1. Protip: building for +dam on a Brute is next to useless. They have a low damage modifier, DR eats damage bonuses pretty badly, and even though Fury is quite sad in PvP it still contributes a little (especially with the fix for Fury generation on player targets).

2. He said his build lacked punch. I told him that was because of his powersets, not because of how he built it. EM's one of the worst possible primaries for Brutes (post-Energy Transfer nerf but especially post-I13) and Elec Armor is merely passable unless you're fighting Therms or Energy Blasters (lol), where it's pretty nice.

3. I know full well how to build for +dam on a Brute (or anything else, for that matter). It's really not hard - grab some Makos and ToD for melee sets, Devas for ranged, I could go on - but in doing so you're either going to have to skimp in areas that actually matter (HP, recharge, acc, even KB protection in the case of /Elec) or make a really really expensive build, to which there is no point.

4. Stop pretending that no one here wants to give build help. Like my earlier post said, the answer you get won't always be the one you want, but that's reality. I'm more than happy to pass out builds, but when the OP himself says the build is lacking punch, and I notice the powersets he's using, I'm going to save him some headaches and likely wasted inf by being upfront and not sugarcoating.

SI is a waste of endurance.

The in-game text interchanges ED (enhancement diversification) and DR (diminishing returns). What that means is a portion of the bonus ignores ED, though the final total will still be subject to the same DR curve. You might do a little more damage than someone without that alpha ability, but especially in light of DR there are better things to slot.

It's not, though, that's the thing.

Doesn't matter which folder you install to. As far as multi-core CPUs go, you can use the "-renderthread 1" flag on the CoH shortcut, though you don't really gain much from doing so.

I think I accidentally paid something like 15 million for an Inanimate Carbon Rod a few nights ago, but since I was just burning inf trying to get myself under the cap so I could claim an email I don't think I'll miss it much.

And Atomic Blast is 360 seconds >.>

For the first year and a half or so of playing (I'd be due up for my 42 month badge next month) it was because the game was still new to me - things I hadn't done, powersets I hadn't played, so on. The next two years were mostly because of the people, but now that most of those are gone...

If you are going to take powers as set bonus mules, there are far better powers to waste picks on than Choking Cloud and EM Pulse.

I've disliked G4 ever since they destroyed TechTV. Charter stopped carrying them in our area several years ago and I didn't miss it, to be honest.

This is quite possibly the most random thread I've read in the last few days. Congratulations, OP!

If I understand your setup correctly, you've got a wireless connection from your router to the laptop, and a wired connection from your laptop to the desktop. In that case, yes, the connection will still be secured since the only points the data's being transmitted wirelessly (i.e. the only places where data might be intercepted) is between the laptop and the router which I assume has the appropriate security settings.

cocaine's a helluva drug

EDIT: Also I see CO is going free-to-play. Guess this means we can have mediocre PvP for free instead of $15 a month.
