Claws/WP General purpose build.

Lost Ninja · 09-17-2009 04:56 AM

Been working on this build for some time now and while nowhere near complete I was wondering if anyone would care to comment on it. This is what I currently have on live (just used my freespec) so far I have been doing paper missions (@ +1 x6) and it seems to be doing quite well. I don't plan on exemping much and will mainly use this for helping friends/alts at 50 (PL or Farm) and 40+ TFs.

I plan on changing the Crushing Impact to Kinetic Combat ASAP (when I can afford them) and the Multistrike to Obliteration again when I have the cash. Anything else need doing? Though of course I lose 10% recharge and some damage from that. Ideally I'd make that up by slotting Focus with a Purple Set.
With that all done I get the following: (According to Mids)

Defense
S/L/F/C ~31%
E/N ~32%
P 21.3%
M/R/A ~19%

Resistance
Smashing & Lethal 49.7
Others 5-10%
Psionic 29.1%

Here are some brief and incomplete driveby comments:

Why the 5 Doctored Wounds in HPT? One of the main points to that slotting is it recharges well, but HPT doesn't need recharge. I'd slot 3 heals and save two slots, or slot up the resistance. RTTC doesn't need recharge either (unless you PVP, I guess.)

Why the 5th slots of Reactive Armor? 0.625% increase to F/C defense (the rarest of the 3 main typed defense categories) might not be worth the extra slot, and the AoE def is redundant, WP is a typed defense set.

Same logic for the 5th slots of Seredipity.

I am digging the Adjusted Targeting dual in Follow Up, that's thinking a little outside the box.

Lastly, I'm not sure how much good Hasten and lots of global recharge bonuses will do you. A Claws/Willpower Scrapper is perhaps one of the characters that benefits the least from global recharge (which is not to say it has NO benefit, just that it might be worth more to you to invest in recharge for other alts).

Willpower gets zero use out of recharge aside from RTTC getting detoggled in PVP (and only in PVP).

It's nice to have global recharge for your attacks, but Claws attacks come back quickly, and there's a point of diminishing utility somewhere. You'll get well-slotted Spin back up in 4.5 seconds already; recharge can shave that down, but one or two attack animations is all you can squeeze into that window before you're ready to Spin again. I chose Spin because it's one of the best PBAoEs in Scrapperdom, but the same is more-or-less true of your other attacks.

More recharge is good, but if you're calculating a very precise attack chain, you already clearly know how much recharge you need (and you can ignore me on this); if you're not, you may find it's not worth a lot of effort and money to tie up your slots for recharge when you could be slotting for other things.

My attack chain is generally: FU -> Spin -> Eviscerate. However while hasten is down I need to fill with Slash, hence why I went with the extra recharges. However I take your point.

The fifth slot in the Def sets and the Res sets is more to fill out the values rather than the set bonuses. Reactive armour is the only set that offers +def to smash and lethal at 4 slots.
