My attempt to make Energy Aura a viable choice

Motley_Cruel · 03-11-2010 12:47 PM

With much difficulty, I managed to pull off softcapping all types, INCLUDING negative AND psionic. The attack chain is Gloom>Incinerate>Scorch>Cremate>Scorch

Any comments?

Brute, not Scrapper, right?

We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

Motley_Cruel · 03-11-2010 05:00 PM

Sorry, how do I do that.

And yes.

The_Coming_Storm · 03-11-2010 05:31 PM

There is no Energy Aura for scrappers.

still in the wrong section though...

People tend to desecrate the scrapper forums with stuff that doesn't belong. I'd rather read it in the Villain AT sections as I play Red mostly.

Considering a large portion of the number crunchers dwell in the scrapper forum, he was probably trying to get some feedback from them.

You two should gowainao thanks.

No offense intended, but I've been reading the scrapper forums since about 2005, even though I didn't register my forum account until 2007. This forum has a reputation for being the one most knowledgeable and open to helping players, regardless of Archetype, especially when it's an AT which is very similar (like a brute, stalker, or tank).

I've posted queries on all 4 of those forums, and the ones here get by far the most useful and numerous responses, and I'm sorry if it bothers you, but I'm not gonna stop coming here for help.

Well, I don't have much experience with Brutes or Energy Aura, so I'm just going to pretend I'm looking at a Fire/something Scrapper. From that perspective, it looks most similar to a Fire/Shield. Soft cap to all types is like soft-capping all positions on Shields, which is expected on high end builds. Resistance numbers look similar, with the edge going to Shields. I'm guessing Gloom is a good enough attack as to be worth adding to the Incinerate -> Scorch -> Cremate -> Scorch chain (which you almost have enough recharge to pull off without Gloom)? It's probably down on both DPS and AoE compared to a Fire/Shield scrapper, but you do have a Blood Widow to help you out. I guess Energy Drain is your heal, though obviously best used in large crowds. So damage recovery looks limited, but not terrible. I'm guessing that you're fine on endurance use due to Energy Drain. Hit points? With the accolades added, passable by Shield Scrapper standards, I'm guessing not so much by Brute standards.

So, Idono, looks decent from the perspective of someone who hasn't done any Brute number crunching or comparisons?

It's better to post in the brute forum because when people search for discussions about energy aura, they will expect to find them in the brute forum instead of the scrapper's.

I think your build is very expensive, with pvp IO, two purple sets and quite a few HOs. You'll find that you will still have a lot of issues with common red-side mob types like Longbow, Arachnos, and Cimerorans, because they have defense debuff.

Your attack chain is of the buzz-saw type. Your heavy hitters are incinerate and gloom. Both of them are dots. I think it may lack a bit in terms of burst damage without greater fire sword. My overall comment is that it's a lot of pain to make the build, it looks good on paper, but it is not as tough as you expect it to be in real battles.

Interesting build, although it pains me a bit to see some things like greater fire sword and fire breath left out. Without studying it too heavily, I would change it to this:

Energy Aura needs to be redone it has no benefit over anything in anyway

Maybe in going rogue or I18 they will fix it or if they port the power maybe it gets fixed
