cprice Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I have a level 50 DB/DA scrapper. Fun playing, fun animations, but I'm looking for more output. I'm seeing that the only combo worth using, and I mostly agree, is Attack Vitals. With that being said, should my aim when making IO sets be shorter global recharge time bonuses and perma hasten in order to get that attack vitals combo up and much as possible? Of course we know DA is an endurance hog, so of course I will be focusing on recovery too. Any suggestions? Any builds? I'm not really comfortable with the hero builder as far as experimenting with build inside of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nihilii Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 You will be able to chain Blinding Feint - Attack Vitals consistently way before perma Hasten (and you want to use Blinding Feint, the damage boost is too good to pass). If you're getting perma Hasten levels of recharge, the dynamic generally becomes to forgo combos entirely and run Blinding Feint - Ablating Strike - Sweeping Strike - Ablating Strike, which does slightly more damage. Personally, I like sticking to BF -> AV, and not sweating recharge too much as a result. Thanks to the "bonus" combo damage, you're not losing as much as you would on a powerset where you're downgrading your attack chain. And it leaves you full freedom to build for defense, recovery, what have you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Think it's true with even just 2, but I don't remember exactly what % of SS's damage the proc does (IIRC it's something like 50%).

This will drop a considerable amount of recharge, but end management will be an issue if you do not. 2) With this build (and in general at about 260-270% total recharge put into ablating strike via recharge slotting + global recharge), you can start using the BF - Ablating - Sweeping - Ablating for single target. For group situations, BF - Attack Vitals combo is the way to go (can also use 1k Cuts as well to add to your AOE). 3) 2 power slots available for whatever you'd like. 4) If you have less than 260% recharge for ablating (from slotting + global recharge), use the BF - Attack Vitals combo for both ST and AOE. Should see a nice mix of damage and survivability with this build; only issue will be end management pre-ageless. Some slotting is flexible; if you want a usable nimble slash, you can drop the slots in confront and put them into nimble slash. I'd advise kinetic combat 4-piece + frankenslotted 2 whatever. Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cprice Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 Thanks a lot for the build. Pretty pricey, but I bet the gist of it and will work toward something like that. Thanks for the side note too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
