DM/Ice scrapper is crazy fun and one of my favorite combos in CoH. I like the combo enough that I plan on leveling a DM/Ice brute once my scrapper hits 50. Another fun combo with ice is savage melee.
Bill isn't wrong here, there are two individuals in this thread who feel it is their place to tell the rest of us that we are wrong if we don't 100% agree with the changes being made.
See Lex Talion's post above, I don't think I could say it and better. Pesonally I would rather keep playing my EM brute as is then to have yet another combo set. I will hold off on judgement of the scrapper set until I try it out but I don't have much hope at this point.
