I have one on Champion....(Elec/Fire/Pyre) and it it has better burst dmg than my brute (Elec/Fire/Mu). If they would just add a taunt aura for scraps in Fiery Aura (BA) I would reroll on my main server in a heartbeat.
Best of luck with your choice....I built mine for S/L/E/N Def (around 23% to all) and packed in as much Rech as I could....sturdy toon on a team with any +Def buffs and really can handle most things, save for Psi, without issue. Plays more like a tough blaster.
Best of luck with your decision!
I found out that LR is considered a pet and caps at 400% dmg instead of the 675 or 775% dmg cap from brutes. I believe I'd be getting more form a scrapper than a brute for PvE. This would be for PvE not Farming. LR on a scrapper does alot more than on a brute. I looked at both builds the only differences was that the scrapper had 300 less HP than the brute and the scrapper caps out at 75% res for fire and never each 90% res if buffed from sonics or anything like that. And a scrapper has fear in burn? Overall the scrapper seemed like it would be putting out alot more dmg, but be harder to stay alive, and my brute has almost all the accolades and like 300 badges and like 4 customs and all that. having a hard time deciding if it's time to rebuild or not. And T4 recharge and T3 DMG and 4 NoTW with some shards.. Any thoughts?
