If I'm getting Stamina, I'd need one more power from Fitness. I figure I should go for Health over Swift, right?

Would 6 Recharges be a little overkill? It takes ToHit Buff as well, those worth using?
What do other people usually slot in Follow Up?

Also, an update... I'm doing much better now. I picked up Follow Up and Focus. My killing speed went from poor to quite fast, assuming I don't get a streak of misses (which, granted, happens every now and then).
I've got a few more questions if all you nice and helpful people aren't sick of me yet. :P
1) How come Focus sometimes just knocks the enemy down on the ground, but other times it knocks them back several feet?
2) Since I'm a complete newb, can anyone tell me how I -should- be slotting my powers? I'm so newbish that I only today discovered I can put more than one of the same type of enhancement into a power, thanks to Steampunk who mentioned 2 Recharges in Practiced Brawler.
3) Is it worth putting a lot of Recharges into Follow Up? I was in a team with a Rad/ Defender and got Accelerate Metabolism. I could use Follow Up before the buff wore off, and I noticed it seems to stack with itself? If it isn't worth it, how should I slot it? If possible, I'd like to keep the buff permanently on, at least.

Ah yes, I already discovered DOs. Thanks for clearing that up, as I said, I'm new.
I'm going to ding 20 in less than half a level. Acrobatics will become available to me, but I also don't have Practiced Brawler yet. I was actually planning on taking Acrobatics. Should I take Practiced Brawler instead? And is Acrobatics useless to me, then?

SOs?

Alright, thanks. Also, do I need Practiced Brawler if I get Acrobatics? I heard it makes you pretty much immune to Knockback, not sure how much the Hold resistance is, though...

Why do I need Stamina?

Also, should I respec out of Spin and focus on killing targets one at a time as fast as possible?

Spin is bad? It's the only AoE in the set before Eviscerate and Shockwave, I figured it's a good skill? When it -does- hit it certainly helps me wear down the entire pack of enemies...

I'm having trouble soloing on my Claws/Super Reflexes scrapper. He's level 11 at the moment. I have Swipe, Spin, Focused Fighting, Focused Senses, Agile, Combat Jumping, Hurdle.

I don't know, the character just feels... weak, compared to a Invulnerability/Battleaxe tanker I randomly started. One on one, I take forever to kill anything stronger than a Minion - even worse if it's higher level than me. My tanker kills things in two to three hits, liutenants take a little longer but spend most of their time lying down from the knockdown. Large packs of weaker mobs are slightly better... I tend to dodge most of the bullets and the like, but then something bops me over the head with a sledgehammer for 50-60 damage and I lose roughly one fourth to one third of my health. I feel horribly squishy.
I probably should have taken Strike as my first attack skill, Swipe does almost no damage.
Combat Jumping helps me avoid death by leaping to safety when my health hits red, at least...
Swipe misses all the time. I have a 10++ Accuracy Enhancement in it. Though, I've heard attacks have a higher miss chance in CoX than most MMORPGs anyway.

The event that made me create this thread was when I got a Safeguard mission from Kings Row. I had to stop a bank robbery. I had done this same mission with a lower level character (around 8 or lower, forgot) - the same Invul/Baxe Tanker I mentioned above - the day before without any trouble. On my Scrapper, who was level 11 at the time, I just got butchered by the villain and a Skull with a sledgehammer. It took me way too long to even kill the first mobs - I got a "The robbers are getting away" message, which I hadn't gotten on the Tanker. After I got revived, I got a message to foil the escape, with the map pointing me to the robbers' getaway truck. However, as I had no idea where the robbers themselves were, I was just horribly confused and ran around looking for them. I eventually ran back to the bank and tried going inside. Upon doing this I was kicked out back to Kings Row with a "Mission Failed" message.

I don't want to reroll a different character. I made him based on concept, Claws/Super Reflexes go with the feline theme I had in mind for him. I have faith he'll be less horrible in higher levels or when I finally learn to play him right.

Can anyone tell me what I could be doing wrong? Ask me questions, give me tips, anything. I can't figure it out. I thought Scrappers were supposed to be the best solo AT and melee damage AT, yet my Tanker outdamages and outsurvives him at a much lower level.
