Hello everyone! Since i got back to CoH i got 25 lvl 50s but only 2 scrappers : Staff/Rad (super fun and tankie) and my TW/Elec. I remember i decided to tear down my TW/Elec due low survavility mostly for the huge cool down time that Elec heal (Energize) has. 

 

I would like to give this character one more chance to get back into CoH life. So i was wondering what would be a good approach when i start to plan a build on Mids for this guy? Softcap resist and or softcap defences? Go for an insane + rech bonus to cut drastically elec heal CD? If not also grab Medicine power pool (i dont like this) for a better survavility?

 

If you have any advices on what would be a good strategy for planning a build for this TW/Elec that will be appreciated. Im open to hear ideas even if you advice is to delete this character because is an awful combo. 

 

Thanks in advance for any feedback / thoughts about this.

This is my build currently on my KM/ELEC Scrapper.  I've felt fine going with the idea of max the resists, +RCH, and as much +HP as you can squeeze in (without really chasing it).

 

Done this on the idea that I really didn't want to go after a defense focused build.  I tried Power Transfer set in Power Sink, since it has the +Heal Proc in the set, but that was just meh in application.  So, back to the current set I use.

 

Soul Storm is slotted with Lockdown Proc, which I take the hold because I like having a hold and the animation is nice 🙂

 

Obviously you'd likely want to do things a bit differently, including possibly taking Hasten.  TW also has an attack you can get Melee Defense with.

 

If I was TW/Elec, I'd go for Resists/Recharge and MAYBE, if I can fit it in get the Parry.

@BrandX thanks for sharing your build. Lot of useful things there for planning. My question is: you are placing superion ATO in Lightning Field just to get the set proc triggering often as possible? Is this correct? 

 

Thanks!

 

That IO is just an extra 3% to Crit always on bonus (like LotG +7.5% RCH IO).  It doesn't proc.  Critical Strikes that I have in Concentrated Strike, however, does proc.

 

So, I have it in Lightning Field as I wanted the +6% S/L Resist bonus and I wasn't worried about procs in a damage aura.

Well i spent the whole morning gathering IOs and stuff and finally came out with a build for my Scrapper. Handled to cap resists and softcap M/R/A defenses with a decent +rech. This build requires to spam Defensive Sweep in order to keep melee defense softcapped. So far  my scrapper is doing good in 54 x 8. Of course im open to any suggestions.
