I recently got a katana/regen to fifty. I'll admit, i shamelessly Pled him in double xp weekend. He's my fourth fifty but he's also my first scrapper. I seem to be getting the hang of him so far but i was wondering how well this build pans out. I've heard like most scrapper combos that it can be a very solid set, and I love the endurance recovery (of course i did just main a PB for a while). Was wondering how it stacked up compared to some other combos though, like what its main strength is. Any tips guys?

Alright, i've got a revised build here. I think its better overall, although a ton of people are probably gonna have problems with the number of slots i gave photon seekers (or the fact that i even took photon seekers). I'm willing to shift those slots around, or even replace the move with another. Any suggested alterations or am I in the proverbial clear for my original goal of making a human/dwarf blapper/tanker?

yeah once again, i know the last two powers are very odd choices. I only picked those at that point because, really, i didn't have any other really viable options. As for reform essence and restore essence, to be honest i accidentally reversed the order i'd actually pick those in the build (damn similar names). I do plan on adding more slots to my attack powers, although i dont think light form is over slotted. Overall I'll focus more on the human attack powers then, that should give me more decent dps. Thanks for the tips guys. Oh, on a final note, i keep hearing mixed things, is pulsar useful or not?

I'll be honest i picked those two last because i don't really know what else to pick at that point. If I was going for extreme damage res in human form i guess i could work in toughness. I can work Pulsar in earlier as well, i just didn't know how it is in practice. After all Proton scatter looks fine on paper but people tell me time and again its worthless. As for picking quantum over thermal, i guess i just find myself wondering when I'm fighting guys who specifically do fire or ice damage, it doesn't seem to come up often. I can consider picking it though. One of my biggest concerns is that im not putting enough slots into important powers, or that maybe i'm putting too many slots into dwarf form.

Hey guys, been working on a PB build but i haven't made one before. I'm completely skipping nova in favor of human/dwarf build, with the ultimate goal being a decent tank dwarf and a well rounded blaster substitute PB. Here's the theoretical end build, if anyone has any suggestions on what i should do different, I'd really appreciate it. Its just slot placement at the moment.
