Psionic tornado. This power actually does knock-up on most foes (even level or higher). Cant remember if I've ever seen it do KB.

[/ QUOTE ]

really?!?!!

thats definately made my decision, Fortunata! I always thought it did KB not KU.

Widow is Looking Less and Less Appealing.

Only if you always had a full team (with no other keldians).

[/ QUOTE ]

well with CM (or an equivilant (sp?)) then i can say human form ws's are extremely powerful. (PvE ofcourse) Tp into a mob, Eclipse, Mire, Damage Aura on, OG clone on, summon pet on dead enemy, continue to kill with capped resistances. stygian at end for full health and end. But without some mez protection of sorts, your pretty much a wannabe scrapper/blaster that gets held alot....

1. How much in game currency will these builds cost me?
Answer: a lot of $$$ but the payoff is worth it, in my opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a build i came up with which (i think ) wont cost me the earth in inf. I couldnt really work out how to get more +rech in it without gimping myself, but any feed back will be appreciated. well here it is

EDIT: just thought i would mention that my brute is only level 41 atm, this build is also incomplete at this stage. im not that far away from 50, but i like thinking ahead. (some of the io's in this build i already have)

EDIT 2: updated build with a "better" one.

[ QUOTE ]
But isn't Fire's single target damage also superior to the other primaries?

[/ QUOTE ]

i dont think so.

Im just gonna trow Ice/* into there. Its a pretty decent primary (i leveled ice blast to 50 on my blaster and ive got a corr at 33 with it aswell), makes soloing easy, its got Single Target Damage and its got a couple of holds for holding enemies whilst killing others, pretty safe to be honest.

[ QUOTE ]
human ws's are gimmped something shocking

[/ QUOTE ]
lies

[ QUOTE ]
Well I find Human Form damage a bit too weak to solely rely on and the Dwarf damage that bad I won't ideally team with one who can't also be an aggro bunny. Methods to deal with ones own voids etc are nice and I prefer secondary effects and damage.

[/ QUOTE ]

i love my all human ws, but only when i have break frees.......

[ QUOTE ]
Forgive me - you are of course correct. I meant to say that Invincibility has no offensive toggles.

[/ QUOTE ]

aha, in that case you would be correct

[ QUOTE ]
Invulnerability is solid but dull and lacks an aggro aura ability

[/ QUOTE ]

no it doesnt, it has invincibility which is its taunt aura..... i think the only brute secondary that doesnt have an "aggro grabber" is energy aura.

boost own post count +1

[ QUOTE ]
The sloting must be heavy with endreds, consider at least, 70% endreds in ur mallets, fault and seismic smash. Skip tremor (meh).

[/ QUOTE ]

atm i have most of my attacks slotted 2 end red 2 acc and 2 damage, seems to work fine, this ofcourse will change once i have enough inf for io's etc

[ QUOTE ]
Overall, SM is the best primary i have played with

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah i love SM too

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Also the challenge to battle with the cap, is a motivation by itself.

[/ QUOTE ]

You cannot battle the cap. What motivation.You can herd 17 mobs thats it.A tank wont even blink with this.There is no stress put towards the tank AT within PvE whatsoever imho.
Breaking the cap alone is not possible and thats about it.

[/ QUOTE ]
No no! You got it all wrong!

Let me quote what the great BurningFist said a year ago:
[ QUOTE ]
I'm saying that the aggro cap requires teams to be adaptable to changing situations, whereas before the aggro cap was introduced it was all to often about repeating the same situation ad nauseum.

Unpredictable fights = fun. Tanker locked aggro = tedium.

[/ QUOTE ]
I couldn't agree more.

[/ QUOTE ]

wow i made that topic!

edit: also realised i made some pretty stupid points

[ QUOTE ]
Out of curiosity, have you tried it after they lowered the cast time? It made a huge difference in how i felt about it and how i use it. Freezing a boss or two normal mobs from the start is pretty handy.

[/ QUOTE ]

i did try it on test for a little bit after it was changed, it is alot better i agree, although i still think FR&gt;BFR in everyway, although that was on my Blaster, and not my ice/ corruptor, i can see how it would be more useful on a corruptor to have both (my blasters got freezing touch which is ALOT better but sadly corr's dont get that ) i shall have to try it on my corruptor, i got mixed up between the two in the earlier post.

