Have you taken the i24 resistance set bonuses, both the added ones and the improved ones, into account? Even if you don't think you'll be pushing 75% resistance with Dark Armor now, you're far more likely to see it happening in i24.|

Scrapper pros - Crits and damage from the first second of a fight. - I might want Weapon Mastery. Has anyone who played these two sets together got any advice, or is there any other catch with either on either archetype that I'm missing? |
Thus, I would recommend a Brute, as I would with essentially any set with substantial resistances to build from.
TEH WERDZ ON SKREEN HURTZ MI BRANE!
Brute if only for the taunt aura.
Where to now?
