Of course you know that we need to use more inspirations "to get the job done." I guarantee that you have to use the same amount of inspirations to survive those +4 ambush farms, capped resistance doesn't cut it against them. Pro tip, I use red inspirations more than anything.
And are you talking about putting Healing Flames on auto? That's just terrible and doesn't make a difference, you're still animating the power which equals to less killing time.

As I said earlier I use 2 purple for defence when its a huge mob and I do just fine at that. I never pop a res insps ever and mostly just combine them into purple and I use reds and yellows all the time.
And no I happen to love healing flames on auto and its been just awesome. I don't have to hammer greens to stay alive. A heal every 13 to 16 seconds is fine and does not bother me at all and the mobs die just the same.
I can already tell its much more frantic for you than it is for me.

It sounds like the opposite to me if you have to use Healing Flames every time it's back up.

Candlestick and Chaos Creator, thank you so much. Quick update, I have put the brute project on hold. I have him blueside already, but haven't done much. The project has been postponed for a stone/dark tank that I'm leveling at the moment. Thanks again. The thread is yours.

Wow...I missed a TON by not visiting this thread :-/
Someone sounds like they had their cheerios pissed in. Think Candlestick pretty much said anything that needed to be said. +4/8 is easy, yes even on my lawlbuild.
Love the fact that Mrs Jelley Belley never posted a build on the SS/Fire they don't even have.
And welcome to ignore, Jack Wagon.
BTW - Silas, that pic almost made me spit out my Magic Hat Hex!

Also, that. you dont need Temp Pro. WE have a thing called Footstomp for mitigation+damage. They don't shoot when they're on their ***. And with all the brutes I have, why WOULDNT I build it just to sit in AE and PL my ruptors and domis? |

Elec doesnt have enough ST to take bosses fast enough, so now Mrs Jelley Belley, your Elec/Fire could NOT go +4/8 faster than mine. Have fun trying though.

I thought you were thanking us for going completely off topic or something which made no sense. Sigh, I'm tired.
I need 90% res since +3 bosses wreck me otherwise. when i´m not running with an alt i just load up on reds and watch the beauty of a firey embraced lightning rod

I don't get it what reason is there NOT to get temp protect if what you are going to be doing is an AE fire farm? (or am i completely lost and you are talking about something else?)

I'd much rather have Weave as a LotG mule then temp protection. Tough is not useless for 99.9% of the game and I actually have Boxing slotted up with a purple set. Also, I didn't build my Brute just to go against fire enemies, that's stupid IMO, he's tough enough without it. Using purples in those farms are much more useful than capped resistance anyway.

So I'm making a Brute on my alt account. SS/Fire, as per the thread. He's going to be used to help my lowbies cruise on through the lower levels when/if I get bored or make something that doesn't get fun until level X.
Anyway, being an alt account, and one I'm not going to keep active at all times, I want to make a farmer on the cheap. By cheap I mean no purples, not loaded with super expensive uniques, and under the 500m mark if possible.
On this build I've broken a few of my rules, but the KB prot, LotG, and Healing uniques are things I already have, so that doesn't matter. The purple proc I put in footstomp is pretty much a "that would be nice" placeholder, but I can put a "normal" proc in there for the time being.
If anyone could offer and suggestions or tweaks, that would be cool. Here it is:

I dunno I think it may be hard with out any defence. I would at least use oblits on Fiery Aura inplace if the frankin slotting there to get more recharge and accuracy. You are also at the cap for your end bonus on your impervium armor so might think something else could help you out better there. Also the faster you can get Firey Embrace up the better. I would toss RotP.. and maybe try darkest night as for you it might help you not get hit so much.
So that's why you left it out of your build right? Lets see... um oh ya "lawlz"
Hmm that must be some tight build you have there.. wow.
Tip:
You know you can autofire that so you don't have to push a button right? That works pretty well.. cause I use it and have been happy with the results so far.
FYI:
I also use insps like candy as I mentioned.. I just don't need as many as your toon's do to get the job done.
I also have a Fire/SS..tank = boring
Now we are done here.
