If you're looking for a Lackey Hottest and I'm on as Johnny Moronic give me a shout. That goes for anyone else on E.V.I.L. too.

I'm nicer than I appear on these forums. Honest

Will do though not having trouble finding teams which unusual :P I normally end up soloing when playing villains ><

You might be surprised to hear that MMs are better equiped as tanks than Brute, well when they're in bodyguard mode
anyway. The problem is brutes aren't designed to hold aggro so in that team situation you mentioned you should minimise the AoE attacks and focus on single targets and debuffing/healing until the mob are worn down then finish off with your AoEs.

[/ QUOTE ]
How do MMs hold the aggro? You've no taunt to keep them occupied or stop them siccing the Corrupter or Dominator spamming his AOEs.

MMs are decent Alpha Absorbers via bodyguard or Pet Rushes alright but once Damage based aggro starts flying about how do you hold it?

Two Words... Presence Pool?

Ok after looking at some guides and some other stuff I've come up with an IO build, possible to get some import on it? probably the worst one out there

NOt to familiar with these sets, but Im sure other learned people can reply - might help if you gave an indication on how you stand on PvE/PvP spectrum and on the Solo/Team spectrum.

For instance, if not PvP'ing you could pretty much drop acrobatics and get an anti-knockback Invention.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well I kinda want to have the option to PvP but its not something I'm going to do often, also I guess solo? since just going to herd maps so want to beheld to hold the aggro till I can foot stomp them all

I've started up a SS/Fire brute and currently reached 27 my current planed build is below without any slots atm because I was looking for help with how others would go about placing IOs since I've not even started looking into IOs yet and would love to see how others go about doing this and then hopefully I will get the hang of it and start playing about with them

I'm sure this is a newb question but what recipe would I be looking for to protect me for KB on my fire brute? and where would I want to slot it? Not looked into the whole IO slotting yet ¬.¬

[ QUOTE ]
Yes

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks, will attempt this later when I'm teamless

[ QUOTE ]
Its a little risky but I have done this quite a few times, and with the BM being less populated than WW it should be easier.

Look on the AH for a reletively useless enhancement, levels 16, 21, 24 knockback,confuse etc TO, for example. Put it up on the AH for whatever and then buy the enhancement on your toons on defiant.

I have to stress though that it is risky doing this - make sure that the item has no others for sale/bidding otherwise you may just lose your dosh :O

[/ QUOTE ]

So on Union I put up an item that no one is selling or bidding on and then buy it on defiant for however much I want to trade? Do I just put the item up for 1 inf?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
can help out with 17-18mill on Defiant if needed.

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you mean imfamy on defiant or influence on defiant? Because it is reletively easy to do a server imf/inf transfer using the Auction House (that is if you mean imfamy)

[/ QUOTE ]

got 17-18mill infamy on defiant, how may I do this with AH?

Anyone able to help me out with Infamy? am at 22 now and can't afford my SOs can help out with 17-18mill on Defiant if needed.

Toon is Hottest Chick &amp; My Global is @Gun-Nut

Thanks.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Ahh, Just noticed it says it has Knockback &gt;&lt; thought it just stunned.

[/ QUOTE ]
If there's any immobolize powers from the patron power sets such as Scirocco's on your brute, you can combine that with handclap to effectively disorient your opponents without knocking them all over the place.

[/ QUOTE ]

But if they are imob they won't beheld to run from burn anyways ¬.¬ I thought stun would be effective since it would take them longer to escape the burn patch but I don't need the KB :P

Ahh, Just noticed it says it has Knockback &gt;&lt; thought it just stunned.

Good Idea or Bad Idea? Since I've just started up my SS/Fire brute.

I'm new to playing on Union and could use a SG if possible am currently playing Hottest Chick

Just started a brute up on Union and I'm trying to get what accolades I can by level 20 so if anyone can help me out with the mayhem explorations ones that would be much appreciated!

So Far I have:
Atlas
Kings#

Am online most days during the afternoons, can be contacted @Gun-Nut, Thanks in advanced

Well since I've got to leave for my holiday I quickly threw something together &gt;&lt; hope it qualifies!

Front
Side
Back

Be back in a week!

Gratz Icy Jim

If you happen to lose someone send me a tell @Gun-Nut will make sure to be on incase

Assuming there is still room I will be up for it with Energen

Cool Getting lower and lower I see.

Thanks Liz great help along the way hehe I'm sure Swifty can work it out Not leaving for good just for a few months, I'll be back! could never give this game up!
