Fuicy

generally i dont notice gettin freebies and all my chars are female! only time i get inf is off ppl i teamed with a bit and they take pity on me, esp as i just started on heroes after a fair long stint on villains. i am female, have been chatted up a few times which i find hillarious, (mainly due to the kinda of chat they use), and have also been under debate before in a team, and asked by a number of ppl if i am male in RL as i apparently sound it...not sure if thats offensive or not yet....

my 3rd and 4th villains to hit 50....
Eunuchiser brute.... energy/inv/mu
Iznogoud stalker... claws/super reflexes/soul

shadow maul so late....that move is great imo

personally i dont find seeds the most important power in a plant dom, there are other moves i consider more vital than confusion, but they are later on.
(although i havent played my plant dom much since she hit 40 a while ago)

Also i skipped the passives in favour of aidself

aid self? on a inv brute? i dont understand y its needed. surely dull pain is more than enough

brutes can tank...but only if they usin a final shield

i say resist energys isnt worth it...my energy/inv is 48 and she done fine without it, thats the only secondary i skipped tho. as for primary, depends wat u wanting the brute for.
if just pve skip stun, ive skipped taunt too as i tend to use that particular brute more as my solo toon but find in teams whirling hands is quite a nice aggro getter. haste is just fun for unstopp recharge and handy but energy does give ok recharge without it. but they all just my thoughts

good advice there Valkryst, i tend to use auto jab instead of auto brawl already but i do usually have auto rage....just coz it so much fun [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] but ill try without it...also i been usin ko for startin ill give it ago as u suggested. i tend to use dark regen how u say, as as soon as i god it i was shocked at how end drainin it was...i can certainly see y dm has a end drainin move!

is it possible to do it with just one team now? i havent actually tried a monster since just after i7. (secretly prayin u still can do it with a 3 man team)

Remember that as a brute your prioriyty in attack slotting is accuracy, endrdx and recharge. Damage is secondary, since with fury the damage slots on't do that much.

i have had a few high lvl brutes in my time and always slotted dmg as 3 slots on all attacks, (obviously with acc and end red accordin to the primary type). i did know someone who did as u said and skipped the dmg slots but eventually agreed they were needed. i dont know many brutes without them.

i wanted somethink i havent had before....i have a DM brute...so similar sorta thing...that also y i avoidin EM on the stalker as i have a EM brute already.
i usually end up spendin ddays decidin between 2 primary or secondary that i cant make my mind up on [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

towards the end (end bein 40 at the time) i managed to solo relentless papers with my energy/thermal...sure it took a tad longer than a brute but thats expected. and i managed bosses by just keepin them on their ****....cant kill me if they knocked down, air sup great for that!

Cheers for the advice, i think ive currently got all shields 2 slotted with end red. waitin on slots for the attacks...b4 the 40-50 run i always have way too few! but ill take the advice on the shields and see how it goes

Soooo...got my second stalker...well plannin wat she gonna be, but havin a little prob decidin the primary, so of course i come to the trusty forums and wait for someone to tell me wat to make [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
wat should it be....MA/nin or Nin/nin (or watever the shorten thingies are!)

I'm findin an incredable drain on end on this brute (lvl 33) i guess i kept playin to see if the end got any better.....it didnt [img]/uk/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] not only that but the fury seems a pain to get up. any advice on shields i should have skipped to help with end at all. i really like the toon....just dont want another brute dependent on a kin

I got a little dark/elec brute on the go at the mo...only bout lvl 13 at the mo...but i have had a lvl 28 dark/inv brute (deleted now) and i absolutly love shadow maul. i personally think its one of the best moves in the set. it does a fair bit of dmg. maybe you could use 2 moves in the time it takes for the animation....but be around the same dmg using those 2 against that 1....and less end if ur usin just one move.

I found my energy/thermal corr really good to solo. it was my first toon and it was late 20's before i started to team, but still did a fair bit of solo up to 40. the kb rules on solo missions for a corr and thermal heal never misses you so its really handy. it does have a few buffs for other team mates, but i just got them wen i started teaming alot.

Forgot to say owt....the mister and i hit our 2nd 50's a while back...
Big Momma Soul-cor- rad/kin/erm...the sharky one
Pebble-Dash-brute- stone/stone/ and sharky boy again

oh and a mate....
Dark Instigator-stalker- spines/regen/mu (i think)
