OF COURSE HE IS HE DETH KICK YOU! Ok maybe he had Jump Kick for extra awesomeness.

Ok now this is a little contradictory.

It's actually a good strategy to have some fire defense. Cyborg farm is fire-only. I don't use it because it sucks compared to ambush farms, but even having 10% fire def on my SS/FA brute is good because I only need to use 3 purps instead of 4 - may look like little but it helps a lot in not clicking so much since in ambush farms you can die to fire even being/fa (target cap all the time, +4 bosses in the middle). Plan is to get to 25% so with one I'm comfortable and can farm with one hand.

lolwut?

Open Herostats and see how much damage it does my friends.
Also, reroll a brute. Mine is still incomplete, took 2 days to self-pl to 50 (no outside help) and with fury and whatnot, only 30% rech atm and missing the Mu Patron because I din't finish the arc yet he farms ambush farms (way better - and harder - than cyborg) at +4/x8 w/ bosses. He did +3/x8 when using only common acc, endred and rech IOs, before Fireball.

Fury+reds makes you reach the damage cap or close to it, so it's much better on a Brute, I don't even use KO Blow because bosses are killed by my AoEs (THAT INCLUDES BLAZING AURA). I have a Fire/Fire tanker and it's not even close.

Aw damn you failed right in the beginning of the post

And it actually made Spin better on Brutes than Scrappers.

The number of amusing people in this thread keeps growing.

Oh so you also use those IOs that aren't even on Paragonwiki? Shh dude they'll nerf us, of course for players like us SOs are fine for soloing trials without that Incarnate powers doohickey. But yea we can't tell what they are, how to make them or how to play them (notice I'm using 'them' because I have five toons that do that so it makes me a 5x better player than you and 175 times better than Comfort).

Cmon it's an interesting read ya know why use punctuation in the internet it's a waist of tiem you gotta listn to me real hard nao cuz ur don't have to write good in the internet bro

Oh yeah I have one in Haymaker and one in Taunt - they're great, with my 9% of fire defense now (CJ too) I can already use 3 small purps when farming instead of 4 all the time, this has helped me a lot. The final build will make me use only 1 or 2, or 1 medium, not rare when youre farming +4/x8.

I just need to do the TFs so I can farm even 'lazier' and get cardiac so that I don't have to click on blue insps sometimes (admittedly my fireball has no endred and is the biggest offender, I'm still halfway thru the Mu patron arc) so that I can use only my binds for reds and purp insps - the build will be permahasten so I don't need Spiritual. And the extra Res from cardiac will be useful when I run tips and trials and whatnot. With Cardiac, a fast recharging Aoe chain and KO Blow I think he'll be good enough to be used on trials since we get defense buffs all the time there. I'm already running tips at +2/x3 with bossses with no problem.

Well not really, I put a set in Punch in my agricultural Brute (I said I'm going for a cheapo permahasten just to farm) and I paid like 555-50k per recipe.

I don't find it worthy holding on to anything less than 1 mil. Actually less than 5 but sometimes I get a lot of crap.

And I'm liking the 30-34 bronze and silver, got me KCs and they were level 35, maybe because I'm 50 now. I'll try the 35-39 range next. I'm appreciating the feedback very much, I was afraid I'd be shunned because I remember so many people asked about in i14/i15 but I didn't do AE and left in i16. Also I couldn't find decent answers as I said - I searched a lot, so I figured instead of studying large tables in the wiki the market people made - like, bronze rolls have 400 recipes in some categories - I'd better just ask here what people with experience are doing.

Self-PL a SS/FA Brute, you can get to 50 in 1 day if you play all day. I took three. Use the damage aura and occasional ST attack to get to Burn in lowbie farms and using lucks.

Slot only acc and endred and some rech when you get FootStomp and Burn and profit! You can go to fire farms at +3/x8 with bosses. By the time you get to your epics it goes faster and you can start IO'ing. My 50 broot has 30% global rech + FF proc in FS and can do +4/x8 with bosses because I just made him, he's far from the planned build.

Well actually after someone posted 'lol knowledge of powersets fail' and Dz131 responded with 'no u' I kinda thought he had gotten it. Or that he was already trying to be ironic in the first place.

Well that only makes it better, sorry to sound redundant after the post above but...

Stun Aura on Stalkers instead of Repulse is kinda different... Or well the mez shield turning into a taunt aura that gives you +rech.

The best combo is when you're fueled by AAO, you use FE then Shield Charge, Burn, Elec Fences and Ball Lightning, that's how I farm on my Shields/FA Broot
