Thank you, that's gives me what I'm looking for. I had a good idea on some of it but others I was off on, but now the fun begins.........building and playing/testing the build to find my style for it. Again, thank you for the help it's very appreciated. Doc M

I'm really impresses with what you're accomplishing and it's made me want to try out the illusion/cold build instead of my scrapper/brute normal creations. I know that you're not into posting your build but will help with build help or ideas from previous responses on another thread and that's what I'm looking for...an idea or suggestion as I want to build for a style that suits my playstyle. My question is kinda multipart, so first part my beast guess is the goal is perma on hasten, PA and heatloss, then followed up with softcap defense vs range.....am I correct in this thinking? Second part, travel powers...while I would normally pickup combat jumping for the added defense to slot some defense unique's in there would that mindset still be the way to go here. The rest I can figure out as I play but I just wanna make sure I'm on the right path for the goal. Thanks for any advice/help you can give Doc M

I just put an LotG +recharge in there, no extra slotting, wanted the global recharge in it to help with hasten's uptime

Not a scrapper but got a savage/regen brute that tears things up. See large mob, pop IH and wade in, with me only popping off my DP or rec on rare situations and when solo I'm at either +2 or +4/8 I'm also not popping IH for each mob, just the initial and a bit later as the debuffs start adding up. As for which alpha and destiny I took.....agility and ageless. He's become my favorite to play and replaced my former main, while his build isn't for everyone I find him the most fun to play as I build for recharge(shade off perma), defense(around 25-30% to smash/lethal) and some resists(around 60-65% smash/lethal/fire/cold)

Mine's sitting at 24, she's a dark/savage and I really enjoy her. I've leveled up a savage brute and working on a savage scrapper so this gave me a combination of some of my favorite things in the game which I found the sets to be fun together, may not always sync as well as they could but as I like to be in the middle of the action so it worked for me.....but I've been told I play everything like a scrapper.

I've heard that hemorrhage is better than leap on stalkers and crits better than assassin strike, can't confirm this though. As for shred being lackluster later on, you maybe right again I cant confirm all I can say is that i enjoy shred in my build and he fits the concept I built him as, maybe not the most optimal but still the most fun for me. I do appreciate your insight on it and may make my next one with the info you brought up Thanks

Went with regen and loved it, became my favorite to play and I'm almost done with build with only 3 pieces of ATO to get. I've started a sm/bio scrapper also but he still low, seems strong though

I just did my final respec on my savage melee brute and i dropped hemorrhage faster than a bad habit. The only 2 powers in my opinion that are totally skippable in the set are hemorrhage and the first attack on the powers list(cant remember name). Shred is awesome when you put the Achilles proc in it. My go to chain currently is savage leap, rending flurry and then shred...nothing really survives that rush of baglady fingernails

Could restart the challenge and put together a TF team for this. A set day and time with friends both new and old using teams built for maximum experience earning potential. Make teams able to go both red and blue to access all TF/SF available

So I've become addicted to my savage melee/regen brute, can't explain it...not gonna try but I just like it. So my question is where to I slot the Brute ATO's? Do I put them in a quicker recharge power, a heavy hitter or a fun little teleport attack? Appreciate any feedback....thanks

Think his name is Positive Gamer, or something similar.

[quote author=MunkiLord link=topic=3189.msg22201#msg22201, Scrapperlock(that's the name of jshmoe's and my SG!) Scrapperlock is my newest scrapper a claws/regen on excelsior

Spines I am very familiar with as I've leveled up a spines/dark, spines/fire and I'm working a spines/bio currently. May still give spines another go as I'm trying to decide the next hero/villain I invest in for the ride to 50

Appreciate the response, never really thought about Psi so I may have to take a look at that and see what it can do. As for dark, I've leveled a dm/regen and dm/sd before shut down and I currently got a dm/sr started but sitting at 14. Claws was with everything but INV.

After having so much fun on my spines/bio scrapper I thought it was time to go back for round 2 of my scrapperitis and ask for some advice from the scrapper masters who I bow down to.....I'm leaning on running a regen scrapper but not sure what to pair with it as I've done claws and dark in the past, I've enjoyed them both and have several pieces of needed IO's to make the builds shine. My question is what to pair with it? Do I stay true to the old favorite and go claws, or go back to the dark set for all the fun and interesting things it can do or am I missing out on something entirely new and different. Just an FYI on build and play style if/when I do this. I play to have fun but I do min/max the builds....in other words I see a mob, I run in and lay waste to mob and move to the next mob all while laughing maniacally but then again I do this with everything I play defenders, controllers, masterminds and all the other sets and drop serious coin on builds I find really fun Thanks in advance for any help

Don't have a formal build yet but I just hit around 28 on my spines/bio scrapper and he's been doing some insane things, even playing the tank role on a TF or 2. For the dying alot part I found early on as I learned the set that to be true but the more I played around with it switching between offense/defense/conserve depending on mobs I faced I fell less and less

You could use the XP boost rate from the P2W vendor to get extra XP from your runs

I like the Q task force, yes its long but for some crazy reason I always enjoyed it. Depending on the day i may be down for this with either a troller, mm(already 50) or scrapper/brute....whichever one that i have in range in time

Appreciate the rad idea. Not really a farmer myself just like spines and think the spines/bio theme works, then again i can see a rad/bio theme also.....so 2 new heroes it is then

Thanks for the info, thats what i was hoping to hear. Looks like my new scrapper will be spines/bio

*gets out her keytar* Welcome back....now get in here and join up

So I'm having a case of scrapperlock kick in and trying to decide what to build next. I'm currently leaning towards a spines/bio build but am unfamiliar with bio armor. Anyone have any incite on it or if the combo has synergy. Thanks Doc M

iBot reporting in Sir! 8) Guess I'll have to download the game now ;D Welcome back iBot....you better be downloading and getting back in here. Hey there Arc looks like a few more Legion peeps are coming back to get the band back together. Looking to join back up myself.

That's awesome, glad your TF run is successful so far.

Looks like a few more Legion members are showing up. WB Faith and Cry, I believe Arc is restarting the old SG up on Excelsior if you're interested, I'll be moving some heroes/villains there to hopefully join up as well.
