    Why the vitriol from others? Loads of the congrats to whoever posted in the various forums on their latest 50s are for toons that are powerlevelled.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    i think the negative comments are coming more because the people posting about the 50's are making it sound like a big impressive thing.. they dont think it is imprssive PL'ing a character to 50 then bragging about doing it i guess. personally dont see the point in it at all but if thats how people wanna play doesnt bother me.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Boasting about this "acheivement" is pretty sad. Critising it is not much better.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I wasnt critising just pointing out why there was so much negative commenting.... i wont say gratz to this thread but i wont condem them on the forums either. but if others want to it sure makes for an amusing thread!

    EM v's SS

    If your going Willpower i would say SS is your best bet... if only for one simple reason. Footstomp! the whole idea of WP is to have as many enemies as close as posible to maximise regen rates... the knockdown AoE of footstomp means you can easily do this while keeping enemies from hitting you... its all win
    got my SS/WP brute to 50 and he's insanely tough, a simple attack chain of all the knockdown attacks means that i just dont get hit much so rarely ever drop health below 1/2 and if i do it regens back up mighty quick!

    Willpower Brute

    put it in fast healing... and also buy a numina heal IO... the set bonus for just 2 is (i think of top of my head + 10% regen... which rocks for WP... but if ya can spare put it in a 4th slot so u have 3 heals and the +regen +recovery to make the most of it

    Wow, this reply was so unhelpful. See you mate.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You unhelpful..... i never heard such a thing!!! have fun at work... see ya later for Freak carnage!
  6. exactly like the title suggests, this is the plan im thinking of respecing into when i hit lvl 47 and want some opinions.... can afford nearly all the IO's and sets (obviously i know i cant slot the armageddon til i hit 50 so will put something else in foot stomp for time being)

    DA or EA??

    havent had any experience of EA but have got a DA brute to 50 (with DM as primary which i think compliments it best). All i can say was it was the hardest toon to play of any i've got to high levels. imo its certainly not good for using as a tank style brute, against big mobs you dont have enough resistance, no defence and the heal wont recharge quick enough... solo or duo its great fun! only when fighting big groups is it a problem. it is however a great fun set to play as with oppressive gloom, cloak of fear you have some ability to play the toon in several different ways.
    the biggest issue with DA however is end usage, its terrible, especially if you run death shroud, i combated this by taking DM as primary due to its AoE end recovery which is damn nice. (as well as extra heal)
    overall after that blabbering... DA is a fun set with several combinations to try and see what works, howeer it is fairly squishy for a brute and can be hard work at times
    Helpful?

    VEAT video.

    [ QUOTE ]
    it just says "video not found" for me

    [/ QUOTE ]

    yeah its doing that for me now... wasnt earlier though, maybe some website problem... think its mentioned that they were gonna put more info up later so could be related to that.. or could be we both have misbehaving internet!
  9. [ QUOTE ]
    Finally I am pretty certain I want to go for stamina, I think every character can greatly benefit from this, but would the powers be better used?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    tbh i dont think that you'll NEED stamina.. sure its useful but especially if you slot an end red in each attack then stamina isnt of much benefit... maybe think about taking it 30 or later.. but quick recovery is far better and the 3 powers required to have stamina could be much better used elsewhere
  10. [ QUOTE ]
    Do you get a badge for defeating Caleb?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yes... Hellbane
  11. i've got lvl 50 kat/regen and love, it, is pretty easy and good to solo alot with, never really got into SR, i like the emergency buttons on regen, gives a sense of danger but control at the same time. never needed fighting pool and leaves plenty of choices to vary the aproach, dont even NEED stamina, although it is stil very useful.
  12. i'd be interested in bringing my ill/kin along, but might not be able to make 7:30 as dont finsh work til 7, if ya can hold til 8 i can def be there
  13. Slightly_Miffed

    Phil hits 50!

    congratualtions my man... one question? u more happy about hitting 50 or getting the badge that comes along with that??

