Cheaters :P

Gratz!

You can't go wrong with SS/Elec. It's realy fun running perma-rage and draining your opponents. I could solo Mayhems on the 4h level of difficulty (but not on thr 5th, since it spawns a Hero).

/Fire is really good too IMO. At least for my play-style. You can revover end, heal yourself, etc.

Gratz mate!

Wow! Gz m8! I wish I was onine when you dinged

Gratz mate!

And BTW, Smurfnof Ice is one of the best names I've ever seen in the game!

Both Scrappers and Stalkers have the same defense score. And yes, the staker has the AoE defense auto (Lucky) replaced with Hide.

Actually, If I have problems with spines scrappers thats the sets fault. It offers NO toxic defense.

Yes, I expect not being seen in RV if I run Hide+Invisibility. Few Heroes will be able to see me in close range.

Yes, I know how end drain works. As you said, I've done the LRSF with you with my /ELEC Brute. In RV, I use the same tactics you described about toggle dropping. And I can do that because I have lots of Health and a solid damage resistance, and thats without mentioning my 2 Accolades that grant me +15% Health.

All I'm saying mate is that EA Stalkers are slightly worse than the other sets when it comes to PvP and defense. Well, I dunno about DA. You are a EA Brute, so you have more hit points and can stand longer, and that allows you to use end drain as an offensive weapon. Besides, you dont have Hide and cant stack stealth powers

You cant fight the way you are used to with a EA Stalker. It's like a /DA Brute trying to teach how a /DA Stalker should play or PvP. The ATs are totally different.

Everything you said works for Brute.

Each player has a different play-style. I tried an EA once and had a good time (even took Repel lol), but after trying SR, I deleted the former. And I still hear or read things like "if you took SR, why not Nin! It's uber blah blah" :P

Cya on the next LRSF

I would have thought Dark/SR would be rather tasty (and to a lesser extent Dark/Ninj or Dark/Energy) due to the defence armour and -tohit debuff of dark melee?

I got a DM/SR stalker. It's a very good combo IMO.

I dont have Agile neither Dodge right now, but after 3 hits purple bosses will hit only a few attacks.

30% defense + AS + Smite + Shadow Punch gives me 45%. And I still have to get the auto powers. Besides, Siphon Life works as a mini heal, which coupled with Hasten and Quickness will allow you to heal 10-20% (depends on your slotting) every 10 seconds or so.

Of course, this combo has its disadvantages. For instance, my DPS is lower than some sets like EM. At least Neg Nrg isnt so resisted

I tried a lot of stalkers before I7 and gave up on the AT. This is the only combo that made me want play one.

Fire/Fire is decent on its own, it just doesnt have a god mode. And with the recent changes on Healing Flames, he is even better.

Forget about Weave. Though is a good ideia, although I prefered the Presence Pool for damage mitigation. And it has a mini-Taunt.

*COUGH*

Energy Aura can be great in pvp, mainly due to the auto hit end drain hehe, it's funny to see the enemy wondering why their toggles are droppin the same way as their end, then its TF/ET/Placate/AS, all over

[/ QUOTE ]

OK, try it on RV. Most PvP Heroes will see you, those spines scrappers will kill you fast and you dont have time to use the end drain if you can die in 2 hits.

The end drain is great for PvE Stalkers. A good PvP Stalker doesnt run out of end.

I would like to join with my stalker, Back Wind.

I already have the badges, but count on me. It's really fun!

This is the build I'm playing atm. Feel free to use it :P

If you dont lan to PvP and dont wanna run out of end, get EA.

I tried both, but I chose SR because the set has Quickness, debuff resistance and + perception. But I had a lt of fun with my EA stalker before I deleted it.

Why can't you start your post with: "I talked to a Brute without temp inv the other day. I would like t know your opinions." ?

Your "transcription" doesnt add anything to the subject, it only brings unecessary fights to this forum. Keep them away from here.

Now, I dont have a /inv brute (although I'm about to make a Tanker). IMHO, temp inv is essential, but if you can manage without it, I woud like to know your strategie Lord Bashing.

Don't worry about Weave... the defense bonus is negligible and /elec is about resistance. Tough is a good ideia, but get it after Aid Self.

Leave the Leadership Pool to Corrs and MMs. They have the biggest bonuses, specially Corrs. For Brutes, it's just a waste of End IMHO, specially with 3-4 corrs on the team.

I have a fire/fire and a SS/Elec.

My first vl 50 was my fire/fire Brute. I did the LRSF 5 times with him and all I can say is that the tier 9 is useless. If you wanna a good team to finish the SF you need at least 2 corrs, maybe more. And they will probably be able to rez you. Besides, Brutes are the last ones to fall in the final mish (usually), and why would you use a self rez if almost everyone is dead?

Now, the elec tier 9 is handy. Usually I charge with 4 purples and keep using more as they run out. There will come a time in the fina battle that most of the team will fall and the rezzes will begin. It's your job to get the attention of the Heroes and Power Surge will allow you to stand and fight.

Of course, I'm taking about a regular LRSF team. I've been on teams in which we killed all the Heroes in the first run.

One more thing:

Psi damage - Numina, Sister Psyche
Nrg damage - Synapse, Positron, Citadel

Elec armor has Psi res and a huge Nrg res.

er... making 4 in all?

Exactly

I took Super Speed before my first respec because I would take Hasten anyway. And I hated the lack of vertical movement in areas whse lvl range were bigger than mine. Then I decided to take Hover and Fly for 2 reasons: vertical movement and KB mitigation. Although AM gives some good resistance (NOT protection) to some mezzes, it doesnt protect you from KB.

Besides, I prefer not to slot my lvl 49 power, so Super Speed is a good choice.

I have a Rad/Rad Corruptor. Same powersets, but my primary is your secondary and vice-cersa. All I did was inverse my build and slt it again as I would if I was a Defender.

And btw, please, use the Hero Builder to post your builds! Your pic doesnt allow me to check when you slotted each attack, and we also need to know how do you plan to play your Hero at level 50.

Actually slotting Agile with 3 defenses will grant almost 10% of melee defense. Pretty good IMO.

Gratz mate! Just like when I dinged with Fu

Again, I knew you would say something about that lol

Let the HOs come! And Respecs, I need some too...

Just a suggestion: why dont you make a Dom and write on both his and your scrappers Bio that they are nemesis. He doent need to be lvl 40. I usually do that with my own toons hehe

Sheep, I dont know if you are aware of the disconnection problems that the last patch brought us. If someone disconnects durinf a TF, this person will be kicked out of the team and wont be able to complete it.

Perhaps you should wait for the next patch. I would join you with my Stalker but I dont wanna risk losing an hour just to leave with empty hands.

After reading your opinions regarding power choices, I decided to stick with this build. What do you think?

I'm not sure about the lvl 49 power.
