Excellent guide but I'm curious as to how to tweak the build to be more PvP viable. I sent a PM to several forum goers regarding this so I apologize for the redundancy but, I have some questions regarding a SS/DA PvE/PvP build.

A lot of the information from the aforementioned guide is very valuable but I'm wanting to PvP with my Brute, something the guide explicitly says it's not for.

So, I was hoping someone could offer some insight on power selection and slotting for PvP with a SS/DA Brute. Specifically right now I'd like to know:

1. What attack chain/power selection should I come up with from SS and pools?

2. What should the slotting be for attack powers? (Will the +ToHit from Rage be good enough to slot Acc minimally?)

3. Will I need acrobatics or can I get by on IO's? (Remember, I'm going for something PvE/PvP capable)

4. What works better in PvP, Cloak of Fear or Oppressive Gloom? (I've heard that OG is superior to CoF.)

5. Is Cloak of Shadows worth picking up or can I substitute it with IO sets?

Thank you for taking the time to read this as I know these are a lot of questions but building a proper SS/DA seems to take a bit of planning. Thanks again!

Anyone out there have a updated I9 IO-set AR/Nrg build? It's sad to see that this build gets no love.

This is a piece that I commissioned from the very talented Juggy. This guy was extremely laid back yet very professional about the whole process and I highly recommend him to anyone. I'm really happy with the way she turned out.

Looking for a assassin/ninja themed VG. I located the Clan of the Crimson Lotus in the Vg registry but alas, no contact info. Please, if anyone could help I'd appreciate it greatly. My in-game global is @darkhearted.

Just wanted to let everyone know that, after a few month hiatus, I've been able to play a lot more often. Consequently, after I8 hits, I'll be providing a very necessary revision and update for this guide

Oh yeah...soon after I8 hits your gonna work on revising this fantabulous guide? That's good news...(checks calendar on the wall.)

Desperately seeking a ninja/assasin themed RP Vg that is active. I've inquired and researched others but have had no luck as of yet. I'm assuming there are a whole slew of these ninja type groups out there but I just can't seem to find them. Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be HUGELY appreciated. Thanks!

Just wanted to bump this spectacular guide and send the word to Mystic to step it up with the I7 guide already, I8 is just around the corner!

Honestly though, I'm following the newest guide and, while the I'm only lvl 5, I have a few questions concerning playstyle.

First off, I'm in love with the Leaping pool as a travel power and am wondering how holding back hasten effects the build?
Also, has the strategy and usefullnes of Short Circuit been leveled out or is it still problematic?
It seems like Mystic is a big fan of it and I can see how coupled with Power Sink it could still pack an End sucking punch.

Thanks again for this build, I think this is a pretty damn stylish toon and that's what I look for lately it seems. When I can pair strong game mechanics with a very visually pleasing toon, I'm one happy SOB.

A lot of the MM guides seem to be down. Just wanting to point that out.
