Ya, I just got my Ba/Wp to 9th lvl. It seems pretty decent, a bit annoying on the end usage, but alls good. I also noticed how horrible it is on building fury, as most of the mobs are dead before I can build it hehe. Thanks for the help. And your guide on Ba/Wp is very good, thanks man.

Does it still stand well during i14?
I just did a search, and it found absolutely nothing about Battle Axe. Is there a trick to doing a search? I just type in the search bar "Battle Axe" and set the search perameters for older than 1 week...Nothing...

Wow, Going through the posts here, I find absolutely nothing about Battle Axe. Its not even in the guide to guides...Not even showing that you can actualy choose it as a power, let alone a guide for it. Is Battle Axe that horrible that Ex refused to put it in the post for guide to guides? Also, is it that bad that noone talks about it or even uses it?
See that there is absolutely nothing about Battle Axe anywhere on the brute forums realy is peaking my interest...

Can someone tell me whats wrong with it?
What secondaries would synergize with it?

hrmm...Oddly enough, I dont seeything about Ba/. Heck, I dont even see it listed in the OP as a power that you can choose...Nice

Can you actualy farm decently with Dm/ElA? Meaning Lib. Yes its my new obsession hehe.

From what I understand its rediculasly expensive to cap anything on /Sd A friend of mine in game got a Ss/Sd up to 50 and after Ioing both both builds the best he could afford, he used all the respecs he could get and buy to get all the IO's back and put on his Ss/Wp brute...then he deleted it...Never saw anyone more frustrated in a LONG time than he was playing that squishy thing.

Hi there.
I am attmpeting to build a Farming toon. I have been running AE and Lib on my Ss/Invuln, but, meh, I dont care for that brute, something about it I guess.
So, in anticipation of i15 and Rogue, I am attempting to build a Dom Farmer. I made a fire/fire. It's only 6th lvl atm, but it seems pretty end friendly, and can wipe out mobs pretty quickly. But, I just watched a vid about a ice/ dom, and I started wondering about it...How would a Ice/Fire dom work for farming? Or any others for that matter. I dont realy want the FotM Fire/Psi or anything with min/ or /psi as I cant stand the sound fx from them both.
So, what are the fastest killing AoE Death Machine power sets in the Dom AT? I realize how important ST attacks are in farming so I am not discounting them as a secondary, as its pretty much nessessary.
Also, since I dont realy have much for ranged IO's that I can gut from alts, besides a few from my Crab, I need a low cost/high output build that is End friendly, but can farm nearly as good as the FotM.
I will mainly be farming Lib and AE for the 1500 tickets (ugh thats horrible) max output and Lib for drops and farming guildies. I may take it into RWZ occasionaly as well for some Rikti fun.
So, what are you guy's suggestions? Will my Fire/Fire work for this cheaply? Or should I go a different route? If you all suggest a different route, what is the cheapest to build for farming?
Thanks for any information/help you all give.

Hi there.
No going to go into details, but I absolutely HATE my Ss/Invuln...I dont want anything to do with either anymore, especialy for farming. Which is the only thing I realy do with him...Ok, enough about that...
I am looking for a brute that can wipe out large spawns faster than they can kill me.
Of course I will be farming Lib for the most part. Money is a little object...My curent main has roughly 200m worth of IO's on him, plus maybe another 100m worth of salvage, recipes, IO's on other alts I can gut to achieve what I am looking for.
From looking at Mids, there seems to be a few options;
Db/
ElM/
Fm/


And for Secondaries;
/Da
/ElA
/Fa
/Sd


My reasons for leaving out everything else is for character concept. What I have listed can fit in the peramitors of the concept I am working with.
The main reason I left out Sm is, I am not a monkey at a zoo flinging poo at people...Tho, now that I think about it, that would be pretty funny
So, any ideas what would work best out of what I have listed? I would like to start this toon this weekend sometime since its a long weekend, I could get far enough to decide if its going to work well enough for me or not.
Thanks in advance for all yor help with this.

Well now. This is the replies I was hoping for...Gotta say, if you know KotOR...you ARE a nerd and SW Fan hehe. Dont feel bad, I used to Pencil/Paper/Dice all the time with some friends years back.
Ok so, LordLundar, you narrowed the field down alot for me...I would prefer ranged, not getting my hands dirty, but I already have a MM, and realy cant stand them. Tho, I did a google search last night and found some of the original Sith Lords names and brief discriptions of each. One intrigued me and gods, do I realy wish I could use a whip. But, there is one of the original Sith Lords (After the reformation) that intrigued me alot. Darth Nihilus came out as one of the tops. All the Sith Lords are melee of some sort, including Sithius at one point of another.
I too was considering strongly going DB/ but wasnt quite sure on the secondary. So you think Wp, Sr, or Dark huh? Hrmm...All good suggestions. Ugh, wish there was a Regen for Brutes, I could work with that a bit more easily as according to Palpatine that there was one Sith Lord who could over come death...
Well, Definately thanks for the help. But I need to get some sleep for work, I will definately sleep on this and work on it this weekend.

Wow, Thanks for the link. That realy looks interesting...Now, I am wondering about the possibilities...THEY ARE ENDLESS!!!

