right...
drop all the extra slots on EP and move them to TF IF you aint lvl 50 yet lol, in pve and warburg upards it comes in DAMN handy, even at lvl 50 i'd still have slots in TF as well cause chances are you wont just be pvping in sc all the time(warburg, arena RV etc)

Do a few RSF runs, but not in my team Im sick of stalkers wanting to do RSFs.

[/ QUOTE ]
why? a good stalker is just as good a contrib- to the rsf team as any other AT on it, rsf are a TEAM effort and each AT/set brings something with them to the RSF that helps, point of fact stalkers can spawn a mission map fast, cutting down the time needed to do the whole RSF overall, their AS can tear CHUNKS out of things health, with my stalker (who aint done the rsf YET) in a 4 mob spawn i can usualy take ALL of the mob out solo team wise, if SB'd i can and have out killed brutes against mobs....

- "passive mode" (to be hit) : you have to be hit, so resistance-based brutes have the advantage (since the defense reduce the chances to be hit).

[/ QUOTE ]

WRONG - doesn't matter if you hit or miss or if you are hit or not, just ANY attacks either way builds fury

in a 1 vs 5 pvp, you're dead anyway)

[/ QUOTE ]
NOT always, depends what you facing sets/at/players wise etc, hammerfall can testify to this one with one of my brutes in sc and other times i can face plant VERY fast against them odds lol

[ QUOTE ]
At low levels, all brutes build it rather slowly

[/ QUOTE ]

only cause you have less attacks avail and gen so do most of the pve enermies your facing.

[ QUOTE ]
you've got the same movement problems as with Rooted, plus the -Recharge and some -Damage.

[/ QUOTE ]

you got WORSE movement with granite active then just rooted, both combined means you are gonna take 1H just to cover approx 300yards without using tp :P there's also the -acc as well. the -damage is a problem for tanks less so for brutes due to fury, your using granite then agro grabbings the best way lol

[ QUOTE ]
Personnally I skip only the PBAE from the secondary, because of its end cost (but it's useful against stalkers in warburg or in arena)

[/ QUOTE ]
personaly i wouldn't, its all extra damage as well, and the slow from it's useful as well, pve its good for getting and keeping agro ontop of taunt (personaly i didn't get mudpots till lvl 44, took it as primary agro grabber for RSF, 47 taking taunt on top of, for keeping agro on me.

[ QUOTE ]
A brute running both will be most unbrutish

[/ QUOTE ]
not really, high def and res, mez protection going and also boosted HP regen, using mudpots and taunt to keep things on you and it's not so much an issue, pvp wise, kins, rads and psi are your worst enermies lol

sorry i've taken parts from diff posts here lol, just answering things that caught my atten on things lol

and hasten almost stops that effect altogether, but only for a short amount of time.

[/ QUOTE ]
erm NOPE it doesn't....
takes hasten & SB to get you back upto speed attack recharge wise in granite, personaly i'd prefer running round in the other armours to trying to use granite for fighting in, granites nice as a panic button or where you expect to be taking lots of nasty agro (cov side last misson on RSF to name one)

These might hop around, run back and forth while the stony has to follow them...

break down of the elec/elec powers from US forums

think hammerfall can testify to the survivability of dm/fa in SC from me being in on mine the other night :P
and yes i do have tough on mine, helped a LOT post lvl 40, without when issue 7 went live was kinda like being the uber squishy lol

true, but all comes down to AT,sets & player fury might only be extra damage, but seem to remember reading a post saying with max fury amoung other things brutes can hit upto +850% damage..... crits can turn a match around fast, but so can fury

[ QUOTE ]

The Green Witch is my main badge hunter, but with her being a Dominator and all I'm painfully aware that any team leader would have to be completely deranged to choose her over my Corruptor for the LRSF.

[/ QUOTE ]

nope, green me soul and CP proved this SF can be done with diff mixes of ATs INCLUDING doms, point of fact we had git elfling along on one >
play what you want not what peeps want you to, it's a game and you playing for fun lol

@trix shots (aka grief returned)

maybe depending on armour set
and usualy thats a tohit/def buff(or debuff)/end reduct
tohit/def buff/end reduct is good for someone with vengence
res/end more useful sheild wise to brutes

[ QUOTE ]
have it pretty easy in those zones.

[/ QUOTE ]
sometimes, and sometimes not depends who/what ATs are in

[ QUOTE ]

but your never going to have to deal with those people in wb or rv becasue they are afraid to go there so theres really nothing to worry about.

[/ QUOTE ]

*cough* take it speaking for union side there?

[ QUOTE ]
i learned my lesson very early on about trying to solo pvp zones with a squishy. Despite what soem people might tell you, those stalekrs aint goin for the tank or scrapper first, they are goin for the defenders and trollers. Kill two birds with one stone, bye bye buffs/holds and hello more rep points.

[/ QUOTE ]
Bye Bye fort/CM/heals and res along with some nasty debuffs depending on the troller/def sets(friend of mine has a earth/force troller, he has fun in SC watching stalkers come swarming then getting held KBd etc , rep? well that's just part of the process. and doesn't matter if on a brute, stalker, corr, MM or DOM the support ATs are going to be mosts primary targets, and same applies to heroes when they after the vilians, gank the MM/dom/corr first, brutes etc second...

