Flaming Cloud

Hey guys just threw up a build for my Mace/Shield Brute and was thinking what I could do to better improve him. I've soft capped Melee/Ranged def and gotten AoE somewhere in the low 40's. I'll primarily Solo with him, run TF's, badge hunt, and kill EB's etc. Shooting for great survivability and damage output!

Thanks guys

So if I have a friend that recently played CoH, he can come in for free and play a bit?