Heya.
Well, this past week, I have been on a Star Wars Kick. Watched one per night, hehe. So, I have been roaming the boards, and asking questions on certain boards, but still not comming up with what I am attempting to find. So, I am posting in here with what I am hoping to find as my possible next main.
Basicaly, I want to make a Sith type. Ya know, maybe some holds, definately have to have Mu lightning. Maybe Duel Blades. Hide...Who knows. Especialy when the Force is with someone (LOL Love that crap after 6 days of getting extremely drunk watching these movies) anything is possible. Hell, Personaly, I wouldnt even rule out an Earth dom or Ar Cor...
And actualy with i15 just around the corner ( Might be a huge corner, who knows?) any AT would work to get started on.
So, anyone out there who is a Star Wars fan and can help me out with making one in CoV?
Thanks in advance for any and all help

Ugh. Ok thanks

Wow, thanks for the RedTomax, that realy helps! I cant believe the power pools are almost as good as tier 1 attacks...Thats sick!
Thanks again

How are Ice/ Dom's secondary effects (slows) in PvP?

I have read a post or 2 where people claim to have seen video's for i15...I cant seem to find anything about it. Of course I havent googled it. I would think that they would be posted here some place on the forums, wouldn't they?
So, if there are videos about i15, cold someone point me in the right direction please?

Well, simply put;
Are Power Pool Attacks just as useful in PvE as in PvP?

Ok, While tooling around with my characters befre work this morning, I started wondering about my Bane/Crab...
I have taken my Bane into SC a few times, I usualy loose a fight, but I have won a couple here and there. So, it makes me wonder...Can my Bane/Crab be pretty decent in PvP?
What about a HUntsman? Knowing that the Huntsman runs mostly on Bane Stealth and a couple of powers, I started thinking that maybe...JUST maybe, with the Webnade and a few others, it just might work. I know my crab is absolutely Horrible in pvp as its mostly AoE, But a Huntsman on the other hand...Stealth, Webnade, Executioners strike, webnade, and blast the heck out of them with what ever I have in my arsonal...
I still havent used my 3rd respec trial's respec, so...Maybe I can gut my Crab, take what he has for the limited IO's and work from that...
Does anyone think that it can be done? Or would it mostly be just an annoyance?
I also realize that I would have to have both SS and Sj...What else would be usable for a huntsman?
I considered rerolling my stalker, but since I have my bane at 50, why not just attempt to use him instead?
Any ideas or comments?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Ok cool, thank you for the input.

Hi there.
After taking both my Bane and my Ss/Invuln through several PvP zones, both winning and loosing fights, I am considering rolling a Stalker. to use just for Zone PvPing. It will mostly be SC, but I plan on hitting up some of the others.
Some time back I remember reading that Ma/ was supposed to get buffed for PvP...Did the rumers come true? Is Ma/ Viable on a stalker for PvP?
If its not, I am also considering Electric/.
My next quandry is this;
/Regen
/Wp
/Ea
Out of those, which would be the better to use with what I am choosing as a primary?
As I am still in the planning stage, Anything is viable. I can gut my Bane for IO's for the stalker. I think I have about 200m worth of IO's on him...
Thanks in advance for what ever help you all give.

Ugh, I cant believe this post is starting to fall behind in the posts, This is too great a post to fall behind. Personaly, I think it should be a sticky

LOL after IOing my Bane, I cant afford the 30m + for a stealth IO. I dont know, the Huntsman just "Feels" right to me more than a Crab does.

Well guys, Thanks for all the useful and (Some I might add) not so useful information. I did end up going with the Huntsman, mainly for the TF's I normaly go on. Personaly, after playing both the Crab AND the Huntsman on MANY TF's on my trip to 45th lvl, I can honestly say this; The Crab can not stealth past the mish to the end and help the team as much as a Huntsman can. My VG only does FAST Sf's and TF's. If you cant stealth, your dead weight. I still havent seen Aisynia's guide yet, still trying to find it as its not posted in her sig. I havent done my last respec as of yet, but I am planning on it today/tonight.
Personaly, the viability of a Huntsman on TF's that require speed far out weighs the Crab taking double leadership; Mainly because if you not only take double leadership but also take the invis pool, you loose what a Crab is all about. But on a Huntsman, Invis comes built in and you sacrifice what...SS? Sj? I dont use those anyway, I buy the jet packs from GV for movement. Anyway, I realy appreciate all the realy useful info everyone gave (Well most everyone hehe).
Thanks again guys and Gals

hrmm...Ok, so, which is better support for a good team? I am guessing a Crab because of all the team toggles right?
And yes, I know. Just trying to make my mind up since I like both the Huntsman and the Crab, but my main on that is a Bane. hrmm...Maybe I will just keep it the way it is and just make a seperate crab...Sounds like a plan...Thanks guys

What are the pro's and con's between the Crab and the Huntsman? I am trying to decide between the two for my other build...My Main build is a Bane, and I absolutely love him. But, depending on what TF I am doing or what type of team I am on, decides on which build (Bane/Huntsman(Maybe Crab)) that I would use.
Are the Crab powers better than the Wolf powers?
Since the Huntsman uses mostly Bane armor types, does that make it more livable than the Crab?
Against an AV, on a team, which would fare better; Crab or Huntsman?
I am currently in RWZ lvling up, using my Huntsman. Alot of my attacks are getting deflected...Would that be the same with the Crab? I dont have any procs for damage, I probably will never be able to afford to buy Dam Procs, as I am attempting to get full sets for my Bane and which ever my secondary build will be (Crab or Huntsman).

Ack, Ok thanks.
