Breath Weapon
Fire/SR would work just fine. But the three-breath stunt would be exactly that, a stunt. The animation times on those three powers are not quick, and that would probably lead to fury degeneration.
I wouldn't call it a stunt. You don't worry about Fury generation on AoE attacks-- the agro the generate is a huge boost to Fury.
Having multiple cones is perfectly viable as they line up well. Fire/SR/Mako would be a fine end game build for AoE and ST.

Fire breath is uber short compared to the other two, though, which can make it awkward.
Oh, and don't forget the aoe immob; not only does it keep stuff in place, but it's a cone as well.
[I went fire/shield/mako for 4 cones and 2 aoe's.]
If I quote #'s, they're from City of Data.

It was either Taunt or Purple Triangles of Doom. I stand by my decision!

Interesting, interesting. I'll have to look and see, but this seems promising.
*checking*
Ack, even specifically enhancing the range is nowhere as good. Oh, well. Just something to fire off before entering melee, then.
Thank you for all the advice.
herd, immob, jump back, start throwing up on everything
Late to the thread, but just trying to get everything straight. So basically what you're saying is that you looked at the Mako Patron Pool for Brutes and wanted to throw up?
>.>
<.<
What?
it has gone from unconscionable to downright appalling that we have no way of measuring our characters' wetness.

Do Frost Breath and Bile Spray cause wretching, puke-y sounds when you use them? O.o
Or is it just the cone of green BLEAAARGH that everyone loves so much?
Like dead fish. Dead, spectral fish.
nah, no puking sounds watery sound
"But the worst thing I ever done - I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life."

Wow thats both fantastically sophomorically great and really really wrong...
Even better-when I was about 12ish... we picked up some hair conditioner... put it in cheap water guns...added some warm water...then went up on the balcony of this small movie theater in the village..(NYC Its not there anymore ) and made 'sounds' all the while *cough* squirting our guns....
I know we got this idea from a movie or show at the time(mid 80's I forgot the name)
Least to say it was great-at the time

when they knock over the statue and the kid's like "thats her favorite part!"
hilarious, then they put it back upside down, moar hilarious.
The thing I'd like to know is when the Devs are going to increase the Range of Breathe Fire to be remotely close to all the other powersets ranges. It starts at 15 meters...that's practically melee range. Either needs an increase in it's range so it truely is a ranged attack or a large increase to the size of the cone so if I have to stay in basic melee range I get to hit mobs with something like a 180 degree arc.
Just about every other powerset, except Jacob's Ladder, has a decent range to their cones if their ranged. Even the Patron powers has a starting range of 40-60.
thread brings teh lulz
Is the name "Burping Betty" taken?

If you only read one guide this year, make it this one.
Super Reflexes: the Golden Fox of power sets!
WARNING: I bold names.
No experience with the patron breath powers, but fire breath is pretty bad honestly. I hope the others are better, but looks like a cool concept :P
Allright, before my brain COMPLETELY shuts down, I'd like the Brute board's opinion on something. A while back I was looking at the patron sets and noticed that Leviathan brutes get two interesting powers:
Bile Spray 44 Cone Damage over time (Toxic)
Arctic Breath 44 Cone Damage over time (Cold)
Following a logical(?) line of thought from there, I looked up brute primaries and found Fire Melee, which has
Breath of Fire 18 Cone Damage over Time(Fire)
So, the attractive proposition of a character that can breathe fire, ice, and poison has led me to see if this is moderately viable, since the guides I've checked seem to discourage brutes taking fire breath.
Thoughts? Failing breathing death all over people, how well would a fire/reflex brute work?
