Sure, but with SR there is a chance of getting hit, and a chance of being detoggled because of said hit (if you're not paying attention to your endurance). I know on my SR I'll still kill sappers first either way, just in case they roll a hit. As ELA endurance debuffs/removal effects might as well not exist (save for crashes).

the first time I saw it happen on my DB/WP Scrapper! I'd think that /SR could dodge it, too...

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
I don't believe that the death cry end drain is autohit. I could be wrong, of course, but I seem to recall ignoring it completely when I'm fighting carnies.
Be well, people of CoH.

I'm pretty sure it isn't. Otherwise my Nin/Nin Stalker wouldn't have a much easier time fighting them over my SS/WP Brute. I've never looked at the combat spam to see if it has a hit check though. I'll go do that.|

Looks like I need to pick up aid self on my brute as well.
I really like fighting +0/x8 maps of Rikti, but the huge mass of mobs do tend to drop me from time to time over an extended fight.
I'm sure having aid self would completely eliminate those problems.
I'd really like to compare Bill Z build to mine, if it weren't a secret or something of that nature.
Hi guys -
Been reading up a lot on Brute claws.
Can someone take pity on me and post a MIDS build that does the following:
1) Has enough recharge to run BillZ's DPS chain of FU, Slash, Focus, Strike
-- BillZ says that's 184% total recharge in follow up
-- BillZ says his FU slotting is:

2) Has Aid Self|
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 |
3) Has Tough but not necessarily Weave (can if needed)
4) Is Soft-Capped
5) Doesn't rely much (if any) on purples
I've been trying to build this but my Mids-Fu is weak.
Thx.

I have a claws/sr and a claws/ela. They're both in their 30's somewhere, and it's somewhat hard to judge how they'll pan out since SR needs some investment to become really durable.
I don't think ELA is a poor choice or anything, my claws/ela was soloing on +0/x6, which I certainly wouldn't call bad. In the long run ELA is not gonna be anywhere near as durable I'm sure, but it'll have insane endurance tools, a godmode power for tougher fights, and a damage aura. The only real downside is that ELA seems to be that is is a pretty offensive set (dmg aura, endurance drain, recharge boost) at the cost of some defense and claws does not offer much in the way of mitigation to help out. By far the most fun thing about ELA though is watching a sapper just shoot you nonstop and not even caring. Endurance drains is one of those things that tends to really own most characters (like a sapper detoggling someone in 2 hits), and ELA is essentially immune to it (same for arachnos and the annoying mu).
