Broadsword/SR 

In preparation for Veteran Rewards, I've rolled a toon on Triumph: The Angry Scotsman. He's Broadsword/SR. I'm a novice when it comes to the scrapper sets, my highest scrapper being in the high teens. I'm looking for any build advice, for either Broadsword and/or SR.

RE: Broadsword/SR 

SR is split into two types of defenses...toggles and passives. Passives are great but arent as good as toggles. The problem with toggles; like any other build is the fear of losing them when you run out of end. And being a scrapper that can be pretty fast.

I have all passives 6 slotted (expect Quickness). I also have Focused Fighting, Focused Senses, Practiced Brawler, and Eluded. The two Focus powers are 4 slotted...3 def and 1 end red. Elude is 6 with Recharges I believe (or I may of changed to 6..3 rech and 3 def). Practiced Brawler is probably the greatest power in the set. It allows the SR to avoid hold effects and any knock around powers. Mine is 3 slotted with recharges and its perma. Its always on me...and at times have double PB. Elude will be your fall back defense (mostly bosses and higher ups).

I didnt take Evasion because Lucky does more than enough for AoEs and really didnt take Focused Senses till 49 because the ranged attacks you face arent generally as high damage as melees.

I believe my build was...

Focused Fighting (4 slots: 3 def, 1 end reduc) (toggle)
Agile (6 slots: 6 def) (passive)
Practiced Brawler (3 slots: 3 recharge) (toggle/perma ran)
Dodge (6 slots: 6 def) (passive)
Quickness (3 slots: 3 speed) (passive)
Evasion (6 slots: 6 def) (passive)
Elude (6 slots: 6 recharge or 6 slots: 3 def and 3 recharge)(toggle)
Focused Senses (4 slots: 3 def, 1 end) (toggle)

RE: Broadsword/SR 

Grif, I see that you have three SR powers 6-slotted with def enhancements. Is this beneficial, given that the 4th, 5th, and 6th slots don't add much more benefit?

RE: Broadsword/SR 

I'm thinking superspeed for the travel power because neither fly nor superjump are good choices with a kilt!

Superspeed is my plan for travel. Fitness pool's gotta fit in somewhere too. Are any of the other power pools worth getting?

RE: Broadsword/SR 

Could always hack into the med transport system and take Teleport Foe (slotted with three accuracies) and then take Teleport for your Travel power.

RE: Broadsword/SR 

I have yet to take tp foe on any of my toons. In general, what ATs or power sets can make decent use of it?

RE: Broadsword/SR 

Any melee toon without access to a ranged attack. Basically, a BS/anything scrapper will do wonders with the goodness that is TP Foe. Without a means of taking a foe out from a distance, pulling that single threat to you makes all the difference in the world. Don't want to aggro the whole mob and risk defeat while you try to take out the sapper? TP him to ya and nail him with Headsplitter and Disembowel. Sapper? What Sapper?

Only problem I see with your build is both sets are notoriously end heavy. The SR toggles are not cheap. I'd put 2 end redux into both of the "focused" toggles, and one into evasion. Also, BS is a high end, long animation set, which is made up for by the fact that it'll 2-3 shot most everything. Slot an end redux into all your attacks, and you should be alright. Just be cautious, and don't use Headsplitter to finish the minion, when Hack would do just fine, ya know?

W.P.

RE: Broadsword/SR 

Personally I would take as many of the toggles as possible, and slot them one (or two if you have end trouble, which is likely with Broadsword!!) endredux, and three defence. For Elude, three recharge and three defence. All the passives (if you take 'em), 2 or 3 defence (depends on the slots, you'd better spend 'em on other powers imo). Practiced Brawler: 1 or 2 recharge (in combination with Quickness this is enough). Quickness: only one run speed, more if you can spare the slots.

RE: Broadsword/SR 

With my MA/SR scrapper, I only have 3 defenses and one end reduc on my toggles and 3 defenses on my passive. I have found that you don't need any more than three defenses on the SR powers. I just got Elude at 44 and it has already made a big difference with one defense. I am still debating on evade. But as far my pool powers I have the fitness powers, stealth, CJ and SJ. With my epic pool power as body mastery. So far I only have the accuracy power. It works great. But ever since ED, I have tried to build them like they want you to and it has worked very well. With 7 defneses that are all 3 slotted with defense going, I have found that, that is all I need. I can almost tank with him because I do not get hit very often at all.
I do have a very low level BS/Reg scrapper. The recharge time on the attacks is very slow, I will be getting recharge enhancements a.s.a.p. But the attacks are very damaging. I do love the SR defenses, it is nice not being hit and smacking the crap out of em.

I would of suggested taking Agile over Focused Senses, the damage you take from range isnt significant enough to worry about. Scrappers are quick, efficient enemy resolvers. The faster you take them out the better. Your not going to be hit by range all the time. Melee tends to be the more abuse you take.

As for 6 slotting the passives, I dont mind the diminished percent you get from 4, 5, and 6. That extra...10% or whatever you get from those 3 slots is better than not having that 10% (or so) of defense. If you take toggles....Focused Fighting/Senses and Elude should be good. The toggle AoE isnt really worth the use. It would just be another end drag on an archetype that thrives off powers having end to activate. You could prob hold of F/Senses to later in build when you have nothing to take.

