Right now I'm playing 2 DP/TM corruptor toons using the toon stats posted here as a guideline. Namely (at this point) level 14 t-porter & a level 10 speedster (thou neither is high enough level-wise to get those power yet).
So far either can more than hold their own in a small crowd melee-wise, yet still do ranged damage. It seems that getting Temporal Mending at level 4 and Time Juncture at level 10 seems to have made surviving mass melee combat possible- so far (as long as the foes are no more than +2 levels). And both toons seem to now have that "gun-fu" like feel.

Sixth grade i would say, unless the first grade in your area has really high standards. The typical first grade level reader would have difficulty even knowing what a lot of words in the OP meant. |

Besides that, you knew what the OP meant. I think anyone with a reading level above first grade knew what the OP meant. |
Pedantry aside, DP/Time does seem like a fun melee-centric concept. i have a DP/Dark who tends to get in close and my Traps/Dark Defender constantly bounces into melee range and back out again.
i approve of the OP's build and the post itself, but then i do read at a level slightly above that of most first graders. Allegedly.

If you read the entire post, you will see that the OP did indeed claim that it is a scrapper. One sentence claimed it to be a jumping off point for the imagination, but in another sentence actually wrote that the OP now has a pistols scrapper. See the quote at the end of the post.|

That's not me putting words in the OP's mouth. That's not me misinterpreting what the OP wrote. It's what the OP actually wrote.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Secondly, how is it hurting you anyway?

Heh, yeah, I've felt like this playing my DP/FF corruptor for a while now. Indestructible pew pew pew!!
Im making this.. thanks for the idea..
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-
Nice! First time I saw /Time in play I wondered if it would work well with DP/ for this type of character. If I already didn't have so many irons in the fire i'd be setting this up right now. Kinda reminds me of my DP/EM Blaster I levelled right after DP and DS were made available to those who pre-purchased GR. Damn, but that was fun!

I believe you quoted the statement you're referring to previously and I already addressed it. If one reads the entire post, as you suggest, one of the very first things it declares is that the post is not absolute truth, but rather a 'statement of fun'. If, after that very clear declaration, you take what follows to be absolute truth, you have nothing but your own failure of comprehension to blame.|

This is a concept build. My character spends almost all of her time in melee, and her damage is NOT on par with a scrapper. She will be susceptible to status attacks until I get Incarnated out. This character is currently only level 33, but is an absolute *joy* to play. If you have ever wanted to play a pistol scrapper, I humbly offer this build as a jumping off point for your imagination. |

The same thing goes for terms like Blapper, Tanktroller, Scranker, Contranker, and Scraptroller. Of course those AT's don't exist, but they feel like they exist when you play them.
Now stop being a tightwad.

Yeah I can do selective quoting too and the following indicates quite clearly that the OP is playing a corrupter in a scrapper-like manner.|

If you read it, then you either skipped a sentence or misunderstood because the OP actually did write that they now have a pistols scrapper. See the quote below. If the OP had instead written something along the lines of "and finally with the introduction of Time Manipulation I have something close" then I wouldn't have bothered replying at all. The problem is, the OP actually claimed to now have a pistol scrapper and there is no such thing. That's not me putting words in the OP's mouth. That's not me misinterpreting what the OP wrote.

Yeah, I teamed with a Pistol "Scrapper" last night.
Pretty badass if I do say so myself.

Tex sure knows how to make an interesting, fun read into a truly joyless over-analysation of someone else's concept build 
To the OP.... interesting what you've done here. Obviously (coughcoughTex) not truly a Scrapper build, but I might have found something to try out while I wait for Titan Weapons
.. i really hope that they fix the DP animation bug soon though, it's a bit annoying.....
