Energy Aura could work as while depends on how you see the sith and most powers can have the tint changed not sure how much for the one you are asking about but yes he has several options.

My only thing is I can not play /sr scrapper any more; I am addicted to taunt auras and EA has one kind of weak compared to some but has one in entropic aura and scrapper /sr none

How about the Kinetic melee jazz hands as suggested above and go with Energy Aura as the secondary you get faster recharge with enemies around it is a defensive set easy to soft cap all positional but negative energy, has a heal. This should be on the theme for your concept

I 4x slot more for damage an IO bonuses and it works great as a mini nuke or if you need other IO set bonus leverage that part as while. Personally I use it as a nuke; bonus when I am in a group they get healed.

May be double the current build sits at 34% e/n and 38% f/c time to play with IO's I guess

Those are easy enough to skip with a good IO build. i really liked EA but as you see I got one to 50 in the old days when I remade my katana character I had some unfinished business with a level 28 katana/wp i never finished so that is my new project

They will both do fine I played with both back on live Dark Armor you need acrobatics or IO's or combo deal with no Knock back resistance. The set is resistance base and you really still want to get softcapped s/l. The best scrapper set for Psionics and you have an option of cof or OG to help mitigate damage from minions. Energy Aura is a defensive set easy to cap everything but negative energy has a +recharge to help your attack note the set has a taunt in that aura weaker much like Will Powers in that power. I personally skipped the stealth power but that is an option They both have heals Dark Armor can be an endurance hog but can be worked around Energy aura less endurance intensive and an endurance renewal pbaoe Energy aura easier to add 5 LOTG's for global recharge ; Dark Armor has an aoe damage aura The end of the day it really comes down to preference they both work and work fine. I am to the point I would personally take energy over dark armor as a scrapper and I use to love dark armor had two level 50's DA on live in the old days.

My maxed out into incarnte build is my dm/sd and carnies are a chore and Circle of thorns can be a chore with those earthquake mages gerr. ON Devouring Earth the crystal ones can get you chewed down with debuffs and the stone one make everything hard to kill. The Crystal is the most dangerous

For me what it meant when I was playing on live I could set my mission at +4/x8 and solo most of the content and never worry about that setting; and that was before incarnates. Much like Werner said some groups just give you fits and slow you down and some AV's are just your kryptonite and have to be fought as EB's. Then add in inspiration makes it easier and incarnates make it even easier. Now; I do modify the settings depending on my goal if I am just clearing something for speed or farming I change the settings for efficiency but generally once I get my IO's maxed to a point I can just set +4/x8 and not blink most the time.

If I remember correctly eagle claw can be skipped and the highest dps chain did not use eagle claw but it has been a long while someone else maybe able to confirm but I am pretty sure that is still the case

No perma hasten but with no incarnates just IO's I plan to have my katana/wp scrapper at 690% regen 45% smash/lethal defense and 75% s/l resistance. (that is no DA applied) I am wondering how rugged that is going to be

Yes active defense stacks but on live we where hitting 90+% ddr resistance with Cytoskeletons because the way hami-o's worked they buffed both parts they eventually nerfed that on shields. Yes I abused the hell out of it on live that is why Cyto's where so expensive on live for a period of time and then the patch price tanked and they became worthless

Never tried on the bind I am pretty sure you need a target. You could maybe try targeting yourself maybe /target_name

I have a fire/rad I think the two best things to do with the secondary is try to get to 45+% S/L defense s/l resistance 75% and as much regen and recharge you can add to the build as possible

Just drop it on dev for us to test to see how bad we can break it and then we have a base line

Yea i just found one of the discussions on way back machine also found the Proc formula for the I24 change I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30)) Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

I can confirm Shield Charge and Lightning Rod are pseudo pets and they react different; it's been a long time and I do not remember all the weird things with pusedo pet but they act differently when it comes to things like this and damage buffs. The pusedo pet reacting differently is why shield charge on a maxed out furry Brute is still blah compared to scrappers. I do not remember how all the interactions work I may see if i can find the post and discussions about that on wayback machine. I guess at least people can be aware any psuedo pets have different power interactions with buffs if I find the information I will post it on the forums.

I moved mine to Midnight Grasp and my ST dps went up a tic over having it in smite

If only /sr had a taunt aura I go back and make one the quickness + swift is so beautiful and fun

Funny back on live before the Posi TF rework I use to use my friends accounts start that TF log everyone out and I would solo that TF using just the standard common IO with a fire/mind blaster it was just so efficient at that TF I parked at level 30 and only farmed that mission. I gained a lot of respect for the blaster build you just need to move and use space and distance to your advantage. Yes it was a pretty fun toon to play and I could breeze through that TF with common IO's

I hated Jazz hands I really really wanted to like it even got to the 40+ on live I was farming in PI and I could never finish that toon. Yea that was way back the first month they released that set

I used aidself back on my fire/sd on live before incarnates and remember grant cover gives you ddr

Rad is nice my fire rad with just IO's no incarnates can solo av's not all a few are just my kryptonite but can do most. I just soft capped smash/lethal defense and capped my s/l resistance and get as much regen, and other resistance that i can and as much recharge as I can to smash face Will power is always nice, Invulnerability works but I think most use Bio, WP or Rad now over that set but it is still fine Hell EA works just fine as while

This is what I have done so far I decided I just did not want hasten I need to purple out my siphon life and I can get another 5% recharge I have one build and I use it for everything from sidekicking down to soloing an av which I could do pre incarnates and pre accolades so my single target dps is good enough but I am not trying to beat the top pylon test or I would be focusing more into recharge http://www.cohplanner.com/mids/download.php?uc=1511&c=687&a=1374&f=HEX&dc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

That was nerfed on live way before we went dark, and yes we took advantage of that for a long time until the nerf. Unless Homecoming re-enabled it then that is no longer the case
