Sounds tasty! Let us know how it turns out.

What a savage irony it would be for all of us who've been mocking him for countless pages to be rendered foolish looking by the changes to EA (of course, our objections of the time would be valid, but no new players would realise that!).

Totally, as you can see there isn't even slotting for endred in the shields, plus the accuracy is low on attacks with Smashing Haymakers. With more slots and after Energy Drain you can have a nice softcapped Broot ready for level 23 play! I did it to show how easy it can be without using the ultra expensive Kinetic Combats, but if I ever get to level my WM/EA past 20 (Praetoria damn) I aim at using level 30 or 33 sets to get him softcapped by then, I did it on my claws/sr scrapper (on melee/ranged since the aoe toggle comes late in scrapper SR) with aid self at 30. I find level 30 a good spot for most TFs/SFs and before that 30ish def is good enough to me with insps, Ea is a very nice set imo.

I am a 6ish year vet and a total NOOB at posting on the forums. I was looking for some help with my WM/EA to see if anyone else had discovered exactly how PRETTY and STRONG this build was and I stumbled upon this thread....and heinous page after page of grade school-esque comments, and no help whatsoever on the build, with the exception of Dr. Holy and Kioshi. I naively thought the forums were here to actually help people, but, wow, I definitely got an education on that. I'm going to try to post my build here and hope that others that want anything but the FotM toon will be encouraged to try something new and FUN and PRETTY and STRONG, even though they MAY get ridiculed. This toon is a beast...I have mostly soloed with her, but team play has been wonderful as well. I spared no expense because I could...and hat's off to Mr.Playskool for starting this thread....even though he had to read page after page of ridicule. Grow up people!!!

Soooooo.....omg War Mace + Energy Aura soooooo strong!!! and PRETTY! (fyi: I was mostly looking for PRETTY!!!)

This is an awesome thread. I've been following it since its creation and still remember the day I popped up the "screenshot" (warning, if you haven't seen it yet, don't open it at work) I laughed so hard my coworkers thought I was insane (took awhile for me to stop laughing too).

I've been thinking about a WM/EA Brute for some time had a few builds planned and everything, but never got around to it. Now, reading this thread again, I'll have to look at running one.

Great job everyone, keep this thread rolling!

It's mostly sad because she picked this as her first experience on the Forum, forming a hugely jaded base opinion, when she doesn't realize it's one of the like 3 troll threads on the entire Forum.

Obviously, since this thread is about War Mace and Energy Aura, it's strong. And pretty. Duh.

So, I'm not completely back in ze loop yet, or maybe I just forgot something from a while ago, but how did War mace get buffed and when?

There were some minor buffs before but the biggest one was in december/2008 (Acemace posted this in some 2009 thread):

Quote:
And the biggest update came last Dec, thanks to Castle,

Clobber: Reduced Recharge Time to 16 seconds and alter damage scale and endurance costs to match using the standard formula. This means it it now a pretty hard hitting attack, with a damage scale of 2.92 and a base endurance cost of 15.18. Since this is now classified as a Damage power rather than a control power, the base duration of the Stun effect was reduced from scale 10 to scale 5.

Shatter: Reduced Max Targets Hit from 10 to 5.

Crowd Control: Increased Max Targets Hit from 5 to 10.
This made Clobber the hardest hitting attack in WM, and still does a 100% mag 3 stun, and increased the set's AoE since Crowd Control has a 180 degree arc and Shatter only 45, that's why they switched the target cap for those.

You get Clobber at level 8 on a Brute/Scrapper, and for comparison, it has a 2.92 damage scale while Midnight Grasp, a 32 power, has 2.76. The other heavy hitters (KO Blow, Seismic Smash, Total Focus, Concentrated Strike) have a 3.56 dmg scale but take longer to recharge (20 secs, except 25 for KO Blow, Clobber 16s, MG 15s). Of those, only KO Blow you get also at 8, but before SOs KO Blow take quite a bit to recharge since it has the longest rech of all those attacks.

Besides those, only Energy Transfer (8.01 dmg scale) and Greater Fire Sword (3.15) do more damage than Clobber. I forgot if Brutes got Broadword now (I know they have Katana, so I guess BS too), just saw that Headsplitter is a bit higher than clobber, 2.99, it recharges in less time (14s) but has no stun and it's lethal damage (although it's a narrow cone).

And /EA got buffed twice since this thread began. Hence the snarky responses to the first post like veteran melee players saying 'wait wm/ea is anything but strong'. They were right at the time.

I hate all this terrorist business. I used to love the days when you could look at an unattended bag on a train or bus and think to yourself.... I'm going to take that.

Even more awesomer.

WM/EA Brute: Because you can't have too much Strong and Pretty!
Fire Blaster: Because you shouldn't have to walk over there to set someone on fire.
Tanker: SOMEBODY has to soak up all this aggro I'm generating
Scrapper: The other meat shield

My question is, most powers that need a buff, they don't get it because "the equations" say the power is working as intended. But then Clobber comes along and gets a huge buff. Surely "the equations" didn't say it was okay to buff Clobber like that? Surely they went over "the equations'" heads and just made it uber?
