You didn't. I have. Point still stands. People go "Let's not blur the lines between ATs even more" and then laugh/whine at the idea of a 5% reduction in Brutes max Resistance. That said, I play Scrappers without a taunt aura just fine. 😛 If they have a taunt aura or if they don't, I'm still playing a Scrapper 🙂

Best place for it. Total Focus > Increased Crit Chance on Energy Transfer. WIN! \o/

Where is this AV running away? Maybe one AV ran away when I soloed them (Swan counterpart I think it was) with my EM/Regen (no taunt aura), but for most of them, they stayed right in melee beating back on me.

I think, if if it makes sense, the secondary should have a taunt aura. By sense, I mean, what's the sets defense? SR has no need to keep enemies around them, other than desired by some players. WP has a -ToHit Toggle and more regen per enemy. Makes sense. Regen? Nothing. The one I would question is Fire Armor, as it's purely damage, but that's it's gimmick, so maybe, so it can do more of it's thing.

Everyone always says that, but then you suggest lowering the Brute Resist Cap to 85% so it's not equal to Tankers, and blurs that line less, and it's either laughing or whining at the idea.

I believe Spines Damage Aura crits, but yeah, I felt all powers should crit for Scrappers.

I should say, at 798.66% Regen, you get 74.9 HP/Sec At 743.97% Regen on my EM/Regen, I get 74.69 HP/Sec Regen HOWEVER...made another change for you...got rid of the Heal IO in Physical Perfection and put Impervious Skin Unique in Resilience, | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1526;693;1386;HEX;| |78DA65945B6F12511485676010E98542EF37A0175A6E650AB6FAA889B6D52A552C6| |D7D322D97639D84000162ECA3319AA83FC0376F0F26BEF843BCC45F52ED93AFB83B| |6B956298847C67D6D97B9D7DCEECC3D6D3B5BEAF379F5DD374EF8D72BED1D8CF15E| |BF95A4DD5DDB9A2A52A45A5C9E37A606DD48FDC329A3C9BDEDF5265A5CC0D4BD58F| |300EB4A7D6D423556928735B1DAA8AAAE79B56B5E2DFAC3C567555699A67037FB65| |A2DCBDB13AB6115ACB2D53CEA56FA6C25A3F235AB72D863BFE46A4A95FCEB35AB68| |5EAF9664ED7CA329358C4B7131F93D3FADD27E5A867620481B9AA3401641A3442A7| |0ED3447B7731CDAAE6E6B17F6C0BEF0698C477BE16688F8EADF9CF6DCC5EFE40FB0| |E727F90BDC901C277D9D2706FCFE82DEB70E9BEB12E3428CE1CA71ED1DD017808F2| |F080E86C07EC9C1365BBA7B04B15E1F7853263CF4F36C431BA5EF38FDC6E9373903| |7A25A7177E5A2FFD0644EBA7D64FED966803F0760D4C2377989EC3F41C0DFDEF1D9| |C055F49AE9FB9FE039CC1A00267F264019C2D9225F0A5E40E21571BFA8273DB146D| |84673B12477DD32618090803528BC48C316F8C7B782DDA04BFE304FB239C0717D92| |78BEC9345F6C96DC99962CE54866B6D81C1BBE0CC3D703E0BCE494E006BEB81047A| |2848BE91B910BF5128E2B0B5D904F6351FC57B3C46C6C11D39C639D630F78EB1EFC| |1C80770E92398FC0466649D05F6C9821F75C5780EBBE217650DD124D68899E432B8| |9C22D3F0FB2C0D91408E33711F3E4BBC2F49F67792FDBD27FE26EB352FD167054CA| |F9297C92BE01DA937C5EF953A46DF848CF6DD6C4D1BEDBB2DFF44F836994E2D092D| |6BB4EFAAA627A01DF788466F9D71BF3BB528B43FE79A53E71EC3DC63E42AFA2A1E4| |6ECC979AC43E77D0E73FF4B3C0F8F4FFE03504B2BD5596B4B1E2DDEA5A4BB94D52E| |65A54BC94A2569AEF2B0639CEF18173AC6FF00B7AFDD1A| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| Puts you at 817.78% Regen for 76.69 HP/Sec It would seem at some point, the return on Regen isn't worth chasing. Also, for your information, keeping the EndMod Power Transfer IO in Stamina gives better regen than a +5 Heal IO in Physical Perfection. So, I'd leave that there for more End Rec. Which you have a lot of.

