Think brutes resists cap out at 75% resist

Ive done most of my levels sollo or on a Duo with an irl friend that plays a stalker. The "boring" part is that i get alot more xp/hour when soloing then i get with teams as there is so much downtime with teams both in missions and when waiting for people.

But now at lvl 37 i think im gonna slow down and enjoy some teaming.

I think Air Supp is better just because you dont need to be on the ground to do it and i hate the activation time on it.
Its an decent attack but it didnt fit my build.

Here is the build im using now,

This build is mainly for PvP but works great in pve also i can smash through Vicious Newspaper missions non stop without rest. Im lvl 36 atm

So Disorient and Holds drops Toggles if they hit?
Is it 100% sure that a toggle drops when they get mezzed or is it like brawl 33%

And about the Mez resistance when you get an power with mez resistance do you get totaly immune to it?
It atleast seems like that as when i got unyelding running i never get knocked down or held.

What attacks does we brutes have that can Drop opponents toggle powers?

Heard somewhere that Brawl have a chance of dropping opponents toggle and in my experince it´s working. But do i have any other powers that can do it? im Super Strenght but please feel free to post other Brute power sets toggle dropping attacks

You get RPD by deafult so all have it.
But imo resist energy/elements aint worth taking, There are alot better powers to get. And i for one didnt notice a big diffrence between when i had em and now when i dont. Not compared to the diffrence i noticed when i got Tough from the Fighting tree + i got boxing also.

You've never played a good blaster then? Blasters I know can take out pretty much anyone in under 5 seconds!

[/ QUOTE ]

Hehe ok I have never played CoH only got CoV and i have no problems with blasters with my brute. But im only telling from my own experiences. Maybe there are alot of good blasters out there that dont do PvP or something cause I havent seeen em yet.

Kinda wierd post you have got there But yeah blasters aint good in pvp Ive never played CoH but the blasters ive met in PvP usualy goes down realy fast, They do good dmg but lack the skills to stay out of range.

And yeah Warburg is so dead wich is wierd as it has the missions that gives the best XP for 30+ villans.
Oh and btw why dont you enter the mission instead of waiting outside?

In my experience i use Haymaker more often then KO Blow as KO cost so much end. I mainly use KO on bosses only.

here cheked som stats with "Hero Builder" And Base dmg of KO is 9.8 Base of Assasin is 19.4
This is an index from brawl if i understand the calcualtions right.

An brute with full fury gets *3 wich gets it to 29.4
But then an stalker attacking from Hide gets *6 wich gets the base dmg up to 116,4
No use countung in rage as stalkers have Build up wich adds the same precentage Dmg

I agree with Max. Those powers only give around 5% resistances 8%ish with 3 slots dmg res (wich is a huge waste). Theres alot better powers to spend your points in

Will drop those slots in Super jump, Have it now with one slot and noticed it dosent drain much endurance at all.

One more question is it worth slotting Unstoppable with 3x Recharge rate? or will it be a waste?

How do you get any decent fury going in pvp?

yeah will probaly drop some Acc atleast in the attacks except in KO blow as you said (dont want that to miss in pvp)

About the flying i dont realy fancy that flying have it now but it dont realy work for me in PvP i usualy Buy one of those Jet Jumping thingies and thats works realy good thats why im into super jump.

About that tip on dumping Hasten and Jab and getting Tough and Boxing i think i will do that never even thougt about that i could replace Jab with Boxing so thx for that.

And as ive never tried Hasten so i dont know what im missing it just looked good when i read about it

So this is how it looks now at my 32 Respec.

So any tips and comments on this would be welcome Maybe if i have put in some Usless power or left out any "must haves".

What i want to get out of this build is mainly PvP but also usefullness in PvE

Ok, That Recahrge in TI is an error that i must have missed.
And is Acc needed in attacks when you have perma rage and 3 sloted it for ToHit?

And also i qot another question Does Unyielding offers protection against Holds knock backs and such or not, There is a kinda wierd "info" on the power it says "Resist all Dmg But Psi" then there is an ; And it says Imobilize knockdown etc. .

Hi ive played CoV for roughly 1 month now and could need some help.

I have done lots of errors in my build as I didnt realy know what the stuff did and so forth. But I am now comming up for an respec im lvl 30 now and was planning on doing the respec at lvl 32.

Heres what i have planned
