Thank you for all the replies!

I did in fact roll up some other power combos just to experiment around a bit. After playing them each for a couple hours I fell in love with the ElecM/WP combo. I do see that there is still endurance drain with trying to build fury but it's not even a smidge of a bit close to the trouble I was having with DB/ElA - and I don't even have quick recovery yet.
While the DB/WP combo looked fun and was performing pretty well also, the ElM just felt better and added bonus that the electricity fits with my concept of the character.

I may try another DB combo sometime in the future, maybe even the DB/ElA combo again but I think I'll save it for when I have more experience with the game and a better grasp on slotting and power sets and et al.


I greatly appreciate the advice and opinions!

Firstly, Hello . I just recently started playing the game. I am enjoying the Brute AT but am seeking some advice on my power choices.

After reading what I could around the forums here it's looking like my choices may not have been the best for starting out. I went Dual Blade/Electric and man does the endurance drain hurt. I'm only level 13 at the moment and am considering a re-roll but before I did that I wanted to probe a few more experienced minds here.

I love the idea of the dual blades, and of course the animations. Not having had much opportunity to play with other melee powers, I'm not sure how it stacks up with damage output. I duo with a stalker and I have noticed that most of the time there's not a whole lot of point to me even bothering trying to get off that next skill as she'll have torn them a new one by the time it goes off...
That's not entirely relevant to my post though.

I am considering a re-roll, as I said, to either elec melee/willpower or dual blade/willpower. I am wondering if the "chance" at endurance transfer with the elec melee would make willpower redundant or if the chance of that endurance return is low enough that willpower would still be a greater benefit with quick recovery.

I'm also still torn on not sticking out my current build. I took fitness with the idea that I would have stamina at 20 - but again I just have no idea if that's going to be enough to soothe the extreme endurance problems I am having. Dual Blade looks and sounds purty and the electric armor fits with my character concept... but I'm just not sure it's worth it.


Thoughts? Advice?

Much appreciated.

I don't think that's the case.

In fact I have no idea what the case was. I sat for 30 minutes trying to make this macro with no luck. Just now, I made a different macro: /macro Dance petsay_name "T-Bone" <em dance> and it worked. I then edited the button, changing the <em dance> to <em bbMeaty> .. and now the macro I was trying to get all that time works.


Macros seems a little... finicky. :/

New player here. Loving the game. I have searched the forums and the Wiki for help with this and the info I have found has not helped. I am probably missing something obvious.
I'm playing around with my MM, trying to set up some fun macros for my pets but I'm having some translation from normal petsay emote to macro button trouble.

I am trying to set up my thugs so 1 drops a beatbox and then they all bust a move.

Typing - petsay_name "T-Bone" <em bbMeaty> in the chat box works perfectly. T-Bone drops the beatbox playing the Meaty track and shuffles.

So I make my macro button: macro Meaty petsay_name "T-Bone" <em bbMeaty> : but instead of T-Bone performing the BBMeaty emote, T-Bone actually says "<bbMeaty>" in chat.


Not sure what I am missing or mistyping for the macro creation/edit.
Any ideas or help?
