Seen this question on the US forums, and thought would see what the opinion on this side was;
Should Brutes Get....Claws?
Yes or No!
[/ QUOTE ]
I would say non, because I find claws to "subtle" for a brute ^^
But it's the same with db, and since the devs gave them to brutes... :-/
No.
Not sure it's possible to SMASH!! with claws.
DB for brutes and tanks was a mistake imo. There are few things that look more ridiculous than a DB / Stone brute or Stone / DB tank.

I'd much rather they got mace and/or axe. I rolled a Fire/mace tank the other day and couldn't help thinking how much more fun it would have been with fury. The old thinking of Brutes cant have weapons because they would be detrimental to fury has obviously fallen to the wayside (with them being given DB).
I reckon at some point they'll open up all the Tank powers to Brutes. Cleaving your way through foes with a battle axe is very 'Brutish' in my opinion.

I prefer to use getting hit as a fury builder. Fury can be at 90% from nothing in the first 10secs!
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.
Why not?
Wrong concept? Claws are OK for a villain (and Axe and Mace too...) To hit anyone with a claw, an axe or a baseball bat is not very 'kind'.
Only-One-AT-Power? I always found that reason quite silly. I think most melee sets should be adapted to all tankers/scrappers/brutes/stalkers, as Dual Blades are.
Technically Claws would be great for building fury with its fast attack rate, no?

I found Claws to be quite slow compared to Dual Blades.
Given the vast areas of crossover there is already, I've be quite happy to see all the various sets opened up to the appropriate AT's.
That said, there's perhaps one that needs to be kept locked down, Defender's Psychic blast because the damage type would become very unbalancing in low level PvP and in fact, most of the game.
But yes, I'd love to try an Axe brute

That would be interesting i wouldnt mind seeing brutes using weapons (not just duel blades) i would think a villian is more likely to use a weapon then a hero so y not let them run around and smash some hero heads in pvp with a nice big spiked club or something like that 
No problem with weapons from the TANKER sets; I agree that Mace and Axe would work very well with Brutes conceptually, but Martial Arts and Claws? No. Too "athletic"; too "fussy" for a brute. A brute is all about raw power and SMASH, none of that fancy complicated nonsense. No finesse. No subtlety. Just SMASH.

Claws with some animation changes so it was more primal looking could work think saber tooth or Pitt lots of rending and tearing looking attacks
Personally I'd love a broadsword brute, but it's never going to happen. Double SMASH!

Seems viable, Slash looks different on Stalkers than Scrappers already, so it's apparent that they can do that.
(Another example would be Charged Brawl looking different (better) on Blasters than Brutes)

Thats a bug though according to BaB (don't have time to find a source as im at work, will do so when im back at home - its from the "new claws animations" thread on the US boards).

A brute with claws would still look better than with two swords. So because they can have double blades, I sould say yes for claws.
What was the name of that evil big guy from x-men? Sabertooth?
