Horusaurus

I second the katana. More potential to it than spines. Although it's still up to you if you prefer crazy mad aoe or a very balanced set.

Cherry-2000: giggles @ extended pleasure

I have a Rad/MM/Ice that's sturdy as all get out as long as what I'm fighting deals mostly lethal and smashing damage. I'm pretty well over the soft cap. I sneakily slide into the middle of the mobs. Drain psyche then go nuts with all my aoe. It's something of beauty and if I feel like it I nuke and don't end crash. Win.

Happy birthday mang! Here's to many more!

Welcome back. *Steals Cobalt's line* We left the light on for you.

>_>

Well as person who mainly plays scrappers I do enjoy my plant/kin quite a bit. Not sure how a plant stormy would turn out. I rolled a earth controller for a while and got frustrated with it and deleted it after it stalled out around level 32ish. Haven't played a stormy to much so I couldn't help you on that part.

Arch/TA would be fine if you don't mind playing a corr and making him heroic when GoRo comes out. If it has to be a blaster then I'd go with Arch/Devices. Would be very thematic.

I softcap my S/L then stealth into a mob for max drain psyche area, build up+aim+drain psyche, then start spamming irradiate and psychic shockwave as fast as I can.

A decent build but I made a few tiny changes without straying to far from your concept. This is how Horus be trippin' it.

Dropped conserve. You won't need it. You have dark consumption. Don't really need to run FA, it's mostly there as a set mule. Should be a very beefy SR. I also frankenslotted Siphon Life with how I run it but feel to switch back to the way you had it. Pretty much my favorite way to run it.

Edit: Gah, had to re-post, I mixed up something. Now it's correct. <_<

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ0fFgU22ls <- This song without a doubt, I won't say what it is, you have to watch and listen.

Personally I'd avoid fly. IIRC your KB protection doesn't function when you're off the ground.

See ya Shay. Have a good one. Hope to see you back.

I find taunt pretty useful on my WP brute. I'll be laying out some baddies and getting annoyed at the few jerks who refuse to get in melee with me. So what do I do? I just whip out around and taunt 'em. Now they have to get in my RttC aura.

To answer said question: Boxing tough.... ugh, now there is a waste. It's funny but I threw in that part about "Could go box/tough but I already" part in there cause I knew I'd get "Go boxing/ tough" Seriously when do people actually USE boxing? It's a completely wasted power. Even more than the ones I picked.

I use mine all the time...as a set mule. I know a few SS brute/tanks who use it in their attack chain but for the most part not many people do but it does make spiffy spot for melee or stun set. I've taken it quite a few times when trying to cap my S/L and then I can go and get tough and weave while I'm at it. So it's like a twofer deal for me.

If you really want to stick with the orc-ish theme then I'd advise a Battle Axe or Mace/WP brute. Best thing I could think of and it'd fit the theme imo.

Captain Midnight, while raiding the Oranbega stumbled upon old magic manuscripts that taught the art of how to manipulate elements and not just any element! The element of fire! Burn it to the ground! Fire Ball is your friend. <_<

Whenever I hear the words spine I just think "Okay, grab a ton of procs for quills and maybe another damage aura if I'm taking fire/dark/elec and whatever aoes I can get...so I basically just hop in Spine Burst->Fire Ball->Hop out->Throw spines->Ripper the nearest strong baddie, most minions and lieus are dead by this point, hop to the next mobs and let my team mates finish off whatever isn't dead."

BS and Kat would both work great with dark armor. Divine/Parry+high res+dark regeneration=Sturdy toon.

Sonic/EM=More DPS and nice debuffs and helpfuls on AVs

Ice/Em=Safer solo due to the holds. Also best nuke in the game.
