What would happen if...

Somehow someway babs made claws available to go with shields? I've been pondering this idea for a while now and the thought of it is making me want one real bad. Shockwave + Shield Charge would = o snap. Not to mention the small fact that claws/sr is capable of insane dps, what would it do with AAO...? Would scrappers go full retard over claws/shields?

Good point but with AAO at max(10 or 12?) I'm pretty sure that 70%+ extra damage would give a nice boost.

Isn't there damage caps though? It would seem you would cap your damage fairly quickly with IO + AAO to the point where you no longer get any benefits.

I probably wouldn't be playing anything else... ;-)

Yes 400% for Scrappers IIRC, and no I don't think a Claws/SD would hit it. My DM/SD is not at it and I have almost Perm Soul Drain. So even with double stacked FU it wouldn't be at it.