You don't want the purple set in Scorch. You want it in Greater Fire Sword or Incinerate. You can move the 3rd Recharge IO from Hasten to Stamina and put a Chance for Heal Proc in Stamina. Then +5 those Recharge IOs in Hasten. It'll put you at 118 second recharge on Hasten. Take Triage out of Physical Perfection. Put a Heal IO in Fast Healing and you'll go from 777% Regen to 788% Regen. You'd get more Regen replacing the Numina Heal/Recharge IO in Health with a regular Health IO. You don't need to chase +HP Bonuses, as Dull Pain is maxing out your Hit Points all on it's own, and it's perma. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1526;691;1382;HEX;| |78DA65945B6F12511485676010E98542EF37A0175A6E650AB6FAA889B6D52A552C6| |D7D322D97639D84000162ECA3319AA83FC0376F0F26BEF843BCC45F52ED93AFB83B| |6B956298847C67D6D97B9D7DCEECC3D6D3B5BEAF379F5DD374EF8D72BED1D8CF15E| |BF95A4DD5DDB9A2A52A45A5C9E37A606DD48FDC329A3C9BDEDF5265A5CC0D4BD58F| |300EB4A7D6D423556928735B1DAA8AAAE79B56B5E2DFAC3C567555699A67037FB65| |A2DCBDB13AB6115ACB2D53CEA56FA6C25A3F235AB72D863BFE46A4A95FCEB35AB68| |5EAF9664ED7CA329358C4B7131F93D3FADD27E5A867620481B9AA3401641A3442A7| |0ED3447B7731CDAAE6E6B17F6C0BEF0698C477BE16688F8EADF9CF6DCC5EFE40FB0| |E727F90BDC901C277D9D2706FCFE82DEB70E9BEB12E3428CE1CA71ED1DD017808F2| |F080E86C07EC9C1365BBA7B04B15E1F7853263CF4F36C431BA5EF38FDC6E9373903| |7A25A7177E5A2FFD0644EBA7D64FED966803F0760D4C2377989EC3F41C0DFDEF1D9| |C055F49AE9FB9FE039CC1A00267F264019C2D9225F0A5E40E21571BFA8273DB146D| |049A3E12477DD326F72B73638C1F63EDAF459BE0F79B605F84F3E022FB6391FDB1C| |8FEB82D3953CC99CA708D2D3078179CB907CE67C139C909B0AE4002BD1324DFC85C| |88DF261471D8DA6C02FB998FE23D1E23E3E08E1CDF1C6B987BC7D8F760E403B8F41| |14C7E0233B2CE02FB63C18FBA623C875DF18BB28668126BC44C72195C4E9169F87D| |9646483027711F3E4BBC274BBC1F49F67792FDBD27EB98ACDBBC44BF1530BD4A5E2| |6AF8077A4EE14BF5BEA187D1332DA77B3356DB4EFB6FC13E11B653AB524B4ACD1BE| |AB9A9E8076DC231ABD75C6FDEED4A2D0FE9C6B4E9D7B0D73AF91ABC280A1C5C3883| |D398F75E8BCCF61EE3FC2F3F0F8E43F00B5B4529DB5B6E4D1E25D4ABA4B59ED5256| |BA94AC5492E62A0F3BC6F98E71A163FC0F74C5DD39| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| There...up to 798.66% Regen

