Just FYI you are more likely gonna have some scrapper lovers saying scrappers are better because of the better damage or brute lovers saying that more resist is the way to go. When it comes down to it it's all up to your platstyle and what are you looking for. If I am farming only then I would like to have a brute, but if I am doing team missions only then scrapper would be my choice.
Proton Sentry Peacebringer:lvl 50+++ - Human Build / Triform Build
Quasar Sentry Warshade:lvl 50+- Human Build / Triform Build
Red Katipo Arachnos Soldier:lvl 50+++ - Crab Build / Bane Build
Black Katipo Arachnos Widowlvl 50+++ - Fortunata Build / Night Widow Build
Yay the brute just got annoying when it comes to just badging for accolades and stuff like that cause his dmg aint OP without rage. and personally I just want a OP toon lol
My elec/elec scrapper has become one of my favorite toons lately. But for farming, the scatter of mobs is extremely annoying. They're constantly running all over, which adds time to every single spawn. So for farming I'd say the brute would definitely be better.
For teaming either will work, but like you said, scrappers have the advantage of instantly jumping into a fight and contributing max damage, without any warmup.
Due the brutes ability to taunt I just think the brute version of /fire is far superior versus being on a scrapper.

Burn should no longer have "fear" attached to it.
Throwing darts at the board to see if something sticks.....
Come show your resolve and fight my brute!

I'd miss the taunt in blazing aura too much to roll a scrapper. I have a Spines/Elec scrapper thats been chilling at about 25 for months because the lack of taunt aura is awful.
Be that as it may, the AI running from the dmg isn't the same as the Fear in the last iteration of Burn.

I have an Elec/Fire scrapper that's built just for playing. 35% S/L defense, comparable energy/negative defense. Global recharge is something like 50%, not a huge amount. For farming ambush maps it is okay. For farming normal game missions it's not all that hot because enemies flee like crazy. Yes, I have a deadly alpha strike. If I had made the toon for farming purposes I would definitely have gone for a Brute for the taunt factor as well as the higher fire resist.
I asked pretty much this question two months ago, the result was inconclusive.
Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
I love the alpha my Elec/Fire scrap is putting out but if I was gonna make a farmer I'd make the Brute. The taunt effect in BA is really important.
Personally I'm not fond of /fire on scrappers, it's defensive numbers are pretty low, which seems to hurt scrappers the most, and it really benefits from taunts on BA and burn.

Don't feel bad. I don't know any elec/fire brutes that are able to use rage either.|

Seriously, cucumbers taste better pickled.
Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.
"You're right...I forgot...being constantly at or the near the damage cap is a big turn off. Definitely not worth it."

I have both on two different servers. The brute is a ticket farmer and there to help the SG get levels, the Scrapper is for everything else outside of AE. I don't need taunt on a scrapper if I'm on a team, I need to kill stuff fast...and that's what he does. I built for 33% S/L and 25ish E/N....a purple makes me plenty tough for most content.
Make one. It's awesome.

What you think would be better for teaming and farming?
