TemerousNox

None of the pictures are loading for me in that article.

But a good read none-the-less. One of the groups I was definitely looking forward to learning more about.

I think I'll try rolling up a SS/DA brute for this one.

EDIT: Temerous Nox created and waiting in Praetoria.

I find myself urgently needing some money to make up for a shortfall in my income due to an extended absence from work over the past two months.

So, while I'm not as talented as some of the artists here, I'm hoping I can tempt a few people into commissioning me

EDIT: Oops! Thanks Bill

Thanks in advance for considering me.

Is it just me, or does it seem empty in the Training Room. Pocket D, Atlas, and RWZ were all ghost towns, when I checked.

In the process of trying to load Facebook, my computer crashed...

...twice

*facepalm*

Will try joining this on my Brute, Gwendolyn Diego

I'll be happy to bring my elec/dark brute Gwendolyn Diego

Good point. I haven't gotten any villain merits yet (went rogue for badges) so I didn't know what the priceing is. Thanks for that clarification.

Okay, thank you for that explanation.

I will definitely look at it. But I'm a bit concerned about the cost with all of the Luck of the Gambler slotted.

Regardless, this is my first attempt at planning out a build with invention sets, so I would appreciate feedback from people about it.

I appreciate the build, but I'm not really concerned about recharge time, and the additional toggles from Leadership and the additional global recharge are going to hurt my endurance problems rather than help.

Of course, if I'm wrong, feel free to explain why the build you offer is a solution. The character is concept, so I really don't want to switch away from Elec/Dark/Energy Mastery unless there's a really good reason to.

Now that red-siders have access to those delightful blue-side epic pools, I'm hoping to respec my level 50 brute into something a tad less squishy. I've had serious endurance issues in the past, but I'm hoping that Superior Conditioning/Physical Perfection will help mitigate that, so that I can actually afford to keep my shields up all the time.

Trying to avoid purple sets if at all possible, and I actually have a smattering of the more expensive of the recipes in this build already bought and crafted. While I slotted everything in at max... the exact levels aren't as critical to me.

Just looking for some feedback, from those who are a bit more experience than myself (this is my first high level melee toon).

I never found myself using Lightning Clap or Oppressive Gloom, no matter how useful they might be.

Thank you for the excellent guide. I have just one question.

Are these builds viable as leveling builds, or are they better used as a respec build. If the latter, at what level does respeccing into them become viable?

Thanks again!
