Pretty much for hunting squishies from above, for anything else prob swap web and trops for FA and lazer beam eyes.

Something really minor but I'd move Quickness upto where Stamina is and move the Fitness pool powers down a notch.

So Fitness from 20-24 and 26 Soaring Dragon and Quickness 28. Reason being is that you have Hasten already so your powers recharge fast already.

However if your tolerent with poor enderence recovery up till 28, the build's good.

I had a lil play, but not with order of power choice or power choices just slotting. Its suggestive! I do have a lvl 50 claws/sr and have walked over other sr's which tells me the dps of claws pvp isnt bad, its the life expectency of an sr against toons with aim and/or build up thats bad.

01) --> Sting of the Wasp==> Acc(1) Acc(3) EndRdx (3) Dmg(5) Dmg(5) Dmg(7)

01) --> Focused Fighting==> EndRdx(1) DefBuf(7) DefBuf(9) DefBuf(36) on my toggles i slot other way around cos i have EndRdx on attacks. The attacks are higher eps.

02) --> Flashing Steel==> Acc(2) Acc(11) EndRdx(11) Dmg(13) Dmg(13) Dmg(15)

04) --> Focused Senses==> EndRdx(4) DefBuf(15) DefBuf(17) DefBuf(42) on my toggles i slot other way around cos i have EndRdx on attacks. The attacks are higher eps.

06) --> Build Up==> Rechg(6) Rechg(9) Rechg(17) TH_Buf(19) TH_Buf(19) TH_Buf(45) with all your acc so much tohit? I'd be happy with no tohits an an end redux (i have a katana and ninja blade)

08) --> Hasten==> Rechg(8) Rechg(21) Rechg(23) Rechg(25) Rechg(25) Rechg(36) no!!! dont 6 slot hasten! move 3

10) --> Practiced Brawler==> Rechg(10) Rechg(21) add another Rechg for pvp and an end if ya can afford it

12) --> Air Superiority==> Acc(12) Acc(50)

14) --> Fly==> EndRdx(14) EndRdx(31) EndRdx(31) Fly(43) Fly(43) Fly(45) wow as much as 3 end slots, 3rd does very little could be moved

16) --> Aid Other==> Heal(16) Heal(40) i took stimulant on my sr 1 slotted to free up a disoriented defender who can heal better than me.

18) --> Aid Self==> Heal(18) Heal(23) IntRdx(34) IntRdx(37) Rechg(37) swap an intrdx for a rechg in later lvls "maybe". Add a heal.

20) --> Quickness==> Run(20) Run(42) only worth 1 slot imo.

22) --> Hurdle==> Jump(22) Jump(42) 1 is my personal preference and you can fly.

24) --> Health==> Heal(24) id actually may have 3.

26) --> Soaring Dragon==> Acc(26) Acc(27) EndRdx(27) Dmg(29) Dmg(29) Dmg(31).

28) --> Stamina==> EndMod(28) EndMod(48) EndMod(50) 3 end mod slotted so late? stamina taken so late with such high eps in your proposed build.

30) --> Super Speed==> EndRdx(30) Run(50)

32) --> Golden Dragonfly==> Acc(32) Acc(33) EndRdx(33) Dmg(33) Dmg(34) Dmg(34)

35) --> Evasion==> EndRdx(35) DefBuf(36) DefBuf(37) DefBuf(43) on my toggles i slot other way around cos i have EndRdx on attacks. The attacks are higher eps.

38) --> Elude==> Rechg(38) Rechg(39) Rechg(39) DefBuf(39) DefBuf(40) DefBuf(40)

41) --> Agile==> DefBuf(41) only add to if you have excess slots really

44) --> Web Grenade==> Acc(44) Acc(45) Acc(46) Range(46) Range(46) Immob(48) if ya need 3 accs for somit pvp they prolly most likely cant be immobilised.

47) --> Caltrops==> Slow(47) Slow(48) i give more love to this power more than web - more rechgs.

49) --> Dodge==> DefBuf(49) only add to if you have excess slots really

---------------------------------------------
01) --> Sprint==> Run(1) such an end drainer when i leave it on whilst fighting
01) --> Brawl==> Acc(1) 30% chance to detoggle i think
01) --> Critical Hit==> Empty(1)
02) --> Rest==> Rechg(2)<-- due to poor stamina on original build i would of needed more.
---------------------------------------------

nice to see a build uncoloured that i could just edit easy for fun!


