I think its safe to say that brutes really got the better end of the deal when it came to the epic pool proliferation.

Personally, I'm liking the Dominator ones over the Brute ones - by the time I get to the 40s if my endurance isn't under control already I built something wrong... but I suppose to each their own.

I hate this proliferation on principle - they replaced Conserve Power in this set with a throw away ability, rather than fixing the only set that Conserve Power conflicted with. Darn it! Devs, you know you're going to have to change that in Energy Aura sooner or later, why do you keep choosing 'later'?|

...
That said, Superior Conditioning (last I checked) just gave a boost to your maximum Endurance, in the form of 5 points (unslotted. I think you could get maybe 8 points by slotting it up, but that would be a waste.)
I know it takes basic Endurance Modification IOs. Does anyone know if it take sets? If so... then Dang, the devs left open a massive exploit. The ability for ANY brute to slot up to three Performance Shifter procs? Talk about no more Endurance issues, ever...

Generally I would agree, but once you start getting into the high-performance territory of massive recharge, and all toggles + fighting pool that brutes are wont to do, then endurance becomes an issue again.|

My guess is that players that can keep their end under control through IOs will probably stick with soul mastery. For those who don't have the inf or would rather focus on other set bonuses, energy mastery becomes a very convenient pool indeed.

Pretty sure it takes sets, but I didn't have any Brutes on the beta high enough level to check.|

As you said was likely, I'll probably just keep Gloom.

It's actually quite good, as increasing your max endurance by 9 to 10 points (which it roughly does when slotted) increases the potency of all preexisting recovery bonuses. |

I used to have a Brute with 120 points of endurance through accolades and set bonuses-- it provided a huge boost to recovery relative to the base of 100 as it actually enhances BASE recovery as well as that obtained through skills. I might make a toon with 135 endurance just for the heck of it.

Yes by the 40s brutes are normally under controll as well. But when you start adding more and more recharge and you are able to have an attack chain of 3 aoe attacks and have to deal with rage crashes and hasten crashes. |

Then again 2 of the 3 aoe attacks are in the Mu tree so just skipping those attacks would probably solve my end issues

stam/PP/QR on a /WP brute will be win.

Procs aren't limited by the rule of 5, which applies to just set bonuses and globals. You could have a ToD %Chance for negative in 12 single target attacks and be fine.

I stand corrected, although that is crazy to fathom.

I saw this and was very happy. I have already made plans to take my Fire/Dark Brute to hero so I can take advantage of this.
And with the merged markets maybe I can finally get the IO's I have been needing without having to spend billions.

Only heroes that want their PPPs need to switch sides (to run the arc) to do so. And once they're unlocked, you can use them even if you do a respec as a hero.

That's awesome!
I was under the impression you had to switch sides. I really didn't want to switch him anyway, so that works out great for me.
