I've played so many brutes..and man this thread makes me so sad. If you really want to gimp damage and recharge and pick up stupid things to slot like air supiriority or actually slotting boxing which does so little damage be my guest. The key to slotting a brute and making him not only a threat on damage but not a horrible end hog you need to slot your shields. Although you should be slotting your attacks with at least some end redux in order to fully keep the end cost to a minimum, your shields are consistantly using x amount of end per second so keeping those to a minimum is a must. All and all if you want to be like jo jo which I had to tank mobs for on a stoner be my guest, but since he purples out all his builds I'd suggest loling at this thread and moving on. Even if you get the end under control you'll spend so little time actually killing things with a bad attack chain and not enough damages slotted that its really not even worth playing a brute. You can not waste any end and slot end redux in brawl but seriously who wants to do no damage. Jo Jo, please don't advise people when you need the advising yourself. Ty!
