Yeah that's pretty rough. If you don't have enough endurance to run your basic attacks for more than 2 spawns I don't think I would have taken a PPP like Mu either. Although it might be that doing more AoE damage vs. large groups of mobs might actually help alleviate the situation somewhat.

Sounds like the character might require pretty heavy end rdx slotting.

I'm guessing you picked a set with slow-animating attacks. Pick a set with fast cast times and you'll get your fury a lot faster.

Another technique players use (I've never needed to) is place brawl on autofire to help build fury faster. It animates quick and costs 0 endurance, helping early on with endurance issues.

I'm here to help you figure out why fury is a problem for you. Because being a SMASHaholic addicted to SMASHahol is a beautiful thing.
Oh... I think its actually my fault... I never really got into the mood for bruting... still trying to get one past 25... i rerolled more brutes than any other kind of AT... My current try is faring a little better, being a classic Fire/Fire...

Thanks Tonality for being nice and trying to help a lost case like me... ^_^

Yes. I can get lost on a straight-line map.

I'll ditto that. I wish for the fury decay rate to be a bit slower. Presently, all brutes have amazingly good anger management skills. They can go from completely berserk to totally calm in 30 seconds flat. What I wouldn't give to be able to stay angry for an extended period of time.

You're not a lost cause. I refuse to accept there are people that don't like brutes. They just haven't found the right set yet.

Try a Claws/WP or a SS/WP like Kheldarn suggested. I suggest the claws because it's new and shiny and a little more visceral.

As long as you're not entering the character with the mindset of tanking, you'll do fine. Just focus on giving everything really bad scratches, and a few minutes into it, you'll see your fury bar completely filled. You won't even notice your fury bar because you'll be happily gutting some hapless NPC.

Blasphomy, even if they did fix it, DR would be sure to re-kill it by DRing it so hard barrier shrinks 5 inches.

I only wish for KB to make damage when the enemy hits the wall or any other object.

Also, KB increase from damage buffs.

I would very much like to see Conserve Power or Physical Perfection added to one of the patrons. Brutes are every bit as end heavy as tanks and i don't think it would be too much to ask for that kind of change.
