Choosing an Alpha for Kat/SR

[drgantz]

I'm primarily thinking of Agility and Musculature.

With Agil, I wonder if the Def Bonus would be overkill.

Muscul would be good for Dmg and Def Debuff, but it also  has an Immob bonus, which would be wasted.

 

Does anyone have a favorite Alpha for their Scrapper?

Musculature Radial is my favorite for the Damage, End Mod and Run Speed.  The Immobilization, Defense Debuff and To Hit Debuff may or may not get much use, depending on power choices.

 

Agility, last I recalled, hurt proc builds.  I used it on a Ninjitsu Scrapper before, but I switched to Musculature.

 

I use Spiritual on my Regen Scrapper, but that's a matter of trying to up the survival on my Regen, or else I'd go Musculature.

Ditto on my Claws/SR, buffing damage and endmod with +run speed just fun on top.

 

Spiritual is my go to for my defenders, particularly the Empaths.  Often the choice for my Controllers as well.

Thanks for your replies.

I also have a /WP Scrapper.  Maybe I'll use Spiritual on that one.

The issue there, is WP has no powers that are helped by Recharge.

 

Your attacks may get help, but I'd look into if you really want it on a /WP.

Agreed, no expert on Willpower (had one on Live at 50, none here yet) but WP doesn't rely on clicks for defense where recharge would help like it would, for example, a Regen.  It's all toggles and auto powers except its t9 which isn't effected by recharge iirc.  Which alpha is best probably depends on which you need most-->defense, resistance or heal/regen which is going to be build depedent.

Nope.  It's T9 can't be enhanced for Recharge either.  Only on Stalkers, does Recharge help with WP, and even on Stalkers, it's one power.

Do you use procs in your attacks? If so, Agility and Spiritual will affect your procs. Musculature is the way to go.

I only use Musculature on anything.
