DB/SR

[Xavek1]

Making a Dual Gladius wielding Roman Scrapper. Goal is to get high recharge, and avoid 1000 Cuts, as I hear the animation lock isn't worth the button press. I think the only combo I will go for is the empower one. Looking for guidance or a good build to take on +4/+8 content and be relatively effective.

You should still go for Attack Vitals.

 

Empowered when exempt below using Attack Vitals which you use below the more optimum BF > AS > SS > RoF (or Snipe) > Repeat

DB / Ninjitsu is my main and I show it off a little here:

 

 

It might be worth considering Ninjitsu for the broader toolbox it gets, but nothing irritates me more than when I ask for input on a build and people start telling me to play something else instead. Specific to your question, first I'd follow the DB powers I took as they give you two smooth attack chains - one for groups and one for single-target - both of which allow you to still take advantage of useful combos without having to chase them, which is to say that they're complimentary to what you're doing, not the focus of what you're doing.

 

• Attack Chain #1 (for groups): BF -> NS -> AS -> TE
• Attack Chain #2 (for single-target): BF -> SS -> NS -> AS

 

I also get into a discussion about another build I'm running - Claws/SR - here:

 

 

There's some good insight into how to build a SR Scrapper there. And with smart slotting, you don't need to go crazy with the purple inspirations like I'm showing there. I've got that character in her 40's and she's at around 55% on all three positional defenses and 95% DDR without a single purple in the build.
