Elec Melee is good for Stalkers because of how the crit on Thunder Strike works. It would be decent but not all that wonderful for a Scrapper - I'd go with Broadsword or Fire.

So fire is still decent then? I have a BS/WP scrapper and thought BS was a little weak due to rech and animation times. I had it speced for PvP with almost identical setup as a friend of mine on his Kat/WP and we were so close it came down to who critted first. He usually wound up winning cause they buffed Kat and he was dealing almost as much damage as me just faster.
Animation times are pretty much the only factor for damage anymore, so Broadsword will be better than Katana (though some people make do with Katana and are alright).

I was looking into doing an electric melee/regen scrapper. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this powerset being as new as it is. With DXP weekend around the corner I am looking to build a scrapper. I need a /regen for PvP. I currently have a 50 spines/regen I just cant bring myself to spec out (spend 3Bill + on what I should say....) but I really do want a scrapper to add to the PvP stable. I know Elec Melee is phenominal in PvE (my main farmer since I16 has been switched to my Elec/Shield brute) but was wondering if it had the damage for PvP. I had really considered an Elec/FA scrapper, but it just wouldnt be able to compete with regen. I try to get as close to FotM as possible without being 100% FotM if that makes sense. My only other thoughts for a new melee pvP toon have been Kat/FA or Kat/Inv scrapper, or a SS/FA brute. I do still need a brute for Pvp as well, but havent built a hero in a little while. Plus I have a little more money stashed away blueside. I have seen several Inv builds do fairly well and even considered something like DM/Inv brute or scrapper. But, I will probably go with the Elec/regen if it gets good feedback. So, any experience with Elec out there?. I would also consider /elec armor as I still don't have one of those yet. I just figured on a scrapper anyway, it is regen or nothing. Anyway, thanks for your time and I look forward to your replies. Hopefully I will be building my new melee toon tomorrow after heroes goes off lol. Get a head start before DXP :-).
