Ok maybe this has been around for a while but I have never noticed it before. I got this message while taking out CoT. forced to hit by streakerbreaker. It was an auto hit, no roll. Is that new that mobs are getting this or have just been missing it??

The low acc of kin combat set acc is weak but I normally go with lower acc in my attack sets just because of all the bonus to acc you get with power sets. Purples are 15 and positrons are +9. If I am not hitting at 95 percent consistantly with all my attacks then I toss in a Kismets +6 to hit in def power. This makes you base to hit 81 so with a min amount of acc you hit the 95 chance to hit the vast majority of the time.

I 4 slotted boxing for Kinetic Combats and often use it as auto attack for fury building. Then I switch auto attack to punch once fury is built up.

Em has been the top perform for a while in Pvp.

Man, ay got to read the Hulk comics. The Hulk is always doing the right thing. Saving the kid from the burning buildings. Fighting off the monster who about to eat the family. Shattering the Massive astroid heading toward earth and just wanting to be left alone. Banner the Hero... Man Banner the guy always putting Hulk in the messed up positions that he has to get them out of. Oyea banner says I would love to help out shield or whatever and then Opps ya made me mad. Banner the hero. Lol

You can buy IO recipe for Intangibility. It is a Click not a toggle. Lasts 30 seconds and gives you 10 charges per recipe. I wish they would make the Concealment power pool like this as a click not a toggle. Get the Intangibility recipe power. When light form starts blinking and your in the middle of battle. Click it. Take the 30 secs to recover.

I have 50 wp brute and 50 Invul brute. I have over a bill in both. When it comes to farming I preffer my Invul brute. Takes alot less damage and almost impossibile to kill on a farm. My Wp can pull off the same thing its just not as effortlessly. My elec I have not played much, just never got into him, been thinking of Deleting him and remaking him as a Wm/elec for a change of pace.

Well I have both a Willpower and Invul at level 50 both with over a Billion invested. My Invul is tougher 90 percent of the time. Both have Capped Def but my resists are over all better on my Invul, considerably high Hp. The Regen on my Wp is better but he needs it because he takes more damage. And if you have to tank Agro is WAY better on my invul. My Wp cant even compare there.

Nice. Is that 79.68 just with IO's or are you adding in Day job and Vet Pet?

I dont believe in the purple problem. AE is pumping ALOT of infamy into the game right now. I can make 5x the amount of infamy in AE then I could before. And doing the buy low, sell high it is just obsence how much infamy one can amass. So purples are just going for more. Honestly if Purple ran about 30-50 mil and now we are earning 3-5x the infamy..90mil to 250 mil seems balanced with the inflations.

Ok, well heres the deal. A stone toggles Granite on, hes got all the protection he needs. Now he is slow as hell and deal a 30 percent less damage. Now a Stoner can spend a ton of infamy and greatly mitigate those down sides to granite with IO sets. The rest of us brutes are in the opposite boat. We can build up our protection with IO sets to the point were you can "tank" anything in the game easily. In the end game both are going to be great. However if you going to try to compare Stoner granite protection base to any of the other bases well your going to fall short. Simply dont.
Go with what feels right to you. If wanted to start a Wm/Sd and that idea puts a smile on your face. Well there you go. It can be a potent combo. With the right IO sets, It can Dish it out and take it. -
Do keep in mind the patron Ae target ae hits 16 vs 10 on you mace attacks. Helps keep aggro on more mobs plus nice damage.

Ya know I have always thought it funny that the Brute class was based on the HULK. A Hero.

Tossing in my two Cents. Em is pretty wickid in PvP and does show up most of the other sets. For PvE and untility it is under perfroming. Advocates of any power sent are going to pull for improvements. "Fire has no Mitigation so it should have the highest dps" there are alot complaints when comparing sets. But it is the Diffences in the sets that make them cool. Energy gets 2 extreme damage attacks and one of the those is higher damage then any other extreme damage. Thats why you take the Set, if you think another set completely out shines it....well take it but ya didnt because you want that wickid hits.

Yea, Invincibility and Tough Hide does not give anything to melee, ranged and AoE. Really makes it tough for invul to go with the positional. Its the reason why I went for the Typed Def. It stacks nicely. So with invul you can get 25-35 resistance to Fire/cold/Neg/Eng/Toxic w/ really nice typed defence to boot. Defensive with 1 mob engaged is 45.45 l/s, 42.32 Fire/cold and 31.70 neg/eng. With Invul Saturated and Soul Mastery debuff is a over kill but hey.
Nice thing about going with high positional is you get that against psi. I rely on the positional and darkest night for Psi and they are trival.

Well honestly nice to see some many Tanker running to the defence of the Gauntlet power. I stand corrected. Always seemed kind of weak to me but then the Tankers I like Fire Arua and my Currunt Fav is my level 50 Dm/Fa. With all the AEs agros just so Easy and Blazing aura owns. Healing greats. So if the majority generally happy with it. Sounds good to me.

Lol, Masterminds are a fine At. I love my Dark/necro but if ya think they are the most powerful At out there bar none. Please see Silverado Post on Corruptor boards labled soloing multi AV at onces.

Very nice Belata Cardas. I went a slightly differnet way with my Ss/invul brute. Hit 5 kinetic combats and 5 sets of 3 Ageis.
I pull down
71.74 resist lethal/smashing
Def S/L 38.56( not including Invic)
Fire/cold=35.43 " "
neg/erg 24.81 " "
psi 13.92( clearly range,melle, aoe is better)
Ranged 18.29, melee 23.29, aoe 2173.

I also grabed Soul master for gloom, Dark Oblit and darkest night. -
Love to see claw on brutes, but sadly I think the Devs dug in and decide that us Smasher would never see em. I think they did the same thing with with scrappers and SS. Kind of a shame. Would love to play a Claw Brute. : (

I was reading one many post speaking of how poor guantlet is. It is a completely unexciting inherant power. I was thinking of cool Inherant power for tankers that would suit the class. I kept thinking of the guy punching Superman and breaking his fist.
In that spirit I thought perhaps a Steelskin or harding skin Inherant. Steelskin Idea would reflect 5 percent damage back on from any melee atack.
Or
Harding Skin would start at 1 percent and the more hits the tanker took the higher the percentage of damage reflected would get up to a cap of perhaps 10 percent.
The number seem some what small but if you look at AEing the damage would be significant and would be in the spirit of the Tanker.
I always love reading other ideas, so if ya got one please but try to keep it in the spirit of the class.

Slot it with 3 hammies- Peroxisome Exposures. This gives you 95 duration on both the hold and immbilize. double bang for you buck. Then stick in two Rechares IOs, Finally one Dark Watchers slow. I find this to be a debilatating combo.
Dark servant has a Huge to hit bosus, so dont worry about that. Hes capped. -
I always thought Tankers should get a Harden Skin Inherent power. The more hits they take the High Def they get, clearly with a capp of some sort or perhaps it would just balance itself out when mobs started missing a ton it would kind of find its own balance.
