Be well, people of CoH.
I've got four level 50 Scrappers and one that I'm working on that's at 35 and my favorite in terms of levels 1-50 play is my Dark Melee/Willpower Scrapper.
I'm not sure what you conisder to be fun as far as playing Scrappers goes...but I like my Scrappers to be ridiculously, stupidly tough. I really enjoy it when an entire team I'm on falls and I'm able to continue as if nothing happened.
Also, while I'm not interested in soloing very often, I do like being able to handle pretty much anything I come across. Whether it be Arch Villains or huge groups of mobs or whatever.
Dark Melee/Willpower has so many things going for it and as far as I'm concerned, the two sets compliment each other more than any other Scrapper sets (that I've played, at least). Here are some examples:
1.) Willpower has a small amount of Defense, which makes you slightly harder to hit. It also has Rise to the Challenge, which debuffs enemie's tohit, which makes you even harder to hit. On top of that, Dark Melee's attacks cause additional -tohit, making you even harder to hit. Add some Io set bonuses to all that as well as Weave and/or Combat Jumping and you become ridiculously hard to touch.
2.) Willpower has Fast Healing, which makes your Regeneration rate higher. It also comes with (again) Rise to the Challenge, which adds to your Regeneration for each foe near you (Up to ten, I believe). In addition to that Dark Melee has Siphon Life, a high damage attack that gives you a small heal for each time that you hit. It's also pretty fast to recharge.
So, with Dark Melee/Willpower, you're hard as heck to hit and you recover the damage incredibly fast when you are hit. After that, throw in all of the resistances you get, which will mean that you don't get hurt much if something manages to land an attack as well as Soul Drain which adds to your damage for each baddie that is nearby and seriously, you have got yourself one Bad-A Scrapper.
Oh, and let's not forget Quick Recovery. I've got that as well as Stamina and I can fight indefinitley.
The only area it's weak in is AoE. However, you hit everything so hard (did I mention that Dark isn't a commonly resisted damage type?) that you can move from bad guy to bad guy very quickly.
All that and, I just enjoy playing the toon. She exemps very well for the low level TF's and such as well.
It seems like every week there is one of these posts...
In any case, my fav is in my signature.
Rising to the Challenge: Spines/Willpower
Mine has been my bs/dark ... but any/any is pretty much awesomesauce. Scrapper is an AT the dev's got right.
Claws/ SR for sure, It's like throwing a Chainsaw into a pile of stuffed animals.
Plus I've been teaming with a Rad Defender and ripping apart Giant Monsters non stop, so much fun.
Martial Arts. So fun I made 4.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
@Starflier
Spines/SR
My favorite is DM/SR. Siphon life is amazing.
Spines anything.
Hmm, my favorite scrapper? Uhm... Hmm, let me think... Wolverine. Baring that, Madam Enigma.
OOOOOH you mean powerset! Erm, anything-except-martial arts/anything

MA/Regen. Everything else feels so slow and subdued in comparison. It's mainly Crane Kick, I love the animation, the sound, the damage, the knockback, it's the best power in the game as far as I'm concerned.

So, based on your Wolverine comment your favorite is claws/regen?
Okay, my answer: My favorite scrapper is whichever one I'm playing at the time.
I have:
Claws/Regen
BS/DA
DB/WP
Spines/Fire
DM/DA
MA/Shield
Katana/SR
I think I'll be rollng a Fire/Invuln next, seeing as they are the only powersets I don't have at least one of yet.

Said it in other threads before, and I'll say it again here. I <3 my DB/SR.

Broadsword/Regen. I love the animations and sound of Broadsword, nothing like laying down a big *CRRUUUUNCH* on the enemies as they fall over, and I like seeing big numbers. Parry also synergizes with Regen, adding some defense (against melee anyways) to a set that lacks it completely. Can't count how many times Parry has saved my [censored]. Having extra endurance recovery from Regen also means non-stop killing, on an endurance-heavy set.
And then there's Regen, which enables me to master the HP-Rollercoaster Technique. I also become nigh-indestructible with a few buffs, to defense especially. If we make a bad pull in the group I just pop a couple of purples along with my own clickies and I can stand up to almost anything, I can even wade in and start AOE'ing them to grab some aggro and keep it off the rest of the group. BS/Regen is pure badassery in a can.
I just got my Claws/SR soft capped, and I think I can say without a doubt, that she is the most fun hero I've ever played.
Thanks to all the posters here on the Scrapper boards for the huge amount of info and discussion. It will be very hard to play the rest of my scrappers after getting Clawmark all decked out.

Another vote for Spines/Anything....
Though I absolutely love love my spines/dark - he can survive through practically anything. Thinking about rolling another one for the hell of it!
I've only played 2 scrappers to high lvls, claws/regen and DB/Invuln
I prefer DB to claws but I prefer regen to invun as I never have to look at my blue bar on my /regen guy.
I'd go with a combination of the two, DB/regen.
GOD please give me a spines/dark build that survives anything...Im doing something wrong on mine...granted only 35 but I get owned alot
Broadsword Dark Armor here. He is like a cockroach.
Hi everyone, I'm not exactly new to this game. But I just wanted to hear your favorite scrapper builds. Lately I've been getting bored of the scrappers I make, even my level 43 (DB/WS). So just post your favorite scrapper build and I'll probably make one.
Thanks.
