Spines/Elec Scrapper
Primary: I'd drop ripper. lunge and impale will suffice.
Secondary: fine
Pools: Weave, eh... if you build for defense, go for it. otherwise you will be fine with tough.
Ancillary: this is the kicker. If you can get 2 free powers, dark mastery for night fall rocks. If you have three, you can get fire blast and fireball (the generally preferred method).
Playstyle wise you're just gonna fire your fat cone(s) (or fireball), then spine burst after jumping in, with your auras shredding anyone remaining. Lunge for closer enemies you missed, impale and fire blast (if you get it) for the farther ones. You shouldn't have to move around too much.
If you had 3 open powers you could even get tenebrous tentacles. With a purple set, you could also throw in the +hold proc, adding to your survivability. Although, according to mids, it does more damage than night fall... which is stupid.
A ragnarok +KD in throw spines would also add more minor mitigation.
You may even want to consider hasten/SS for your travel (with hurdle) instead of SJ. You wouldn't be able to slot a kismet (loss of combat jumping), but generally it helps speed farming runs up. (totally personal preference).
Personally, I'd go with dark mastery for the two extra cones. Petrifying gaze can take a 4 set of basilisks gaze for 7.5% recharge, so it's not totally wasted. This requires that you drop ripper and weave, and take lightning reflexes last (slotless power). so tenebrous tentacles can have full slots.
I hate to be the bringer of bad news... but Willpower sucks!!! you're better off rolling a regen

Hey all. I am looking for a spine/elec farming scrapper. I have no prior experience with /elec and don't know what needs to be picked in making a farmer. I need some insight on power choices. Here are mine.
