Clouded

I have two words for the parents of the OP.

Summer Camp.

So, what did this thread deduce? DarkTyger is trash or is that the OP or both? I'm confused.

I like pie, and ribs but not together that would be silly. But ketchup, mustard, peanut butter and jelly...oh boy!

SMASH is srs bsns.

If it were me, I'd slot for damage over end mod. The -endurance can be handy but most mobs will die before you remove all their endurance (and removing most endurance doesn't. if they have endurance, they can still attack).

I would frankenslot for damage/acc/end reducation and maybe a proc or two if you can manager. With DM as your primary, more AoE damage is a welcomed sight.

I think it's hilarious you think of yourself as a rodeo clown.

Meh, it's Talen. Once you realize he only posts so he can read his own posts, then it makes better sense.

Noob question, but with Fury, how useful is BU on a Brute (for PvE)? I mean, I guess there's never such a thing as too much damage, but if your build is squeezed for slots, would BU be one of the first powers to be cut?

I say take it and see how it works with your playstyle. Alot of the time it depends on your primary, etc. And if you are concerned with slots, just leave the default slot and toss a recharge reduction in there.

Sometimes getting a larger perspective helps make the decision or comparison easier. If you post a proposed build, then we might be able to see your dilemma and give more detailed advice. You don't have to include IOs, etc, but maybe a rundown of your power picks.

Comming?

Meh, I am less than excited. I like the colors as they are... And if other players' costumes are any indication, PC will be an eye-sore.

I bet you're hte kind of person that gets a "Buy One, Get One Free" deal and says, "What? I only get one?"

but...but...but scrappers and brutes can do it!!!

Rage would still have a toggle cost, but ya...those fixes would make the set more overpowered unless SS was completely revamped WITH Rage.

Pffft, the rez is better the RttC in PvP. At least you get some from the rez, RttC hands out a wonderful -3.5% tohit...LOOK OUT!

lol @ rezzes in PvP.

Do you normally "lol @" +100% recharge, +28% damage and +21% tohit for 90s?

If you are serious about your suggestion then you should give it more thought. Then make a post about the suggestion that states your desired goal and outline the revisions with facts and stats to support the change.

Basing the suggestion of opinion and personal want will not get very far around here...I'm sure you know that by now.

Unfortunately, your idea would just make Tanks a better farming AT.

Max survivability and King of AoE Melee is a very bad idea. Unless, by King of AoE Melee, you just mean that hit alot of critters for anemic damage.

On my SS/WP I built for +HP and then slotted for max damage. I have a seamless attack chain right now and wasn't worried about getting more recharge. I use Gloom from GW's PP to fill the gaps I had prior to level 41.

But has a Mace/ Brute, using Gloom would cause re-draw and that might be an issue for some. In other words, you might be able to build for +recharge/+HP to get a better attack chain without resorting to Pool attacks, and for a weapon set, I think that's a good goal.

To Tonal,

If you use Mid's take alook at building for +HP over +regen. While regen is nice for /WP, additional HP would increase your regen and survivability better. And most IO sets that offer a +HP bonus will offer a +regen component as well.

Just food for thought.

Perhaps you shouldn't read posts if you don't want to deal with a little negativity. Or should we all be happy-happy joy-joy over things we dislike?

What re you talking about? Perhaps you should go back and figure out why I responded to him and then try again. Right now, you're looking foolish since I'm not the one who decided negativity was a problem. I just find it ironic he QQs about me disgreeing with Claws but has been negative about I15, etc.


[ QUOTE ]

Also: I'd rather have a high level SS or SM brute than a Fire brute. The issues with resistance are absurdly over-exaggerated.

[/ QUOTE ]

All I said was another highly resisted damage type is not something I want to play.

Then whats-his-face decided to reply to me and decided to derail the thread. I merely stated I thought claws was a lame port. To each their own.

[ QUOTE ]
...and along comes Clouded once again, like clockwork, to bring negativity to the land and start pointless arguments, only to bicker back and forth for many, many posts and derail yet another thread is his endless tirade of forum absurdity.

[/ QUOTE ]

Perhaps you shouldn't post on public forums if disagreeing with you gets your feelings hurt. Not everyone likes Claws and pointing out the highly resisted damage type is not off topic. It's very much relevant and a point of discussion.

And you gotta be the biggest hypocrit I know, did you even read your own posts in the I15 Beta forums? 90% Negative.

All you seem to do lately is whine about COH.

You must be something very wrong on your Fire Melee Brute or you're lying.

SM has very high DPS, in a vaccuum (i hate spelling that word), but in real game play...the damage type makes the set lag behind Fire and Energy when fighting most enemy types, and especially EBs/AVs.

Now before you distort my comments, I'm didn't say SM was poor DPS when in fact it's probably the highest (if your endurance can handle it), but it's the DAMAGE TYPE that I dislike.

I've taken my SS/, EM/ and FM/ Brutes against many of the same AVs and my conclusion is FM is probably the best choice (maybe tied or just behind DM) for soloing AVs due to the damage type.

Man, give me coffee and I ramble ramble ramble...

You just like to throw out phrases?

I didn't say smashing was more resisted then lethal. I said "highly resisted damage type." You know Smashing is the SECOND most resisted damage type in the game.

And if you think it doesn't make a difference then you need to play a Fire Melee Brute at high levels.

I find it a waste of resources and time. My opinion.

I didn't say "lethal damage type." I said another highly resisted, so if you want to nitpick then you should include SuperStrength, Stone Melee, Mace, etc.

You done now?

I'd rather get nothing and wait for something totally new then get a claws powerset ported over.

Oh boy another highly resisted damage type, great idea!

[ QUOTE ]
It could be worse. You could have been playing an EM/EA Brute, left for a while, and then come back to discover that your ability to bust out a staggering amount of ST damage in a very short time has been horribly nerfed, with no gains in the AoE department to compensate.

[/ QUOTE ]

Brute Energy Melee is still a top contender in ST damage, but you are right about the lolaoe.

[ QUOTE ]

And HC would always play second fiddle to Fault due to having a 50% longer recharge, costing more endurance, and being a cone versus a true AOE.

[/ QUOTE ]

You sure it's a cone? I took the info from CoD that lists the power as an AoE, 15 foot radius. I'm not home so I cannot get the power ingame.

Doesn't anyone think they shoud reduce the current recharge and end cost of HC?

Reducing the KB to KD would be wonderful but a very doubtful fix.

I'm trying to get a real fix done, and that involves the ridiculous 30s recharge and 13 endurance usage.

For the record ,everything I predicted when these changes were in the speculation stage has come to fruition. Isn't my problem you arent astute enough to recognize that FACT.

This was sent ot me in a PM, but now I'm ignored (yay me!) so I could not respond. Instead, I wanted to post it so everyone here could get a nice chuckle.
