How does Willpower do on Scrappers compared to Brutes?

[HoundsTooth]

I've finally decided my next toon will be TW/WP. I am undecided between Brute or Scrapper.  I would prefer to roll it as a Scrapper, but it seems like WP does much better on Brutes. Brutes have higher HP which translates to more regeneration.

 

How noticeable is this difference? Are /WP scrappers still tough? Is WP  flat-out better on Brutes?

My main is a TW/WP scrapper. He's plenty durable.

 

Brutes have 12% more HP and the same resistance/defense numbers, so they're only marginally tougher. Brutes also have a higher resist cap, but /WP doesn't have enough resistance for that to be super relevant except with inspirations or Strength of Will.

 

Rend Armor crits are super satisfying, but on the other hand, a brute would have a reason to take Taunt, and the TW definitely has the game's best taunt animation.
