Zemius Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 New scrapper time! I haven't played Bio yet so I figured it was high time to give it a whirl. Being a def/res mix though I'm kind of lost as to how to build effectively for maximum damage and survivability. I'd appreciate any helpful advice and/or a build I can work with. Purples and ATOs are fine, whatever is most optimal! Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seroster01 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Well, I've made a few /Bio characters across several ATs, so I'll weigh in on that set. StJ is a set I'm interested in but haven't played, so can't usefully contribute there. My personal experience for /Bio on Scrappers is that pumping S/L defense via sets is the easiest way to get your survivability. This is mostly because theres a 5% S/L bonus at the 3-piece bonus for 1 of the Scrapper ATOs. End result is that you can get 10% S/L defense from slotting 3 pieces in 2 different powers. Throw in a 5-slot set for the melee damage Winter IO & you've gained 15% S/L defense for a total of 11 slots. It's very possible there's ways to get similar numbers for positional defense & I just don't know about them, but I couldn't find anything close to the slotting efficiency of this 15%, & without any positional bonuses to start with I have a hard time imagining you could soft cap more than 1 position. Since /Bio already has solid-ish defenses to the E/N/F/C types, capping S/L defense will give you solid-but-not-exceptional coverage for most mob groups. I'd love to hear if anyone else has tips on pumping positional defenses for sets without any to start with. I had more to add but I've got some stuff to do, I'll come back to this later.