  14. well first off WELCOME BACK MAN been far too long, we missed you for sure. cant wait til you get back on...
    u missed alot mate, ara dinged 50, i made a non scrapper and enjoyed it, leth died alot (some things dont change) been a few changes to the game but nothing that gonna shock ya silly, although ED might upset you if you missed that!!
    will catch up on the rest when you get back mate
    havent really got into villains yet myself, not a patch on heroes imo, but it doesnt help that all the best people and my mates play on heores still, so teaming in villains sucks a bit. but im sure i can be persuaded to create another brute and come join u if you make a villain up.

    also
    [ QUOTE ]
    ,at long last we will have someone that can actaully handle aggro unlike the insane Anduril and the even more insane Leth

    [/ QUOTE ] i take that as two personal insults SL...
    one) i can handle agro amazingly well.. i charge in, get loads of agro cause mayhem, maybe die, probably use MoG, definetly swear, where's the problem?
    two) I AM FAR MORE INSANE THAN LETH
  15. i need to do numina TF and in lvl range for the first 2 shards ones, am on from about 8 most evenings let me know if you gonna do one
    global is @anduril if wanna shout me
  16. Slightly_Miffed

    Sorry Daydream

    hehe no worries mate, u missed some good fun and a very impressive face plant at the feet of adamastor
    hope you get it all sorted soon
  17. i would slot it not sure of the actual figures but did find a difference after putting 3 SO's in there, also need 3 end red SO's due to its very heavy end cost, would do end red first though as you dont wanna loose it at a bad time... my debt badges will tell you that!!
  18. [ QUOTE ]
    However, as pointed out in a previous thread, with AoE hold + Fulrcrum shift, you really want to think about going down the fire ancillary for Fireball.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    also this RULES
  19. a few suggestion on the build.
    get superior invisiblity as soon as possible, the bonus to defense is very helpful and its a very good power to have at early lvl's
    flight is not really needed imo, with siphon speed and also inertial reduction you have 2 built in travel powers.
    this charcter type is also VERY heavy on endurance, try to get stamina by lvl 20, 22 at teh latest
    repel... dont bother, it is of very very little use
    phantom army needs 3 recharge as its best used to keep agro off you rather than as an actual attack

    this is how i built my ill/kin, just hit 42 (and yes for those that pay attention to a previous post i didnt dump deceive, lost siphon power instead... was just too funny seeing AV's wiping out their own minions!!!)

    however these are all my opinions and have been told many different things by many different people
    (also stick with it, my first 15 odd levels were a nightmare and i nearly gave up... now im loving it!!)
  20. cheers for all the help people, gone with fire mastery and got 2 more bars til i use my respec ast 42...
    will losse deceive although probably gonna get it with either lvl 47 or 49 power just for the fun of turning AV's on their minions

    also hey light_petting and nightwalker, long time no see guys hope u all ok. should try and catch up sometime.
  21. im totallly biased as i have a lvl 50 kat/regen, but it really is great, dont see how MA is so much more a boss killer (but i never used one, just teamed with one). some of the katana attacks have excellent damage and also knock targets down which is useful especially when solo'ing, divine avalanch for defense buff is very useful too.
    plus i love the look of it. in the end there is not much diference between the scraper sets i nregards to one being far better than the rest
  22. have just hit 41 and not sure what epic to get with my ill/kin- as cant actually log in to servers right now trying to decide what to do.
    pretty sure that i want to go with firball as im thinking flash+containment+fulcrum shift+firball is gonna do some serious damage. one minor problem with that is i dont have flash, so what do i respec out? or do i get another epic pool (i only PvE not a fan of PvP at all)
    im torn between loosing siphon power, deceive or hover (use hover when fighting AV's GM's and getting to badges)
    any opinions would be appreciated
  23. If you do have a spare SK place i'd love to come along with my controller, will be lvl 40 by tomorow evening.
