Some build advice for my Sith-inspired scrapper

[BeornOTNS]

Howdy gang! I have been looking into making a Sith-inspired character for a while now. And, I understand that there are all kinds of ways to go about this, (Brute, Scrapper, Stalkers ATs, Willpower and Ninjitsu secondaries, Electricity and Katana primaries), but, for me, I wanted something a little different.

 

Hence, Darth Beorn. A Dual Blades / Energy Aura Scrapper. The positional defenses are good for most things, and the resists are... okay. But, with the incarnate, accolade and epic pools I think I have a decent shot at making something nice.

 

I must state that inf is not a barrier (though spending 100 million influence on ONE Hami-O is something I am rather unlikely to do since I could get an entire six-slot power very rared out for the same), and I routinely spend between 500 million and 750 million inf on a character. So, if I could make something better, but it'll cost me, I am totally fine with that.

 

Conversely, if I am spending more than I need, and another solution would give me more recharge, or resist, or defense in Negative/Toxic/Psionic... I am all ears.

 

Please, no criticism is too much. I am not a great mids user in any case; I won't take any offense.

I’d do db/sr. My db/sr had a Jedi outfit. I have a tank that is sr/kat. They aren’t dirty villian siths though lol. Can always use judgement ion for the force lighting too. Electric/ninja blaster might be cool too. Still get few sword attacks. 

[SomeGuy]

Just want to say HELL YEAH at DB/ENA for your sith. Mine is also.

 

As for build advice? Vengeful Slice doing a SHORYUKEN with a sword is awesome looking as all get out, but it isn't exactly the most effective (for my playstyle at least).

 

Something to note. ENA DOES have a taunt aura, but it is noticeably weaker then other sets that have one. You can get runners.

 

Something to think about. Vorpal Judgement. Just seems to thematically go with a force user to me. Ion...actually that does too. Nice call. FORCE LIGHTNING RARR

All of this. My Jedi is a DB/EnA user as well. It just so happens that the combo is top tier as well 😂

 

I agree, Vengeful Slice’s Dragon punch animation is the business.
