It seems everyone I speak to is waiting to create a 'leccy brute once I7 is out....is everyone here planning on doing the same, cos if so I'm going to have to find out what the best anti-elec brute build is so I can make a stand when they come to take over the PVP zones!!

Well,dont worry.Some of us feels the "Buzzzz!!!" is so annoying we dont even plan to make one (or maybe mess with the .piggs...ummm....maybe .... )

I have plans about rolling one, but surprisingly enough I'm thinking more about rolling a Dark/Dark or Dark/Nin Stalker once I7 launches; gotta get myself a villain counterpart to my GenericHero - hi Venom .

Same thing happened with Trick Arrorw/Archery when they were released too - new toy syndrome.

It'll certainly settle back down after a few months though.

:O I'm making one mainly since Gun-Nut is Elec/Elec/Elec and no damn elec corruptors ;( already got my name ready.

I might make an elec/elec brute, lightning rdo looks way cool, the only tp based attacks I've seen in the game.


 

Posted

nope - at least, not elec/elec. More than happy with my em/ea at the minute, although there may well be an elec/dark concept build in there...

I can see Mercy Island filled with electro-freaks and thugs in the weeks after I7 goes live

I didn't tryed thugs mm but got me a elec/elec brute to lvl 12 on test server. So far the noise of elec melee got annoying but its a fun set non the less.

Fraid i'm in the elec/elec and thugs camp ;(

im in the elec/elec and thugs camp as well.. but thats just cause i love brutes and MMs

chances are you'll see alot of elecs and thugs, and bout 75% of em die before they hit 20.

If they try to make it 'real' (eg. burn on fire tanks/brutes) then, a stone tank/brute would kill an elec brute. Same for an earth controller, without any problems at all.

I'm gonna go for an elec melee/stone armour brute, and i've got ma name all picked out

I like the idea of a teleport-based attack in conjunction with Granite Armour

I've been waiting since the inital announcement of the AT to recreate my orignal (and now deleted) CoH scrapper as a leccy brute. The set fits the character well and it works well on the test server.

I wouldn't worry too much.. With the emphasis on AoE damage the Elec/Elec brute will be far better in PvE than PvP.

If you really are worried, the ways to take down an */Elec brute will be:
1) DoT attacks (Res based armour, no heal except Aid self)
2) Toxic Damage or Dark Damage
3) Fear

and an Elec/* brute will be less a threat in PvP than most other Brutes.

I guess their biggest fear will be a Spines Scrapper (their Nemesis), followed by things like Dark Blasters, Dark Corruptors, Necro/Poison MMs, etc. With a very good damage field though, I probably wouldn't try sneaking up on them with a Stalker, but if you do, Dark is the way to go.

Overall though I would say in PvP these are a lesser threat compared to other more PvP orientated builds. They should be nice in PvE though.

Oh..and I do plan to build an Elec/Elec Brute, but I've been waiting for this.. its my first Brute since Beta. I don't however expect it to be a PvP monster though. If I wanted that I'd go Energy/Stone.

I'd imagine a DM scrapper would do well against them, probably DM/Regen


"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!"

Nope, horrible sounding effects etc. Not why I'm not going to play one though. Just busy having fun with my domi

If the s/l resist gonna be comparable to the fire or dark set, just get a broadsword/regen scrapper with a empath fort buff. Even tough wont hold back the damage they can perform

Else we just send out the ice/ice blasters

Well I have never tried a brute before so it seems like the perfect opportunity to have look at it, although i dunno if it will be elec/elec, maybe elec/stone cos that could be quite cool and in terms of a back story, as you could say that you hero has these electric powers but needs to ground himself for fear of over charging (or something like that but a bit more eloquent)
