Staff always seemed like such a strong pairing with Willpower to me. Pumps resists a good bit. Decent AOE damage. The KD’s are pretty nice as well, as an active sort of mitigation. Keeping baddies on their butt to let WP’s regen really kick in.

Okay

To each their own I guess! Shield Charge + Shadow Maul really puts me in the middle of things, so I feel pretty scrappy haha.

Glad you're enjoying the Axe/Bio! Such a beast combo. Some questions on this: What about your Claws/Stone makes you like it more than your Claws/Energy? STJ/Rad seems super synergistic. Do you feel it is lacking overall or just not as fun? Lastly, DM/Shield I think is largely considered one of the "OG" optimal Scrapper combos. Similar to the question above, do you feel it was lacking in your experience or just didn't have the same fun factor for you?

One of my favorite parts of this combo is using the energy shield option and when ruining (with ninja run) you click any of your sword single target attacks. Looks sweet to do the run with your giant flaming sword drawn. Shield Charge + FSC + Combustion is a ton of fun.

Yeah, honestly DM/Shield just feels like it has no holes. Just solid across the board in every facet. Jack of all trades, master of some? 😂

Yeah there seems to be a lot of synergy there!

I know you loved pairing Ice Armor with Energy Melee! Any other secondaries you feel pair well with Ice Armor?

Shield/Firey Tanker seems like it’d be a force of nature. Love my Dark Melee/Shield Scrapper as well. So much synergy.

I’m toying around with a build myself (inspired by @Spaghetti Betty) which uses burnout and cycles Nin’s T9 and Unleash Potential. Should be pretty sweet. Great combo call out!

MA has caught my eye on a Scrapper. Any particular secondaries you’d recommend with it? I was looking at Ninjitsu, but I’m open to options. MA/Elec Armor seems great as well, but might be a better fit on a Brute or Tanker.

All outstanding pairings. I will forever love DM/Shield as one of the original “do it all” Scrappers.

Absolutely, I could just see that being a huge pain solo. If you were making it primarily for teaming though (with someone else on aggro control) man it seems like it ticks most of the boxes 😂

Excuse me while I go roll a Claws/Stone Scrapper =P

I will say though. Shield + Psi Melee wins ALL the style points. I have a Scrapper with the combo and it is all sorts of cool.
