What Def do you focus on for Claw/Elec

Ok,

So thinkin of my next brute build. For Claw/Elec do you focus on positional defenses or the others (no I cant think now)?

S/L. It covers about 98% of the attacks in the game. even 30% S/L def with your resists would make things a pushover.

Built mine for S/L defense, with good results.

Cool thanks. Ill work on that. Never done any kind of claws before...sooo..should be interesting

Anyoen got a guide for claws for brutes...none under guide section. But I guess /elec has changed a ton since I last looked at it too....

Ill play with mids

aye, play with mids. start by 4 slotting your attacks and use kinetic combats in them. expensive (unless you use A-merits) but well worth it.

Do I really need to soft cap S/L? Im having issues tryin to get it high enough. Still playing around with Mids and working on the character concept I want to.

here is what I came up with now.

I have to run get kids registered in new school lada lada lada...

Even 30% def to S/L on a resist based secondary will make a massive difference.

So does that build I posted look ok?

Have a new idea/theme im working on costume now....is Energy any good? Easy to cap all defense....except a couple. But I think id rather have /Elec. Just threw that in cause /Energy looked neat
