Fire_Minded asks the unthinkable.
I'd actually like to team with him. He's got spirit. Probably a "leaping scrapper" like I am.
I find it kind of funny how honest and helpful everyone is being. To me, this is the sort of question that calls for an exquisitely stupid answer.

Why MA ratings should be changed from stars to "like" or "dislike"
A better algorithm for ordering MA arcs
Ok, im about to ask the unthinkable from the forum goers for a Scrapper I want to gear for PvP.
Im going with a Claws/Invln build.Im requesting the following for my build. High Global Recharge IOs, additional Damage through Global Damage IOs, Additional Resist IOs, Moderate Recovery IOs, and minor to Moderate Accuracy IOs. My focus will be on excellerating my Dull Pain to be recharged fast first and formost, and the rest of the requested IO increases are secondary concern. I would perfer not having it in a Mids format, but a mapped out IO and Slot chart for use. Thank you for your time.I want to be a Vanguard Sword Soldier in PvP, and will look as such. Purple IOs will be fine, I finally have a farmer I can live with. |
- Are you a grammar freak or a spell check nitpicker? There's more than enough to go around.
- Are you a user of Mids? Check!
- Do you hate RPers or concept builds? Check!
- Do you hate number crunchers? Check! (Amazing that you can fit both in, well played)
- Do you hate PvPers? Check!
- Are you a PvPer who knows how much this build combo sucks? Check!
- Do you know enough about IOs to know that his targets are lame and silly? Check!
This was a work of mastercraftsmanship. Give the man his props, people!

A lot of ways to go on a build for this combo. As noted it is weak burst damage and always will be. But perhaps a scrapper / blaster concept similar to this could interest you. Not knowing what pools you like makes it tough but I took a half-hearted shot at it. You will have to spread sheet it yourself.

Thank you Punkture, your the man!
Im glad someone understands that I wanna try to make something bad into something good.Even if its not the best and never will be.
Postagulous, your pretty much right with your assessment, and im great to team with.Most other people suck with even the highly advertised builds.Im great with the sucky ones.
As for the rest of you mouthy people who wanna pound on someone because they wanna try something you wouldnt?Understand that just because you want someone to troll on or thread jack, doesnt mean im going to listen to your lame mouthing about how im a moron simply because you say so.I really dont care how many of you there are, just because theres more of you types of snarky, arrogant, and self absorbed people who think somethings only 1 way, and only that way, doesnt make you right, at all.
Thank you for your time.
Some one has a humility issue

Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
Your unique butterfly will fail like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA0X6M0PkjA
BUT HAVE FUN!
If there are only 2 things I've learned in all my browsing of the forums, especially this forum its that:
a) any advice you ask for should be considered rather then disputed. 9 times out of 10, the individuals giving it know what they're talking about and only want to save you the trouble of trying to wade into something that will only produce far less than favorable results.
and
b) I've definitely tried to go against the grain when it comes to building characters, many many many times (no exaggeration, I still do). In pve it most certainly can work in your favor and who doesn't like to see odd combos flourish comparably to ones that might be considered common or fotms.
and here comes yet the same or similar speech you've already be given... *ahem* (clears throat)
But PvP is something else, and in order to enjoy it you have to stay competitive. In your case especially considering your "pvp woes". PvP is unbalanced as just about everyone knows so its obvious why certain sets will out perform most others. A set like invuln won't be able to have that competitive edge especially when you consider, like others have said, powers like invincibility and invulns' playstyle in general. It works best when surrounded by enemies and you certainly won't be in pvp. Even if you could be we all know how valuable defense is in pvp :P. You won't be able to anticipate and heal back the inevitable damage spikes that you will face with that set. Period.
I would definitely encourage you (as others have) to save yourself the trouble and consider another secondary for your scrapper if you're serious about pvp. I just know I would hate to put all that time into a character just to see it under perform against any avid pvper.
That posted build has pvp IO's in it.
Id imagine between just the javelins and the Lotg +recharge's your lookin at a multi-billion dollar build.
If claws/invuln is the powerset combo you plan to use in pvp to get those IO's, good frickin luck. If you plan on buying those IO's good frickin luck.
My favorite combo is Faceplant/DebtCap with the TeamWipe Ancillary
