I wouldn't recommend slotting Follow up with Gaussian', the 2.5 defense to all is nice, but I like to have some accuracy and damage slotted in there. You are considerably over the softcap and not as worthwhile on SR with good DDR as say on a Night Widow. PB at 35 will drive you nuts for at least 34 levels, take that sucker at level 10. I will admit that Quickmess isn't needed, but it sure is nice to have. And just because i say it all the time, I liek having the Achilles's Heel proc in Slash.
If you remove weave and add some sets with some AoE defense you would gain a power pick to take quickness and some slots to boot.

Oh yes.
I have my Claws/SR to 50, all the big accolades and its my favorite villain ever. My Claws/EA is at 30 and is very nervous.
For some reason all my veats seem to stop at 24.

You're right, in slotting I forgot that followup actually has to hit people to be effective. I replaced Gaussians with a full set of mako's bite, exchanged the melee for ranged defense, and only lost .3 seconds on the recharge to gain a bunch of accuracy and damage. I slotted gaussians specifically for the set bonus, and I'm going to take your suggestion and run with it, as I don't need the melee defense in the slightest, still 7 points over softcap with that change. |

I'm also going to look at PB, I've actually rearranged the entire set, I'm at 22 now and don't have it. I'm reposting the data chunk with the little changes I've made since I posted the build the first time, look at where I put dodge and tell me if I should switch PB from where it is (at 26) with dodge (at 18) or if I should just move PB down to 18 or 16 and shuffle everything else up one power choice. I'm also considering just taking it at 24 and putting off focuses senses later, advice is welcomed.

SpiritFox,
I'm currently using a different alternative for FU slotting:
mako's dam/rec
mako's acc/end/rec
mako's acc/dam/end/rec
crushing impact acc/dam/rec
crushing impact acc/dam/end
crushing impact dam/end/rec
Two reasons I did this are needing the recharge in FU for the fu, slash, focus, strike, repeat chain, and it gives me another 35.2 HP
Final stats on that are:
Acc: 80.94
Dam: 96.3
End: 80.94
Rec: 96.3
Be well, people of CoH.
As far as my personal opinion goes, I'd take PB at lvl 10 every time and put a second slot into it at level 11, and i might consider on a respec build only putting one slot into it, but i'd have an alternate build then for exemping. Both your level 24 and 26 chocies are core powers so take em as soon as you can, if you've gone that far already i wouldn't respec now to take them earlier, but if and when u do respec I'd change the order.
Brutes get longer recharge times than scrappers so Quickness is more useful, I could go a long time without but I would take it.
Not sure how much advice I have to give without knowing what powers/slotting you want to keep. If you want a very recharge focused build, you will probably need to keep Weave to stay soft capped. If not, you can switch up set bonuses and not take Weave, right now it's basically soft capping you to AoE as your Ranged and Melee def at high already.

Yeah, I took a slot out of weave, lost a ranged bonus I didn't truly need, and put it into PB, so I can afford the slot at 50 as well as earlier. I'm going to take it at 24, focused senses at 26. I've already messed with my first spec so I'll switch some slotting around and take PB alot earlier for later exemping when I get my first respec.|

I'm also looking into a second build where I 6 slot shockwave for knockback and see if I can improvise a game of minion golf.
What I've kinda been looking at is procs for focus, since its going to be a part of any attack chain I use. I was wondering damage proc vs gaussian's buildup. The damage proc also gives me a bit of ranged defense for the 6 slotting, but I have no experience with the build up proc.
The last time I sat down to figure out final DPS on various claws chains with different slotting, I found that the decimation chance for buildup (for focus) increased DPS by almost exactly the same amount as any of the damage procs that proc at 20% for 71.8 damage.
However, that was over time against hard targets like AVs and Pylons. Until my last build, I also had the gaussian chance for buildup in followup, but decided that getting followup's basic stats up higher was more important to me.
Be well, people of CoH.

I really want to make something with /SD, but I can't find a primary I like enough to fit it with. I've considered elec, but that set just felt weak when I tried the scrapper version. I haven't liked SS since I tried it on a tanker, I'd prefer to avoid something that comes with **** like rage crashes, how are Battle Axe and fire?

Fire would probably be nice with SD. I have a SD/Fire Tank and is hella fun, but then again Fire is different between Tanks and Brutes.

From my experiences with SR, the amount of times I really need a Self Heal isn't worth the investment, or more so the loss of two other powers I'm using considerably more.

1. Dark Melee and have Siphon Life as their main heal (and good damage power)
2. Use Greens for their healing needs (but that violates many peoples personal rule about no insps/temp powers for AV soloing)
3. Are insanely lucky and the AV didnt hit them once/more then once.
4. Have an extreme build designed for regen + max hp AND don't get hit twice in a row so they can regen back the damage they take in time.
For everyone else, Aid Self, is a shortcut that makes thing easier (no need for greens / luck) or fill in the gap (not Dark melee), and doesn't want to spend forever making an extreme build that doesn't need Aid Self)
(This is all in the thought process of soloing AVs, disregard for normal play)
Edit:
Btw if you check the scrapper forums, the general consensus is that X/SR (generally Fire/) + Aid Self is the easiest way to make an AV soloing melee toon. (generally very cheap as well)

I couldn't figure out how many freespecs have been granted over the years. I've used them all. Then 3 from the trials. I'm at 54 months on vet rewards, all those gone. This last one was purchased for 130mil. Oh yea... and the one respec recipe I actually had drop.
Soooo, that many.

I have no idea. Many? Several? Poor guy has been reshaped by dev changes and player whim so often.... there's just no tellin.
I will say this: He's a hell of a lot tougher now than he was back in the parma-lude days.
Be well, people of CoH.
So... let's see if I've got this right... I'd be better off remaking my Claws/ELA as a Claws/SR, even though I've already got a 37 Claws/SR Scrapper?

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
When I made my Claws Brute it was a toss up between Elec and EA, I went with EA as I could make a Claws/Elec scrapper. My Claws/EA brute is no where near as strong as my Claws/SR scrapper but it's still a beast and a joy to play. I have IOs pushing my typed defenses up and that makes a world of difference, -Def is a pain but that's alright.
My Claws/Elec scrapper (I hadn't rolled a scrapper in 3-4 months) is 45 now and also a lot fo fun to play. I do die a tad bit more on large teams.
Elec would be even better for Brutes with higher resist caps and probably stronger initially both sets and SOs. Already having a Claws/SR scrapper I'm pretty sure I won't roll a Claws/SR brute for a long time, if ever.
The EA brute took longer feel as strong as it should be compared to the Elec Scrapper, but in the end the EA brute will, for most things be more survivable.

I dont know what the prob is with Electric Armor /claws brute but i wish mine was SR instead . i have a dualblade / SR brute that is a true killer and i belive if that toon was another primary like claws or SS it would be awsome !!
OK, so it sounds like I should remake into Claws/SR. Interesting.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
I just optimized my brute Claws/SR. She's only at 21 right now, but this is where I want to go.
One of the things on here I'd like opinions on is power choice order. I'm pretty sure I want to stick with the choices I made power wise, the goal was to make the build entirely self sufficient. I know the build is going to be expensive, but its only got two purple sets and from what I hear the touch of deaths might as well be purple for their costs, but will be easier to get supply wise, etc.
I'm looking for advice. The build is fully soft capped and it wasn't all that expensive to do so I don't think, and I like the slotting and everything, but if anyone has some wild suggestions I'm open. Also, if there is a way to retool the build, drop the fighting powers, still be soft capped and take elude, I'm interested in seeing it. I just haven't been able to work it out for myself yet.
