  1. SS/SD is an excellent offensive Brute, but lacks in the 'tanking/survivability' department when compared to other builds.

    I use it as a debuff primarily, but if the hold lands I'm not going to complain.
  3. Detailed info is usually correct, but there's always those oddball powers with @55-backwards mechanics that require a bit more observation.

    When in doubt, consult City of Data

    Only the debuff portion is (-1000% regen, -30% rech). The Hold portion does have a tohit check, however.

    How is a "Melee range Point Blank AoE" (which is itself redundant) different to a "Point Blank AoE" ?

    Yes.

    Pets and Sets

    Pseudo pets such as Tornado, Lightning Storm and Freezing Rain do inherit all +dam and +acc bonuses from the caster (and +rech too before the great i14 nerf)

    Now this of course doesn't mean you can't spend billions setting out a character but you certainly fill up a toon with decent sets for under 400M. No purples obviously or the odd really expensive unique but enough to make most toons able to waltz through missions.
    400m can buy you a grand total of 2x Kinetic Combat triples and maybe an LotG +rech.

    It's the second best possible DPS chain with Fire Melee, only marginally below the top chain, with significantly lower recharge requirements. I'm not sure on the specifics, but I can run it seamlessly with 89% recharge slotted on Incinerate (and every other attack for that matter), 62.5% global recharge and Hasten up.
  12. 400m is too little to seriously consider IO'ing a toon.

    Take those 400m, invest them on the Market and turn them into 2 billion, and then you can make a nice build with typed defense bonuses, +health, +regeneration and +recharge (in that order)

    Unless my math is WAY off. Which, given how horrible my math skills are, is possible.
    If you have FoN activated in mids, it'll show it as ALL powers being permanently affected by FoN

    You're confusing Elusivity with Disminishing Returns, which applies/reduces all stats in PvP environments, not just defense
  15. It's not like any AT can PvP now.

    No, you can't.

    What you can do, is reroll over and over until you score a toon with the "right" scientists

    Brute for RSF

    For tanking RSFs I recomend Elec and Dark armor. Dark Melee can also help you survive while tanking with it's self heal, and Kinetic Melee can deal -dam debuffs through your AoE attacks

  22. Unless you're a min/maxer trying to maximize your DPS against AVs or GMs, redraw may only have a minor impact on your overall gameplay
