Anybody here ever had a succesful scavenger build?

I had a game where I was finding great exotics such as the laser rifle and managed to build a burst chain gun....

I died before I even got scavenger because my weapons werent doing enough damage.

Can we change it so that we only need 1 level of whizkid? not being able to get SOB early game really makes it harder for rapid fire builds(which scavenger build promotes through EEx2)

What do you guys think of this ability?   and please dont bring in the "Its great for AO100" because I believe all abilities should be useful in normal mode.

Tried it once and wasn't really too displeased - although it didn't get me anywhere near a win. Don't see the problem with WK 2 - if you're getting mods, you're going to want to be using them to the full extent of their powers anyway - and it's not too hard to get since you don't need to build up Fin first. Add to that the fact that it requires Int (my current precious), it's not too bad a build. You lose DG and Ber, which is no big deal; TH would be nice but you have plenty of other options, not to mention that you can build stuff to compensate for your shortcomings al lot more easily.

I was indeed thinking of saving it for an A100 run, but I'm actually tempted to give it a try now...

I want to be able to turn the chainsaw into a mod, but you get the ability so late in the game... and none of those abilities will help me kill armored enemies because of lack of firepower.

Shouldnt scavenger be a 2 level normal skill that allows you to fuse armors of the same kind to repair then 2nd level lets you get mods from exotics?

AlterAsc:
Won several Ao100 Scavendger runs.
Can't say they were really succesful.
One was won through nuclear plasma rifle B2T3, another one through P3B2 combat pistol.No N or O pack scavenged.
Never played it in normal game, with my luck it's useless.

You do? I can't say for sure at which point in the game you'll reach level 6, depends on the difficulty of course, just make sure you kill as much as you can. And up until Hell, the shotgun - which requires no skills whatsoever to use effectively - gets most of the job done properly. Save up a couple of uniques for when you get there, and start stripping and rebuilding right away.
