Overall Scrapper goodness: Elec/WP or Claw/WP?

I'm looking for a good overall scrapper. I currently have a level 32 Elec/WP guy, and I really enjoy the powerset. However, I have a low level claws guy too and he seems like he could be fun as the levels increase.

My playing time has become more limited and I would like to get another level 50 for some fun hunting; I mostly solo. My question is: Which is better all around at level 50? I'm not a huge AV hunter, but I would not mind taking down a couple when the need is there. I know elec does not do that too well, but it still looks like a nice set.

I'm up for other ideas too. I'm not a big fan of shield unless I'm holding a sword in the other hand, just not my preference.

I already have level 50 Kat/WP and Dark/WP. I am also thinking of just improving my dark/wp.

In my opinion claws is fast and a more active set while ele is probably a little more flashy but slower, but claws gets high jump attacks and constnatly attacking with fast recharges and low end atks if it was me claws all the way. I personally cannot see ele/wp together it just seems really boring, ele/fire probably more fun or ele/dark armor, or ele,shield defense.

Have you thought about trying something aside from willpower?

Sure, I'm not against something other than WP... of course I do like the set though. I have played other scrappers, but these are the ones I have kept.

Willpower is a fantastic set, but it is kind of an easy mode button, for most game situations. I think if you seriously applied to a different secondary, dispite what you pick for primary you might get more enjoyment out of your game experience.

All the primaries have something they are specifically good at; Elec is good AoE, Claws is quick and has that lovely range attack, Dark Melee is a single target powerhouse. But fundimenally they all play the same, there is a set attack chain that you use 90% of the time...

Secondaries are really what changes your experience in game and how the game interacts with you and what if anything you have to do in responce.

So thats my advice, pick your favorite primary since you have seemed to have sampled them all, and then pick a secondary they you have never touched and just learn something new, and just stick with it at times it might seem hard because you arn't used to it. But sooner or later you'll grow into it and you might have discovered a new favorite...