[ QUOTE ]
Just make sure you can't be 2-shotted by them and you're fine

[/ QUOTE ]
helps if you are paying atten when the flying EM stalker floats up next to you and... :P

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
HOW many ways out the base would you like?

[/ QUOTE ]
How far do expect to get?
If your forced into a defending strategy surely it makes more sense to defend the area with all the drones and machine guns/10 million long bow. Seems more clever than making a break for the rings anyway.


[/ QUOTE ]
very far

now what's that old chest nut the best defence...

slip round the back/sides, fly hdie whatever lol, if someone with team teleport (even the temp power one...) nips out and gets in the back of the heroes, can the hit them from a direction they wont gen be watching and if one or 3 emps happen to be floating round the back somewhere... :P
it's a long enough time getting back from heros hosp all the way back the villian base lol

[ QUOTE ]
It can easily be prevented by backing off from the base a little.

[/ QUOTE ]
unless the other person has it slotted 3 acc and 3 range...

[ QUOTE ]
Teledroning (that is, teleporting other players into the 'guard' drones) isn't really griefing in my opinion, because it's only ever used as a tactic when one side has the other side completely locked down to their base.

[/ QUOTE ]
where as repeatedly doing so far as i know does come under griefing, their inten droning the same person over and over and over....

someone starts Tping peeps out of base to be ganked i usualy if on the same side tell them to stop, teledroning and base TPing just encourages others to do it, also as for "locked down in the base" erm SC HOW many ways out the base would you like?

[ QUOTE ]
The only problem i see you having is with /dev as most are flyers thing is they will spot you a mile off with Targeting Drone and tactics so you'll probably end up getting net grened and sniped

[/ QUOTE ]
flying defiance sniping /devs, MEH BORING, same with the teleminer... /dev can do so much more, this is kinda like stalkers that rely on the old crutch AS all the time then complain in a pvp zone they cant get off AS... >

most flying /devs tend to go for snipe first... :P fly towards, placate soon as in range, ET, drop fly to follow stunned squishy to ground, kicking fly in again just before you hit ground, BU & AS=dead squishy
sometimes thinking out of the box helps :P

i'd swap hover for air supp-, 1 -fly, hiya flying defiance sniping squishy with insps, "hey guys pressie" and secondly it also crits from hide as well(slot it 1 acc at least, also it's a knock up attack, i got it on one of my EM stalkers, lets me fire off ALL of my attacks in pve once before having to hit placate :P hello MR purple boss :P
also soon as lvl 30 hit warburg and do a patrol for the temp power phase, it's damn handy in sirens call, and sometimes being phased lets you act as bait for others to jump the heroes :P funny they seem to have a we can gank it in 2 secs flat, so a stalker phased is kinda like a red rag to a bull but no risk till it drops :P
AS slotting wise, you getting VERY little extra for the extra damage slotted, DEF change it for another acc or a decrease interupt time.
bone smasher change the dis- for 1 extra acc and damage or acc recharge etc, personaly i'd go for acc and damage, but that's personal pref.
EP change the dis- duration to acc.
hide i'd lose 2 of the slots and move them 1 to fly for extra speed and the other to fighting or senses for an end reduct in them.
BU i'd personaly swap out the tohits for recharges, better it comes up fast as, cause it affects more than 1 attack so many as well have it ready to go more often

health max slot lol i find every little helps, and i'd drop dodge in favour of quickness, +recharge, AND +speed
recharge especialy on EM, otherwise might wanna see about hasten cause EM aint exactly the quickest of recharging powers
placate i'd move to earlier, taking it this is a planned respec build but...you malfacter down past 28 or go bloody bay(shivans)=no placate
invis is def a way to go on stalkers in SC, specialy when there's emp in giving CM to peeps...., they do give my ar/dev some trouble in sc lol, depends who can get something off first, me with caltrops or them with AS etc
also dont just focus on trying to go for AS most of the time in SC, sometimes better hitting ET instead cause there's times when you AINT gonna have the time to fire off AS without someone hitting you
ET you might wanna consider moving to you lvl 28 power, but that's upto you
just me 2 cents worth, and it's the diff in peeps builds that make each alt unique be boring if everyone was a cookie cutter build :P

you'll also be happy to know, once you get TF as well, in warburg with normal spawns of the spittters, you can usualy wipe the floor with the spitters round a tech so makes getting nuke codes VERY easy and the techs follow you even if you hidden, as a dom found out against me other day . i'd also if i were you see about picking up demonic accolade per lvl 31, so it's avail in sc upwards, pve wise, demonic and SB means you can usualy out kill brutes on mobs :P and it's damn handy for the crash with elude :P

now gone, gave to a friend as a birthday present as couldn't be there to give her a present in RL

and doesn't lucky also give some extra against secondary effects of attacks like end drains, also you might wanna consider swapping manuvers for assualt, gives placate resistance which means should be shifting the effects of placate a bit quicker.
