So, that Deafening Wave, for instance, won't be slamming the non attuned target with some bigger number. I believe I suggest put the +10% they do now to Attuned targets to 15 or 20% and see how that does. *shrug* I also know that while I may like the idea of the set, doesn't mean I like the less damage, or that others may not like the mechanic. I don't care for TW's mechanic myself, but plenty of people love it.

I like it in theory. However, I feel with such a power, it really should put Sonic Melee into the top tier for single target, big bad DPSing. Place Attune on an AV and the Sonic should be a top tier ST DPS compared to a lot of the other sets imo. At least in the top 3. Which I think can be obtained just by giving the attacks more oomph on the attacking of attuned target.

They get everything Form of the Body gives the other ATs. So they build up stacks that give more damage and when they can use them with the powers that use those stacks for bonuses, the same as the other ATs.

Here's a screenshot. The Purple sets don't use the ACC/REC. MoG = Def/Rec - End/Rec - Def/Rec/End - Unique Weave = Def - Def/End - Def/Rec - Def/Rec/End Aliment has the Panacea Proc (minus the End/Rec IO of the set). Follow Up = Acc/Dam - Dam/End Winter Focus = Acc/Dam - Acc/Dam/End - Acc/Dam/Rec/End Winter Shockwave = Acc/Dam - Dam/End Winter

Here's mine. I don't use a Snipe or Ring of Fire on mine tho, so you may need to make changes for you. Snipe and RoF just didn't fit my concept. Scrapper (Claws - Regeneration).mbd

I believe only one attack has -Resist Damage, the rest are -Resist Debuff.

I figure it's not likely to get any real changes that effect the numbers. They already said they're not changing the mechanics of the set. I just heard the set was bad damage so I was testing it out. Didn't think I was really spamming the thread tho. 😛

Yes, on, just like Ston did in his tests
