Supreme Ballista

Good Evening, I was in the same place looking for a build for a scrapper some time back and came across one @Nihilii made. (I think his build had Shin Breaker in place of Spinning Strike). It is very fun and hits hard. You can use it to fit it to the brute without much issue. You can play with it and try less expensive sets as well.

I would put it mid to upper level ranking. With procs and incarnates it holds it own well. It seems to have slight pauses or rooting inbetween attack(s), Greater Fire sword, for example, that subjectivly hinder the "flow" of the attack chain if you will. And for that reason I dislike GFS. But the first two or three attacks with Fire Sword Circle in the mix is fun and will keep the orange numbers floating up and up! Thanks, SB

Enjoying the conversation on another players first 50 blaster being an Energy/Energy. Below is the build I am running right now. Very fun and fast hiting blaster. Feel free to use it, break it apart and make it your own. I also welcome any feedback. With Capped S/L resistance and very solid defenses along with a regen of 35hp/sec (44hp/sec with Unleased Potential) and a heal every 40secs it is very study. Not to mention the ranged fighting with knockdowns to start with. It also has Unleased Potential and Force of Nature for backups. (Admittedly I hardly ever use Force of Nature.) It is also very budget friendly and has zero endurance issues. It also has a snipe on a 4sec recharge with hasten, along with three force feedbacks slotted to make this a very fast and fun blaster. I picked the first two powers and the snipe as my attack chain since the damage/activation is better than Power Burst. Nova is up every 30-40sec. Anyways, I welcome feedback; and for others to make this build their own.

Try a Rad/Em tank with procs in the Rad AOE’s. Very good ST and AoE damage. Jump into mob with WH >Ground Zero>Radiation Therapy> back to WH. I think my build has WH on a 7-8sec recharge. I can post my build if any one is interested. thanks SB

Nihilii, Feeling like I need to give credit to were credit is due! I searched all of the Scrapper posts for a StJ/Bio build and yours was the only one that I saw. I have since created this character and I must say this character is a BOSS! +4/8 missions, with a less than 2 min pylon time is very fun. I did change out Shin Breaker for Spinning Strike, however. Anyways just wanted to say thank you for posting your build! Thanks

No question about it...Energy Melee energy transfer animation and total focus. I also remember an animation from Olympian 29 from the Dark Astra mission having a chest beam or something. That would be nice to see more of.

Has anyone compared Fire/SS tank since the changes along with Fire Ball? I think they all hit 16 targets now.

An Idea: Could we use the current ET animation on the first hit and then change to the old animation on the next hit? Something like Titan Weapons today does with the momentum build.

If I remember correctly in one of the Lore interviews, one of the Devs mentioned having a power that would kill minions just by being in close proximity. They also mentioned that the Battalion would be level 100 or something very large. I am not sure if they planned on stopping with Omega, but the ramp up to get us to fight 100 level would need to be much greater than Phase One of powers to take us to Omega.

These numbers are from my Willpower tank with about 40 million into him and he is not finished. Willpower plus IO is not to be underestimated. Numbers just in-case this picture is not showing. Lethal and Smashing Res = 90% Fire /Cold Def = 45.49% Eng/Neg Eng Def = 51.84% Psionic Def = 29.83% Psionis Res = 58.79% Damage Bouns = 25% Regen = 1.42% (39.08 Hp/sec) solo with no mobs around. 125 hp/sec with 10 mobs around. ( I hope the attachment works)

I would PAY good money to have the old ET back. I am not joking! I had many characters with 100's of hours of gameplay on them, to only have them put away, never played again. To say I was angry when they made that change, would be an understatement. It completely changed the set and how it played. The whole rhythm of battle, going from a group of mobs to another group of mobs was fun to keep fury up to one shot minions to the next group. I have even tried Rad melee to level 37, but just not getting into it like EM. I am up for switching the animation on character select screen and compromising on a balance if someone chooses the longer animation. If someone likes the new animation I would hate to do to them what was done to me on my characters.

Thanks for the Build! I was looking for one on a Tanker, but was not able to find one. This will help me get started!
