I don't know...I liked claws for brutes, it hits a LOT harder than it does for Scrappers.
You get an early AoE (spin), you get a cool build up like power (follow up) that doesn't crash like Rage does (though it can miss, a weakness rage doesn't have).
I leveled a claw/wp to 50 and I enjoyed it the entire time.
Proud member of the Cole-a-lition.
Fighting to make every reality, a better reality.
I'm playing a claws/WP right now and it's the fastest leveling character I've ever played. Along those lines I've got 2 lvl 50 brutes with /ELA (SS and EM) and I like the ELA secondary. Lots of utility and good overall dmg res, at least for my needs.
Coolin. Thanks. I'll work him up Tues. then.

Claws4brutes is balls out awesome and you should love it.
Claws on a brute is so good that it needs no guide.
Be well, people of CoH.
If you plan IOing the toon, here's what i made :

I have a Claws/Elec, and while he's a blast to play, I'm going to be making a Claws/WP come Tuesday-ish.
I made a Claws/WP Loyalist during the Closed Beta to test with, and I tore everything up, and then some.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
Claws is going to be used pretty much exactly as it is on a Scrapper, too. I don' t know that you really need a specific guide for it. The whole "thing" for Claws is fast recharges and low end costs, so I don't think there's much to do except go forth and SMASH.
Next project after Kin/Elec will be Claws/Elec
Might tweak. Might not.

I noticed there are no Claws Brute guides. Is that cuz claws for brutes bites as a set. I notice SS is the big love set for brutes, but really, is claws any good? I have a theme idea, but if the set for brutes bites I'll try something else.
