Ok so with the new access to US servers, I made myself a new DM/Inv scrapper on Victory, this is my current plan, with eventually the pvp +def in there (once I get the merits). Everything else I already own, or is easily accessible. Any thoughts/improvements welcome

Do you absolutely have to have a travel power? Can you use Sprint + Ninja Run/Beast Run instead? What about Hasten? Getting perma-Hasten is great for many things in DM/Inv.

My (really) old build was a DM/Inv/Body Mastery. Would you consider DM/Inv/Blaze Mastery? Char, Fire Blast, and Fireball are great powers. I believe Mu Mastery with its single target blast, AoE, and hold are more or less the same too if that is a better fit for theme.

It looks like you enjoy using Shadow Maul. Not recommended for a DPS chain, but a decent cone attack if you can use it reliably. Also: Fun wins out in the case of numbers vs. fun.

Here's what I currently have for my DM/Inv:

Hopefully that gives you some ideas! I'd say the biggest improvement you could make for your posted build wold be Recharge. High Recharge (and permanent) allows for DM/Inv to have consistent, top-end performance. Cheers!

I suppose I could go for travel power less build, and stick hasten in instead of SJ

The problem with the epic would be lack of slots, not really anywhere I can cut slots from to make a hold and single target blast worthwhile

Shadow Maul is in the build for mentoring/TFs. I realise it loses its appeal at higher levels but at low levels its still a great attack, just be glad I didn't take flurry too!

I will check out your build see if there are any savings I can make on mine, thanks
