Quote:I picked up Tough/Weave when I first started building my Elec/Shield and softcap I didn't like the extra endurance strain running the toggles and that I couldn't recooperate fast enough before jumping into the next mob.
work towards aid self (Which should be in every /shield build, period)
I ended up dropping Tough/Weave for Stimulant/Aid-Self to spend extra money to softcap. Doing this had made a world of difference. To pickup Aid-Self is highly recommended. -

I've done surprisingly well with my claws/sr in the last week. Apparently the addition of elusivity made SR viable again. Kind of. -
I have a SS/Invuln that I guess I can share... its my final build that I play as my main. It only has a purple set but the PvP IOs are what makes it an expensive build. Keep in mind that it doesn't have Taunt and I spec'd for PvE.
3,157maxhp w/ DP
33hp/s w/o DP (roughly)
45hp/s w/ DP (roughly)
S/L Resistance 80% (60% in PvP)
I'll have to edit and post the build when I get home. -

QFT.
I personally have no problems with those who want to tank on their brutes or be aggro sponges on their brutes or what have you. I simply don't like people who tell me that because they prefer to play that way, or they know others who do, I should as well. I'm not concerned about the teams health on my brute. I am not concerned about aggro. I am only concerned about SMASH and that has worked well for me for 3 years.
If you truly didn't care about others you would probably enjoy solo play as you don't need anyone but yourself -- RPers lulz -

Was fun, especially getting a Blazing Bolt kill on a flying Bot/Poison MM hehe.
See you next Thursday, maybe I'll bring a Broot or Corr next time. -
That was fun. Look forward to next week playin' with familiar faces once again.

Quote:Tankers have low damage. Can't accept Super Strength's Rage to make up for the ATs weakness. Even with set bonuses alone won't make up a fraction of a Brutes damage output with built up fury.Originally Posted by Atheism
My tanks don't have low damage, thank you. I'll still be rolling tanks after GR hits because tanks are what brutes are not, tough.

What does a tanker being tougher than a brute in pve have to do with a Granite pvping?
-
Quote:Pokin fun at the fact that Granite Tanks are pitiful in PvP (one time you can say your tanker isn't "tough". My Brute is far from squishy as its IO'd to the hilt.Originally Posted by Atheism
Seriously? A Granite? I'm going to guess your brute is pretty squishy if you need to fight a Granite tank.

Nice work, St0n3y. I had updated my Mids build with the PvP IOs I have in-game and the specs were right on the money. Many thanks once again. I can rely on the accuracy of the builds I have planned.
-
Good stuff. Gives me a chance to get off my rear end with a deadline to get my builds done spec'd for PvP.
-
I had completely forgot about this. Wasn't much interested in it, though =(
-
Just forget about the whole intention of how an AT is supposed to be played and play it on what fits your playstyle.

Quote:Exactly.
The thing is, the brute IS tanking in that scenario, just not in the traditional tanker "meat shield" fashion.
Just because the mechanics are different, in a team setting, the roles are the same. Brutes are not tanks, this is true enough, and the way they play is different if played well. A tank, in a group, has one job, and that is to get the attention of all mobs and keep it on him, damage is secondary. Brutes grab the attention of the mobs by putting out tons of damage. Too many people compare brutes to scrappers, and too many try to make them tanks. The reality is they are almost dead in between, and if played well, can be both at the same time. -
Quote:Whats the definition of "Tanking" in CoX?Originally Posted by Sitriel
This.
Funny enough this far more often than not does the trick and people actually believe the brute is tanking.
-
Just gonna comment that from my experience that /Stone and /Invuln are only sets to nearly cap max hp due to Dull Pain and Earth's Embrace least on redside.
Takes quite a bit of work to get stats nearly comparable to Tanks that are SO'd. Any set can prob Tank with the help of your teammates and managing your insps.
Welcome to the game, btw. -
Took me a good 10m to find the Run Command. Turned out to be the lil search bar at the bottom of the Start Menu.

Yeah, Dark Miasma does very little to help you in PvP. You'd pretty much be relying on the awesomeness of Fire Blast to pull you through, which it won't once someone uses Heat Exhaustion or Infrigidate+Benumb on you.

Stupid... stupid... stupid
I would have tried to take a snap shot but Windows 7 doesn't seem to like it. When I paste the image into Paint it brings up a black screen every time. Gonna revert back to XP now that I have a recovery disc just too lazy to do it. Although, I'm really likin' the OS. -
Does well in PvP to boot.

Happy Birthday, bro.

Personally, I have 2x accounts that I used in the Arena to help me farm damage. I level a toon that I plan to IO out to level 40-45 and put him in Rest with a level 50 EM/WP Brute with Energy Transfer on auto over night. Does roughly 2,500hp of damage per attack every 9-11s and get the 10M mark by 12-15 hours.
Have to have DR and TS OFF.
Yet, to test how much damage is dealt from a level 50 to a level 1 toon.
