2) Oppressive Gloom to stun minions and reduce incoming attacks. I think it needs 5 slots but I'm going to drop Absolute Amazement for Rope a Dope. 2 reasons: (1) the price.... I'm not sure I'm ready to invest in that set for this build just yet and (2) rope a dope provide s/l resist which is pretty important on the ITF especially when it comes to added resist debuff resist. 

 

I just took out my Stone/Dark scrapper through an ITF, and I was surprised at how well she stunned even given the boss mez protection shouts.  Now this was on a full team, but I kept running off into a new group, Folded Space, Fault, and everyone below boss level was stunned before any of the bosses could shout.  And then they were all dead.

 

On my scrapper, I've got four pieces of Absolute Amazement in Fault and used Razzle Dazzle for OG.  Gets you a little melee defense and chance for immobilize doesn't hurt.

My problem isn’t stuns or even fighting mass mobs of bosses… it’s the dwarf recharge debuffs on these ITF solo runs at  8/+4

 

stuns aren’t an issue either with the right sets on top of DA med protection.
