I've never heard of a level 32 Scrapper power doing a triple Critical (or a quadruple critical for that matter).

...Scrappers never even got the ability to Crit until I3
[/ QUOTE ] Really? I came in I2 and I remember critting...I thought they just upped the crit values in I2 for bosses and Lt's. In fact, I remember sending Statesman a PM recommending that if they wanted to give us a specific role (though I'm sure he had the idea before I PM'd him).

Looked over my video's I2 had to have been the crit release cause all my I1 vid's only so me criting with EC and no other attacks.
I just wanted to add that this is happening for Mastermind Ninjas as well. My Jounin had at least 2 doubles last night when using placate. It doesn't seem to be only for Golden Dragonfly either - he accomplished it with Sting of the Wasp and Soaring Dragon. I don't expect it to last, but quite lovely when it happens.

Fairly certain they always critted.. just the word "CRITICAL!" and the double damage numbers didn't fly above the enemies head till I2 or I3.. but... it was viewable in the combat log before then..
and yea -- in I3 the chance on bosses and LT's was upped.

No, at release Scrappers did not critical. They had attacks that could (almost always the level 32 attack). The random crit on all attacks was added later. Its chance to occur was always cumulative with the chance for the attacks that already had an innate critical chance.
At release the Scrapper role was "soloist". No one wanted them on teams because they were perceived as not adding much. Why take a melee damage-dealer when you could take a Blaster? Crits were added to morph their role to "boss killer" (somewhat successfully, I might add, at least in popular perception).
