honoraryorange Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 So I'm looking to start up a new Scrapper soon. I think I want to try Titan Weapon out, but I'm not sure what to pair it with. Combo suggestions? Build suggestions/links? I don't care about early game, or even mid game really. Assume 50, full IOs, no budget to worry about and mostly playing in TFs, Incarnate trials and groups/farms. I'd like to avoid secondaries I already have on other recent characters, so no to: Shield, Fire, and Rad Any fun/cool ideas? I was thinking of trying SR, because I like the dichotomy of huge weapons and pure speed, but... not so sure considering how many other sets can soft cap defense these days.

marcussmythe Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 My default suggestion with TW is WP. TW demands animation times, endurance, lots of recharge, and player focus. Willpower almost never presses a clicky, provides copious endurance, and makes almost no demands on the player's attention. Now, WP doesnt have +RCHG, but nothing does everything and its other advantages help you have design room for the END costs. Outside of Willpower, any set that provides some combination of recharge, endurance, limited attention, and little need to PRESS BUTTON NAO TO NOT DIE would be a good choice. I can see SR as an interesting choice. Energy Armor as well, maybe? Invuln might be interesting, inasmuch as once IOed to hell and back, Invuln will be so tough you can almost totally ignore your secondary. Or you could go Bioarmor. Frankly, as the highest DPS AT and Powerset Combo in the game at present, and also the most demanding Scrapper combo (in terms of care and feeding) someone (Are you here, Kaledin?) should just write a guide to that exact character type. Bio is incredible, it feeds you endurance, it can give you a silly damage buff, but its got a couple of massive drawbacks (its a mixed mitigation DEF set with no DEF Debuff Resistance, and its regen-based set that has cycle 3 clicky powers that provide some mix of heal, absorb, and regen between them). Fair warning, Ive got a TW/Bio that I have a love/hate relationship with. Great Justice - Invuln/Energy Melee Tank Ann Atomic - Radiation/Super Strength Tank Elecutrix - Electric Blast/Super Reflexes Sentinel Ramayael - Titan Weapons/Bio Scrapper C'len - Spines/Bio Brute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobu Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 If you're willing to spend lots of money, Bio. If you're on a budget, Willpower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoundsTooth Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Sorry to hijack this thread. I've been considering a TW/Ice scrapper. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with that combo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeling Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 TW/WP works really well. It was my main on live, and I remade him for Homecoming, and he's still as excellent as ever. If you like the idea of TW/SR, consider TW/Nin. This plays up the dichotomy even more IMO, and the endurance refill would be really helpful for TW's thirst.

Murcielago Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 You should pair it with shield defense. ಠ_ಠ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bio Armor is superior to Willpower if you fully IO it out. Otherwise, Willpower works well even on SO's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
