City of Heroes/Scrappers

A Spines scrapper is covered with big spikey spines. Not only can you hit someone with the spines on your fist, but you can fire spines at a single target or at everyone within range. Most of the attacks only do moderate damage, but because you can easily hit multiple foes the total amount of damage can really add up. Spines scrappers are AoE kings and can devastate large numbers of minions. They also enjoy the rare privilege of having a good ranged attack. All attacks contain a small dose of poison, which slows your enemy down. Spines also has the benefit of being the only Power Set that can deal Toxic typed damage. All Spines attack have a weak toxic damage over time component.

Powers
Barb Swipe A low damage, single target attack with a rather long animation. This not a power that seasoned Spines users take.

Lunge A decent single target attack that will serve a Spines Scrapper through most of their career.

Spine Burst The first AoE attack that Spines gets. Decent damage, good range PBAoE attack with a long animation time.

Build Up Inreases damage by 100% and accuracy by 66% for 10 seconds. A great power, especially in the earlier levels of the game.

Impale A high damage, single target, ranged attack with a long animation. Impale has an immobilize and -Fly status effect on any targets hit by it.

Taunt Forces a PvE enemy to attack the taunter. Locks the targeting reticle on the taunter in PvP.

Quills A PBAoE damage toggle. Decent range, very low damage per second. Don't let the low damage fool you, the total damage output from Quills adds up fast; especially in long fights or against large groups.

Ripper Arguably the second best attack in the set. High damage, 90 degree cone attack with a moderatly long animation. Ripper can knock down enemies, and knock back weak enemies.

Throw Spines A very decent damage, ranged, 90 degree cone attack. Easily the best attack in the Power Set.
