What IS it about Brutes, tho?
I'm an alt-o-holic, and over half my alts (plus my main) are Brutes. Yet I can't really figure out what's so attractive about 'em. No ranged, no flashy stuff... I mean, compare the other inherents / AT-specific stuff: domination is flashy and a huge power boost, stalkers' crits + assassin's strike = huge burst damage, MMs are a unique AT, and while the first tier pets are kinda boring, the higher tier ones are cool. But both Brutes and Corruptors just get "higher damage the more you fight", if in different ways.
So WHY? Why can't I stop playing Brutes, when I find half the other ATs more interesting? What is it about the SMASH that holds me so? Back when I started beta, I decided I'd have either a Dominator main with a MM alt, or the other way around, and prooobably a Brute alt I'd play at odd times. Now, I hardly ever play non-Brutes. I don't get it. All Brutes do is SMASH stuff. No ordering pets around, no firing ranged powers, no buffs, no debuffs, no "cool" stuff. Just pure unadulterated SMASH. Perhaps that's the key... the simplicity of the issue.
I need help. =/
