Actually, I've found 3-2-6 works great against Scum.

Hmm, Can't say as I ever do this.  I may go 8-4-8 if my guy favors attack
skills and I'm challenging an AB,PR,WS or other slow warrior.  I keep my
guys going slow for the first   minute or two then kick in with a
6-3-6,8-4-4 type minute before slowing down to a 3-2-3 strategy.

No, I never really jump up this high.  To many lungers around will
just overpower you with these higher numbers.  I keep with the basic
strategy most of his DM career.

High Offense, Low activity, Very low kill desire.  But then again,
my guy like this is 3-4 so take it for what it's worth
