most likely, they havent got around to it yet. each level of powerset proliferation only brings over so much, but much like ice melee for stalkers, i can see it probably on wave 3.
Awesome, I'll hold out for a Broadsword Brute then. Didn't mind the idea of a Vigilante Scrapper, but I prefer Fury over Criticals. Thanks!
I've been wanting to build a Broadsword Tank since I started the game. Still waiting. 
I thought I read somewhere BaBs said BS couldn't generate enough fury for Brutes to be effective. I could be wrong though.

That would surprise me. Going by the numbers it should be at least as good as several other Brute sets. In particular Battle Axe and War Mace have a pretty similar power selection although Broadsword has a much shorter recharge on it's cone and trades one of the high recharge single target attacks for Parry.

Agree, considering Battle Axe and War Mace are pretty much carbon copies of Broadsword with a few things changed around, I don't so how they would generate less fury than either of those.
lol doesn't build enough fury just take an alpha strike for a team that will make your fury jump up there no prob.
Yeah, fury problems kinda disappear when you're on a team or set to anything over three or four team size. Which any brute worth considering should be, really.

I would put my money on it not getting proliferated to Brutes and Tankers if only because Parry would be disturbingly powerful in the hands of a target with the already substantial survivability of a Brute or Tanker. If it ever were proliferated, I would expect some other power to replace Parry if only to prevent the inordinate survivability that would come from giving what amounts to free melee defense softcapping capability to the high hp ATs.

It does, and that's the whole point. Broadsword shares 8 out of 9 powers with War Mace and Battle axe, sharing the activation times of all Battle Axe powers it shares animations with. If Battle Axe can build Fury (and that's implied by it being available to Brutes), then so will Broadsword, as it's the same damn set.

Now that that's out of the way, please give me Ice melee so I can sleep mass groups of foes and pick them off at my leisure.
Did a quick search, didn't see anything immediately so if this has been brought up again and again, my apologies.
Is there a reason Brutes don't have access to broadswords? Seems to me like it would be a solid fit, unlike Ice Armor Brutes. Also, with the Rularuu Broadsword model, you could definitely make some evil looking sword users. Lastly, the broadsword seems more of a "brutal" weapon that relies more on strength and less on finesse, unlike Claws and/or Dual Blades.
Was just curious if this was simply something that the devs haven't got around to yet, or if there was a previously stated game reason for why Brutes and Broadswords wouldn't work.
Thanks for your time.
