Savage Melee Regeneration Scrapper

[mistagoat]

Looking for input on a Savage/Regen Scrap. Also, where is the best place for the 50% ato proc? Is it worth sacrificing the big recharge bonus to split the proc from the set?

 

I mainly duo with another regen scrapper, we're just looking for a fun ride to 50 and have no specific post 50 expectations for this toon but I'd like it to dish out some nice damage from now until 50+.

 

This is a leveling build with nothing catalyzed and no purps. I'm level 27 so far.

 

*better build a few posts down

I haven't fully done a Regen on HC and mine on Live was just common IOs. I will say I would shift the Celerity: Run Speed to Sprint and get the bonus there. You would ultimately move two slots from Super Speed. I would also look at trying to see how well you could make positional Def work versus typed. I played around building a /regen recently and came away with seeing how high positional was and wondered if that wasn't the better way to go for Def. Sure, no DDR, the Def will still be low, but at least it is something to look at. Just using an extra slot in Shred puts you at +21% Melee Def.

Savage melee is a low endurance primary, so you can skip Quick Recovery if you want.  I’d probably put the Crit Strikes proc in savage leap.  I would definitely split the scrapper strike ATO 3-3 for the defense bonus.

So after playing this for a while, the T1/2 power is an awful place for the 50% proc. It went off so rarely that it might as well have not been in the build at all! I just did a respec a couple nights ago and swapped the proc into Shred and it is much more successful! 

 

This allows me to keep Leap as a proc bomb and keep the big recharge bonus from the Critical Strike set. The FF proc in Vicious goes off very often as well.

 

I'm 45 now and my meager defense plus Shadow Meld soft caps ALL def. Thats usually all thats needed to get through most groups and if I need more I still have IH and MoG and DP and a quick heal! It's become pretty sturdy, however Sappers and Super Stunners and are target #1!

 

I went through a stretch in the 30s where I really wasn't enjoying it because Leap drew too much aggro to overcome before some of the def/res was in place and some of the powers were better slotted. It got much better in the early 40s! One thing that really surprised me was that the end usage was much higher than expected. With Quick Recovery and a low end set I thought it would sip blue. I guess it sort of does but its also very quick fire and it adds up. Again, it's getting better in the mid 40s as powers fill out. 

 

Definitely  having fun with it now!
