Indecisive on new scrapper...

I have a level 50 Katana/SR who I recently IOd out and he's brilliant, but now he's all finished, I really want to roll a new scrapper, I just can't settle on a build I like. I've rolled both a Claws/WP and MA/WP, but I don't like the animations and SFX of Claws, MA feels quite sluggish and I have doubts on WP as it feels like it might be quite a boring secondary later on. I've been reading quite a few /DA guides and reviews and it sounds quite fun, but I'm still indecisive. So I was just wondering, what sets have all of you scrapper veterans found to be the most fun?

Well, I find Katana/Regen to be the most fun, but you've already done Katana. I also enjoyed Broad Sword/Shield Defense much more than I expected, probably my second favorite leveling toon after my Katana/Regen, but was shelved at 50.

Well, heck. Why not go with a classic that is completely different from Katana/Super Reflexes. With power customization, give Spines/Dark Armor a shot!

I am waiting for I16 to drop. Will be going DM/Elec. Seems like a good mix.

The Electric melee and defense sets in I-16 should be fun if you can wait a little bit.

Like Werner I've had a blast with my BS/SD scrapper, who quickly made me put my 50 FM/WP scrapper in retirement and became my new main. Shield defense is just that good, shield charge is my favorite power in the game and it's quite easy and cheap to softcap those defenses.

I also really enjoyed the road to 50 on my DB/SR scrapper. Some will say the animations are hokey, but I like them and never get tired of firing off combos, it definitely adds a new dimension to the scrapper primary. And /SR will always be a top performer one you hit the 40's. I can't tell you how many teams I've been on that has wiped, and there I am still swinging away until everyone makes it back, surrounded by mobs and fresh corpses.

FM/WP was easy mode. Willpower is strong and it's great to jump into a large group and never see your green or blue bars move. And Fire melee is just damage, tons of damage, and then an extra few ticks of sweet dot damage to top it off.

I really, really want to make a /SD toon but I have no clue what primary to put with it! For some reason, I hate the BS animations...they just bother me.

I'm thinking either DM or MA with a heavy leaning towards DM. I' m guessing that the end consumption between MA and SD would be somewhat difficult to manage w/out a ton of inf.

Doesn't DM have some sort of end recovery power? Or am I thinking of DA?

I am trying out a MA/SD scrapper right now started last night. So far he is only lvl 7 but i am staring at his Blue bar at it scares me on how much end he eats up. I can see that upper lvls are gonna be a endurance heavy. Hopefully when i get Stamina it'll be ok.

Be different.
Roll an ma/da scrap.
Cobra strike+oppressive gloom never gets old.
