Build Request - Dual Blades/Energy Aura

[Tigraine]

I'm working on a Dual Blades Scrapper, and I've heard good things about DB/EA, but can't seem to find any builds for ideas.  Does anyone have one they can share?

[Saikochoro]

Dual blades is probably my favorite melee set and energy aura is one of my top three armors.  So its no surprise that my DB/EA scrapper is one of my favorites. This is the build I use.  Here are the highlights:

 

-Softcapped typed defense (except psi) with a little buffer on all except negative.  Energy drain can be used if you are getting debuffed to provide some extra defense.  

-Use energize whenever it is up.  While it is up you won't have any endurance problems and it provides a nice regen bonus.

-I take rune of protection on my energy aura characters.  It is up 50% of the time and offers a nice boost to damage resistance across the board.  Basically like a smaller crashless T9.  It stacks nicely with the baseline resists and set bonuses.

-Hasten is a few seconds shy of perma.

-Built without incarnates in mind so you are free to choose whatever incarnates you want.

 

This build focuses on the blinding feint + attack vitals combo (Ablaiting>Vengeful>Sweeping). This is the reason that the critical strikes set and proc is in vengeful slice (we want sweeping strike to crit).  Ablaiting and sweeping have the -res procs in there to help boost your damage. In my experience this does great damage and has the benefit of suiting both single target and AoE needs.  You have typhoons edge for some extra AoE if you need it.  1K cuts is useable, but I really only use it as a mule for set bonuses and don't really use the power all that often.  Play with the build to see the totals with rune on and off as well as with energy drain on and off.

Thanks!  I'll definitely try this out.

[Tigraine]

I've had a little time to look over the build in detail, and overall it looks pretty solid.

 

I admit I'm curious about the decision to break up the Scrapper's Strike set and lose out on the nice Res bonus. I understand that the Gaussian's proc can give a decent damage boost, but with Blinding Feint being one of the lower damage attacks in the chain to begin with, is it worth the tradeoff?  Similarly, I can look at the missed Tox/Psi Res from Hecatomb and Armageddon, though given the infrequency of those damage types I can better understand this (though the mez resistance is still decent).

 

I filled some of the empty slots in the build, mostly with basic IOs.  I did drop a Zephyr knockback reduction into Super Jump; figured it couldn't hurt.  Also, Celerity's +Stealth into Sprint because why not?

 

The Sorcery pool doesn't really fit with the theme of the character I'm building (science-based), but there aren't really any better options I can find, and RoP is a great Res boost, so I may just handwave it.

[Nemu]

How important is softcapping fire/ice and negative def?

 

I don't think it's all that important for 99% of game play. S/L/E is enough, with mez resist and a self heal and def debuff resistance it's more durable than melee blasters and scrappers also have access to shadow meld on top of ROP. For the 1% of game content that does feature pure fire/ice/neg/psi damage a quick recharging shadow meld to absorb the alpha is usually enough.

 

I always like having ranged options on melee ATs. Even with my Titan/EA I fit moonbeam and super proc soul storm in. My DB/EA has the same treatment:

The Sorcery pool doesn't really fit with the theme of the character I'm building (science-based), but there aren't really any better options I can find, and RoP is a great Res boost, so I may just handwave it.

While the 6 piece scrapper strike set bonus is nice, it isn’t make or break in my opinion. You lose out of 6% s/l, but I don’t really think you’ll notice. When rune is up it caps out s/l anyway.

 

The guassians proc though is noticeable when it fires. It won’t fire as often as when you have it in a normal build up power, but it will fire every so often giving you a nice boost. The proc increases your damage and so it would apply after it hits and runs it’s roll. The damage bonus would then apply for 5 seconds (I think that’s amount of time), which is enough to go through the whole rotation.  It’s not really there to make blinding feint hit harder, but rather because blinding feint is what procs it. 
 

While you can go for more toxic/psi resist if you want, I like having the extra damage from the -res procs myself. However, there is no issue with going for the 6 piece bonus on those sets.

 

The sorcery pool is probably the biggest break from the norm. That is just my thing. I take it on EA, shield, ninjitsu, and SR because I can softcap without maneuvers on those and I really like the added mitigation. I also take it on Regen.  Most builds I put up will have it in there because that is my flavor. However, it certainly isn’t required.  You could go down the leadership pool instead if you wanted to and get closer to the incarnate softcap.  Whatever works best for you and your concept. I have just found that rune of protection has worked out great for me.

Well, it's not just the 6% s/l; between the three incomplete sets you're missing out on 30% mez resist, which would bump most of the status res from 50% to 80%.  But I don't know how critical that is compared to the damage output; stuff can't mez you if it's dead.

 

Good point on Gaussian's; for some reason I was thinking of it only applying to the first attack; not the full 5 seconds.

 

Leadership is a possibility; I would just worry about the toggles being too END heavy.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a problem getting mezzed with energy aura. So I’ve never chased after mez bonuses. Leadership toggles can be expensive, but energize works wonders for endurance management. You could also go down a completely different pool power too. 

[hejtmane]

As a scrapper Mez protection is something you just should no worry about; I have only seen it matter with Ghost Widow on the STF and those buff does not solve ghost widow. Damage, recharge, defense , HP, regen and resistance are things you chase as a scrapper depending on your build.

@Nemu, I really like your build! What does your attack chain usually look like?

Edited January 22, 2021 by Zer0 Hour

[Nemu]

There is almost enough recharge to run binding -> ablating ->sweeping for single target and that was what I was originally shooting for when I set out to make this scrapper.

