Scrappers vs. Brutes

Big thread with nearly identical title.
Be well, people of CoH.

Bill that's a weird avatar lol.
OP, try to play a Brute till 22 (SO level and Stamina) to get their 'feel'. Because before stamina and SOs you'll run out of end pretty quick and won't see the benefits of fury so much.
Bill's thread shows numbers and all, but I find them quite different in playstyle. Ok not playstyle but how they 'feel'. They may suit you or not. I prefer one over another depending on the day, some days I don't like relying on Fury, some days I think it's the most awesome thing ever.
If you've played SR from release to now, you've had a rollercoaster ride unparalleled in the history of the game.
But then again, BillZ plays Claws. He probably beat the RCS challenge at least once with Focus and Shockwave while forgetting to turn his toggles on. He calls Elude "my slower backflip." BillZ idea of normal performance is not the same as normal humans. Every time BillZ talks about performance, you should picture this: ![]() (Actual picture of BillZBubba circa I9) The riddle of SR? Shall I tell you? Its the least I can do. SR isnt strong, boy, stacking make it strong! What is SR without the slotting that enhances it? Look at the strength in my build, the defense in my powers, IOs gave me this! Contemplate this in the planner of Mids. |

Samuel_Tow: Your avatar is... I think I like it

I'm a hardcore blueside player... I've dipped my toe into the Villain pool a bit, but I still spend almost all my time and attention on the hero ATs, so I don't really understand the villain ATs very well yet.
I've been hearing a lot of talk lately about how "Going Rogue will put and end to Scrappers" and "Scrappers are just weak Brutes."
Is there any truth to this talk, or are Scrappers going to continue to dominate blueside after Going Rogue hits? What are the differences between the ATs, and can Scrappers really out-DPS Brutes?
