If you want to actually utilize the attacks in fire for your attack chain, then BSword has it beat hands down.
However if you want to Scorch,Box,Scorch,Box,Scorch,Box,GFS repeat. Then go with Fire Melee
Broadsword. It crits more. It has almost 100 ft ko blow type range on the heavy hitter. It has innate acc bonus. Plus all you really should do is play it like a blaster with the fire epic and just use headsplitter as a big melee. Like bonesmasher way back
ok if BS is the way to go, should I bother with parry or taunt?

Just get bu, headsplitter, taunt and the tier 1 or 2. Not sure about the exact order of how scrappers get to pick powers so you might have to pick up one more but probably not. You can either choose to go ss sj phase webs(disruption build, scrapper taunt spam with webs is retarded) or the blaster build ss sj leadership fire epic. Thing with the fire epic is that it works best with regens as you can skip stamina and take phase and leadership so not sure about that. Either way you definitely want some for of perception so make sure to fit that into your build.

BS has the same 5% crit chance as attacks from other sets. Only Headsplitter has a higher chance (15% I think), and the range on that is 10 feet (melee base is 7 feet, KO Blow is 15). Not sure I'd go with the Fire epic on a Scrapper because someone with -tohit is going to wreck you unless you've got FA.|

What kind of pvp are you looking to do with this toon?
In my experience, Fire > BS in almost every type of pvp with the exception of lolfiteklub (due to parry). Fire has higher DPS and DPA then BS not to mention the DoT element and lethal damage is more resisted than fire damage.
Oh yeah...and there's redraw with BS/ which after playing a Spines/SR as my main for over a year--does get quite annoying especially if u plan to take LBE or another ranged power from your epic set.
ok so i basically came up with a build for each the first one is fire
