Most powerful scrapper that's not DM/Shield

I am looking to build a single target destroyer type scrapper. I already have a shield type character and don't want to start another one.
DM/Shield seems to be the clear standout in terms of single target effectiveness. What's a good second alternative? Primary, secondary doesn't matter. DM would be okay as a primary, but shield is out.
Any suggestions?

Fire/shield but that is out look at fire/sr or fire/fire
If you want AV I say fire/sr

Langar Thurs-Katana/SR 50; Hejtmane-DM/DA 50
Rogue Spear-Spines/DA 50; Hypnosis-Ill/Rad 50
Sir Thomas Theroux-DM/SR 50; Melted Copper-Fire/Shield 50
Byzantine Warrior-DB/ELA 50;Blade Tempo-50 DB/EA
DM/SD only distances itself with a ton of suck-dolls surrounding you. After that the field is a lot more even, so you can just pick for concept.
For AV's, not getting hit is the key, so you need secondaries that you can build up for defense - that leaves SD, SR, Inv & WP being the top picks, unless you go swords for primary, because of DA/parry, in which case regen has been shown to work (I haven't seen much in regards to FA, but if it can be built to withstand av dmg, FE would be a nice boost to your offense). You could try to build for def on a dark armor, but it will be pretty expensive and you'll have to sacrifice a lot to cap your defenses.
For primaries, even without a fully charged SD, it's one of the top single target dmg'er, and gives you a heal/attack, which is extra nice if your secondary has none, and does lightly resisted neg en dmg. I think I've seen every single primary (except spines) shown to be capable of doing similar long-haul dmg when properly slotted up, so pick for concept and build it up.

DM/SR duh!
[/ QUOTE ] That's what I use. I'm 4-2 in AV soloing attempts since I finished my build. Silver Mantis being the two losses.
DM/SR will decimate all if you invest 10 grand or more. We can even over night parts from Japan. >.>

LOL.... You still owe me a ten second scrapper.
Fire/Fire will probably be substantially harder hitting than anything else non-shield (maybe DM/Fire if you have enough Soul Drain fodder, but you're trading in some damage from FE), but also substantially squishier.

My DM/SR is my scrapper AV killer.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
