Help me fix my Claws/SR Brute!
I'm thinking dropping Taunt for Weave will be the easiest... But I rather enjoy taunt on this chick..
50s:
White Valkyrie - BS/Regen Scrap
Fear of Silence - Ninja/Dark MM
Corporate Zombie - Necro/Poison MM
Ardent Cataclysm - Stone/Fire Tank
Angelic Heart - Peacebringer
Maelstrom - Elec/Elec Brute
Novastar - Energy/Fire Blaster
Here's the question:
Have you actually noticed the difference?
Be well, people of CoH.

If you're ok with defense around 44%, you can simply 6 slot focus with thunderstrike, and change the multi strike in eviscerate to Scirocco's Dervish. Such changes don't even need a respec. If you love the magic 45%, below is a build that moves a couple slots around.

Hello everyone..
Recently it's come to my attention that the zephyr IO was changed.. SAWEET..
Not really..
MY favorite villain (my level 50 claws/SR brute) after not playing her for a while now suffers from non capped defenses to ranged and AoE..
The problem is, I can't see how I should alter my build to fix these holes!
I present my build.. I would like to keep as many of the IO's as I can (As few changes as possible) as that is the build I currently have.. Everything..
I just want my softcap to be returned! That's where you guys come in! Help me out!!
