This is a question that came up in a team I was in over the weekend - thought I'd post it here to see what you guys say

If you, as a brute, deciding to take a break from single-handedly smashing all in your view, started dou-ing with a corruptor (or teaming with a group that included one) and in a spot of phenominal luck, could pick and choose any primary/secondary combination for that corruptor, what would it be, and why?

Yup, Kinetics ftw, basically. The only problem is that Kinetics is fairly hard to use.

Well, for simple-brained Brutes like myself anyway.

Kinetics for everything except brutes with one or more endurance recovery powers... even then, after 38, I'd say kinetics.

Primary could be any of Rad/Dark/Ice, I'd go with ice personally as having a perma-held opponent is very useful for recharging your batteries.

This want my point. I was refering to a mistake some kin players do which is to slot Speed Boost with runspeed enhancers so you basically run past the mobs you wan to attack usually into walls. This happened with one of my tankers on CoH and the defender felt really guilty when I managed to aggro 3 different groups due to having 3 run speed So's slotted in speed boost.

Use the Follow, Luke.

i use follow and as i run up to them i slip down a hole into another mob, only in caves though. I find sb most unwelcomeable if there is somewhere to fall.


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Hmmmm, would have to be rad/kin. Rad does has some quite good -def, and the charge/end/damage buffs that kin does are brill, teamed with a rad/kin in sirens and felt like I could take the world

Ice/Kin

I want the trickier foes held for me, I want speed boost........ I want it all, and I want it now


"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

You mean it's ever been hard? My SR taught me about run speed, hit the speed cap with a normal speed boost on me. I think I could cope on my Brute.

And as my Kinetics Defender found out in Pocket D last night, a Brute is my best friend too. Especially in a duo. Hit speed boost, follow Brute into combat, siphon, siphon, siphon, Short Circuit, heal, siphon, zap, short circuit laugh at puzzled mobs who're now standing around looking silly, heal...

All the time the brute is cleaning house with massive damage. Wonderful. Even better than having a scrapper buddy.
