Quite the opposite.
Brutes are pretty much a hybrid of Scrappers and Tankers. They have the same baseline (roughly) as Scrappers, but they have the taunt auras and capability of a Tanker, along with a Tanker's limitations when it comes to buffability (and even moreso, offensively), with hit points that are a bit above a scrapper's. Their inherent leads to a non-stop pace, killing everything in their path until there's nothing targettable left, and they accept that their PBAoE powers will not work on their teammates, no matter how hard they mash the button while nearby their allies.
tl;dr -- No.
Oh sounds awesome :P Well thx for the reply ^^ I can see how they could be a hybrid I guess ^^
But how do they really fare in pvp then? I mean they wont have the time to build up their rage all the sudden ?
Yeah, it's a different story for pvp. Fury generation isn't going to happen unless you're fiteklubbing. You can make some strong pvp brutes, but you're probably better off with a tank or a scrapper.
Hey yall, I just wanted to ask, as I never played tank myself, but a lot of people seem to say that Brutes are nothing but a twisted and weak sister of the tank, is that correct ? O_o
