Looks like a good build , i would just change a litle on the sloting ,i believe that you run perma rage , if you are going to slot your atacks with acc , i dont see the need to slot rage and invinsibility with to hit buffs!
Invinsibily + rage + acc SO , seems like a overkill :P
On my brute i only have one acc in knockout blow, i only have trouble hiting +3 , where my acc drops to about 70%

Did you think of droping hasten , CJ , and SJ , and just get Air Sup. and Fly ?

You can also replace, jab and hasten , with boxing and tought , those extra 17% s/l resist from tought will get you at about 65% s/l , but be aware that tought uses a lot of end !!

IR googles are useless againt stalkers!!! I have been AS with my fancy IR googles on :/

I believe that stalkers need a nemesis , like blasters fear trolers or scrapers fear togle droping blasters , every AT has some weakness , the way stalkers are now they are the gods of pvp !!


I dont think that stalkers damage should be nerfed , what should be done in my opinion , is some changes to hide for pvp , make a stalker with hide only visible at meale range , and stealt + hide visible at meale range with the help of IR google or tactics !

The defence buff made a huge difrence on EA defences !

If you like EA now just wait until lvl 28 energy drain , coupled with aid self , my brute is a non stop full fury smashing maniac

Btw... im sory to disapoint you :/ but defence sets are weak at pvp! Anyone with build up/aim will hit you all the time for doulbe dmg , during BU/Aim 10 seconds !

I would say invul , decent resist, dull pain , and unstopable witch is the best lvl 38 power

But if you whant someting reliable and good vs all dmg , go fire or dark , they dont have a good lvl 38 power and dont have knock back resistance , but they can be very solid sets , with some power pool powers!

After lvl 38 the strongest brute set is stone, but with some penaltis to your primary!


you have all the nunbers you need here

The shield improvement was very nice


A even lvl minion now hit me obout 1/5 of the atacks , compared to about 1/3 before the patch !

This test was done with kinetick shield only , 3 sloted with +3 SO's , vs a family minion that used kick, brawl and boxing , on 100 atacks i was hit 20 times , that makes for about 30% defence vs S/L !

not bad at all

Good news for EA

Stalker paranoia !!


*turn ir gogles on
*eat all the yelows

Brutes have scraper defences , with a blaster the way to deal with then is to drop the brute togles using a couple meale attacks, and hold them if your lucky to drop a brute status protection togle, also ice has some nice slows so you can keep them at range !

With your MA/SR scraper its allways gonna be hard to beat a brute 1 vs 1, with a decent amount of fury and build up, a brute can drop a SR in a few seconds, and most brutes have good S/L resist :/

PB/WS can be a pain if they decide to go nova form

The problem is, I can't choose to have the Stormie not fight me. And from what I've seen of the PvP zones, at the higher levels your rarely spoiled for choice on who to attack.

[/ QUOTE ]

And even if you have a choice , they usualy are all on a 8 man team standing inside the huricane :/
Huricane is as powerfull as CoF before the nerf...


ps: @TG you are a good pvp player , and are just using huricane to its best efect , dont take this huricane hate personal... but i realy think that huricane makes any pvp team way to powerfull , and not fun to fight against !

you know 3 players that can hit you...That is my point!

I have no intencion of starting a huricane discution , but i has hoping for litle more honesty from you regarding how powerfull that powers is !

[ QUOTE ]

The fact is Storm set is well balanced right now for PvP since its got lots of weaknesses and some good strengths


[/ QUOTE ]

Do i smell nerf fear ?

:P

Tanks, scrapers , stalkers , blaplers and brutes ,all of the high dmg AT's , are useless against a storm , i dont think this is fair ...

Yes huricane has long recharge time , but theres no way any of the obove at's could drop a storm togles without going into meale range...

Please dont make another /storm for pvp
/storm trolers in pvp are as powerfull has a I4 fire tank in pve, they take the fun out of pvp , with theyr uberness!

I would go for snow , 3 holds , lots of dmg , and meale atacks to drop tank/scrapers togles!
The down side off blaster is that they are the prime target for every one else on pvp :/

You did make CoH a litle beter i always had fun reading your Arena carrot chat:P


ps: parabems

Vilains Energy Aura is imune to huricane and tp foe

Hurricane is the best defence my brute has in pvp (ty TG :P), healt drop to red (run to TG) , low end (run to TG and end drain him) , 4 angry scrapers chasing me (run to TG and taunt them)

Did you take your pills today ?

I die a lot on teams

There is very few corruptors on CoV , if there where more corruptor , teams could more beter! I blame the devs for making corruptors = to defenders :P

The base value value of EA defences is low , I4 blasters could have beter defences than EA just by runing perma hasten and stealt!

Energy drain , is a good power , problably the only one wort of 6 slots on the EA set , it lets you have a full end bar from 2 minions every 30 sec's !

KHAIBA'S MASTERMIND NUMERIC KEYPAD PET CONTROLS

I think this is what you looking for

Ice blast/regen Brute

The must have power are TI , unwelding , dull pain , and invinsibility !

Dull being the beter of them all, self heal + 40% hp , it will let you take a lot more dmg when combined with the invul resists !

I dont think the passives deserve any slots...

My brute is lvl 27 now ,i didnt get stamina , and dont think i need it now, i have 2 end redux on all the atacks and that lets me fight almost for ever !
At lvl 28 i will get Energy drain , it recharges in 60s and gives you 25 end per minion , 6 sloted should give a full end bar every 30s from 2 minions! A lot beter than stamina :P

But i admit that until i had most my atacks 2 sloted with end redux DO's i was having big end problems...

SS has rage in there... my SS/EA brute shines more than a invul or a fire brute :P thanks to rage !!

Its not that bad... you just cant team, or solo anything above yellow!

Im working my way to get tough now, and im hoping it makes my brute more team friendly, the way it is now i just cant manage to stay alive on a team of 6 fighting whites :/

Im loving my SS brute ! Pure smash power with great sound efects
