Brute cap = 90%

However, there's not many resistance's brutes can get over 75% without help from buff's.

Basically Brutes have Tanker caps when it comes to resistances...however they get scrapper level resist numbers in the powers.

My one and only suggestion for the changes...

Switch the animations for Swipe and Strike. That is it.

If your curious about the stealth cloak of DA being left in just look at the differences between stalkers EA and Brutes EA.

I would not hold your breath on it being left in.

Well... EA for stalkers was designed first, and then it was altered to be brute-suitable. In that case, Hide was replaced with Energy Cloak, not the other way around.

If DA simply ends up as a gloomy clone of EA, that'd be disappointing.

Actually Hide was probably replaced by power shield, repulse by energy cloak. But thats beside the point.

Again I would not put bets on cloak of darkness being left in. That one power would make DA significantly more appealing than any of the other sets. Hide+Cloak+Stealth tell me there wouldn't be issues there. Yes I am aware any stalker can get 3 stealth like powers on them, but the third takes another party.

What the hell are you talking about? Cloak of Darkness can't stack with Stealth.

Well ok color me stupid .

But it wouldnt require DA stalkers to delve into the stealth pool to achieve the same effect every other stalker has in PvP solo.

No, like I mentioned in my post after yours, it requires the loss of 3 minute uberness.

Melee:
I see most of the utility powers eating it with exception to ToF.
Shadow Maul was already mentioned as probably not making the cut.

Armor:
DS, OG, CoF, DR I can't see them making the cut. Giving DA the ability to stack Stealth+Hide within the set wouldn't be fair to any of the other secondaries... with the exception that DA will probably remain RES based (and Stalkers are better off as DEF based).

I'd be willing to bet that they leave in Soul Transfer.

Not that I care one way or the other really, but so what if /DA stalkers would be able to grab another stealth power out of their secondary?

It wouldn't stack with stealth from the concealment pool (so no added stealth.

All it would do, would be to allow Stalkers to grab another stealth power without going into the power pools.

Doesn't sound unfair to me for many reasons.

1) It's not like you HAVE to make use of all 4 power pools, and lately I don't see everyone grabbing 4 powerpools anyways.

2) Looking at number 1, Stealth from the concealment pool comes sooner and doesn't require another power to grab it. So the other stalker secondaries aren't really get shafted at all.

3) If DA did get CoD in it, you can always think of it this way...SOUL TRANSFER! While I like Self-Rez's, it sure isn't Elude/Overload/Unstoppable/Kuji-In Retsu/Granite/MoG (though some might argue how good this power is) in greatness. Something Fire/Ice/Dark ATs know all to well. Not only that, you HAVE to have a target to use it. Talk about weak in comparison.

So yeah, it'd be like this...

Player 1) No fair. You don't need to sacrifce a power pool to stack stealth.

Player 2) I know...instead I have to sacrifice a three minute god-mode for it.

Seems fair to me.

According to hero planner...going 4 toggle/2 passive is .1% less than going 3 toggle/3 passive.

So, while 3/3 is better it would really be unnoticable.

My only complaint about Ballista-1 is the unable to go to hospital part of the mish. At least teleport us back to the beginning of the map.

I'm just curious, but how many people aren't bothered by the sounds? Because they never bother me, and I play with the sound on (really, it's the only way I can play any game).

Extreme Prejudice - Dark Melee/Fire Aura.

It fit the demon concept and had a self-rez. I was going to go DM/EA, and did for 8 levels on live, but deleted him. Defense based sets don't bother me, but Fire's RotP and BA made me want to go /Fire.
