focused accuracy is useful.
or lose a power and snag up fighting pool, compliements willpower well.
I'd like at least Combat Jumping in there to go with Super Speed and then probably Focused Accuracy as Neko suggested

Drop the WP self-rez and pick up the Fighting pool.
I'd drop resurgence and scorch/fire sword (keep whichever you like, only 1 of them is needed). Pick up the fighting pool and leaping. Different combos you could go for: boxing/tough/weave + CJ. Or: boxing/tough + CJ/SJ.
I found I didnt need fire sword on my FM character, incinerate > GFS > scorch > cremate > scorch
is a good attack chain.

My FM brute found Scorch to be considerably better than fire sword, but fury and critical hits work very differently and I wouldn't be surprised to find my preference falling the other way on a scrapper........... except Scorch looks much cooler and style is everything on a scrapper. EVERYTHING

I use scorch on my scrapper instead of fire sword. It's just a lot smoother that way 
And yes, stylish!

realised i didn't need fire sword so ive taken that out, put combat jumping in
Not sure about focused accuracy, it takes up too much endurance and i seem to be able to hit most things,
i kinda like conserve power, but im not sure if its worth it when i have stamina and quick recovery and when i slot some -end cost ench's it probally wont be needed at all.
I want to take the fighting pool especially for weave but i dont have 3 slots avaliable, and i quite like my self res, i seem to use it a lot as i am relativly new to this game.
so what you guys think??

Fighting Pool would reduce significantly your use of self rez
this is true, so i could sub that in,
so would it be worth taking focused accuracy which could cause me to lose my toggles from edurance loss or take conserve power which would do the opposite??
Focused Accuracy is being changed today on I13 and it swaps ToHit Buff for Acc Buff while its endurance cost is reduced if I am not wrong. I'll wait until patch notes are released for full details, but I am already considering using Tactics instead of FA myself.
If you don't have acc problems, not sure the new Focused Accuracy will do any good except maybe on the ToHitDebuff Protection (if they haven't changed it).
If you are worried for the endurance, you can compensate it by slotting more endrdx in your attacks since with FA you'll only need 1xacc IO and even maybe none if you have attacks with higher base acc.
so if im thinking of sloting invention enhancements into my powers so they will all have quite high accuracy, and i cant take tactics cos i dont have enough free slots what do i do now?
I could possibly keep the self res, or would that be a bad choise?
I am personally not fond of self rez powers, for me it's like being defeated beforehand, although hardcore number crunchers will state that faceplanting is a mere technicality and [censored] like that, I hate faceplanting on a scrapper and will never incorporate a self rez into my attack chain.
Either Figthing Pool or Medicine Pool would drastically reduce your need of self rez, I personally prefer Fighting Pool for a more scrappery feeling, downside is, when you see your green bar going down, you usually go down, but you have a heavy dmg primary and it should be relatively easy to have every foe dead before you hit the carpet.
In case you feel you lack a bit of Accuracy, don't forget there's a very useful low lvl enhancement, Kismet 6% Accuracy that you can slot in Combat Jumping for a bit more Accuracy if needed. If later you feel you still can benefit from Focused Accuracy or other powers, you can always respec your char.
Even better, isn't the kismet 6% tohit rather than acc?
I like the /DA rez for the huge stun can provide some lol moments in PvP, and I need all the help I can get.
If you are worried about endurance then I suggest Performance Shifter: Chance for + end, 1 of these in both Quick Recovery and Stamina sorts that. IMO Medicine pool isn't needed, but its certainly another option, depending on playstyle. With the amount of +regen you can get into your build with IO's, coupled with both Tough and Weave, and the -acc in Rise to the Challenge you shouldnt have any problems, not even against EBs, especially with the high damage from Fire Melee.
If you don't have it yet, I suggest acquiring Mids Hero Designer and have a play about on that, it will show you your overall defense, damage resistance and regeneration.
Have fun

Performance Shifter chance for +End is great, but tbh a WP scrapper with both QR and Stamina, really shouldn't need it and neither Conserve Power for that matter...
Kismet unique does give ToHit, not Accuracy.

Even better then.
Well ive reached level 47 (first hero almost at epics woo)
but i dont knoe what to slot in the last 2 slots.
I am a fire/WP scrapper and have taken all of the WP powers and all but fire breath and the taunt on the fire melee side.
i took super speed as a travel power, and the fitness set.
I only have 2 slots so can only go up to the 2nd tier pool power.
I don't know what to do, does anyone have any ideas of what would be usedful for my scrapper cos im lost.
thanx in advance =)
