Your gonna wanna swap out jab for punch. Also i dont recomend you get mu, get soul if you want though, outside farming mu just isnt all that great.
But here, i took a crack at it. From my experience having to have CJ on to get soft capped it actually a *****. But i dont know if you have ninja run or anything.

Mids is wrong, as is the power description for FE.
What it ACTUALLY does is it adds about 45% more dmg to all of your attacks as fire dmg. And this works off of your final dmg not just your base dmg, so it can add over 100 dmg to an attack, easily.
Making it one of the best powers in the game

This might be overkill, but I find it too funny not to share, given his posting. iMidget Prefection's ingame bio :
"This My builds > Urs. Probly the best AE farmer u'll every see. fire ambush +4x8 in 6 minutes. lvl 1 - 50 solo farming takes 23.5 runs at +4x8 fire ambush farm. About 4 or 5 ticket cap and 333,000ish prestige idk about influ forgot to check that"
That character was an elec/fire/fire brute, by the way. Admittedly not a fire scrapper, but if he's proud of taking 6 minutes to clear a fire ambush, I feel it's safe to assume none of his times are going to be competitive on any alt.

Quote:I think i remember reading somewhere that is actually no longer the case and redraw does infact affect DPS. Of course, I have no idea if thats actually true.Originally Posted by streetlight
Quick note: redraw has exactly zero impact on DPS. It makes the attack feel slower, because you have the additional bit of animation, but the duration of the attack from when it starts to when when a new attack can occur is exactly the same. If the animation bothers you, then that's one thing, but don't let it bother you from a DPS perspective.

Quote:Ok then, lets see your numbers then. You ticket cap in about 2min right?Originally Posted by iMidget Perfection
The fastest farming in the game is done in AE ambush. AoE range doesnt matter in there. you can have a cone and still hit 10 people. Plus the fact you can be perma dmg caped on a scrapper because of grabing 20 reds and only have to pop 10-12 to hit dmg cap is something to make note of
I love how this happens everytime the thread dies. -

1) Can’t help you with DB, never got one into high lvls
2) Def, def and more def. Make sure you get your auto powers too. You will be kind of squishy until SOs, but from then on until IOs 1 small purple will make you epic. Fighting helps a lot too.
3) You don’t need hasten, and having your mez protection on auto instead annoys some people. But i try to get it on all of my toons
4) Yes, i haven’t gotten a travel power on a toon in forever.
5) Either spirit or cardiac, those are the only 2 viable Aslot paths for a brute IMO. -
Hmm good point, /fire is a bit squishy before you soft cap s/l. But one you get there you’re gonna kill anything before it can even touch you. :P
I guess I’d go with SS/elec/pyre then. I mean /WP is great and all in the really early lvls but it just offers NOTHING for offence and is only really average in terms of pre-IO survivability.
You could try */SD/pyre, i personally like claws/SD but just like /fire i think /SD needs IOs before it good. -
SS/fire/soul is good at that.

Low mag knockback is awesome. :P

Quote:Now, this isnt really a thread about which rolls to do but i really dont recommend doing this. You will make more money rolling bronze or some other silver, just not the 45-50. If you roll something else you will simply make more money, enough money to simply buy what you need a lot quicker.Originally Posted by icemanstryketh
I think I'm going to do this, because I still need a lot of the Io's myself lol.
-
I only make toons on guardian, i want to be in my SGs, and i refuse to buy slots of characters. So i find myself deleting plenty of alts, so far the rule has been anything that isnt 50. And there is one toon i dont play on lvling, the 1st one i ever actually played (like frostfire, 1st AV etc.), that is sitting at 35 that i have kept. Right now though i am definitely waiting for the next free server xfers.

Quote:I actually got my brute from 1-50 solo in AE. Low lvls are still good because, relative to your lvl, you still take out people quite fast with Blazing aura.Originally Posted by mhmtrm
so in my opinion after lvl 34 or 36 brutes are enough to take care their own..

Quote:The most efficient way to use the tickets depends on who you talk to, however bronze 10-14, 15-20, and 25-29 are all rolls I use. Some people like silvers as well, just NEVER do gold. EVER.Originally Posted by icemanstryketh
So farming = Ticket cap? What is the most efficient way to use those tickets? I'm assuming the end goal is Inf.
-
I'd like to mentions that I found /dark to be A LOT easier to lvl up combared to traps as you get all of your big powers right ayway (1, 2, 4). Where as you dont seeker drones until 28. Just something to mention if you suck at lvling up toons like i do.
-
Ah, thats always what its felt like for me. But when ppl like Bill Z insist otherwise figured they were right. And i never cared enough to find out, as i dont use weapons cuz of redraw. lol
-
Teaming i like a sonic on my def based toon or a cold on my res toons or squishies even .
Dark is my favorite to play, even though i would rather team with sonic, cold, rad, FFs...you get the idea. -
Quote:At first, i also planned on using mine for farming only. But they start to grow on you now its one of my mains. >.<Originally Posted by Fiery-Enforcer
Well, it sounds like they use their Brute just for farming so that shouldn't be a problem. Personally, I use keybinds that are only used to combine and use red inspirations and nothing else.
And thats also a good way to combine insps, there are plenty of unused buttons out there. -
Quote:It seems everyone uses a different one.Originally Posted by Chuckles07
What's the name of the map that people use in ambush farms?

Quote:Ah, i may have not been clear the macro's for combing are put into attacks and the macro for using them is separate, attaching that to an attack is not recommended. Also, say you have 6 small purples and 3 small blues, one click will combine all of these into reds. So there is no need to spam your attacks at all, as you go about your attack chain they simply get combined.Originally Posted by Deevian
I found this to be suboptimal, it messes with your attack order. You never want to use another attack before footstomp if it is up, mu before burn, or fences before ball lightning, but by spamming your attack buttons in order to make sure you are not wasting inspirations you get a random attack order. There are also times when your on the move to either herd up some stragglers or break the next item that you want to continue to autocombine inspiration but not been rooted by an attack. These are just a few things I remember right of the top of my head that I remember from my testing, there are more and I would definitely not recommend putting insp combine macro into attacks only, perhaps putting them in both is the right answer if you insist in having them in attacks?
Stragglers, other than a large mob of them, are not to be attacked. This is a waste of time are you should hopefully be at or near the ticket cap before its an issue.
You still combine insp using the forward button, which can un-center you and cause burn (at to a lesser extent FS) to not be at the target cap unless you only press it when you are rooted. But if thats what you want, ok.
And you still havent addressed that you don't want to combine insp outside of AE, unbinding every time you go use your alt build and rebinding when you change back is just a *****. -
I personally recommend using macro's "attached" to an attack rather than movement binds for a couple of reasons.
1. I recommend a macro because in a normal TF setting purples, oranges, blues etc. are still very useful.
2. And i recommend using them as an attack because in an ambush farm you won’t even be moving at all, unless you suck at farming somehow. :P -
Think you take out another one, but redraw doesn't change DPS at all. Or so i hear.

Quote:Yes its a set mule, (he is using a version of something i gave him) FS, burn, fences, and ball gives you a full AoE chain.Originally Posted by icemanstryketh
Deevian why did you take mu lightning instead of static discharge for more aoe(cone)?
Do you use mu lightning in your rotation or is it just a mule?
Also Deevian, are you using Spiritual core paragon? I hit 50 after the maintenence.
Yes, get spirit core paragon more rech is good. If you have trouble with end use a blue every now and then. On my build, i dont use consume or blues and my end is fine. But i have 5 purple sets in it. -
Its not regen/recov capped. Thats not even possible.
