Is that a bug then that those two powers would cancel each other out? Those 2 powers should make you stronger than weaker you would think.

Where do I find the beta server at? Do I have to download it?

Well you pegged wrong cause I use to PL people all the time when the game first came out, and im working on a SS/Fire brute right now so I have the ability to PL people. I just have this idea that I think will be a very good one, thats all. I am not begging, sorry if I came off that way. Im gonna go to Beta and try the lvl bump and test my idea out there, thanks for everyone's help.

Why not make Regen the only AT in the game that does not recieve debt, im just taking this to the next lvl what someone said earlier.

Do the dev's read this stuff were talking about, cause if so were giving them all good ideas here for a regen tank. They might actually make a regen tank cause of our discussions here. A few tweaks here and there and this set might actually be not only slightly sturdy but one of the better sets to see and play with.

yeah I know, im VIP so I might try the beta thing out and I wont need a whole lot of influence for this build either. Really want to just try an idea out that I think will devastate the enemy mobs

Anyone make a SS/shield brute, curious how well against all odds and rage work together. I was thinking that your fury bar + against all odds + rage would make your character do some pretty good damage, anyone know from experience?

anyone willing to PL my character to lvl 44 on protector server

Its only 1 character

Yeah, going to beta and making him there and get a lvl bump would be very good idea. I like that idea and might try it unless someone is willing to PL a character of mine roughly 30 lvls.

I have a character that I want to test an idea out, but can't achieve that till lvl 44 for a controller. What would be the fastest way to get to lvl 44 so I can test some things out. At my rate for this character I'm already at lvl 12 or so but at my current rate it will take proabably near 2 weeks to get to 44 so I need help getting there any help would be appreciated.

If this idea works, it will simply be one of the best characters in the game hands down.

Sometimes its not the build you make, but its the way you build it that surpasses your expectations. I made a Storm/Ice defender with all intent to go all AOE with Freezing rain, ice storm, blizzard, and snow storm. Well I had steamy mist so I decided to get super speed to help make me alot more invisible those 2 have good synergy there. I also selected whirlwind for the effect with hurricane for more spinny goodness. Well since im a defender I do feel obligated to heal my team and I keep a close eye to the health bar of my team-mates, and you know that moment when you start seeing everyone's health-bar drop at a very quick rate and you know that the whole team is about to get whiped out like we have seen before and you get that urge to run away so you dont get debt. Well in order to get aggro off the team and for them to catch a breath, I decided to do something as a defender that would surely get me killed in order to see that the rest of the team lives. I turn on hurricane and whirlwind and I start moving from each enemy to the next doing a "Scatter and Splatter" like technique taking all aggro and placing it on me. The enemies were getting thrown all over the room, they were on their back-ends the whole time and the -Tohit from hurricane was making it easy on me. Throw in a couple of Gale's and WOW not only do I survive so does the team. Now yeah a Fire tank or SS/Fire brute would hate this cause the enemies are all over the place but hey we lived. This actually far exceeded my expectations, so I thought I will do this again as a "panic button", and it worked again. Well sure enough being a defender will catch up to you taking all aggro like that and I eventually died, but still it was like out of every 5 times I did this it work 3 times on average it seems. This far exceeded my expectations and worked very very well.

From what im reading on here people are saying that KM is better on scrappers than brutes, why is that?

I was thinking about pairing up KM/Shield on a brute cause I was wanting to try out power siphon, against all odds, and with your fury bar high I thought those 3 working together should give some good dmg output, am I wrong?

Side note, I was playing and electrical brute and his dmg aura would go from +2 on each hit to around +7 once my fury bar got real high, can a scrapper get that +7 on a dmg aura?

If they were to make instant healing a toggle for tankers only and get rid of the revive power and replace it with a power like rise to the challenge for tankers only, the set would be very good for a tank I believe. So your power list would look something like this.

1.) Fast Healing
2.) Reconstruction
3.) Quick Recovery
4.) Dull Pain
5.) Integration
6.) Resilience
7.) Instant Healing (available as a toggle for tankers only)
8.) Rise to the Challenge or....
8.) Power Sink (This power drains health from enemies and returns it to you)
9.) Moment of Glory

If you were to have a power like power sink where instead of draining endurance and returning it to you, it would drain health and return it to you affecting up to 10 foes, that would be very cool I think

If it looked like that, I would be very interested in that.

