TW/BIO General PVE build (Feedback)

[Arbor1]

Looking for a bit of feedback on my build, I have made some compromises to add utility, such as not taking combat jumping in favor of superspeed. the other thing i cant decide on is what to do with the slot shadow meld is currently in, i am also considering teleport friend for TF/mish ghosting. Shadow meld seems very useful but this combo already kinda lends itself to having lots of things to do, and reducing that would be nice. 

Any input is appreciated.

Hey, we spoke in game earlier so I came over to check out your build.  All in all, it seems pretty solid.  Yeah, it's not soft-capped but it's close enough and one swing of defensive sweep puts you over the softcap to smash, but more importantly, melee.  And Bio as a set is all about layering.  You've got defense, resist, absorb, regen, and heal.  I probably would have built it a little different if I had done it from scratch, but that's just idiosyncrasies.   I did, however move some things around.

 

I switched the Overwhelming Force quad in Crushing Blow to the Mako's Quad.   Same exact enhancement values but it should be cheaper.  If you already have the OF, slot away.

 

Next I moved the slot with Steadfast Protection +defense from Tough to Hardened Carapace.  You get the defense benefits at a lower level and you also get more bang for your buck as Steadfast also gives you a little more resistance enhancement as well and is better served with the larger base of HC and the extra Toxic resist.  I also moved the +HP from HC to tough and put in the other 3 pieces in lieu of Reactive Armor.  Evolving Armor was also switched from Reactive to Unbreakable.  At the end, it's a loss of 0.6 S/L defense for a gain of 5.7 melee defense.  You also gain some E/N resistance and endurance discounts.

 

I took three slots from boxing and added the Reactive Defenses Scaling resist proc to environmental modification, a PvP damage proc to Follow Through, and a Defense/Endurance LoTG in Maneuvers.

 

I then took the two heal slots from DNA Siphon and put all six Preventive Medicine in Ablative and switched the 5 slots of Panacea to Parasitic.  The switching isn't as important as the six slots in Preventive, which nets you more recharge, another endurance discount, and that absorb proc to jump in when needed.

 

Finally, I exchange Shadow Meld for CJ since you said you didn't plan to use it much anyway.  That keeps the LoTG recharge and gets you a little more defense.

 

All in all, the numbers are fairly similar and you could completely ignore my suggestions.  It's your baby.  But here are my suggested revisions:

[Arbor1]

I greatly appreciate the look-over! I think i will run with your revision with only a slight edit: I currently have Build momentum bound to Q for easy use, so i was thinking of having Q activate shadow meld as well. They have nearly the same recharge time, and it would simplify the "pre mob run in" routine which i was hoping to do. 

Im pretty excited to get this build deployed, ive been running with level 40 IOs for a while and even then this combo is a powerhouse. Fully set out it should be scary. 

For incarnates i have planned:
Alpha: Musculature Core
Judgement: Mighty radial (massive Knockup for some mitigation, suits char. theme)
Destiny: Ageless or Barrier? Ageless seems nice but i wouldnt really benefit from more recharge, or +end. It's mainly about the debuff resistance which i lack. Barrier just makes you invincible so maybe that is better. 
Lore: No idea really, ive heard the radial knives of vengence are good? 
Interface: Diamagnetic: -tohit for more mitigation/ i already do enough damage.

The thing with TW/Bio on a scrapper is that for PVE you really don't need purples or even catalysts to be effective.  While I like both the builds above, if you -JUST- want a leveling build for PVE content, this one is Melee DEF capped and almost capped S/L Resists as well.  I've been using it for leveling, will likely respect into the second build posted above post 50, but for the climb up, buy Attuned and try this?
