I once stayed awake for 5 days straight. I was not strong.. I certainly wasn't pretty..
But I *did* see a lot of things that weren't actually there.. And the background of the world flickered like I had my video card clocked a bit too high.. and i started to see little black gremlin type things jumping around while I was driving..
If only I had been WM/EA during that time in my life.. maybe i could have made it to 6 days.
Sorry for posting in this amazing thread. Sometimes I can't resist impulse actions.
k bye :P
This thread is actually somewhat still alive? Amazing.
I think it is on life support. Someone comes in and gives it a jab when it doesn't see any activity for awhile and brings it back to life.
Why hasn't this thread died yet?

Yes it is and so is EA.
Yea, EA doesn't seem so bad. it gets pretty good defense and some resists and a lot of cool utility powers. Also an elude clone
I have a soft capped WM/EA at 50 that I started when this thread was first created. I made him too see how bad the combo really was. I enjoyed playing a lot and then both sets got buffed. I can do some crazy things with him and he is my favorite brute to play now.

I was thinking about doing the opposite - an all custom group of minion/lt/boss WM/EA brutes, so that all the naysayers can feel the wrath of the strong and pretty.
set them to extreme and they would slaughter everybody

This thread would have been legitmate if had just been about War Mace. Everything said about War Mace was legitimate.
Throwing Energy Aura in there, frankly, just throws up a smoke screen that cleverly masks any chance this thread ever had at not failing.

I just found this thread, and I have to say... this thread is SO STRONG.
And pretty. 
A little bit ago, I made an Energy Aura brute (too weak to couple it with mace, so I went Dark Melee). I have played it to level 40....
Anyway, EA has to be the flat-out worst secondary I've ever experienced with a brute.
Seriously, no aggro aura + a stealth = crappy herds. But that's actually OK, because if I did manage to herd (well, the corrupter herded much better) I would mostly get pwn'd pretty darn quick!
The end-suck/heal is OK at best, and yeah, looks decent if you have 10 enemies around you. But if you have 10 enemies around you, they'll just 4-shot you anyway, heal or no.
Soloing is not bad, but a 3-yr old can solo pretty much any AT w/o enh's in this game, so that's not really a reliable indication of a set's strengths.
The tier 9, Overload, is very nice, and if I could live in it, it is very survivable. I have just resolved to: a) never roll a type-defense toon again, and b) ignore EA as the bastage-stepchild of the brute world.
On the other hand, SR was very survivable! Took some doing to get it reasonable (about 30+ levels), but compared to EA, it's gold!
No aggro aura on a brute... and they cap that with a stealth! Wow, and they didn't want spines or ice because those slowed building fury... did they even play EA?
Anyways, I might push to 50 and see how LoLz-worthy it is in RV, I've only used SO's for now; if it looks remotely viable in zone pvp, I might slot some cheap IO sets... not many set bonuses for typed defense.

r0y, If you had bothered to read the entire thread you would know that
WM+EA is STRONG and PRETTY.
Here is the proof.

Wait...what?
So are you telling us that WM+EA is somehow NOT strong and pretty?
Now I am so confused.
65 pages worth of strong and pretty cant be wrong!

You are completely wrong sir!
/EA ranks above /Elec and Dark from my experience. Have you played an EA at all?
Yes, I have a WM/EA at 50 and really enjoy playing him.
Definitely STRONG and PRETTY!

You can't deny factrs.
Here is a screenshot of me being STRONG and pretty.
