    SJ/DA vs MA/DA

    ok i'm finding SJ to be incredibly end draining and was thinking perhaps switching over to MA/DA if it was better.

    any opinions? Pros/cons? Thoughts and comments welcomed.
  2. Ok so we're looking at either Spiritual or Vigor. Interesting.

    I'll give them a try and see which I like better.

    Thanks for your help guys!
  3. Well generally he's melee dps. I was leaning towards Spiritual but Musculature looks good too.

    I'm not worried about Acc but damage and recharge are a little problematic to me. I'm a big fan of speed and damage.

    I'll add his build info just to cover all the bases.

  4. Pretty much the question right there. I'm approaching 50 on my first brute and could use some advice on which Alpha slot enhancement would benefit him best.
  5. Lord_Sidious

    BS vs. Katana

    Pretty much what everyone else is saying.

    Katanna is faster.
    BS does more damage.

    It all comes down to what style you like.

    Also for the BS finishing combo. Head Splitter + Disembowel = profit. Unless you're fighting an elite boss or higher, on single targets this should be MORE than enough. Or you may have slotted horribly.

    Typically I go: Build up > Charge mob > Head Splitter (target dies) > Disembowel (target dies) > Hack + Slice remaining > everything is recharged > repeat as needed.

    This is apply sword to face as needed tactics. It ain't rocket surgery.
  6. don't care about the IO sets. very attached to fly.
  7. well rounded sounds like the better choice for my play style.
  8. yes i am very familiar with enhancment divisification. does that apply to slotting so'd with an IO as well?
  9. Hey, I need help with my brute build. I'm at lvl 37 now and get wrecked often enough in combat that I'm beginning to worry.

    I have two builds.. where I'm at and where I want to be at 50.

    this is where I'm at:

    so am I doing something wrong or am I crazy?
  10. I would just like to say... I <3 you guys. The halloween event is the one thing I look forward to every year.

    Thank you.
  11. I do. Thanks. Lots of changes to get used to.
  12. Ok it's making more sense to me now to take Parry now. That said I've reworked it a bit, I now have a question on Epics.

    How would I get the soul mastery since it's a villain thing? Being at 50 I think I missed the switch sides missions. If I can go back and do them great, but otherwise wich Epic should I be looking at?
  13. Really? Back when it wasnt that good. I'm curious as to the reasoning behind your suggestion.
  14. I've just return from being away from CoX since I4 and with all the new abilities I was wondering how to respec my scrapper. I worked out a plan and was looking for input.
