Unerring_Fool Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Howdy all. I'm pretty new and thinking of rolling a Katana/electric AT. I like the idea of Raiden with a sword essentially. Am I hurting myself longterm with this combo? Is there a better AT to do this on? I picked scrapper because crits make the happy chemical, but knowing I could have been better off with something else makes the sad chemical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thraxen Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Those will work well. Divine valance will help add defense to the resist based electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accidentally synergy still works for me :). Is Scrapper a good base for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thraxen Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Yes. Or tank would be good too as resist cap is higher. Scraps get the lighting snipe though so I would stick with scrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erratic1 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Arguably, you get more mileage out of Lightning Field on a Brute than either a Scrapper or Tanker due to Fury while retaining the higher resistance cap of a Scrapper. But Lightning Field is hardly going to be your major source of damage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Lightning Field is hardly going to be your major source of damage. I see. So a Brute is using lightning as one of their standard attacks while Scrapper is leaning heavily on Katana and the lightning is more of a nice to have instead?

Lightning Field is a damage effect surrounding your character so long as you leave it turned on. It periodically deals damage to things standing too close to you. But its damage from a secondary set, and your primary set is how any melee character--Scrapper, Stalker, Brute, or Tanker--is going to deal most of their damage.

Onlyasandwich Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Anything electric armor I tend to prefer in a brute. Higher resist cap. Ela will be way over capped on several values, wasting some of its power budget. Taunt aura. Only certain armors retain their taunt aura in scrappers, and Ela is not one. Without it, runners are very annoying solo. Damage auras scale nicely with fury. Katana is off course outstanding on a scrapper, but great on a brute as well. Tanker is a worthy contender too of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadio Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) If you're not sold on an AT yet, maybe consider an Elec/Ninja blaster. They still get a katana and crits, but there's a lot more lightning flying around. Edited February 17 by Arcadio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
