Cool. Thanks for that! So far, It overlaps once. I'm sure once I get all my "stuff" together it will stack a few more times. An AoE huh, besides footstomp? I actually think I'm taking the sharks out for hurl. We'll see though.

It looks ok except, I'm sure you want to get mind over body sooner and put more slots in it as its one of your main toggles. Also, I hear rise to the challenge's -acc is pretty good out the box... I think I would change the slots on it to more focus on regen since that is one of the key powers in willpower I'm told.

Strength of will is no big deal I suppose, it looks ok, not my preferrable slotting but everyone is different.

So, last week I decided to scrap my SM/Ela for a SS/SR. I was a little sceptical because I have a DM/SR that I was having problems with the defense for so long and I guess since it was my first SR that's to be expcected (didn't know what I was doing). After taking a look at some forum posts and playing with mid's a plenty I decided to make him on Virtue!

He is now 26, and honestly, I love it! The defense is great so far with just the one problem: two many buffs to click. I have to click hasten, click rage, and practiced brawler is on auto because its the most important I'd say. My build is below, so any advice pointers, etc., are welcome. FYI I want to be stealthy, not sure why but I think it will be cool so if you notice stealth thats why:

I think more of the concern is the is not actually ice melee, but the ice armor. If you put in chilling embrace, or maybe icicles (anything that does the -recrg) or anything on the armor side that can slow the mobs, means they arent swinging at you which could handicap fury.

On the other side of that, similar powers that do nothing for fury CoF, OG, etc., I can see why the point can be looked at as a little invald now. Lets get a Dev in here!

Thanks Paladin! That gave me an alternative!

I see your point about burn, dont don't forget you got two patrons that have a AoE Immob. They cant run then! Something to consider.

Scrapping him! LOL sorry! Ya, I know there is really no point in a stealth capped brute, I just didn't want people to see my coming. I usually try to make builds I can play for both as I am not a hardcore PvP'r anymore. 40- 45% huh? Hmmm, I'll have to see what I can do on that front. Thanks!

Hello!!

I know per the new issue we are getting the Energize change for Electric Armor, but honestly I dunno if I'm gonna keep my Stone/Ela brute. I guess it just came to a point where all the things I wanted to fight in or rather should get to be helpful (tough, weave, etc.) just didn't work into the build.

I am contemplating crapping him for my new SS/SR brute. I so far got a build worked with really good regen, recovery, all defense at 40% + and stealth capped (I want to play him kinda like a stalker).

I would like some feedback if any. Thank you!

Well done! I alsolike your guide/build preferences. I recent;y madea ss/elec brute and had one question. I was considering taking either fly or SJ fora travel. fly of course for AS and thinking...with Lightning Reflexes and Swift how fast willl I fly? And will it be comprable to other travel speeds for so? SJ just cause its a habit. And say fly attacking in pvping zones totally negates my grounded effects right?
