It's so good I've flabbergated everyone into speechless wonderment ^_^
Im not too sure on the order of the Scrapper EPICs but couldnt you could maybe drop Torrent or Blast to incorporate Eviscerate. Isn't it a tight cone that could add to your circle o' death?
The build is pretty tight, though I *could* try fitting Eviscerate if, in my testing, I didn't end at best hitting 2 mobs with it. 5 range doesn't quite led itself to AoEing goodness though it's the second most damaging move of claws.
TT doesn't stop KB. It is my scrappers only real AoE and I love it, but a KB stopper it is not

ARRR! Don't imobilizes prevent KB? I thought that was so when I played a controller and stuff.
The Dark one is an exception, sorry.

Torrent = hardly any damage, less than brawl, I'm sure
Tentacles = not worth slotting for damage, do about 5 ticks of hardly anything.
Eviscerate is teh uber, if it's anything like Ripper. If you want AoE, go spines!

[/ QUOTE ]Immobilize and -knockback are two seperate effects. While many immobilizes do -knockback, some do not.

Not really, the animation is horribly long and it actually decreases your DPS. The damage is hardly any higher than Focus either.
just roll a spines scrapper?

I find that you cannot rely soley on Focus for decent damage. I think eviscerate is wonderful. I regularly catch 3 mobs in its Cone and its great in boss fights when you cen perma knockdown a mob with Focus / shockwave and rip them with Evis. Dont forget, it has a slightly improved chance to crit too. In PvP, if you didnt take Eviscerate, you'd barely be tickling people.
I've grown to enjoy playing with tanks, stay close and spam Spin whenever it is up. Coupled with my friend's FS it rings for an average of 250 dmg. That led me to want more AoEs to throw into the mix.
Shockwave would be obvious, except knockback kinda upsets the whole 'spam AoEs into a cluster of enemies' which in turn made me think of imobilises, namely Tenebrous Tentacles.
As a bonus they do damage too O
So, basicly go in, get FSed, throw TT to glue the mobs down, throw Spin, Shockwave, hell, throw Torrent as well, dunno what damage it does as Hero planner doesn't state it, and I've seen 'minor' damage do as much as so called moderate.
In order to fit everything I had to gimp my single target chain, removing Slash and keeping Strike instead. By the planner it's around 1 BI less but the gain of an extra AoE (in fact, of them all since it was pretty much the only way I could find to wedge them all in *and* slot) should offset it for team play... I think.
