why you guys want claws so bad 
Because it just fits Brutes so well. Other than Eviscerate the set looks great and has a real straight foward rough and tough feel to it. It's also full of quick to the point animations which is great for building fury. Claws is just bees knees and brutes need it. If you prefer redside, your stuck playing stalkers....which is nothing like a brute.
When you just want to brutalize a big mob of baddies, you can't beat claws. It's just a savage set that brutes should have always had and folks are tired of waiting. Atleast I am.
i would love claws one of either broadsword or katana
broadsword and katana's parry/divine avalanche are fantastic tools. they should have at least given brutes broadsword.
but i doubt claws would be ported over as is. it would have the most aoe's that do dmg of all the brute primaries. they'll prob go the fiery melee route and remove spin or one of the cones, and move spin to 32
If they remove anything.....PLEASE let it be eviscerate!
I've actually always wondered if a Brutes version of claws would have a ranged Focus and Shockwave. A few sets like Stone and SS have a long ranged attack, so Focus might stay...but Shockwave might be deemed to much control for a Brute to have. Hopefully we'll find out soon.
in a solo situation a brute would prob lose fury if they used eviscerate due to the animation time.
They'd lose style points too....eviscerate is teh ugly :\

While this may be true, I still want to see it done on a granite brute.

This. The only thing that would ever get me to make a granite brute is if it was Spines, Claws, or Martial Arts.
That said, I want spines more than anything else for brutes.

I'd rather get nothing and wait for something totally new then get a claws powerset ported over.
Oh boy another highly resisted damage type, great idea!

Yea just like all those other sets we have with just leathal, like DB and Axe and.... and.... um....
I didn't say "lethal damage type." I said another highly resisted, so if you want to nitpick then you should include SuperStrength, Stone Melee, Mace, etc.
You done now?
Smashing is less resisted than lethal.
Edit to add, on brutes the damage type really is not that important thanks to fury. Some stuff just takes a little longer to kill.
You just like to throw out phrases?
I didn't say smashing was more resisted then lethal. I said "highly resisted damage type." You know Smashing is the SECOND most resisted damage type in the game.
And if you think it doesn't make a difference then you need to play a Fire Melee Brute at high levels.
I find it a waste of resources and time. My opinion.
Have one and it does ok but nowhere near my SS. Funny how such a high resisted set can do so much damage, kinda like SM.
You must be something very wrong on your Fire Melee Brute or you're lying.
SM has very high DPS, in a vaccuum (i hate spelling that word), but in real game play...the damage type makes the set lag behind Fire and Energy when fighting most enemy types, and especially EBs/AVs.
Now before you distort my comments, I'm didn't say SM was poor DPS when in fact it's probably the highest (if your endurance can handle it), but it's the DAMAGE TYPE that I dislike.
I've taken my SS/, EM/ and FM/ Brutes against many of the same AVs and my conclusion is FM is probably the best choice (maybe tied or just behind DM) for soloing AVs due to the damage type.
Man, give me coffee and I ramble ramble ramble...
...and along comes Clouded once again, like clockwork, to bring negativity to the land and start pointless arguments, only to bicker back and forth for many, many posts and derail yet another thread is his endless tirade of forum absurdity.
i was dissatisfied with my claws/ stalker's damage potential (fully IO'd barring full purple sets), took a break, came back, rolled a widow...
the damage is there for the widow, but i like the look of claws/ over the retracto-needle. :/
i think if/when claws gets ported to brutes it will see some serious changes. focus as a ranged attack would be too quick for a brute to have, and shockwave would probably end up being too much control on too short a recharge for a brute to end up with. *sigh*
...and i refuse to play scrapper.

claws would be easy to bring over
Focus - half the range 40 to 20
and 75% KD
Spin - move to 26 up the damage
Eviscerate - move to 6 low damage
Shockwave - remove and replace with ST attach that does superior damage with 2.0 to 2.33 cast
Btw dual blades has 1 pbaoe and 2 cones just like claws
If they port over claws I'll be making my first brute in the 3 years I've been playing this game. And who really gives a rat's [censored] if it's lethal? It's fast and low end and looks damn cool.
Yeah and I agree with ya Blizt, I tried hard to like my widow but their slash animation makes the toon look like it's attacking from an invisible exercise bike or something. Too bad, it's a killer attack.

Those are NOT very good suggestions.
There is absolutely NO reason why Focus's range should be halfed. None at all.
There is also no reason why Evis would nead a damage reduction either.

Perhaps you shouldn't post on public forums if disagreeing with you gets your feelings hurt. Not everyone likes Claws and pointing out the highly resisted damage type is not off topic. It's very much relevant and a point of discussion.
And you gotta be the biggest hypocrit I know, did you even read your own posts in the I15 Beta forums? 90% Negative.
All you seem to do lately is whine about COH.
In all seriousness, can we please get some claws for Brutes? You know it is the most common proliferation asked for. Just do it. Do it now.