^This. Less combo and more, "You'll want to use Total Focus before Energy Transfer" Which isn't a big deal really. First, you get TF before ET. Next, it's not like the recharge isn't there. Bone Smasher > Total Focus > Energy Transfer > Whatever. Could even put in Energy Punch before BS. Throw in a slow, or possibly second fast, ET (if crit happened before). And it's not often I see people not going 1 2 3 4 or some sort of pattern with their attacks and TF and ET are the DPS attacks, so it's not like one wouldn't just go TF into ET before really. 😛

My first thought is, if you can perma Dull Pain, why work on the +HP bonuses? Dull Pain will max your HP. Maybe get that 6th slot in Cremate for the 6% S/L Resist. Hasten you can two slot and +5 those RCH IOs and move that third slot. Invisibility is a travel power (Infiltration) now, did you know that? Since I see you took Super Speed too. Power Transfer ENDMOD & Proc IOs with Performance Shifter Proc in Quick Recovery and Stamina gives more regen. Hecatomb I'd move to Incinerate or Greater Fire Sword.

I can use it. Also, in the view totals I see the increased regen with slotting. It's just in the power info window, that it's not saying it's enhancing the power as much as it is.

Well, they look like they hinted at a stone blast set, so maybe they'll port stone melee over at the same time.

Katana and Titan Weapons are two completely different sets with different playstyles, in which someone can like the set of one and not the other. TW would still out do Katana in ST and AOE Damage. I've made a TW Scrapper. Katana/Regen was one of my first 50's back on live (Claws/Regen was first). Plus there's just people making alts. The sets are reason to play the sets. Not (just) the skins.

O.O That helps a lot! I didn't go with that build 100% but it helped me make a build *runs off to make dom*

Yes, this is using my newest build, the second one posted in the EM/Regen thread I made a bit back. Edit: I did make the Proc chance in Build Up to Gaussian's tho.

EM/Regen/Soul T4 Alpha Spiritual Core Paragon T4 Interface Degenerative Core Flawless T4 Hybrid Assault Core (Passive Only) 2m46s for 358.8 DPS Had to hit Dull Pain twice. Working on getting the Degenerative Radial Flawless Interface to see if it makes a difference. I know Musculature would make a difference, but being Regen, I feel Spiritual does a lot for my survival.

I always wondered how Primal Earth existing would make Praetoria's Deal with Hamidon a no go. Another dimension of uncontrolled people, means Hamidon would say, "Deals off"?

I too, love this idea.

Yes. 3 Procs in DW. Though, I believe I tested Pistols with and without Procs with DW coming out on top still. I didn't use Dominate at all, and I believe that's popular to use with it.

DB does good DPS with Blinding Feint > Attack Vitals > Repeat. Solo'ed ITF and the AVs for Portal Jockey with no Incarnates/Inspirations, with a DB/WP Scrapper. I get that DB can do better DPS without the combo, but that also requires a lot more recharge in the build to pull off. Have to say on the animation aspect, DB felt better, but if they ever give Katana the Razor Sword from Titan Weapons (and keep it's size), I'm rolling up a Katana Scrapper again 🙂

Dual Wield > Suppresive Fire > Executioner's Shot > very slight pause > Repeat, got me to solo AVs without Incarnates (except for Seige, couldn't beat him solo, all others soloed) on my DP/NIN. Defensive Opportunity is a waste, but I couldn't get enough Recharge to make Pistols > SF > Pistols > ES > Repeat work without lower DPS and Offensive Opportunity didn't make up for it. Musculature Core is more damage, but Radial gives End Mod, which can be nice for some builds. Lore, I've come to like Radial side of things for the buff pet.

I know the feeling! I come up with a concept and then just don't enjoy the build. I REALLY want to play Grav/Energy but I can't make a build I enjoy and I hate the idea of sacrificing damage for what is the awesome Propel! I'm hoping this changes, if Dom's ever get Illusion Control.

That is a nice catch! Before I had two Rectified Retical's in it for the S/L Defense bonus and I just forgot to switch it! Will have to look into the others more closely tho 🙂

Yes, but as a toggle, I figure there's only a small chance of the hold landing in the first place as I can't imagine a toggle hold power that holds everyone and likely doesn't last long, but I await to see what you got.