[ QUOTE ]
Well, it is ur opinion, i only can say i respect it

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
And likewise I respect yours .

[/ QUOTE ]

respecting peoples opinions on forums?! what is wrong with you two?!

i dont have any experience with /rad but i do with the ice/ part and i extremely dislike BFR, really, sure the animation is cool blah blah blah good opener etc etc, it just seems to me not needed in any build, you wont be able to use it midbattle (well you could but you wont be able to do anything else whilst the animation is going on, including heal yourself or run), but try it for yourself and see, you can always respec out of it if you dislike it,

id also add, that you should get the tier 1 attack (going against what some others have said) as stacking the slows and -rech is pretty handy and it has a quick animation time. ice bolt, ice blast and bitter ice blast, is quite a nice attack chain for solo PvE,

another power which i dislike is frost breath, ive never been fond of it the cone just doesnt seem to be big enough to be of use. (30' according to mids hero designer)

all of the above is in my opinion and i respect the opinions of others

edit: [ QUOTE ]
Whateven Secondary you Pick, remember you are a healer so you will heed all Heal/Sheild/Buff/Raz Power's, keep the team alive you wont need to kill.

[/ QUOTE ]

woah woah woah, he is a corruptor, and hes going to be playing solo as he plays late at night, and you can hardly call the corruptor secondarys "healer" the closest is thermal and that has other things to it.

[ QUOTE ]
assuming you mean Dark melee. There was a post about it not so long ago look at that.
I have a littel guy with DM/elec and he is a Killer.

[/ QUOTE ]

i think he means dual blades, i dont have any experience with it atm.

[ QUOTE ]
*looks at build*
O.O
*faints*

If you are doing well with that build you certainly don't need my help.

[/ QUOTE ]

agreed! O_o

[ QUOTE ]
I don't know much about brutes, but i've heard from various chit chat, that /stone brutes aren't worth it. Sure they get granite and heavy DEF + Res but brutes aren't tanks, and granite is a tank toggle (-65% recharge!!!)

If u wanna give it a try go ahead... let me know if i was right

PS. Hejsa CD :-)

[/ QUOTE ]

im levelling my stone/stone brute atm and i recon shes pretty fun, im trying to get io's to cancel out the debuffs of granite, so if im in granite im hard to kill, and when im not in granite im a killing machine! (in theory.....)

[ QUOTE ]
Granite has only 15% resist, not at all extremely, altho with the 37,5% def it probarly feels like it.

[/ QUOTE ]

eh?

[ QUOTE ]
Hæ hæ as my scrapper did today i wil need to get Revive and 3 slot it with Recharge. But then again it may take awile with all my debt.

[/ QUOTE ]

how did you get debt with your regen?!

I would personally switch BFR with Freezing Touch, only had a quick skim through the build.

[ QUOTE ]
Raising the aggro cap slightly may have its implications, 17 isnt a normal figure, its a odd figure not like a "lets make it 20" figure. For me there is a reason for that figure.

16 tripmines I believe could hit the entire 100 and so Id agree with keeping that figure down and no I dont find /devs unbalanced at all so lets leave tripmine rechg well alone



[/ QUOTE ]

ive always wondered why its 17.....

[ QUOTE ]
How bout! return it to Pre ED and see what happens! Gosh I have no idea what could happen!

/devs ftw! Tanker herds mission to the door where there awaits 16 tripmines...

Aggro caps effect all players not just Tankers btw

[/ QUOTE ]

nah just the aggro cap, if they can as MaX said.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
If you taunted a 100 for a one hour duration and the aggro cap was 17 then you will have only 17 looking for you at any one time and any unaggro'd but taunted foes will not be able to attack other players who cant exceed the taunt duration.


[/ QUOTE ]It used to be that way when the aggro cap was added, but from what I've seen, nowdays they're quite happy to attack anyone in sight.

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah it does seem that way.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I think an increase in aggro cap would show the weakness of a fire tanks primary.

Other tanks would cope much more easily with bigger mobs

[/ QUOTE ]

just because you can aggro more, doesnt mean it would always be the best course of action. you'll still only be able to kill as fast because of AoE caps. i dont honestly think we'd know how it would affect us until it was on test, because so much has changed since the aggro cap was introduced.

[/ QUOTE ]

i think they should get rid of the aggro cap on test for a weekend, just to see what impact it has on the current gameplay.
