Thanks. I appreciate the comments. And yes, FE+KoB+Gloom = OMG that was dope! But Im just not a SS kind of guy after extensive PT with this brute.

Sold. Thx

Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated.
Would love to hear more opinions/experience/suggestions.

*Edit*

Is 95-100% global recharge before hasten good for the build? Im just curious if I should try to squeeze anymore in my build or am I at a good spot. This is also not including any incarnate buffs.

Ok.. I have been running my SS/FA brute a lot lately, and it has been fun, but it got extremely boring really quick. I guess the concept of a slow, physically strong character does not appeal to me as much as a Fast, precise character (think Ninja in comparison to barbarian).
So I had a friend of mine farm me up a Claw/FA brute (yes, I admit it!), and I was wondering what I should expect in terms of Aoe kill speed with spin vs footstomp (I know FS has a larger radius, but lower dmg and higher recharge than spin), The synergy of burn + spin vs that of burn + FS, and the difference in the amount of time it would take to kill a single hard target ( lvl 54 bosses, Pylons, AVs, ect..) using KoB+burn(with FoTG and armageddon procs)+haymaker+gloom vs Follow up x2+burn(procs)+slash(AH -res proc)+focus+ maybe eviscerate (this is not an actual attack chain). I did not include rage in there but I do use it depending on what i am doing, percent of damage buff I am at, and if the constant rage crash down is acceptable.

I also partake in fire farms with him, and will do the same with the claws, as well as regular content + incarnate content.

I guess what I am getting at is, will I be disappointed stripping my IOs from the SS/ to feed the claws build performance wise? I know playstyle wise I will not be. Both builds are at 32.7 smash lethal def, 55.6 smash lethal with tough running, and 100% global rech before hasten. Both builds are running the Cardiac alpha and alternating with spiritual (using Agelessfor endurance management) depending on play style at that moment.

I applogize for any typos and difficulty reading this, being that I posted This from my phone.

Thanks!

Does this stack with the Achilles Heel proc?
Thanks in advance.

WB AF, it will pass to a certain degree. I just came back recently myself and although I have not been gone as long as you, things tend to peice together with a person or two willing to answer your questions.

GL HF, and hope to see more HVND people come back around.

Really? That kind of attitude is what KILLS pvp across all servers.

Who exactly made you the speaker for Champion? What makes you a Champion player? Did you take a citizenship test to make you an official member of society? Or did you just happen to make a character and just happen to log on to it and join the COMMUNITY in playing on Champion?

I don't know who all is on the team that wants to join but I can tell you this much. Vinnie started on Champion and was a very active player here. In fact he was my preferred target caller at old hami raids for a LONG time. I personally think he can be a total *** at times but that doesn't change the fact that he is indeed a member of Champion.

Peril also started on Champion. As a very strong and active member of HVND and was a very strong test player for Champion on the old test ladder. Pretty sure he is supposed to be on the team wanting to join as well.

Not that any of that should matter because Champion doesn't have enough pvp or enough good pvpr's to have such an elitist attitude about who can and cannot participate.

Say you don't want them because they are ******** or trolls, that I could fathom being a reason. Saying they don't belong because they are not from Champion is lame and untrue.

Vinny could rad very well, I won't deny that. But I would not use the word "elite" for anyone, from any time period throughout this game. Not because they werent great, but the term "elite" is just gay. Artic is good, and Void was also good. Good luck with this league and drama.

Oh yea, I should have posted this like 10 post ago, but...

I just want to fight the best on champion .
Sorry.

Sorry Exit, but you and your sing are over qualified for my proposed 2v2 on this server named Champion.

I formally challenge Elf Stalker and Bud/ Hell and Gfunny/ Artic and ???

One of the three groups please reply as confirmation of our battle.
