Hi all, thanks for your time in looking at this. I'm looking at doing a complete rebuild of my DM/EA Brute for when GR goes live. This is what I have come up with. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them. Thank you.

So I had a look at your build and made a lot of change, hopefully you'll find what I did useful:

1) I softcapped Smashing/Lethal/Fire/Cold/Energy Defence so you should be a lot more surivable. I figured you had a decent budget since you used Kinetic Combats in your build, but I didn't use purples or Hami-Os.

2) Energy Protection is near useless, Midnight Grasp is a much better pick. It's good upfront damage now (after its buff), which you can never go wrong with on a Brute.

3) You don't really need Dark Consumption to do damage, so I just put EA's in it for more recharge. I think you could consider dropping it if you find Energy Drain is doing enough to give you limitless end.

4) Soul drain needs more recharge in it. Oblits are good.

5) Gave you Energy Cloak for more defence, opening with Soul Drain should grab you enough aggro, and just use Taunt when you can.

6) Netted you some more recharge (~55%) and took Hasten.

Here's the build:

For your power choice, I bet you hate energy cloak because of the stealth. It's ok to soft-cap defense without it, so it's not too big a deal. I would drop dark consumption, and pick midnight grasp instead. Energy drain can already take care of your endurance. And I think dark consumption takes too long to recharge to be used as an aoe attack routinely.

For your slotting, there are various places that can be done better. I'll mention a few things. I re-slot your build below, so you can take a look in detail. For your resistance passives, I would just 3-slot them with Aegis. The 4-th Aegis only gives debt protection, which I think is not very useful. I think you over-slot combat jumping. The bonuses from LotG are nice, but I think you gain more by putting the slots elsewhere. You can use eradiation for pbaoe attacks like shadow maul and soul drain, which can help you to soft-cap energy defense. Lastly, you probably want to slot darkest night better for endurance reduction, for example.

Keeping most of your power choices, I re-slot your build below.

Thanks for the build Twilight Snow. I'm still learning how to slot better(You think after 6 years I could, lol). I never learned anything about the HOs because I was never a big raiding fan.
