I recently started a DM/EA Scrapper, still very low level (like, below lvl 10). I've found his damage to be lacking, and survivability not particularly impressive. What am I doing wrong? I'm using the first two EA toggles, and the first three DM powers (fast, hard, and cone). The cone attack, in particular, has been mostly frustrating, since I hardly ever get to hit more than one target, and the long animation is maddening when it misses.
Please note I'm not saying you're wrong. I honestly feel I'm doing something wrong. Or maybe it starts weak, but gets stronger later on, like when you get both heals and both end drains? 😃
