So I’ve put a lot of resources into my shock scrapper because I loved the play style. I’m 1450 with 5x3 and lvl 7 gems, but I literally can’t do damage in raids… I’m so slow and every time I get back position the boss moves or I get hit and interrupted. Do I just suck? Lol. I’m assuming this will feel better when playing with supports with yearning set but I shouldn’t be out damaged by a 1415 striker in Argos, which did happen.
This is a you issue, what are those 5 engravings you have?
For reference this was one of my runs a couple of days ago, 1462. Those two SHs were 1500 and 1490.
I am using shock/grudge/adr/AM/kbw with entropy6 and mostly lvl7 gems
Shock really needs a support with yearning set to land the skills reliable it’ll also truly shine later on with more stats, but still you shouldn’t be out damaged by a 1415 striker. I guess it boils down to playstyle, because Argos is tough to consistently hit back attacks and the striker might have been more experienced
The full dmg engraving shock scrapper requires good positioning and preferably a db or smth. Usually with spirit ur dmg in raids is better because you can actually hit properly
Did people forget that stats exist in this game? How are your stats distributed? domination endurance scrapper wont do damage, of course. < This is an example, no offence.
OP rly should share his actual build if he wants help 
My engraving are grudge, shock, kbw, am, and cursed doll my stats are a 60/40 split of spec/crit and I don’t have the relic set yet still working on it
I just kinda assumed people would think I was using correct stats lol
I do not trust anyone about stats. However →
Judging from this pretty Maxroll image your issue is caused by skill. And no offense to you. A lot of the Spec/Crit classes require a lot of knowledge of the raid you’re doing, rotations and positioning. So keep your head up and slowly learn them.
Not an expert with Scrapper, but you could try using your space bar x2 + that yellow dash movement skill to get to the back faster if you just been walking to re-position.
Anyways tho, I wouldn’t use just one case where you didn’t perform that well to tunnel vision yourself into thinking you’re bad with the class cuz we all humans and have like bad days and good days. Plus, Argos has more of a tendency to move around more often.
Imo, Argos isn’t really that relevant anymore since everybody is either bussing it or whatever. It’s just legion raids where your damage matters. You should have an easier time with Valtan and Vykas once you know their patterns/familiar with the raid.
Forget about backattacks on Argos. He is constantly turning and kicking. Also If you dont run Spirit absorption you need at least a support with yearning set to shine.
Keep in mind that shock scrapper is one of the slowest classes in the game and a real late scaler.
From your stats i would say, your crit is too low for kbw and you also are too slow to utilize am. You need around 80% backattack to make it better than other engravings. (It’s nice on a dummy but sucks in every current legion raid for us shockers)
My build is shock, grudge, adrenaline, kbw, Spirit… this plays so much smoother
You fked up by not going Taijutsu piano mode.
Honestly to be fair, shock scrapper has to rely on extra crit chance.
Have that be class synergy in groups, adrenaline full stack, card set or whatever
classes that has most of their DPS packed in few skills and has no self crit chance buff will have fluctuating dps (ex) igniter sorc, shock scrapper, surge deathblade etc.)
in theory 1500 shock scrapper compared to less crit dependent class at 1445 would have less or similar dps output if none of the skills crit (this of course is an example not a statement)
For example, for maximum output, shock scrapper would need the skill to crit, back attack, full adrenaline stack, and green bar resource managed well.
