This sounds really fun... But I can't really think of a defender to make

Me thinks eryg2 spouts terminology off without completely understanding their meanings >.>

-Defense as opposed to secondary
-Soft cap as opposed to cap

On the topic at hand. Fire Armor is a decent set. For farming, it is better than /DA. (imo) It grants you an endurance recovery power, a heal, good resistance numbers, a second build up, slow protection, and a damage aura. DA offers a friggin awesome heal, decent resistance numbers, small defense, control auras, and a damage aura. FA isn't better by much, but the endurance recovery power is incredibly helpful. Also, FA can easily farm the Demon Map (All Fire Damage! ) DA oddly enough cannot cap any resistance numbers.

This is what my screen looks like when I export builds

Ok, your text is still wonky... but I got the build.

What were you building towards on your build. Looks like you focused on Smashing/Lethal defense, Melee Defense and possibly recharge.

Just a tip on IOing toons. You want to focus on one or two stats not several. If you focus on a lot of bonuses, you will just be mediocre. Also, don't go for typed and positional defense, chose one or the other to attain, that way you can softcap one or the other.

If I was going to IO an Elec armor toon, I would want to focus on +HP followed by some S/L defense. But thats just me. Stay tuned for other scrapper people to chip in their ideas.

Ok, I'm not even going to bother trying to read that.

What you want to do to share a build from Mids is:
Import/Export -> Short Forum Export

Select the Export Data Chunk as well as DataLink

Also check to make sure that the Formating Code (the box on the right) is set for Official Forums (vBulletin)

... Grats

Edit: Tried to open the build, but it said the data chunk was incomplete. >.> try riposting your build. (give the data chunk, not just the link.

Sooo, Actulal cast times are not the same as cast times? Whats the difference? Where did you get your cast time numbers?

So, you already have this toon created, level 50 and slotted? Is that how you are getting your numbers?

How are you factoring the % chance to do additional DoT, the procs and crits? seems like it would be hard to get a good calculation with all those % chance things.

Ok, hope this helps.

I'm not really a numbers kind of guy... but I'll see what I can do. Hope it tides you over until Umbral sees this and responds.

Right now it seems your attack string that you want isn't possible with the build provided.
Here is what I got.

Scorch -> Cremate -> Scorch = 3.5 seconds of activation time. That means that's the amount of time you have for Incinerate to recharge to have a seamless chain. Right now Incinerate is sitting at 4.06 seconds, giving you a .56 seconds (about half a second) to twiddle your thumbs. I believe if you get Incinerate below 3.5 seconds recharge, you would have a seamless chain.

I am pretty sure that the Highest ST DPS chain for Fire melee is Cremate -> Incinerate -> Cremate -> GFS... but I could be wrong.

I cannot comment on the question of if it has enough DPS to solo an AV. (all the procs are hard for me to calculate dps). I CAN tell you that I was not satisfied with my FM/SR for AV soloing. The high Def and the High DoT makes AVs run like hell =(. I soloed one AV and quit, it was too much hassle. I have heard people using Ring of Fire or Challenge to stop them from running... but I rolled a DM/SR for my AV soloing instead.

Edit:
Are you sure you don't want a travel power?

I like to grab Stimulate over Aid Other if what I really want is Aid Self. Aid Other is pretty weak without slotting, but Stimulate is the same pretty much. I'm not planning on 'healing' other people, but if some one wakies without a break free, or if the Riechsman stuns the def, it's handy to un-stun people on the fly. (I stick one Interrupt IO in there.)

Practiced Brawler is over slotted IMO, just pop one recharge in there and that will give you an extra slot. It doesn't benefit you extra if it is double stacked (unless you are fighting Romie when he rezes. Not many things out there crest your Mez Protection)

I like to slot my SR powers like this:
Toggles (including weave and maneuvers) get 4 GotA: Def, Def/End, Run, Def/End/Rech
Autos get 3 LotG: Def, Rech, Def/End or Def/Rech (whichever is cheaper at the time)
This increases your endurance and recovery.
Not saying its mandatory, it's just the way I do it, and it seems to work for me.

If you have time to sit there and have every one gather around you, you have time to press a button 8 times... >.>

I would suggest something like this. I have not tested it, and it might be a little off, but it should move you in the right direction. You will need 8 text files.

Call:
h "g RAs in 5$$bindloadfile count1"

Count1:
h "g 1$$bindloadfile count2"

Count2:
h "g 2$$bindloadfile count3"

Count3:
h "g 3$$bindloadfile count4"

Count4:
h "g 4$$bindloadfile count5"

Count5:
h "g 5$$bindloadfile cast1"

Cast1:
h "powexecname Recovery Aura$$bindloadfile cast2"

Cast2:
h "powexecname Regeneration Aura$$bindloadfile Call"

So, no fix for the Enhancement numbers being 6 pixels tall?

>.> why would you want a level 50 one?

level 33's or lower are the best. IMO

If they had all Melee >.> then the blue ones would have been almost imposible to kill.

As far as I know, the LGTF is not broken. >.>

One mill for a salvage bin full?

How can I be sure you have what I want. Your rep deems you some one not too terribly trustworthy.

What server, what side.

I believe it would be easier and faster to just wait until the market opens up again, or do some MA missions for tickets. >.> Why should I give you any influence.

This makes me think of a guy standing outside a bank on the weekend trying to give people loans at 30% interest per day. Maybe some one will take you up on your offer, but many people will look, laugh and choose to wait until monday to get the cash they need.

I <3 my server =)

The argument about Dual Pistols for Scrappers just baffles me.

It would be like people complaining that scrappers didn't get Archery Melee, or Assault Riffle Melee. It doesn't make sense?

And as Umbral said, "Katana Blast and Broadsword Control". It doesn't make sense! WHY do people think that DP should/was going to be for scrappers, brutes, tanks and stalks?

So you watched a movie that they fight with guns, in melee range. Lets have Grey Surfer Melee, or Rubber Melee while we are at it.

hai cow!

If we want to get as much content as we can... should we all have different origins?

OK, rolled a Claws/Elec scrapper

Hmmmm... What to bring....

Edit: and yes Stefanie, Strike Force is still going. =) not as large as it used to be, but still a tight knit group.

Wait, you can have a crossbow for Archery though?

Just a question. Have you played your Fire/Kin at all? or did you PL it from 1 to 50?

Have you ever seen a Fire/Kin farm?
