So with the announcement of I16-Power Spectrum, we get the announcement of more powerset proliferation.
Scrappers: Elec/Elec *cool*
Tanks: Elec/Elec *in my eyes... a lil OP*
Blasters: Rad Blast *dark would of been better, more ST attacks*
Controllers: Ice Domination *was waiting for that*
Corrupters: Arch/TA *was hoping that*
Dominates: Earth Assault *wanted that*
MasterMinds: Thermal *thats nice*
Defenders: Traps/AR *didnt see that commin*
Brutes: Claws *WTF!!! were the devs high?*
Stalkers: Broadsword *is nice but better on brutes*
All of the proliferation BUT brutes im happy with.... why do they get claws?
Would anybody *mainly a redname if possible* help me under stand the choice of claws for brutes

Claws = Fast ST and awesome AoEs
Fast ST = More Fury
More Fury + Awesome AoEs = Win
And ranged damage, something Brutes rarely get. The point of proliferation is to add something unique, and claws would definitely be that.
I'm still trippin' over BS/ for Stalkers, though. 'Bout as stealthy as a bull elephant.

See this is what I don't get. Attacking does build Fury, but it does it slow. Now Claws will build it faster then other yes, but still the best way to build Fury is being attack. Now that you can make you mish set for 8 you should never have issues with building Fury.

Well, for some of us, the idea of a claws/stone brute is just awesome sauce. Finally a stoner that has an attack cycle that works.
Some people will not want to max the settings, for some the constant end drain of spamming attacks for a 8 man mob, will just be a pain.
I wonder if the spamming of follow up, +fury, wouldn't make some people cry for a buff to rage. The near constant +dam and +tohit, on top of say near full fury, and a constant attack cycle, with little need for expensive IO's. Hmmm....might have to open a character slot for two of these.
210 50s and still counting!

I dunno about you, but the difference between how fast my DM Brute and my EM Brute generate Fury from just attacking is staggering. I have to consciously work towards building Fury on my EM, including putting Brawl on auto. My DM, just using Smite, Shadow Punch and Siphon Life, builds up half to 2/3s of his Fury bar on just one group of 3 or 4 minions.
Can you imagine how fast Fury will build using Swipe, Strike, Focus and Follow Up? *head asplode*

Happy about AR, but would have preferred Fire Blast & Thermal overall.
Hey Trick... EM has the disorient that would prevent enemies from attacking, while DM would make them miss more, but still increase your fury.
Just a thought.

I never had a problem building Fury on my EM.
Still, Trick's making a really nice point about Claws' viability...
Think of it as being like Wolverine, building himself up into a frenzy as he tears hundreds of Hand ninjas apart...

Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.
