DB/DA Build Check

[Neogumbercules]

The recent thread about DB got me making a DB/DA scrapper, which is a re-roll of my main. Claws/DA was the first character I ever made and I really enjoyed it. This was back during I4 when DA super sucked compared to the likes of Regen and Invul.

 

Anyway, I wanted to focus on the BF>Attack Vitals Chain and there were a few points I wanted to stick to:

• S/L/M soft-cap without incarnates
• Both scrapper sets in the attach chain
• Force Feedback proc in Vengeful
• Lots of recharge
• Enough endurance to survive
• S/L Resist cap and high resist to everything else
• Gaussian's in BF.

 

Anyway I think I've hit most of those goals but I just wanted to post it here and see if anyone else had any ideas. I know /DA isn't the be-all,  end-all of sets in this game but I have a soft spot for it and really wanted to remake my main and do him justice (Claws was just maybe getting boring for me).

I'm gonna post my own build check here now that I've finished this build on live and played with it some. I can confirm that it's an absolute monster. My biggest problem is runners. No one wants to stand and fight an unkillable stab machine. I had a "cheap" build that I slapped together using sets like Crushing Impact and Obliteration and Aegis just to play with while I saved up for the expensive build and while that was good, this is just on a completely different level now.

 

Some thoughts:

• If you put a gun to my head I might remove the chance for build up and put that slot to work somewhere else, maybe 2 slot hasten and +5 it.
• Critical Strikes procs like crazy in Sweeping Strike. SS>Ball Lightning>Typhoons is a big opening salvo.
• Sweeping Strike recharges really fast. I can almost have an attack chain of SS>Typhoons>Repeat.
• This is one of the strongest and most fun Scrapper builds I've played.
• Cardiac makes the world go round.
• I went with degenerative over reactive and Assault over Melee in-game. I felt like the HP debuff would be more useful than the -res since hard, high HP targets are the only thing that's gonna last more than a few seconds against me anyway. For Hybrid, I just don't need the mitigation from Melee so I went for Assault to deal more damage.
