Having a great time with my lev 23 Stone/Inv brute. The only problems I am having are:
1) end shortage (now largely cured with stamina, but may become a problem again later when attacks further slotted or if I get hasten)
2) building fury - I seem to be very slow at this
3) poor resistance to anything other than smash/lethal.
My question is about the last of these. I have noticed that whenever I meet anything with attacks other than smash/lethal, my health simply plummets. Mainly it has been fire that I've met so far (demolitionists, Council fire guys etc), but I'm sure there's much more to come.
The problem is that I need to have lots of ppl attacking me in order to build fury. However if they have non-SL/damage, they kill me!
So, what is the best strategy to mitigate this? I have unyielding, and will 3 slot this with dam res. But what then? Should I take the 2 passive shields, or should I take aid self instead? The sheields seem to give very low additional res. How practical is it to use aid self in combat? Although it uses end, and will mean a break in my attack chain, it seems a more flexible and possibly a better solution.
Which should I go for, and why?
