I need some advice on what to put into Ablative Carapace, Follow Through, and Genetic Contamination. i had blistering cold, avalanche, and Preventive med in them before. Im just not sure that is the best option. Also just critique where im at in the build please. Thanks.

Titan weapons/Bio might be the highest dpm, but it's clunky as hell to use and your resistance values (when using Defensive Adaptation) are compromised to increase your damage output (Offensive Adaptation).  Next to TW, I think Dark Melee or War Mace, paired with Radiation Armor or Shield Defense would be the strongest, highest damage, easy to solo builds.  The de-buffing effects and increased recharge rate, coupled with  the regen and great endurance, puts Rad very close to SD in terms of damage output.  Shield's slightly higher damage output is balanced by its vulnerability to defense debuffs and no heal power, but both make soloing a breeze for a Melee toon, even before incarnates.

You can pair WM with Energy Armor for extreme strong and prettiness.

Which is better in your opinion SR or Nin?

With Dark Melee, go SR. Then you get self-heal and end recovery that SR doesn't have, plus max defense and DDR.

With most other primaries I'd go Nin for the self-heal and endurance recovery.

No love for energy melee?

My titan/bio is mostly retired, because i solo'd all the content i wanted for it. If you decide to go with that, here's my 2 cents:

- yes, you can kill av's and gm's no problem. in fact, that's pretty much all i used it for (envenomed daggers temp is a must-have for scrappers for this)

- it is maddeningly slow when it does its attacks, and with the i27 changes, the attack chain is now a little off. i don't play it as often, so i never bothered to rejigger my chains for the new changes

- yes, you can farm, but again, it's slow. it's def not optimal to farm with (optimal are the fire brutes, of which there are many guides)

- yes, it costs an arm and a leg

- i felt like mine didnt bloom until i got at least level 3 of alpha incarnate (musculature) and ageless. so you will need a lot of patience leveling it up

 

- a good resource is the 'scrapper pylon thread'. i think someone even put together a spreadsheet listing results. those will give you a sense of which builds can dps and survive. not to be taken as bible, but should get you some good ideas.

On Live I farmed with my fire/sd back in the day I farmed werewolves for fun in AE but yes it farms better than DM if you are going to do av's you will need greens or if you are doing the old challenge no temps or inspiration we did back in the day I went medicine pool which allowed me to kill over 20 different av's that way per-incarante.
