    So Illusion might be slightly weaker in one phase of one trial. And yet you still say you were able to contribute and adapt. I see nothing wrong here.

    With how many powerset combinations there are in this game, I don't think it's practical to expect every single encounter be perfectly balanced for each one. Like other people have said, that's where your 10 or so other teammates fit in.

Otherwise, it's not really of much use, since in most cases, the extra magnitude won't make the target any more held. Like as not, the proc won't occur on a boss, and everyone else is held with the base hold value.
    Not sure what you mean by the proc not occurring on a boss. I have it on my Earth Controller and when it procs on my single target hold it allows me to hold a boss in one shot without overpower.

    I see it being less useful for Doms because of Domination though.

    Hey guys. My bro and I have been banging our head against the walls trying to figure this out but we just aren't experienced enough with the endgame to make an informed decision.

    We want to be able to all manner of endgame activities with nothing too specific in mind. Even some crazy stuff like duoing STF. Basically as cheesy as it is we want the best, most synergistic combo we can come up with. We're open to play pretty much anything.

    The best we came up with so far is a Fire/Fire Brute and a Fire/Cold Corruptor. \Cold Corruptor seems amazing, especially for duo AV killing.

    Earth/Kin Controller and a Fire/Shield Brute was another one we thought would be nice. Crazy control and Fulcrum Shift/Speed Boost for the Brute sounds pretty nice.

    I'm really not sure on the secondary pick for Brute. If you guys could pick any armor set to go with any buff set to make the Brute as resilient as possible while maintaining good DPS, what would it be?

    We thought FA would be better than Shield because you could potentially soft cap a FA Brute with the Cold's shields. And that the defense from cold would potentially be overkill on a shield.

    Quick side question, does anyone know how FM compares to other Brute sets for single target DPS? I saw a Scrapper thread where FM was right up there for DPS right behind DM, wondering if it's more or less the same for Brutes.