Could you actually tank with regen though? I think it would be fun to have a regen tanker since they have all that HP.

Why would the devs not want brutes to have ice armor? Would it give a brute an edge in something?

If brutes got Ice armor would that help brutes at any lvl?

I saw some people talking about them wanting brutes to get ice armor, like it would be very helpful for a brute but I dont see how. How could it be oh so "cool"? hehe

If tankers got regen, would that be a good thing or a bad thing and why?

Yeah, I was thinking that if you have electric armor you could use engergize and power sink for a brute you can keep your endurance bar at a high lvl which you then could keep attacking from 1 mob to another which by doing that will keep your fury bar high, so that was my logic for wanting to choose electric armor.

I thought about fire armor, but I figured like you said, the set has enough AOE's in it anyhow, you'll be too busy using your primary powers anyway.
I still think that SS/fire for a brute will still be the better option for insane offense than TW/fire, any thoughts?

The servers are suppost to go down today, maybe when they come back up TW will be available, but maybe thats just wishful thinking.

Man, I was looking forward to shield and titan weapons. I had a great character in mind for the build.

If you were to make a TW/electric armour, would lightning reflexes make the animations faster making your attack speed faster?

I was thinking about making a TW/electric but from what im reading TW/electric has some slow animations and if lightning reflexes wouldn't work to make that faster then the set would be pretty slow and electric would be a far better fit for street justice due to the fast animations and fast hitting and endurance management unless TW eats up a ton of endurance and needs endurance help, like powersink.

Question is though, for the people playing on beta how much endurance does this power eat up, cause if its alot then Electric actually would be the better fit then, but if your animations are slow then actually the slower you move the less endurance your actually using.

So I was thinking of a character I can make and it would be a TW/Shield. With Shield's AOE power then follow it up with TW's AOE power, I figured that would be a pretty good chain. Any thoughts?

Now what I want to know is the idea of TW/Fire for a brute sounds like it might be better than SS/Fire since TW/fire has all the AOE's, but the redraw from burn might be a killer, anyone know from experience on this yet?

Can anyone post the list of powers for titan weapons, cant really find them that well.

If you played with titan weapons on beta please post your secondary and your thoughts.

Anyone want to answer my statement listed above?

When it comes to titan weapons, wouldnt you agree that electric armour would be better than fire or am I wrong?

Im thinking TW/electric because if it has alot of AOE's like they say, then you will be too busy dishing out your TW AOE's and will need good endurance management and electric armour gives you energize which you can make close to perma i believe and then put that in with power sink and you should have no endurance problems and you can keep pushing onto the next mob which is great for a brute cause he can then keep his fury bar up and have the endurance to be able to do that, im not saying a fire armour can't do this, but electric I would imagine can do it far better on being able to move to the next group of baddies and have the endurance to keep going.

Do you think that a TW/fire would be better than SS/fire?

If you have rage perma do you ever get the crash of -end and -dmg?

I was thinking about also rolling a TW/electric brute over a TW/fire brute due to the fact that i hear that TW will use's a little more end. than normal so electric armour will be huge in fixing that.

TW is suppost to be big on AOE's so you would think fire would be a great pair to go with it, maybe i dont know yet but I would think that with energize plus power sink you would have really no end. problems at all and you would be more durable and you would be too focused on your other AOE's from the set and probably wouldn't need burn. The animation time to get burn out then TW might be kinda long maybe.

Anyone play TW/Electric and a TW/fire brute yet on beta?

Can someone post their powers for TW to see what they are?

Talk about the pro's and con's of these builds and your experience.

I was thinking about making either a SS/electric brute or electric/SS tank any advice on this?

I know everyone says ss/fire is a the best on offense for melee but what about ss/electric helping so much on end. you can just keep going opposed to fire which has some end. help but not like compared to electric right?

How much better on defense would electric for a tank be compared to a brute be? Is there a big survivability difference between the two in electric armour?

Is there a big offense difference with tankers and brutes, I know brutes have fury but is it a substantial difference?

Would Mercs/Traps be better to go with than Mercs/TA?

Is TA even a good secondary? Anyone have anything good to say about TA?

Is Traps always a good secondary?
