You need QS to fill the gap in the attack chain. I agree that it is not ideal to lose QS. If you're ok with a slightly lower DPS attack chain, you can try CS-SB-FB-SB-BB. It is a smooth chain with the recharge that you have. If you have focused burst in your current build, you can give it a try to see how it feels like.

Good idea. Actually, the idea is ok regardless of the cottage rule phenomenon.

I think cottage rule is just a rough guideline for players, and not meant to be a rigid rule. If a change is really necessary and can't done without significant change, then cottage rule does not apply. Most people do not justify their suggestions that their proposals are necessary and can't be done otherwise (to be fair, such justification is difficult in general). This makes it convenient for other people to jranger easily.

I feel that cottage rule is just a convenient excuse when people don't like a suggestion. It is not necessary that the real reason behind the objection is the cottage rule. Most of the time, I think there is a point when people say no to suggestions, but maybe the cottage rule is used too often.

When the energy aura thread was still a sticky in the brute forum, buffing the toggles was one of the suggestions. My overall comment on energy aura is that the toggles and passives are just standard, but the unique features (stealth and endurance management) are not appealing enough to players. One way is to improve the unique features mainly. Another way is to make the toggles and passives superior such that players can feel ok with the so-so unique features. However, I tend to agree with you that the toggles and passives by themselves are probably ok.

I think the main weakness of EA is psionic. If you consider energy as "positive" energy, then negative energy should be another weakness of EA. Apparently, the design is to make EA more effective against elemental compared to physical attacks.


Going back to the suggestions made by KoolKat5.

I agree that your revamped energy aura would become a respective force for soloing and teaming.

I don't have specific comments on your suggestions. Overall, they should be quite appealing to players. As players, we love to have multiple layers of mitigation including defense, resistance, hp, and regeneration. Basically, we love well-rounded power set that can survive situations when everyone else faceplant. However, this is also probably something the dev try not to make. Ideally, every power set should be unique and play differently, and has its weakness such that the character needs the help of others at some point.

Fire melee is not particularly endurance heavy, so the combo is ok. There are many +recovery and +max end from IO set bonus, accolades, and the energy mastery power pool. Slotting theft of essence: chance for +end into dark regeneration should help a lot too.

It would be nice to grab an extra aoe from the ancillary or patron power pools. I think it's a bit difficult right now since you're picking maneuvers for extra defense. Maybe you can wait till fitness becoming inherent. For your build, I made some modifications. You can compare and see what I have changed.

You posted 3 IO builds. I'll comment on the last two. It is possible to soft cap defense without using pvp IOs. It's ok to use them. However, I would expect a really high-end build which does more than just soft-capping defense. I would avoid using too many obliteration and eradication IO sets in a build without efficient endurance management. Both IO sets don't offer much endurance reduction, so your character runs out of endurance easily. Lastly, reactive armor is not very efficient for raising positional defense. I would use Aegis instead. For your last build, there are several places where the "rule of 5" is violated in case you're not aware of it.

Below, I re-slotted your build. Feel free to modify it to suit your needs.

It's ok. There were many threads regarding knockbacks. In short, there isn't anything wrong with knockback. It is a playstyle that the whole team needs to work together. As such, it is not a popular playstyle. Usually, there are a lot of arguing in knockback suggestion threads because there are ways to imitate the effect of knockdown using knockback powers under existing game mechanics. In addition, it is unclear what would happen to this legitimate playstyle if players were given a choice between knockback and knockdown. Some people don't want such a fun playstyle to go extinct.

There are usually not many constructive posts in knockback suggestion threads because people don't agree with the motivation to start with. While you think that knockdown needs fixing, and start making suggestions hoping that there can be fruitful discussions about the suggestions, some people don't think that knockdown has a problem to begin with. As time goes by with many such threads popping up, those people get sick and just say no without explanation.

I think the idea is ok. Sounds funny that if I want to switch between kb and kd, I need to change my costumes.

There was a recent suggestion called charge-up. The interesting thing about the idea is that it is a real-time control between kb and kd by pushing buttons differently. This way, you don't need to change builds or costumes to switch between kb and kd. Changing builds can't be done during combat as well. My own idea is to click a power for kb, but shift-click the power for kd, for example.

I think this depends on real game play. If you solo a lot against x8 spawns, the endurance drain is actually quite effective and lightning field can help to keep mobs' endurance low. If you team a lot, then the endurance drain should not matter most of the time. If the drain is not useful, feel free to move the slots elsewhere.

