Change in scrapper mentality...
Fire/SD for the BU --> shield charge --> fire sword cirle --> next mob combo.
DM/SD will give you higher sustained DPS IF you can find enough mobs to fuel the two pbaoe dmg boosters.
or BS/SD for HACK n SLASH glory
I simply cannot play BS because the powers have such violent names 'Disembowel' just gives me the creeps...
I am a big loved of claws/Willpower, is lots of fun and easy soloabitlity.
as a non scrapper lover , found myself loving my new claws/fire scrapper.
i dont need to be perfect , but claws looks great fun even at level 18 , and fire armor is not bad as i thought.
I havent played a /SD scrapper but shield charge does look like lots of fun.
As a scrapper I like nothing better than jumping into the middle of a mob and causing chaos before the tank gets there. With shield charge I can get there a lot quicker than the tank and cause a lot more chaos.
Maybe I will ditch the fire/fire scrapper I have planned... DM/SD you say?
