yes

either one will do...the formula for a successful soloing scrapper

1 primary + 1 secondary = successful soloing scrapper

Spines/Regen would be easier to solo then Spines/FA (which builds late and is squishier then Regen).

Here's a link to the tougher version of a Spines/Fire Scrapper though (big time farming toon).

Oh good, someone I can convince.

Now before all the Fire lovers come in and get upset , I want to say first. I like FA< I was going to make it my next Spine and if I feel like using a slot I will, but for now, I will go with what I know. The Regen.

The major consensus on a Regen is you are more than capable of holding your own at any given time. The low levels are fun, and powers pretty effective. with DP, Recon, QR, and FH all coming at level 10 and lower, you should have no problem in that department. And Impale, BU, Spine Burst, Lunge and Barbed Swipe (even though If your going to take this power, I would suggest speccing out of it later.) Definitliy not needed, and to long of animation time etc.

Your quest from 1-10 is covered. Once you start to get in your teens and 20's You can get Intergration (absolutely love that its a toggle in this pool) and of course your bread and butter quills.

20's and 30's well, you get your lifeline, Ripper. I strongly suggest taking this as soon as it is avail (26) You will see this to be a very useful toon. I didn't bother with the Rez because I will be honest, I just dont die enough to need it, and its a waste of a power on someone built to not die. IH and MoG are your last two that you should go for. To me I needed it all, and would not want it without.

As for pools, of course I took CJ, SS, Tough, Weave (ugghhh kick) and I went with Body Mastery for FA. If you have another power to burn you can get the cool animation of Targeting Drone, but hey, it wasnt for me and I couldnt fit it in.

If you are serious I could talk to you about it some more and get into more specifics with numbers, I dont have the build in front of me because I am at work but, I will post back any other questions you might have about it. As far as the build goes, well I have no problems helping out.
