Duck-Smokes-Quack Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 /Ice seems really interesting on scrappers, i have to try it (shame it doesnt get a taunt aura but oh well) What primary to pair? Anything have any particularly strong syngeries? Dark Melee: Classic to pair with defense set -tohit, double end management powers + heal Claws: Never tried it ... everyone always says its amazing other? Proabky leaning towards Claws/Ice unless theres a really strong primary ive overlooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxman100 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 My Claws/Ice scrapper is my favorite scrapper right now. Icy Bastion can help out when defense fail. Add in Rune of Protection if that's your flavor and go to town. It does take a fair amount of investment if you want to push multiple damage types close to soft cap levels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microcosm Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Yep. Agree with the above. Claws/Ice is probably favorite scrapper as well. It does require a good amount of investment but really shines at the high end. 1 Inspiration maker's guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandX Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Teamed with a Claws/Ice Scrapper with my own Claws/Stone Scrapper the other day. They seemed to be doing really well. I hear Ice Armor isn't as good as other sets, but I do recall enjoying it on live with my Ice/Ice Tanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja surprise Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 If you do Spines/Ice you get double damage auras and stacking slow effects. And you can make the Spines look like ice. My other favorite was Dark Melee / Ice. You can skip Dark Consumption because Energy Absorption is better: boosts your defense and recharges much quicker. Claws is just a good set overall if you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZorkNemesis Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 +1 for Spines/Ice. Extra damage aura through Quills and Icicles and Spine attacks have slow effects that synergize well with Chilling Embrace. Spines animations are kind of lame though; Spine Burst, Impale and Ripper take days to fire off and can get annoying at times. I would say maybe not try Axe/Ice though. I built one for a name concept alone and it feels like such a slog playing him. Axe attacks are just way too damn slow for their own good, which sucks because Axe criticals are absolutely devastating; critting with Cleave is stupid strong. Other ideas: Rad gives another damage aura like Spines. Attacks are overall slow but Rad's splash damage mechanic makes up for it at times. Dark synergizes with Ice's defense based protections by adding some -ToHit to all your punches. Reundant end draining attack however, but hey free power skip! Ice, more stacking slows. Claws, solid set overall that generally works with everything. Currently playing on Indomitable as @Zork Nemesis; was a Protector native on live.

Thrax Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I have an ice/spines tank and it is a lot of fun, because of the reasons above. Heard the scrap t9 is better on a scrapper than tank. I have glacier on the tank but I’m unsure if I’ve ever actually had to use it. I have a spines/bio and having two damage auras is sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scrapper/Stalker T9 on Ice is a 15 30 second panic/alpha button. It provides a sharp boost to recovery and resistance to everything but psi during that period, letting you shrug off a ton of damage on the spot. Regen and the new Scrapper/Stalker Stone have a similar power for their T9s. Bonus points, Scrappers and Stalkers can still take Hibernate anyway if they invest in Leviathan Mastery, which I personally did because Water Spout kicks ass.

It's actually 30 seconds and has +regen too, just fyi. It is probably the best t9 around, barring maybe light form.

Errants Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Another +1 Spines/Ice - Amazing combo, and Chilling/Quills/Icicles acts as a half-taunt aura, thanks to lotsa of hate, debuffs, and stacking slows. Death is the best debuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
