I completely agree with Deus. Any Brute that doesn't have Taunt should definitely put it at the top of their list. It is a great power to have, if not for generating agro in a team setting then at least for the -75% range. You will come to love that ability even when solo. -
Quote:HA I bought 6 of these weeks ago when I first heard about the change for brutes and tanks.Originally Posted by Gypsy_of_Paradox
Brutes benefit greatly from this change, you say endurance is your problem? Easy when i19 releases, take Body Mastery, take Superior conditioning and Physical Perfection. You just need the default slot so don't worry, toss a Performance +End proc in each power. Now every ten seconds you get a chance to get +20 endurance added to your bar.
I believe you're an SS/WP from what you've said, if I'm right, endurance shouldn't even be an issue to begin with. Post your build please, not to be rude, but seem like it needs some help. -
This is gettin tough for me because I am looking at a post issue 19 build and having trouble deciding..
I have most of the standard powers and picked up the Mace Mastery pool and took We Envelope and the Mace Beam Volley which I though would be decent but and kinda meh...
I looked at the MU pool because I liked the idea of Electric Fences and Static Discharge as nice additions but I would lose Scorpion Shield and adding tough and weave doesnt really make up for the loss of that.
Then I heard about adding Provoke and running in Body Guard Mode which makes a LOT of sense..
The good thing is that I have a lot of option... The bad thing is that I have a lot of options !!! -

Quote:dont understand the comment about Blasters and Defenders here ???Originally Posted by IronLung1169
To answer the question regarding great archtype mob busters:
1. Tanks are the best - the right tank can agro an entire room and live to talk about it
2. Well built Controllers are great mob busters but need some help from their pets
3. Although it pains me to say it, Scrapers are good with some agro control and beefed up IO defense sets (I'm just not a scraper fan)
4. Avoid Defenders and Blasters at all cost -
Ive build pretty much every tank except Dark to level 50 and I just find that Invuln overrall is the best for me. Stone in granite is very very tough but you pay for that by being incredibly slow, travel limited and doing less damage.
My Invuln will get even better once issue 19 drops.. He already has perma Dull Pain, Soft capped defense with a very few foes in range and with IO's even has decent defense and resistance to PSI. And he is at the cap for smashing lethal resistance as well.
Plus no recharge or damage penalties. -
I like Invuln the best overall.

Lol, Dominators don't get Domination sets...those are for the support ATs like Corruptors and Defenders.
Dominators get control sets and Illusion Control is a control set therefore they should get it.
And if your argument stems from "The set doesn't benefit from Domination" well, the set doesn't benefit or facilitate Containment either.

I cant stand the howl sound. I wish there were alternate sounds.. maybe with the new aminations we will get new sounds..
-
You know what I find funny... I play blasters.. and I have played scrappers and I can tell you that every one of my blasters can take out a mob much faster than the majority of my scrappers.
Thats from playing.. not sitting around and crunching numbers.. -
Justice was my original server so all the characters there have some connection to a degree.
Virtue. I havent figured out yet. -
Ive got lots of characters with fly..
-
/Cold is a very good set and works will with many primaries. One of the key benefits you will get with cold is the ability to use Heatsink as a source of both end drain and recovery for you. The shield will definitely help the Gremlins survive better.
The combination of Artic Fog and Conductive Aura should be quite impressive. -

If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -
I wish there was a way we could choose what effect we wanted on a power. For some I would totally choose knockback.. Others I would choose Knockdown..
-
Primarily my function as a blaster is to defeat foes quickly. This can be done via range or up close. I dont consider any of my Blasters to be Blappers but they can get in and out of melee if need be.
-
Sucks.. im in NYC and I cant go cause I gotta work..
-
I love my SS/SR brute.. he is a beast and only going to get better with the Stamina change..
-
My first 50 was a Fire/Fire tank and that was before there ever was an Epic Pool..

Let me know when you learn how to play your blaster better than any of these
317 dps without applying minus regen. I may have to do the drudge work of collecting mob damage rates, just to show exactly what a horrible job was done balancing the ATs in this game. -
Quote:Or people could learn to play a blaster better.Originally Posted by Zourite
It was City of Blasters up until they fixed smoke grenade, then the bandwagon jumped on something else. It was a different time, with tank guys tanking a sh..load of mobs and regen scrappers being awesomesauce in perpetual god mode. Boring times if you ask me because the few top builds were pretty much mandatory.
For the actual blasters, I think, like some posters here that they lack a bit of survivability to let them do their full job, it can be addressed either by scaling their damage (which would be in in line with their glass canon role) or their defense. -
I have an interesting case of altitis.. I have lots of toons I want to make.. list them in a book. But I usually play from 1 all the way to 50 and then start another one. Ive been playing since two months after release so Ive been around for a while.
The Rad/Fire has been really really fun. I was playing that until Issue 18 came out and I started an Elec/Rad Controller... -
