Choosing between Dark/Shield, Elec/Shield, and Spines/SR
In general, the Devs have tended to give slightly more AoE potential to Tanker sets than to Scrapper sets. Proliferation caused them to have to assess whether they intended that as a pattern, and conbustion's removal from Scrapper Fiery Melee says, "Yes, that's intended" to me.

Exactly. Which is why additionally i'm having a blast simultaneously playing my fire/Sr alongside my elec/shield. The elec/shield will be better at large spawns, but the Fire/Sr will be no joke to that either, and will be much better ST damage for when soloing any small mobs and bosses.