 

I have energize on auto, and there are enough other click powers I use that the need for a seamless rotation of the above chain is never necessary. For prolonged fights I will usually just splice in the snipe and the hold in between the BAS rotation. With energize almost perma and on auto I seldom need to use energy drain.

 

Typhoon is used when there are multiples, but I almost never use vengeful or nimble end game, it's just there for the set bonus.

@Nemu Cool. So you just skip the combos?

 

Thank you for the insight. I'm really enjoying the build so far!

@Nemu

Looks like your build is a little out of date.  Would you mind editing to add the forum upload or repost in the new Mids?  I would like to check it out for sure!!

 

Thanks

If you wanted to continue using ROP the build doesn't change much, take a lot out for ROP and put the final ATO into nimble slash for a easy 6% resist, change the 3 slots in ROP to 3 unbreakable guard for some end discount and energy resist and max HP from the unique. That's a quick and dirty edit.

 

I went back to tough/weave though, stayed on the semi-glass cannon route by electing not to throw slots to hardcapping S/L resists. Got even more recharge, and this is what I respecced into:

If you wanted to continue using ROP the build doesn't change much, take a lot out for ROP and put the final ATO into nimble slash for a easy 6% resist, change the 3 slots in ROP to 3 unbreakable guard for some end discount and energy resist and max HP from the unique. That's a quick and dirty edit.

 

I went back to tough/weave though, stayed on the semi-glass cannon route by electing not to throw slots to hardcapping S/L resists. Got even more recharge, and this is what I respecced into:

@NemuLove the comment on the end and thanks so much for reposting!!

 

I guess I will take a look but I just cant do it without a travel power so flight with ROP is more ideal I suppose

I've got one I'll share below.  I didn't like /ea and ended up rolling db/sr and it was sooooooooo much better.

If you wanted to continue using ROP the build doesn't change much, take a lot out for ROP and put the final ATO into nimble slash for a easy 6% resist, change the 3 slots in ROP to 3 unbreakable guard for some end discount and energy resist and max HP from the unique. That's a quick and dirty edit.

 

I went back to tough/weave though, stayed on the semi-glass cannon route by electing not to throw slots to hardcapping S/L resists. Got even more recharge, and this is what I respecced into:

There are people that seemingly can't play a anything without softcap defenses and hardcap resists. Don't be a scrub, man the $#@% up. 😁

How do you like DB/Energy overall as a Scrapper? Seems like it could be a good combo with all that recharge.

I guess I will take a look but I just cant do it without a travel power so flight with ROP is more ideal I suppose

There's athletes run from P2W and it's variants, and you can buy temp jet packs from P2W, They are slower than pool travel powers but they'll get you around just the same.

At the time I made this build, the changes to stone armor hasn't taken place yet, so keep that context for my comments below:

 

I look at synergies. If I wanted a high recharge DB build that can skip the combos I have to have a few things in place:

A secondary that offers a recharge boost - that narrows my candidates to electric armor, super reflexes, rad armor and energy aura

A secondary that offers some sort of endurance management tool, high recharge builds mean that I will burn through end quicker, and high recharge builds also lend themselves to procs which further compounds the endurance issue - that narrows my choices down to electric armor, rad armor and energy aura

A secondary that is easy to build for survival, which gives me the option to slot powers not for survival but for recharge/procs - that narrows my choices down to energy aura, because I would have had to dedicate an inordinate amount of resources to electric or rad armor to shore up survival. Since DB doesn't have any mitigation my survival depends entirely on the armor set, rad might do a little better than electric but it's far easier to just softcap Energy aura and call it a day.

 

So do i like the build? Of course. I saw the synergies, set my expectations accordingly and the build does what I expect it to do.

 

I would have stuck with EA even with the stone armor changes. EA has superior endurance management tools and that matters to me since I don't spend all my time playing at 50 spamming ageless. There's no doubt that stone armor will do more damage though. EA also has a proper taunt aura.

 

People that frown at the fact that the build doesn't have 75% S/L resist will probably not like the build, but like I said, don't be a scrub. man the $#%@ up! 😁

Haha I love it. You read my mind, I was going to ask how you felt it stacked up to the new /Stone. I guess /Stone will output more damage, and it does have SOME endurance management.

 

And nice! EA has a taunt aura, even on scrappers? I could see that being a big push for EA over Stone, if you plan to solo a lot.

Yeah, those just make me feel sad because I am not going fast enough 😞

 

I guess you can get the mission TP and others to get around and save time too but ugh, so slow

[Thrax]

With /sr you won’t need any end boost. I played both db /ea and /sr to incarnate levels and /sr is just better. Especially when any -def debufs are involved. Both t9s are negligible but good mules and might be more relevant if content gets harder. The heal is cool but isn’t as good as the resist that scales. 

[Saikochoro]

I figured I would share my updated DB/EA scrapper build.  A few points:

• All types softcapped, except of course psi and toxic.
• I beefed up the resistances mainly on s/l/e/n
• I have entropic aura set at 5 enemies for an average.
• Overall I was more focused on mitigation (boosting resists) than offense, though I haven't been disappointed damage wise.

It's a really good combo. You should check out the Pylon Thread. There are a few very high performing builds with that combo there.

 

Dead is the best status effect you can apply to something. Outside of maybe Confuse, which helps you make things dead.

EA can get further -def debuff protection through Ageless. An SR might just want Rebirth as where EA can skip it with having Energize. EA might not need Ageless, but ED's cast time isn't great, and I would rather spend time killing.
