I like to pick up the Ethereal Shift Temp Power to avoid my Tier 9 crashes. I offer the same advice to all of you. You won't have to waste Demonic and it gives you time to prepare for the remaining mob. Just remember the cast time is kinda long so activate the power before you actually crash. From my experience, once I see my Tier 9 first blink I typically wait 2-5 seconds (so I can smash more) then cue the power.
On the topic at hand, if I'm using Common IOs then I usually take Tier 9s in normal level progression and might slot it with 2-3 recharge. However, if I'm diving into a max IO build then I MIGHT take the Tier 9 at level 49 or I will just ignore the power completely. -
I'd like to see Martial Arts and Broadsword become Brute Primaries. For secondaries, Regen would be nice to have as well, but I don't care for ice armor (so tired of building defense).

Just out of curiosity, would Kheldians be unlocked for me if I once had a lvl 35 scrapper but deleted him, and currently have no heroes over 20? -
I like Fire_Minded. The boards need a few more characters like him.
I can feel the negative rep coming! -
Many Elves Hypothesis?

I'm pretty stoked about this issue but I'm not sure I'll be around to play it come April-ish.

Wow, you must have the patience of a saint to level up a petless MM or, at the very least, more patience than me.
Was there any point during the experiment where you nearly deleted the character? -

Interesting.
New info about GR makes you login to play the game even though nothing has changed yet?
Interesting.

You really need to include a tl;dr version for your posts. :P

i dont let brutes without taunt into my SFs, TFs or PVP teams.
you really have to be a mentally damaged to skip out on it unless you have a lolRP build. -

This brings up a very interesting question. I haven't played blue side much but from what I've heard from several players (in-game and on here) is that blue side teams are generally more slow paced. Brute (and perhaps even non-perma Dom) players on the other hand definitely fit the mold of rushers. Logically, sitting on your rear end is counter productive when it comes to maintaining or taking advantage of your fury/dom goodness. When Going Rogue comes out, I think we might see some rather interesting culture clashes. Just a thought.
While a brute benefits from a fast paced enviorment they also benefit from being an aggro sponge. So even if the team isn't all that fast, just being the first in the group or being able to hold the aggro will generate sufficient fury.
Lastly, brutes, scrappers and tanks are already teaming together in RWZ and Cimerora. Having been on many teams in both settings while on my brutes, I can tell you my Fury bar is still 80-90%. -
If you are stuck to hero-side then I second Uber's suggestion for a SR scrapper (with IOs).

Meh, who farms tech anyways?
Well, I do on my SS/WP Brute when the mood strikes me (one of the liberate TV missions). -
I'm totally unMUtivated to do any work today. Instead I'll watch MUlin Rouge?

It would be cool if we purple sellers had control over who we sold our stuff to.
I wouldn't sell anything to whinebags on the forums, constantly knocking my playstyle.

I mean this thread is doomed.
It will just start the NORMAL arguement between the IWANTITNAO people and the people who are like, then pay the IWANTITNAO price.
You of all people shouldn't be trying to dictate the posting habits of another. -
I tend to adjust the difficulty per character. For instance, high AoE characters might get a bump for number of players I'm equal to whereas ST characters will get a bump for level of the enemies I fight.
For instance, my Elec/Stone Tank runs at +0/x2 since he's durable and can dispatch +0 quickly. My Elec/Elec blaster runs at -1/x4 since he has more AoE. -
How long did the SF take you?
How long did the CoH arc take you? -

More than any other AT, a Brute needs to never run low on endurance, and needs to keep going. Willpower's 2 potential endurance recovery powers put it head and shoulders above most other sets; only Electricity and maybe Fire come close, and they don't offer as much survivability IMO.
1. EA is great for endurance as well
2. IOs make endurance a moot point. I know they are "optional."
Willpower is a great set but I find SR to be more survivable. My prespective is based on late game and a heavily IOed build (uniques, no purples). I think you would like a Fire/SR Brute since Fire is light on endurance and SR is a beast when outfitted with IOs. I sit at 48% to all positions without weave and I endurance is a non-issue for me. -
ELM/DA - Clouded Electron - first brute to 50. Liked the concept, but shelved for some time now.
EM/ELA - Pillar of Force - second brute to 50. Was my favorite for a bit and first AV soloer but shelved for some time now.
SS/INV - Power Absolute - first brute ever made, been stuck in the 30s for many years now. Poor guy has been passed over so many times.
SS/WP - Matt the Body - another 50. One of my favorites for concept and abilities.
Fire/SR - Kevin Dragos - 50, and my overall favorite
DM/ELA - Doom Goon - 20ish, kinda forgot about this guy
Claws/INV - Iron Puma - 38, pretty fun so far and my current main for brutes
SS/EA - King of the Jungle - 22, I should just delete this one.
Fire/Fire - 16, can't remember his name for the life of me. -
Quote:I think 20 is the perfect number and your post shows why. 20 is a nice level most players can obtain their first time through. It's relatively low and doesn't take too long to obtain. Conversely, VEATs and HEATs do require a little bit more experience since they can play differently then their counterparts. So having them unlock at level 1 would probably be a poor way to introduce a player to this AT.Originally Posted by Oddballica
I'd hardly say I'm getting hung up on it. 30 is less silly because...it's 10 levels further in? It takes a little more work?
However, level 30 requires more work and first-timers (remember, this is for folks who haven't unlocked a HEAT or VEAT), 30 might not be seen for a few toons. It takes a few rolls to find your playstyle.
Lastly, I think level 20 was chosen to help unlock VEATs for a lot of hero players. I know many people in my SG that PLed a villain to 50 just to be able to play a VEAT. These same people got bored with villains in the mid 20s range.
p.s. If you like...you can ignore the "You have unlocked Epic ATs" message at 20 and proceed to level until 30.

Quote:Why is level 30 less silly than level 20?Originally Posted by Oddballica
It just seems a really silly level to put it at. If it's unlockable make it a level that you have to work a bit to get to (Even 30), if you want it to be without work just give it from day 1.
And does it really matter? Does it really bother you that anyone can unlock VEATs and HEATs 10 levels earlier than your precious suggestion (lvl 30).
This is a really silly thing to get hung-up on IMO. -
I told my wife about the doppleganger notion and she said...
"Great. That's what I wanted to hear...that you'll be playing with yourself even MORE!"

This is fantastic news!
I'm surprise Perfect Pain hasn't posted yet...oh wait, there's not a whole lot to complain about since we've gotten an update. :P
I'm 67% joking, 10% serious and 99% drunk.
