Actually, thats cool because some tanks are taking shots at us.

Power sink isn't just a tool to get endurance. You drain end from the mob around you. Add lightning field and they will have a hard time getting it back.

Do you think power surge is worth slotting for the hold aspect (or at the least, the bonuses from certain hold sets) or just the typical 3 to 1 recharge slots like other tier 9s?

I actually have a DB/WP/soul brute with all the combos, all the wp powers except the res, fitness, and 3 of the patron powers. Having all of the combos is not what its cracked up to be. After you see the pure total flashy bad a**ness of what is sweep and attack vitals, you will forget all about weaken and empower. You will find yourself forcing yourself to use them and getting upset when one of the attacks miss. After you manage to pull off all 4 combos on one mob seemlessly once or twice, that desire to have all four combos will fade fast. Ill be doing a respec when that brute's turn comes around in my alt rotation.

Is that no temps no insp also? If not, vanguard curse braker ftw

You don't "NEED" to pick up fighting to soft cap. It just makes it cheaper and gives you some res up front that you otherwise wouldn't have. I hate taking fighting pool (because of boxing/kick) so I always look for other ways around to get what I want. At times, there is no other way. Soft capping a def base set like /SR isn't one of those times.

If your build has everything you want/need. If all of your primary attacks are six slotted. If you have all of the uniques and procs slotted properly. If you really really can't figure out anything else to slot. Yay.

This is how I soloed my mind/storm troller to 50.

Ha! That idea went out the window the moment stalkers got broad sword, corrs got archery, and defenders got traps. No set that was thought to be the "exclusive" power set is safe anymore. Ninjitsu is no exception. As far as Dark Miasma go, defenders already have it so its only a matter of time till they figure out what powers to fit where and what powers to make to port the dark theme to trollers, blasters, and dominators. We all must except the fact that the term "exclusive set" will soon be extinct in this game.

Smoke flash is an escape tool. A real bad one at that considering the animaion time and the horried acc and not not being able to tell who got hit. Not only that, it doesnt create hide so no auto crit. id hate to see that power not get ported then i might not have any skipables.

My scrapper has placate. Everybody's scrapper can get placate. just get the Pocket D and Icon dayjob badge then stay at one long enough to charge the beguile power. it wont let you auto crit but it will make your target not attack.

Have you looked at the Brute version of SR? Brutes get evasion a lot earlier. Having to wait till 35 to avoid an aoe properly is teh suck. Then again, scrappers get energize earlier so I guess it evens out.

Also, mez res and heal would be earlier anyway since the first power will most likely be the melle def power an not the hide replacement thus moving it down on the power selection anyway and moving a few powers up.

Actually, /FA with the lvl 30 costume electric body aura would be more fitting. The activations of /FA makes it the win for this. Also, making a 2nd costume like the first one but with the electric aura and gold hair would make for great power up effects. This same idea has crossed my mind many times. It took everything in my being not to make my BS/regen a Trunks rip off. Minus the power up aura.

Do you know what Jack Burton would say in a time like this?

Back on subject, I think that would be an interesting combo. Add the new animations in the mix and you have a fresh new scrapper combo that's going to be rare because everybody else will be running around with elm/SD and spine/Ela.
