Tips on my claws/sr build please?

[The Time Witch]

Trying to use some IOs I have laying around to make a build without buying too much more enhancements. Please let me know what you think:

Number wise it isn't bad, but you don't need Swipe. I even have Strike unslotted with just it's initial slot. You don't need Eviscerate either as Spin and Shockwave have better DPA and can be chained with FU. Your DDR is 'only' at 93.66%. While yes, your F/C Res is better, I prefer mine having better S/L Res as that is far more common. Cold is honestly rather limited in the mobs which use it.

 

I accept my use  of the Sorcery pool can be theme breaking, but I default to using it for RoP. I can see about doing a respec to remove it once you get far enough in Incarnates, but I haven't hit that point where I am comfortable doing that. My minimum bar for end game soloing is 'any' map for general content at a minimum of +3x8 with as few of deaths as possible so removing any mitigation is difficult for me to do. The Melee Incarnate isn't up 100% of the time, so it is a nice fill-in.

 

I won't argue over taking FA vs CP. I accept CP is there as an emergency button depending on the mob. SR doesn't have genuine End drain protection outside of high defense. As someone who aims to solo as previously mentioned, oh there are maps where end drain is an issue from the sheer amount of it. You can keep FA, just know there are times to have some Blues on hand. If you vastly team, then hell, you're build looks great. 😄

 

I added in my picks for Incarnates, but Rebirth vs Barrier is a current debate I am going through. I think the answer is more based on if you are doing smart gameplay versus which one you pick. If you mindlessly jump into into any pack, you're going to be dead either way. Interface has options.

 

Some of my slotting in game needs to be updated to this since I recently changed the build, and I'm not fully T4 yet, but this is essentially what I have in game soloing Cim at +3x8. I have but currently not really using Hasten. Maneuvers is a default pick until I try something else out, but my lean is to keep it. No build is likely done, but I've taken Claws to 50 five times IIRC, and SR to 50 three times. I've gone through the build looking for any change of even one slot more than I can count, so yeah, it's pretty damn close to being 'done.'

Thank you, I do vastly team. I do mostly msrs and tfs and event stuff. I'll see about tweaking the build more.

Sorry, but is there a place I could view your "Without Pause" build? I am working on a Claws/WP Scrapper and I need better survivability and a plan going forward. Thanks in advance, and sorry for the inconvenience.

My Claws/wp is a Brute. I did recently go back over the older build and cleaned it up a little. I did try rebuilding it from the ground up as how I more prefer to play it these days, but I hadn't finished it, nor come close, nor done enough testing with it to be willing to share it. The person who gave me this build said they had a better version and stated the numbers they were able to hit without offering the newer build. I think my rework gets there close enough and may have some improvements based on newer sets. There's some freedom in the Incarnates which I didn't really list in the build.
