    I am no expert but I think your attack chain will be a bit gimped with out haymaker. And the +acc I would go for some other bonus simply because rage gives a fairly large tohit bonus.

    I went soul on my dark/cold corr just because soul storm hits pretty hard in PvP. I may respec into levi though, haven't finished the build =/
  4. Ethical
    no problem. If you can get 2 more slots into Hasten you will benefit. I just didn't know what you wanted to sacrafice.
  5. Ethical
    the FF proc make that big of a difference on endurance drain? I have it slotted in my build but can definitely see where the endurance reduction IO would also be a help
  6. Ethical
    I toyed with it a bit. Here is what i came up with, you can tweak it some but i think you will like the added defense. S/L is all you really need to concentrate on as for nearly every attack in the game deals some of it and if it is your highest defense thats what will be used.

    Fury Equation

    POST-ACTION

    Do AoE attacks that hit multiple baddies generate more furry?
  8. Ethical
    It wont let me open your build, but imo stealth on a brute is kind of dumb =/. Why not just pick up hasten?

    Shield Charge

    POST-ACTION

    How much damage does shield charge actually do? Mids doens't show its numbers (it shows liek 24 damage or something) but says its superior or extreme or something of the nature. Anyway just curious.

    I am up for making SS for sure. I honestly just like the way Lightning rod looks haha. I have heard SS/SD is very endurance heavy? Is this true or is it ok? I do not know much about /fire so what would be the best (like I said I do not know much about brutes in general).
    Thanks for your input Goshnova
  13. Ethical
    So im thinkg Elec/something. Either /elec, /wp, or possibly /shield. Any recomendations? I usually play Corruptors and im looking for a good farming brute that can destroy spawns. Thanks in advance for your help.
  14. Ethical
    does the 5% chance hit enough to consider doing it? My KB protection is 37, If i don't use this proc i can get it to 41. I am just trying to see if it is worth it.
  15. Ethical
    Yeah, and there is only a 5% chance. I am thinking I will be better investing my slot on some extra knockback protection in dark embrace
  16. Ethical
    anyone know if this is worth doing?
  17. Ethical
    If you slot the chance for build up in tactics, how does it work? Does it check every 10 seconds or so or what? Was thinking about doing it, didn't know if it would be a waste of a slot or what.

    dark/cold corr

    POST-ACTION

    Not necissarily slows, but anti fly, and jump powers will keep them pretty well in place. Everyone has told me not to take dark pit. That over moon beam or torrent?
  19. Ethical

    dark/cold corr

    POST-ACTION

    I just want a bit of advice on my dark/cold corr. I know what to take out of /cold, but on dark/ I did not take moonbeam, darkpit, or torrent. I took the nuke because with IOs you can get a nice Acc bonus as well as a 10% recharge and it will be nice for PvE. My question is, is Torrent that affective in PvP to take for the knock back? I can get the same bonuses with it they are just not quite as large. I just was thinking with the slows and web envelope I will have enough soft control to keep someone where I want em. I know I most likely wont use the nuke in PvP unless its an "oh sh*t" button (which is still unlikely). Anyway, any thoughts or suggestions will be much appreciated

    how is ice bad? It comes with 2 holds, and has high single target damage. Not to mention with all the -rchrg, after a power is used it will probably be the end of the fight before you see it again. I have seen alot of ice/colds and ice/rads rip it up in pvp
