TW Scrap or Brute?

I want to run a TW/WP scrapper or brute, but I'm not sure which would be better for my playstyle though.

Can you list some pros and cons for each?

Well can you tell us what your playstyle is?

My TW/WP is a scrapper. At level 46 I'm sitting at 2000 hp without any of the accolades yet, 38% e/n defense, 40% s/l defense (to be softcapped by the scrapper AT set and maybe a gladiator's armor for good measure) and a healthy dollop of global rech just because I know arc of destruction appreciates it. I appreciate it right back when it crits and kills lieutenants in one hit. Once I have musculature I will also be able to kill conefuls of minions in one hit fairly reliably. You could roll it as a brute and probably be fine but the scrapper version can be pretty much identically as indestructible yet so much hurtier. This will be even more true once the AT sets are out as the scrapper one is radically better.

I know brute damage can get very massive with fury but scrapper damage is decent from the beginning. I have several scrappers and brutes but I'm still undecided.

As for my playstyle, I like to be in the middle of battle and plan all my attacks around keeping the team safe/alive.
I even play like this on all my blasters, just keeping a close eye on everything around me and ensuring no one gets knocked out.

I do love massive damage though and TW looks good but I won't be able to get it till next month.

I've been running all sorts of TFs and my strategy is to run a spawn ahead of the next spawn because it isn't any risk to me and I can generally clear it by the time the team clears the spawn I skipped. So yeah, I'd say the scrapper version is just dandy for tanking. When circumstance demands that I stick with the team, the huge aoe knockdown that TW inflicts seems to keep people very safe. Unlike some secondaries, WP for scrappers still has the aura of stickiness so you don't need to worry about things running off.

Well, sometimes. During a fight with Nosferatu, he saw the way the wind was blowing and decided to skip town. Starting at half health he began running and didn't stop. Can't really blame that on scrapperness though since at that point I had confront and everything.

It sounds like a more deliberate mindset would favor the scrapper over the brute. However, the brute would be tougher and have better taunting ability than a similar scrapper, so bruting is still an option.

After reading the posts I've decided to go with scrapper. Thanks for the input guys!
