Can Scrappers crit with Epic Power Pool attacks?

I'm assuming they can but figured I'd verify (been away for awhile but I have two upper-30s Scrappers once again on the move heh).

Yes, scrappers can crit with Epic attacks. They can also crit with any power pool attacks (Like Air Superiority or Boxing)

They cannot crit with vet attacks, temp powers or Brawl.

Also, you'll notice that Quills will land criticals, but things like Lightning Field and Death Shroud won't. That's because Quills is part of a scrapper primary and the others are in secondaries, and they wanted to change the secondaries as little as possible because they are shared across multiple ATs (there are probably other reasons too, that one just sprung to mind first)

Good place to ask -- does Lightning Rod in the Electric primary crit? I believe Shield Charge does not (and it's in the secondary anyway). I believe Lightning Rod is a "pseudo pet" power but I'm not sure if that prevents it from critting.

I actually have it one one character, but with so much damage spam flying around overhead (mine has a proc in it too) I haven't looked too hard yet.

I don't think it crits, but I don't have an Electric Melee scrapper above 32 so I can't personally verify it.

Any time a scrapper's attack crits you should see a big orange CRITICAL float up. If you never see that, then it probably doesn't crit.

Cant say that Iv'e ever seen the big orange CRITICAL, but at times, it seems like I see two of the same number float up from the same enemy. I'm not saying it's a crit, but without numbers or facts, I like thinking that it has a chance to do even MORE damage

I dont ever notice the criticals come up to be honest, as soon as the red mist of scrapperlock comes down . . . . oh all i can think about is how soon i can get to that next mob.