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Katana and SR mix very well. I have seen it put to great use many many times.

If I was not so worried about being below par for a lot of levels, I would roll one. I heard SR blooms late?

Certainly is a pain up to 20 when you don't have stamina but I think it really depends on who you team with.

If you team up with a Kinetics your going to go up very very fast.

Truth be told I solo'd 80% of the time up till about 24ish so I went about it at a slow and steady pace. But it definately gets a lot more fun later on

Thanks for the comments not sure if I will actually level the guy further as there is anoth combo, if I make a scrapper at all that is, that is probably better i.e. spines/SR (quickness on ranged attacks ftw!).

Any build I make I plan for what powers will be in at level 50, I find as I level I get powers that I feel are most useful at the time so its really just a guide to me of what I want at the end and not to overslot by mistake.

Went for acc as 3rd adds about +20% and without tactics or FA I wanted to make sure I hit every single time.

End red in attacks would be good if your fighting constantly but I really just saw this guy as flying high up in warburg or the new area and nipping down to give a quishy a shock, then poping on elude and flying or SSing off.

Chances are any immob enh in anything is pointless for pvp but its really just there incase someone hasnt prepared properly.

Caltrops are just there to prevent ppl getting away for the ~20 seconds it should take to kill em, also to help prevent a stalker from using AS when I am fighting (since I would not be able to see stalkers).

For real prolonged PvP and not ganking would prob have to go for FA and laser bean eyes I would have thought, no?

Anyway not trying to make excusses for a bad build just saying that those were my thoughts behind the slotting, with only one interupt red in heal self will it be interuptable by DoTs?

Well if I do go down the SR scrapper route I'll remember your advice .

You'll be able to see stalkers with Focused Senses. But since it is PvP, they're probably going to have Stealth + Hide in which case no you won't be able to see them.

But then if you're going Spines that nice AoE should keep them away.

With a spines would have FA so should be able to see stalkers with hide and stealth, as quills isnt auto hit though you can still be ASed through it .

for low defense "squishie" hunting 1 acc , 3 dam, 2 rechg would be a general theme.

i have used aid self with 1 intredux during DoT. It was slow ticks though so it depends on tick time, Fire attackers are main pain if they hit you generally if my hp drops a 1/3rd i aid self asap i dont wait for more hp to drop, to return hp there is no other choice other than aid self for an sr and i did put a "maybe" as it comes down to you playing. All enhancements can be changed to suit at anytime the good thing to have though is the slot available.

It certainly does mate this is the one set i would be a bit tanker like in slotting up the first 2 tier powers asap to stand a chance in our current unscaleable defense game. When i was levelling up my scrapper from 25-35 the controller was the number 1 healer for the whole duration, great team though. In order to survive you really had to watch your position, stay out of cones, be ready for aoes, pbaoes (watch them warhulks healthbars and move before they explode type thing). My earliest debt badge was on my super reflex at lvl 27, all my other ATs got theirs alot later. Scrappers have no choice but to be in the thick of ranged, melee and aoes compared to all the other ATs except the tanker. This is why as a tanker i like the time to point the direction of cones away from the team and not fight an AV in melee range with only an empath type defender in team to make the AV use pbaoes less often. At about 36 it starts to bloom in pve but you still have to watch your position with certain things.

Rawr!

Yee was right about Elude.

So I rolled a Katana/Sr (Level 5 atm) as a sorta play over the next few days [censored] if I like him type toon.

Now I was wondering. With x, x and x powers is it possible to run without a travel power? Say CJ sprint, quickness etc...

All teh best.

A stalker upon CoV, US, called Slyfe - got none.

He slots all the powers that make him run faster.

He didn't have to take any.

Yes, it is.

HOWEVER, you'll be a hell of alot slower.
My reccomendation is to take SJ and put the default slot of speed into quickness and swift. This way you can move around fast in missions without that speed suppressing, and jump from mission to mission with similar likety-splitness of someone who has both SJ and SS.
