So Far, Enjoying my First Scrapper

You would think after almost two years of playing CoX I would have started up a Scrapper. I think the bias came from starting out with my Blasters with their awesome ranged attacks. I also tried my hand at building a Tank only to get very frustrated and delete them after about 15 to 20 levels. So, thinking a Scrapper was like a Tank, I kept away from that build.

So, after careful thinking and suggestions from these forums, I built a Fiery Melee/Fiery Aura Scrapper. Got her up to level 12. I think the only real way one can learn from these builds is to do one of their own and see how it comes out. Everyone, it seemed had their own favorite builds. I think what I am seeing is how a Scrapper has the feeling of being more offensive minded with quick and deadly kills. Similar to some of the fun I had with my Blasters.

The thing I need to clarify is the difference between a "Critical Strike" and a "Critical Hit". For my level 50 Stalker, if in hidden mode and you land an Assassin's Strike, you can usually land a Critical Hit. So, for Scrappers, the exact definition according to paragonwiki says: "Scrappers possess Critical Strike capability. Their melee attacks have a chance to sometimes do double damage." So, what it is telling me when it says "double the damage?" How do I know when or how to do this "double damage?" Is it based on what type of melee my Scrapper does or is it based on the type of power used?

Well each attack has a 5% chance to do a Crititcal Strike on a minion and on a LT or higher it as a 10% chance. Some attack have a better chance(10% and 15%) and will say it if it does. All of your primary power sets have a chance for a crititcal strike as do the Epics. I don't know if power pools do, and I know secondary don't.

Now each time you get a Crititacl Strike it will pop up, just like Assassin's Strike does, saying Critical Strike.

Pools do