Feel free to modify the build according to your needs. It's just a suggestion. For my ELA brute, the endurance usage is very heavy. There are no problems since power sink is very powerful. However, I think it is better if I don't need to watch my endurance bar that much, and use power sink so frequently. I don't think this is something that can be decided on paper. If you find that you're fine without any endurance reduction in lightning field in real game play, you can use the obliteration IO set as in the first post.

Not a bad idea. From my experience, I always use both bubbles. I never consider if using just 1 of the bubbles is enough. I think the implementation would take some thought. It would be simple if we could have a macro to execute the two powers consecutively.

This idea was suggested in this thread. I would love the aoe buffing. There are quite a few issues regarding its implementation though. Mainly, they are about the range and the endurance cost. If the range is short, the buffer will tend to ask the team to gather every 4 minutes, which is quite annoying to the team. If the bubbles could be applied regardless of range, it would be ideal.

The endurance cost can be problematic as well. This thread is actually motivated by masterminds with forcefield, as it is very tedious to buff the whole team and their own pets. Bubbling 7 team mates and all the pets in 1 shot (or 2, if the team mates and pets are done separately) probably takes a lot of endurance.

This is also mentioned in this thread. I think it's a viable option. However, I'm not a big fan of this suggestion. The motive of the thread is to make bubbling less tedious, and not about making the bubbles better in terms of performance. I'm not sure that I would use slots to make the bubble last longer. I bet different people look at it differently. From this thread, some people consider the suggestion from a balance point of view, so longer duration would mean a nerf or players should invest more slots.

The build is ok overall. There are a few places that can be improved. Most are just minor changes. I would slot knockout blow for higher recharge instead of over-slotting it for damage. Energize is very over-slotted with heal as well. I think 5 slots are enough. While obliteration is nice, I would slot lightning field with more endurance reduction, and end drain. I would use reactive armor to slot the resistance toggles instead of Aegis. I'm ok using powers as set mule, but I would try my best to minimize such slotting, for example gloom and dark obliteration.

I modified your build slightly below. It has similar s/l defense and recharge.

It's just a different way to group the powers. The current grouping is based on the idea that fear is a more powerful effect than taunt. Your suggestion is to group the single target powers as tier 1, and aoe powers as top tier. In my opinion, both groupings are logical.

You can use the same logic and say that with the fitness becoming inherent, there should be room to take taunt before fear.

For your build, the main thing is to take active defense at level 10 when it is first available, instead of level 28. And make sure that it recharges fast enough that it won't drop. I'm not sure if your build is actually an IO build but temporarily slotted with SO, or it is intended to be an SO build. If it is an SO build, I re-slotted yours below. You probably need to re-spec for an IO build. I would take one with the shield if you have problems as you described.

Actually, most melee characters are not really that tough out of the box. Try various tricks like pulling. I don't know what power sets that your team mates have. If they have buffs and debuffs, they need to take them and use them instead of being selfish villains.

The endurance is probably ok if you take into account that stamina becoming inherent later. In addition, you can acquire accolades to enhance max end. The s/l defense and recharge are nice. My comment is that you focus too much on these numbers on paper. Your attacks are mostly under-slotted, and some powers are slotted in a weird way.

Your proposed build costs much more than 100 M. However, IO sets are something for players to work on after getting to level 50 to further improve their characters. So, you don't need to make a build that you can afford right now, but a build that you think you can attain within a reasonable amount of your playtime.

Willpower by itself doesn't really need recharge. So, recharge is basically for higher dps. If you want both capped s/l defense and perma-hasten, I afraid that you need an even more expensive setup.

Usually, there are more replies on topics that are fun discussions or just to express a casual comment. Analyzing and modifying other people's build take more time and thought. And you know, this is completely voluntary.

I made some changes below. Basically, I move some slots around such that your powers are slotted well. I keep your s/l defense soft-capped. The resultant global recharge is slightly lower. I think it's better to use purples and pvp IO to further improve your build instead of slotting your powers in a sub-optimal way to achieve your goal.

I think you can take ET for an attack chain with higher dps. And you probably need higher recharge.

Yeah. I believe you probably won't use conserve power much either.

I modifed your build below. Mainly, your attacks can be slotted better. Your build needs more recharge. Since you're ok with LotG, I think you can simply use LotG to slot your toggles instead of Red Fortune. With soft-capped defense, you may not rely too much on the defense from overload. I would slot it with heals. My build ends up having too many hit point bonus, which I think is not too big a deal. Also, it seems like some of your level 1 fitness powers are lost after editing.
