Kat/SR First Attempt

[Severend]

Hello all!

 

I recently asked for help with a build in the Stalker forum and I applied some of the great advice I received there to this Kat/SR Scrapper build.  This is only my second full build (well, 6th version of the second build) in MIDS and I wanted to run it by the experts to see if I'm missing anything obvious or if anything can be improved.  Money is no object. 

 

I'm fairly set on the power selections but I'm absolutely open to recommendations.  I really want to keep Super Jump and I built the toon for a bit of running speed for maneuverability. 

 

This toon will mainly be used for examplaring down for TF's, random lvl 50+ teams and the occasional AE S/L farm. 

 

I'm not 100% sure about the incarnates here so any advice there would be helpful too.  ANY assistance will be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you!

[Bill Z Bubba]

Only thing that really jumps out at me is the lack of the passive scrapper +crit chance IO. I see why you don't have it, but I can't see running a scrapper these days without both.

[Severend]

I went back and forth on that!  Do you think the potential benefits of the increased +crit and associated bonuses for 6-slotting Superior Scrapper's Strike outweighs the potential for increased recharge from the Force Feedback proc?  I can't figure out how to get more recharge out of the build without making more sacrifices.  Still learning! 🙂 

 

Also, I was thinking of swapping the Superior Avalanche set in The Lotus Drops with the Superior Critical Strikes set in Flashing Steel.  

 

I made all three of those changes in the build below.

I don't know. Honestly, that would be the exact kind of question I'd take up with pylons in the RWZ.

[Severend]

I've never actually tried the whole Pylon thing.  Never had a toon good enough to attempt it.  

[ninja surprise]

Just personal opinion: more crits equals more one-shots and I prefer that over a little more recharge to cut something again. Don't have to cut it again if it's already defeated.

[Doomguide2005]

Which is a limit to pylon testing vs testing vs mobs.  With mobs some of your dps is basically wasted when your foes has a sliver left.  That can only happen once vs a pylon.  So it becomes a judgement on how often you overkill your foe and if the crits speed kill time (1 or 2 shots vs 3+) against mobs measured against the accumulated extra damage against hard targets (GM's, AV's, etc.) measured as pylon times/dps.
