But here's the thing. You say you only care about the looks, but then how do you deal with all those powersets with graphics attached to them?

Do you not roll ELA, FA, EA? Those options to hide INV, WP, SR, REGEN graphics...yeeeaaah, havent had those options for even half the time those powers were available.

I use Hasten on a character with Hasten...I don't think their hands glow, I think it's just an effect of the power to let the person know they activated it. It's not that hard to live with.

Now of course, some will incorporate such graphics into their characters, but I know I never thought any of my Regen characters where glowing bright green everytime they healed damage, as part of their concept.

If you're looking for tanking, you may be better off rolling a tank so you can spare more slots for your attacks. As it is right now you are kind of missing the brute part of being a brute.

You can probably spare some slots in endurance recovery for the sake of making your attacks more hard hitting.

5 slotting rage for a 5% recharge bonus is kind of weird when you don't have hasten and don't have your attacks slotted well for recharge anyway.

Hand clap is a poor choice, even for the AA set. You seem to be after tank stats, so why not save the money on AA and Armageddon to get the Glad 3%? There are far cheaper sets that still offer nice bonuses. In addition, the force feedback proc in foot stomp offers a significant increase in AOE dps. I highly recommend it.

I'm not that big of a fan of 3 slotting combat jumping on a brute. It just doesn't offer enough defense to justify the slot when you have far better places for it.

Fast healing slotting is kind of bizarre. I would 3-4 slot this with numina heal, heal/rec and heal/end.

Even with the glad IO, you aren't at S/L soft cap.

Consider finding a lot of slots. (I see 2 in fast healing, one in stam, one in superior conditioning, 1-2 in physical perfection depending on how long you expect fights to be, 2 in rage, 1 in combat jumping, and possible one in quick recovery again depending on how long you expect fights to be [if you do drop the 4th perf shifter, you are better off using the pef proc and 2 end mod IO's (or the end mod perf shifter if you want the 5% speed bonus)]) These slots should be used to 6 slot taunt with mocking beratement. There are nice set bonuses in there for you. The rest should be used to beef up your attacks.

There's probably more to fix, but this should at least get you started on the right track.

Post the data chunk next time and you will probably get more help.

Willpower types of characters would be people like Elektra for example.

But I also realize there's more to it than the "fourth wall" problem Captain_Photon was describing as well. It's pretty clear the Devs chose to make the difficulty settings something you have to go to a contact to change in order to make it very difficult (if not impossible) to exploit the system by being able to change difficulty levels while in the middle of a mission.

It's like it is in order to prevent any kind of difficulty exploit known or unknown. Sure it may be a crude metagamey way to do it, but as you've already concluded it's probably not going to be changed regardless.

max end increase alternatively also increases end recovery since end recovery is a % of your end
