I was planning to take a shot at a SM/SD scrapper, but before I did I was wondering if anything would be a better fit for savage melee. I was going to try these out because I have never played either power before.

This is what I'm using for my Merc/Thermal. I'm still low level so this is not tested yet. The idea is to have capped ranged defense and use the knockdown to keep mobs away from me and my pets. I had a hard time capping ranged defense, and I'm pretty new to using Mids.

Also if you drop Bonfire pick up Temporary Invulnerablility and move a slot out of tough you can 6 slot Temporary Invulnerablility with Gladiators Armor and have capped S&L resists.

Thanks for the advice. I'll probably stick to the first build for now. However, I didn't even know about all the force of will and sorcery power pools. Did I miss when those got added or were they not a thing in live? Thanks again for the advice.

I'm building a Dominator for the first time, so I'm not sure about a couple of power picks. Its a Electric/Psi/Mu Build. I have it narrowed down to two different builds Build one has 48.2 Negative, Energy, & Ranged defense. With 75% S&L resists, but takes maneuvers, tactics and vengeance. For additional defense and a place to put a couple of LOTGs. Dom is at 80 sec. Build two has a bit over 46.5 Negative/Energy & 45.3 R defense. Also has 75% S&L resist, but takes heal self and other, & probably combat medic. Dom is at 87 sec. These are both with Agility Core. Would a Dominator find the healing ability more useful, or would it be better to have a bit more wiggle room with domination and defenses. Also I normally play a Fortunata so I may be going a bit overboard with the defenses. I generally duo if that makes a difference. We don't always have a heal available. Thanks for any advice you could give, as I have never even attempted a Dominator.
