Will see you and everyone tonite. Muir is now lv48-Sonic/Pain Corr.

@NJCASH

I can say that with 3 click heals (2x Human <1 being a Dull Pain clone> and 1x Dwarf), a 25 second recharging phase power in Quantum Flight and 2x 140ft Nova blasts slotted with multiple Proc IOs...I really enjoy my PB for PvP & PvE.

Go figure
Thanks for the info.

That makes a lot of sense; thx for your fast response.

Is it worth putting into a power like Knockout Blow for a Brute thats up every 10 secs as opposed to only slotting it into fast recharging powers?

Quick question for the gurus...
For some reason, I can't get the (Enh)10% Resistance(All) bonus to show up in my toon's build in Mids (Fire/SS Brute - Mu Mastery Ancillary, Summon Striker). I was expecting to see +10% to all my resistances when I hit 'View Totals'. All the other bonus stats are displayed properly...am I doing something wrong?

/WP is good for Beginners but it is the worst for PvP. So I woundn't look into that.

If you want to stay away for AoE? then Spines is no good too.

Any other combo will do just fine for 99% of play.

Never really made it past the 20s with a Scrappper. Why is WP so bad in PvP?

Sorry...I meant to say, "Listen to AlienOne AND Solient and you won't go wrong."

Some good advice from everyone. I do use the heal in Dwarf also though. If you can get your resistances up...you can use your heal and survive unless catching damage spikes from large group.

bummer, I thought the switch and heal in Dwarf form would be awesome life saver if needed

Actually, you are right. However you, need to learn when and how to use the switches to maximize their effectiveness. I would never recommend skipping Dwarf form. The heal recharges very quickly and provides another level of survivability. In fact, it can be used in aerial combat if you set up binds/macros correctly to drop the form and activate the appropriate travel power.

Like many have said, I'd focus my build on the single-target Nova attacks and heals. Go for +rech and +acc in your bonuses and you'll be hitting everything.

Listen to Soilent and you won't go wrong. I based my PB off of his forum advice and do decent in PvP with it. Human form to find who you want to fight, switch to Nova and shoot em up. Fly away and use all 3 heals if needed. Rinse, repeat and have fun.

You may get webbed a lot and if Quantum Flight isn't up (got mine down to a 25second recharge on phase), then build up your resistances in Dwarf and suck it up til you can TP away, heal and fly again.

Mr E and crew...
SG called a TF and I'm going to run the LGTF with them (915pm). Not sure if I'll be done b4 1030; just wanted to give you heads up man.

Im game E...
Muir - lv45 sonic/pain corr

Thanks for organizing the great runs E; Inducto did a good job as fearless leader with team 2.
My connection bonked out at AE mission 3 of 4...but had fun regardless.

Im game E...
Transcendent lv50 PB

Even though I showed up for the last TF run, as soon as we started it up...I was out. Was in a hotel for the holiday weekend and the internet was fail by the 2nd mish. Anyways, I'm home and game for this one...
Transcendent Shadow - lv50 PB

Thx Luna and will see you all tonight.
@NJCASH

MR E,
I will bring my Corr if you can use it - Muir lv45 Sonic/Pain.

@NJCASH

Thats pretty hilarious...both that he would send u tells and also that you would spend days following him around

Always good to talk to a pro and get their opinion. So let me ask you, in spirit of the post...should someone playing skillful with a Brute be dying as fast as a Dom or Corr?

Mr E and crew...
Just got the word that my brother is flying into Newark tonite at 9pm instead of 530pm. If Im not at LG at 11, then I havent made back from the airport yet. Put someone else into my spot and Ill play standby role

Hey Super

So 2 things...
1) If someone has a purpled build, theyre no good and dont have skills? If you choose to PvP with SOs...cool. I stopped buying those (even for PvE) a few issues back.
2) The Koreans were in zone yesterday and it was like 3 to 1 odds in the Heroes favor (per the usual). They were fighting close to their base, but I would too if it was 8v1. No TPing or Phase...just fighting it out and they did good considering the odds.

Just b/c you don't like someone, doesn't mean they suck. I still think they're pretty wack for the old "TP into a tower or geometry trap" tricks...but eh. This sounds a little like the opening chats we had about Darth. The difference is the Koreans are fighting with temp powers...I'll take that anyday over someone running to the base every 5 minutes and using the triple stacked Vengeance exploit. Not trying to bring up old stuff...but just saying

Anyways, you don't have to take my word for anything reference this issue. When you get some time, log into Freedom (I forget the names of the ones on Virtue) and step into SC. I can think of a few Brutes that run circles around 3-5 heroes all day and don't die much:
66Demon66-ss/fire
Zylo-ss/wp
Twoshot-ss/fire
Blazing Knuckles-ss-fire

A couple of them use some cheesy tactics and TP ppl into places they cant get out of for the kill and probably pop accolades/inspirations regularly but I'm sure the ppl fighting them pop also (not that its against the rules)...like i said originally, they do well and get kills.

The heroes were trash talking one of the Brutes last night, but he had no support other then a few stalkers milling around and it took 7 ppl to kill him a couple of times over the course of an hour and he was in zone all day doing it up. So yeah...maybe all the heroes playing all the time are complete n00bs and baffoons like you say, but I'm leaning more towards your Brute not being built that well since your making statements like, "I go down just as fast as any toon really".

When a person is running from my Brute it's b/c I have usually gotten their health pretty low. TP Foe them back to get them in range, chase them down with Hurl and KoB and it's usually a done deal.

Nobody "RPvPs" on Virtue. Same PvP as anywhere.

Meh...you can still find ppl RPvPing on Virtue. One night, a group of "soldiers" came into zone and were running around and talking to each other in pseudo military jargon while fighting (they were serious too). Some Army themed SG guys...about 6 of them. And there's more but you get the point...

Been having a blast on my PB more then my other toons currently.

Couple of things:
I didn't see any of the other posters say anything about 1v1 and I have a SS/Fire that does well in SC, not as well as the other 3 that I have seen though (spending most of my money on IOs for my PB and Corr currently).

The #s I said were anything from 3-5 heroes at once...not always 5 high damage spikers all the time (the thread is Brutes VS ranged, not Brutes VS an onslaught of ranged damage spikers). And so what if a Brute uses inspirations/Accolades...doesn't make it weak. I can promise you the ppl ur fighting against are doing the same thing.

Couple of your statements:
"In those cases, I go down just as fast as any toon really." If your SS/Fire goes down as fast as lets say...a Corr/Dom, then it leads me to think your toon isn't upto speed.
and
"I run from their friends for my life haha, there isn't a ton-of-killin to be had Red side like there is Blue Side." Ouch.

All I can say is if this is how your Brute plays, you need to look at improving your build and you shouldn't be giving words of wisdom to ppl about Brutes/PvP. I made a statement towards what I have seen and you replied with calling players ignorant n00bs and baffoons. Maybe you should look at who the n00b really is when giving such terribad and "DOOOOM!" advice in threads.

Take it easy.
