You'd be suprised about not needing Conserve Power; I've got stamina, dark consumption & energy drain and I still burn through endurance at a ludicrous rate.

So you would recommend to take the way I planned first?
I also prefer to take these powers instead of the patron ones, but before choosing new powers i would like to hear about what other players think about patron powers for brutes...

i don't have stamina at all and have Conserve power, Energy Drain and Dark Consumption! With EA you'll orobably be running 3 or 4 toggles, so your extra slots are going to go on End redux otherwise anyway. Conserve power is worth it IMO.

I feel passive shields are useless! :P
Hey :-)
I play a FM/EA brute lvl46 atm, and haven't got the passive shields nor conserve power.
I don't have any endurance problems, even not when fighting arachnos.
I do use some end reductions on toggles and attack powers (all attack powers have 2 acc, 1 endrd, and 3 damage).
Personally I respected patron powers out and got all attack powers (3 slotted build up, combined with 3 slotted hasten ....)
Instead of the passive shields I got aid self, great for EA imho.

Thanks mates.
I'll try to rebulid my character droping the passives and will post him here. Your comments will be highly appreciated.
Just a thought......
Your not taking two aoe damage powers that can be effected by rage, one which has a immob component, and one that reduces the mobs to hit for 10 secs, so increases your primary defence.
Also the other people are correct in informing you the passives are nigh on useless, nothing to stack them with, so wouldn't bother with them.

Hi!
My SS/EA brute is lvl 25 and i was just worndering if the auto resist damage powers are worth of getting them or if it is better to get patron powers instead?
I planned the last levels as follows:
41 D. Field
44 Energy Protection
47 Taunt
49 Cosnerve power (not very useful as I will have Energy Drain and Stamina.
The best thing of choosing these powers is that none of them requires more than 3 slotts to be useful and i would get a lot of spare slotts to use in other powers, however i could drop them and get the 4 patron powers (from Ghost Widow-due to character history-) or 3 praton powers and taunt... But just in case they are really usefull (as per the description they do not seem so...)
What would you do?
Thanks
