Congratulations on Miss Arcana reaching level 50, and glad to hear that you're having so much fun!
(And welcome to the dark...er...scrapperlock side! Muwahahaha! 
)
What's next on the agenda? Incarnate-y goodness for your new 50, or another scrapper project?

I don't even remember helping you.....but I'm glad I could

For Miss Arcana I have completed an IO build and am working on my incarnate goodies. In 10 days I may have to let my sub run fallow while awaiting some income (a dubious joy of self-employment -- while we're at, someone please tell my boss to stop harassing me!), so I have an SO-only MA/inv scrapper to work on next |

Y'know, I created a BS/SD scrapper just for a costume idea, and ended-up loving it so much, it turned out to be my second level 50, ever. It's definitely a really fun combo!

On a related note, after getting a widow, a defender, a blaster, a corr, and a couple brutes to 50, I finally caved and stuck to a StJ/SD to see if I can do some stupid scrapper tricks myself. I adored her concept and powers so much that I went whole hog, spent a couple months marketing, and put together a purple 'n Hami build as soon as she hit 50.
To put it in my best Christopher Eccleston voice, she's fantastic. After one too many bad encounters with defense debuff, I had to hold back on the scrapperlock with my widow. (Which is probably for the best on teams anyways.) With my scrapper? CHARGE!

BS is fun. Paired with SD it is awesome. Nothing feels better than hitting an Av with Headsplitter for over 1000 damage. Only other time I've had a melee toon hit that hard in one hit was my SS/Stone armor brute paired with 2 Kins and a Storm for a knockout blow. So to be able to do that on my own with my BS/SD feels great. It might not move as fast as some sets but nothing else feels better than smushing a minion or LT in one hit to katana's 2-3 hits.
On a side note, Spyral just made me watch Dr Who. Again.

My pleasure! I have recently been leveling another BS/Shielder named the Unmitigated Gaul, and having a lot of fun myself. There's a certain pacing to the attacks -- it's not dizzyingly fast-feeling, like, say, Staff -- but it's very satisfying. I keep opening that particular can. |

Back in May this community was kind enough to share its various opinions regarding the essential scrapper experience. Following your recommendations, my BS/SD dynamo, Miss Arcana, hacked and slashed her way through fifty levels of game content - faster than I have ever leveled a character before.
Please accept my thanks for all your advice. My game experience has broadened and its quality improved. The only drawback is, if it could be called such, all my characters are payed like a scrapper. My defenders are taking alphas, my controllers are tanking, and I have received more debt badges in a month and a half than I earned in the previous four years.
Nah. There's nothing wrong here
