And I'm looking to start a new scrapper.

Already decided on one and that's a Kat/SR, but I'm stuck between 2 secondaries to pair with Willpower: These are Fire/ Spines/, looking for something that stands well solo and can also decimate groups when I need to generate Inf.

I know that Fire/ probably has the better single target attacks and that Fire Sword Circle is an awesome mob killer, but does the combo of Spine Burst/Quills out shine it?

If you want AOE damage, spine's has more than Spine Burst / Quills. Throw Spines is a targeted AOE attack and Ripper is a PBOAE cone. So spine's can rip through mob's.

Willpower's a good combo with spines for a couple reasons: first the higher endurance recovery helps offset quills.. and Willpower is just a good solid set to start with on the defensive side.

On it's own though, Fire's going to chew through single targets quicker with it's more pwerful single target attacks and stacking D.O.T.'s. If your aim is to hunt Ebby's, AV's, and Monsters, Fire would be the way to go.
