Savage/Shield build assistance

[the mauler]

Hi all. Quick word of thanks for the HC team in bringing back my favorite game. I've been playing since just after Live started and I'm thrilled that its back. Ok, on to business. I like to have balanced builds with decent Def and Res status etc but NOT at the expense of decent damage as well. Please take a look and let me know of any improvements that will make Odile as godlike as possible. Many thanks!

At first glance:

 

Get that ATO set out of Shield Charge. Or at least the +50% piece.  That piece is referred to on the forms, generally, as "ATO2."  It is a very important Proc on a Scrapper and Shield Charge is the very last place you want it to be as you want a chance to trigger it far more often than SC will be up.

 

On Savage I found it interesting to use in Leap, (looks like you've already figured out Leap's proc rate) for the guaranteed firing, but even there at best it is only going to be available every 12-16s depending on global recharge.  Which is still twice as often as it would be in Charge.

 

Interesting doesn't mean ideal though, but I couldn't think of a better place for it, and if you are quick you can fire off VS, (maybe SS), and activate RF before the buff expires.  Others have put it elsewhere, but definitely not in Charge.

 

Also, I had to turn off the FF+rech piece in Kick.  Having that activated in mids will give you a false read on global recharge, it only triggers when using the power in which it is slotted and it only last 5s.

 

End usage against recovery looks pretty high, but maybe you're building for Ageless?

 

If you're using Moonbeam regularly instead of one of the primary attacks, consider moving slots over from the lesser used power.

Thanks for the input. I saw a build with the proc in kick and put it there in hope. I saw after here in the forums but forghot to take it out. Duh. silly me. that it didnt work well there so thanks for the reinforcement. Ill' replace that. Also, thanks for the input on the ATO in charge. Of course that makes sense! I appreciate the comments.
