Was it too squishy or something? I'm sure it wasn't hurting in the damage department...
oh it could kill grops np but if i didnt kill them quick they would get me lol

This is going to sound weird, but if you wanted a strong Scrapper, play a Fire/Fire Tanker.It plays like a heavy Scrapper, and yes, it does ALOT of damage.Just without the Crit going off, and the AoE, no problem.|

Even though I use my Fire Tanker to Tank, its still a viable damage dealer, and feels very much like a Scrapper cause of how nasty it hits for damage, and it survives the Alpha easly to wipe a mob more effectivly then a Scrapper of the same sets.
Takes a few more levels to get your hands on Fire Sword Circle, and your higher ST attacks, its still very well worth the wait.
Just a thought.

I had SO much fun leveling my fire/fire tank! She felt so strong .. when I found out scrappers were getting fire, I couldn't WAIT! ... ... I still have yet to make a /fire scrapper. :P Just think it would be too squishy. I do have a 50 fire/sr, and working on a fire/shield now, tho.. |

@Kiri-chan is my hubby!
i think i want to keep it a scrapper, still tryng to decide... any good scrapper ideas ?
My vote goes out for anything/regen...
Regen is great from the get-go, survivability strong from level 2 when you get reconstruction.
If you want a more AoE based primary I'd go with spines or elec.
/Fire, /Elec and /Dark would be the more AoE based secondaries if you want to go all out AoE.
Spines/Fire and Spines/Dark would be the best for PBAoE (Maybe spines/elec too, havn't seen one going around so wouldn't know).
Claws can also be strong AoE-wise if you set up Eviscerate and Shockwave well.
Perhaps try a claws/regen? From my experience with one (it's now level 50 and fully IOd) it levels extremely quickly. I solo'd from 1-50 with it and didn't take long, I avoided shockwave myself but you can still do strong AoE damage without it and the ST attacks are so quick that you tear through things in no time.

Have you thought of going the route of IO sets, to make the Fire/Fire not so wimpy?|

And while Elec/ is a little less focused on ST killing, you're a scrapper. And you're better at it than Spines at any rate, plus you'll have AAO to boost your ST damage.
Perhaps Katana/Fire (or /ELA or /DA) for damage aura and Katana's AOE + Divine Avalanche to boost survival, may be to your liking.
Not knocking /Shield. I don't think it's as great in the survival department as others make out (out side of DM/Shield), but this is me seeing Tankers in action on tough TFs.

I took Shield for my Axe brute for Theme only, and might possibly be taking it with a Broad Sword scrapper, but most likly ill go SR with Broad.Not a huge fan of SD either, but I finally made a concept that looked good with it.|

Anyhow, I remember back to my old Fire/Fire Scrapper, and im puzzled as to you being dissapointed with it, and it being too wimpy.
I never really had a issue playing mine, but then again im a risk/rewards player, and I have a high survivability on builds other people cant stay alive on if they where paid to.A Fire/Fire Scrapper being one of them.
You seem to be wanting a total juggernaught package in your Scrapper, and from how you describe your issues, you dont seem like a risk/reward player.
You seem to want damage, and survivability for your build, and to be good at both of these at the same time.
The only build I could suggjest for you, that I suggjested to another player before, would be a Spines/Willpower build.
Youll have a AoE damaging Aura by level 18 in your Spines Primary, and it Crits, as well as at mid levels, to higher levels, youll be capable of "Off Tanking".The more things that surround you ampliphy your Regen, and your AoE attacks will more then cause alot of damage to your enemies, as well as some ranged powers that will make it easy to reach a target, or give a alpha strike on a Boss, or Lt.
Or go with Spines/Regen if you dont like the WP feel, or perhaps go with Spines/Invln, and have the capability of Tanking at later levels, even before considering IOs.
The only Scrapper I have right now is a Claws/Invln, and it does a decent job at Taking Alpha already, even at level 24 when a PUG I join cant find a Tanker.
But for you being in the "Survivor" mind set, you may want to consider my suggjestions for a Scrapper.
