Hmm, I had a team together in like 3 minutes last night (8pm est. at lvl 19ish in Skyway of all places).


Also this. Slowest day of the week. (imo)

I skipped OWtS on my wm/sd, also skipped taunt. It's also rare that I run the Grant Cover toggle, but I took it none the less.

I had bash but respec'd it out later. The attack chain of pulverize, Jawbreaker, clobber, shatter, and CC are more than enough. (Mace excels when you herd mobs into clusters.) I took Whirling late in my build, it's very handy when farming.

Throw a few sets of crushing Impacts and red fortunes for a cheap build that will be just fine.

but... but... how could something so strong AND so pretty fail. Shenanigans!

Of the three builds here, I would have to vote for the elec/sd brute. (But it all depends if you want to farm red side or blue) The scrapper will have a higher base dmg modifier (iirc), but if you can keep your fury up the brute will be hard to beat.

HA, I read your title and I thought you were refering to making him all blue (in color). Made me think it was some crazy trend I was not aware of. (smurf sg?)

A blue side brute will of course have to be done. Add to that a redside Empathy toon. (or is that Apathy?)

This is forever good for a smile at a slow rainy day at work.


So Strong!
So Pretty!

This.

As it was 2xp weekend AND a new power set, there were tons of teams full of pistols. While most I teamed with had it set to fire the majority of the time. I tended to stick with original flavor bullets (I have a DP/Ice Cor). The knockback is a great tool when you have little other ways to mitigate the incoming damage. (wish I could ice shield myself )

I'd prefer a new melee set that is toxic based damage, and a toxic armor set could be interesting.

I need some sort of flow chart to keep up with all the relationship aspects.

Did they cancel it?!?

Say it ain't so!

That show has me in tears at times!

For primary..

Claws, Fire, or Super Strenth are the most straight forward of the bunch.

For Secondary...

Willpower or Invulnerability are good learning builds.

Some of the other sets (like Dark Powers) take a bit of experience to get used to.

THIS IS SOOO TRUE!!

Make many many characters and you'll find the one that makes the game go from great to awesome!!

without Gary GMu?

SM/DA - (50) My first brute. Terrible on endurance usage, Great solo, Poor at tanking. He is not IO'd and is dusty on the shelf, although he has alot of badges.

Fire/Fire - (50) Excellent damage, works great in the dps role. I enjoy him as long as he doesn't have to tank. Also not IO'd.

WM/SD - (50) My favorite of my brutes. Sick damage, Heavily IO'd, awesome farmer. Awesome everything.

Claws/WP - (15?) So far so good. Is fast and no brainer as for power choices.

DB/SR - (20?) meh, I think I dont like the costume or concept, so it hasnt stuck, but I'm not giving up on it yet.

edit.

Forgot one.

Elec/Stone - (18?) I don't like stone armor, but people rave about it, so I haven't deleted him (yet).

(in the voice of the Emperor)

Something, something, something, Darksiiide... er Redsiiide!

Just ask my boss...

My WM/SD Brute is easily my best slotted redside character. And with multiple Brutes at 50 she is my favorite to play.

Yes, she died alot at early levels and the endurance usage was brutal, but since hitting 50 and IO'ing out (almost complete, need another set or two), she is killer. Herd your group of mobs into a nice stack and go to town with crowd control, whirling mace, and shatter. Game Over!

It's may take some work to get up all the stats you want, to the levels at which you want them, but it'll be worth it in the end.

Beware of the Romans and their stacking -def attacks. They can chew thru shields at a rapid pace if your not careful.

PS. The painful 'Thunk" sound of clobber makes my head hurt just thinking of it.
