You're right, you showed your own colors. Good luck with your terrible builds 🙂

It's REALLY not, it's math lol. Was going to say how horrid your proposals was but didn't want to sound like an arse. You didn't even know that you can't skip ice sword, that it's better than FF. So yeah, you were wrong on SO many levels. Do your research. Regarding theft proc, i always think of it as unique but it might not actually be, but I've looked at combos specifically to use it, and the only ones it would really affect would be those with siphon life, life drain, and rad siphon. Wasting a slot for it in parasitic aura though, is just dumb. I could *see* where one would think to, but it's just not worth it. Slot are always tight, and that's not a place that needs it. You're not going to use it on just one or two enemies, and it's 30% recovery per enemy hit. So it's going to provide more than enough, and more if you just swap to e-mode for it and swap back rq.

Um, you can't skip the first ice sword, cause you're NOT getting the worst power almost in the game with Frozen Fists. They SEVERLY need to make it just Frost Punch, .83s like charged brawl/energy punch are. Likewise, they also REALLY need to turn GiS back to Ice Slash that it USED to be, like the dom version is. Yeah CP is a good replacement for GiS, but not taking the ato sets/ST sets kinda hurts the build for s/l defense etc. To a single target GiS is still nice, just used less often in the build. It also does at least have higher base acc, so if you put the crit strikes set into FT, which honestly does proc better and works better before the aoe's, you could put the 4 kinetic combats in it, then put 2 damage procs as well to shore up the ST damage. Also, the theft proc is unique, you can't. Also, it procs once, which would be kinda pointless in parasitic aura given its longer recharge, plus it has much higher recovery values, and doesn't need any other help to help your endurance. You're not going to run out once you cast it till it's over. I'd even say it's not needed in dna, but it's nice. Def not needed in efficient mode. Also, the crit strikes proc WORKS best by actively using it for what you need. It's way not worth it in a toggle. That's not how you do scrappers.. The best place is FT, but as i mentioned having hold stuff in it is nice too, and it also procs well in GiS.

Not sure why you would do one artillery, one positions, and a bombardment Proc. At least do the positron Proc for the recovery bonus. But you'll see in my build I did 3 artillery for 8% regen and mostly that very important 1.88% e/n defense bonus which caps you for that.

You could add that sure. Slots are always tight though and I'd rather have a boosted hold duration purple there of I had the slot open personally.

That is EXACTLY what I did and kept getting done dumb format error issue grrrrr

Also, I have the same version of Mids as you so no idea why i kept getting some format error. Where setting did you use to export? Tried long official forums, data chunk and data link.

First off Frost is AMAZING. Do not put off till 38. Get and slot ASAP. Also, it's your only aoe till 32, DO NOT PUT IT OFF! I also like BC on FT for the hold proc to almost always get bosses. Split up the scrap strike set for more s/l defense. Frost slotting on mine also allows some range boost too. (Had a longer post but kept getting an error and through copy/pasting from mids lost EVERYTHING I typed GRRRRRRRR!)

I was actually planning to do this as stalker for the perma slept bosses lol. On scrapper crit proc is best in either GiS, or FT. Best in FT, but then you can't use it FOR FT, and you also can't slot it with hold duration/winter proc/set which is really nice.

Yeah read fast and looked like you were responding as me XD. Best *per* value though. I can guarantee mine offers more survivability/endurance. While yours does offer more aoe with ball lightning, it's VERY slight more. With Bu, gaussians, crit proc, tf>pc>sc>wh>tf>pc>wh most bosses don't even survive that aoe, so BL really just adds more flavor for range, but with cj, it's not like it hard to jump in half a second to the enemy.

My build is a final end game build and exemps wonderfully as well fyi.

The only main difference is having an extra aoe via ball lightning, but i can also guarantee that it's not needed with my build as well. Build up, TF, get gaussians proc and crit proc for both boosted power crash and then shield charge, whirling hands, and then TF/PC again during regular build up. Only bosses *might* survive, and EM on scraps is the best ST pretty much besides TW. I'd much rather the to hit debuff resitance, and extra 111.78% regen and 37% recovery with my build. Weave earlier is also going to do a LOT more for you than grant cover.

FYI is SomeGuy not me sounds like he's trying to pick up and hijack the build. I can guarantee you EM on scrappers does not need Zapp to fill out any ST lack. I can also guarantee mine will have better survivability and endurance/regen than that Zapp build.

More for incarnate cap etc but that has leeway.

I've been doing this since 2004 so don't think I missed anything but this would be top performance.

Not sure what that is. I make all my builds from scratch.

Aw ok lol. I have once again worked magic! EM Shield - Scrapper (Energy Melee).mxd

Everlasting?

SUUUUUPER AWESOME COMBO! I'll get you one cause i plan to do this myself. Did em/bio, was fun but em/shield is just insane.

FYI the recharge cap is 1/5 if a powers base rech so the absolute minimum recharge you can get build up to is 18 seconds... Most builds as well won't complete capped rech if they're going for defense as well (like you should with bio) so even with perma rech proc you're looking at more like 21s.

I have actually tried this when the issue came up, and zooming in did not help. Fyi, one BIG instance where this happens is that final mission in Croatoa from Buck Salinger. On the flat land by the corner of that war wall and where that final hostage mob is is a good example of perfectly flat land that it happens on.

It is definitely with the powexeclocation target command there is no question about that. Certain maps have more issues than others. I have had this happen on 100% flat land surfaces.

Using manually yeah. I'm talking about the consistent issues when using the powexeclocation target command which I thought was supposed to be fixed when they "fixed" the teleport pool but i still get it all the time. Even on flat surfaces which boggles the mind.

*stares at title* on target.

I'm CONSTANTLY getting location target bugs for location powers? Croatoa is one of the biggest offenders. I've also gotten it in that, um, jameson park? outdoor map. The one with the crazies in the tina mac arc, but i get it other places too. I can literally be RIGHT on top of the enemy, and it will still say "out of range" when trying to place a location power on them. Other times, it will place the power UNDER the map, and not affect the enemies AT ALL.
