My brute and choosing a power pool


Candlestick

 

Posted

I'm pretty new to this game so any help would be appreciated.

I have created a Mace/Kinetic brute which is now level 12, i havent selected a power pool/travel power thing yet and i'm wondering which to invest in, any suggestions would be helpful and why it would be benificial to me.

By /Kinetic I am assuming you mean /Energy Aura?

Generally speaking, you will want the Fitness pool, and a travel power. From the Fitness pool, you want Stamina, so pick either Hurdle or Swift, then pick Health and Stamina.

For a travel power, Super Jump is an excellent travel power that is good for newer players. Take Combat Jumping, and then Super Jump.

You can have up to 4 power pools.

As for which to pick first? Well that depends. Stamina is very useful, as it will keep your endurance up. A Travel Power's use is obvious, it makes traveling very fast.

If you have temporary travel powers, you can push it off for a bit, but if you don't, I recommend getting a travel power.

How about a fitness and speed combo for stamina and hasten combo?

Pop around the Brute forum a bit more, read some guides, play some sets. A few good starter sets are /Invulnerability, /Willpower, and /Electric.

Good Melee sets? All of them.


My guides:Dark Melee/Dark Armor/Soul Mastery, Illusion Control/Kinetics/Primal Forces Mastery, Electric Armor
"Dark Armor is a complete waste as a tanking set."

I would stick with WM/EA. It is very strong in addition to being pretty.