I keep messing up its Lucky not Evasion....passive AoE over the toggle AoE. Its not needed. I did find out also you need 3 Recharges in Practiced Brawler to make it safe for overlap. I kep the 6 slots in all passive but quickness (I understand DE and such, just want as much as possible). My build is more reliant on me taking out my opposition before they take out me. I dont try to outlast, I try to outdamage.

I dont rely on toggles, hate them, hate losing them and if you use Elude and you dont have passive back up your done for. Elude has a massive end loss and delayed regeneration effect. You can pop inspiration but it will only do so much when you try to restart up defense and offense.

RE: Broadsword/SR 

QUOTE
SR is split into two types of defenses...toggles and passives. Passives are great but arent as good as toggles. The problem with toggles; like any other build is the fear of losing them when you run out of end. And being a scrapper that can be pretty fast. 

I have all passives 6 slotted (expect Quickness). I also have Focused Fighting, Focused Senses, Practiced Brawler, and Eluded. The two Focus powers are 4 slotted...3 def and 1 end red. Elude is 6 with Recharges I believe (or I may of changed to 6..3 rech and 3 def). Practiced Brawler is probably the greatest power in the set. It allows the SR to avoid hold effects and any knock around powers. Mine is 3 slotted with recharges and its perma. Its always on me...and at times have double PB. Elude will be your fall back defense (mostly bosses and higher ups).

I didnt take Evasion because Lucky does more than enough for AoEs and really didnt take Focused Senses till 49 because the ranged attacks you face arent generally as high damage as melees. 

I believe my build was...

Focused Fighting (4 slots: 3 def, 1 end reduc) (toggle)
Agile (6 slots: 6 def) (passive)
Practiced Brawler (3 slots: 3 recharge) (toggle/perma ran)
Dodge (6 slots: 6 def) (passive)
Quickness (3 slots: 3 speed) (passive)
Evasion (6 slots: 6 def) (passive)
Elude (6 slots: 6 recharge or 6 slots: 3 def and 3 recharge)(toggle)
Focused Senses (4 slots: 3 def, 1 end) (toggle)


Yeah I've taken to 2 slotting PB as that is enough for it to be perma also. I run 4 slots of defense on each power, and some of them I have end reducs in. My guy is MA/SR

RE: Broadsword/SR 

Grif, ED is not the only reason I advise against slotting the passives. The main reason you should not slot them is because their base defense values are so low! Combined with the fact that defense enhancements are type 2 enhances (meaning that instead of 33% per, they are 20% per) and you get extremely low return value to your overall survivability out of slotting them, as opposed to attacks or other defensive powers. To give the numbers:

# of SO's Agile Dodge Lucky
0 5.6% 5.6% 5.6%
1 6.9% 6.9% 6.9%
2 8.2% 8.2% 8.2%
3 8.9% 8.9% 8.9%
4 9.0% 9.0% 9.0%
5 9.2% 9.2% 9.2%
6 9.4% 9.4% 9.4%

As you can see, you get very little return for any enhancements you put into these powers. 6 slotting them gives you 3.8% more defense. That's less than a TO would give you into one of your toggles! Hell, a fourth defense SO into each of your toggles would give you a higher return.

The passives are essential to your survivability, but not because of the defense they offer. Thats more or less a perk. No, an SR needs his passives because of the scaled resistence they provide. Until this resistence becomes enhancable, do not bother slotting your passives at all. One SO, if you can afford it, in the base slot is all you should ever want to put into these. For defense boosts, slot your toggles, use them when appropriate, and 6 slot all of your attacks as needed. You'll have a much better survival rate that way. Trust me.

If anyone else has any other questions, ask away. I'll be glad to help.

W.P.

RE: Broadsword/SR 

Path, I worked up a solid build for PvE leveling. The endurance will be a lil rough, but your damage should do fine. Ignore when I slotted powers, I just did it quick so I could figure how to slot them, not when. This build focuses heavily on single target damage, which means it could do fairly well in PvP as well. Just watch your endurance, and carry a couple blues at all times. Oh, and you definitely want Aid Self in there. With good defense values and 2 interupt redux in it, you'll most likely be able to fire it off whenever you need it, and a 40% heal on top of good defense and scaled resistence, every 12 seconds or so, will make you pretty darn tough to kill.

RE: Broadsword/SR 

I play passives. I live, I beat down opponents. The only toggle I lose when I kill my end is Focused Fighting. I dont have to worry about rushing to reset my defenses. And if you are running FF, FS, PB, and Evasion (excluded Elude for long downtime) thats 4 you have to reactivate everytime you run out of end. Thats 4 animations you have to wait for, thats 4 clicks you have to do. That means while you do all that and your in a fight your going to get pounded on by whoever your fighting.

I like maxed passives and 4 slot toggle FF (and now most recently FS). I make out just fine in that crazy crazy world of Paragon City.

I would of suggested taking Agile over Focused Senses, the damage you take from range isnt significant enough to worry about. Scrappers are quick, efficient enemy resolvers. The faster you take them out the better. Your not going to be hit by range all the time. Melee tends to be the more abuse you take.


Yes, but if you are ever in PvP zones to do missions or get shivans, Focused Senses adds perception, so you can see some of the stealthed players this way...
