It's sad but Fiery Melee on Scrappers just sucks. It's one of the lower damage sets with low burst damage and lots of DoT.

Rad armor is eventually good but it's expensive to make it tough. 

On a Scrapper you have to defeat everything before they defeat you. With Fiery Melee they get a lot of time to whale on you while your damage ticks away at their HP.  A Tank is plenty tough enough to sit there getting walloped while the enemies burn.

I tried out a bunch of different Scrapper combos, always giving up in disgust, before settling on my Tank version.  Rad, Shield, and Bio go great with Fiery on Tanks.

 

Edit: @Galaxy Brain's thing shows it 2nd to last.

 

 

Yeah, Fire Melee definitely has problems where it gave up all mitigation but did not get the firepower that say, Fire Blast or even Fire Control got in exchange 😞
