Brutes vs Scrappers
Just comparing damage numbers from mids, it looks like it's different on different attacks, but on average a brute needs roughly a 60% damage boost from fury to deal scrapper level damage. In reality though, it's probably a little more than that, since the scrapper will get crits.
No exact number due to some attacks having a higher chance to crit. Also there is the higher chance vs bosses EBs and AVs. Somewhere around 85% fury I believe is about equal in most cases.

Factoring in a 10% critical rate and (the key here) no outside damage buffs, it's around 65%.
Damage buffs favor the Scrapper a great deal more, and if I'm remembering the math right a Scrapper with a persistent +45% damage buff is roughly equal to a Brute at 100% Fury (ie, impossible to maintain) with both of them using 95% damage slotting and a 10% critical rate on the Scrapper.
it has gone from unconscionable to downright appalling that we have no way of measuring our characters' wetness.

Are we including rage because i don't think it would take much for SS to get up there.
Rage does not a brute make.
Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?
Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?

I believe he is making reference to the fact that the OPs question is more directly inquiring about Fury and not the superstrength powerset and/or rage.

How much Fury does a Brute need to build to be doing the equivilant damage of a Scrapper?

Well it never does say just fury alone it still is a bit of an open question.

That is exactly what I meant, thank you.

Brutes are better. Period.
One non-Fury point with regard to overall damage is that the brute damage cap is 850% (750% + base 100%) but the scrapper cap is 500%. So if you're on a team with damage buffs the brute will be outdamaging the scrapper. I try to run with Kins for this very reason. In that scenario Fury doesn't really matter, although I believe scrapper crits still do--I think they ignore the damage cap the way controller containment does.

Correction to the above: "if you're on a team with lots of damage buffs the brute will be outdamaging the scrapper."
If it's less than around +600% the Scrapper gets a better buff, and that's assuming you're using Fury to make up the rest of the difference.
Scrapper at cap (no criticals): 1.125 damage * 5 = 5.625
Brute: 5.625 / 0.75 = 7.5, or +650% damage; factor in a 10% critical rate and you end up with +725% damage needed to equal the Scrapper's damage output (6.1875 = (1.125 * 1.1 * 5) = (0.75 * 8.25)).
Unless you're pretty much capped all the time, the Scrapper is going to come out ahead with damage buffs.

Not a problem- came through clear as day for me. Hehe, sometimes I think people who play brutes forget there are other primaries that exist outside of super strength.

Because these are the brute forums and to speak otherwise would be heresy...
Just kidding.
I suppose the person you quoted just likes brutes better.
