Stone Melee / Inv help

Posted

I've been playing CoX for a long time but never really got guts to really post up on the forums that much. Now has come time for me to start askin for suggestions or builds for a brute I have. Right now I'm at lvl 45 and although what I do have slotted now she's a tough cookie aside from a head on collision of psi damage. Basically I'm posting up what I have slotted as of yet but wondering if I might be nerfing myself or goin in the wrong direction. My resistance is pretty high and dont know exactly what other route I might be able to take. Any suggestions or other builds would be welcome and appreciated since I dont see that many Inv brutes out there.

Tons of views and no replies... C'mon everyone I was at least hoping for one response aside from my own lol. Guess I'll give it some more time and see if I can pull one in.

Your build is ok. There is no unique way to build an inv brute. Some focus on defense (mainly s/l/e/ne), some on recharge, or a mix of these two things. Based on your build, I finish your build with a focus on s/l defense and recharge. You can tweak it for higher e/ne defense if you like.

Its looking good. I would finish 4 slotting the two mallet attacks with kinetic combats and toss either gift of the ancients or red fortunes in the defense powers. Gift of the ancients work with the slots as they are, giving you more endurance/recovery and fire resistance. Red fortunes work well if you can move slots around to get the recharge and possibly energy/neg defense bonus's. You should try to get more slots in fault to up its recharge and stun.

If you are not familiar with defense softcapping, its 45%.
