My Brute took both Fitness and Fighting. If I *HAD* to pick just one, it would be Fighting - ELA has enough endurance management in Power Sink to get by without Fitness if it absolutely has to, and Tough is critical for a resistance-heavy secondary like ELA. IMHO, anyway.|

Unfortunately I don't have access to a planner right now but with IOs and CJ and Weave I've go somewhere in the ballpark of 17 % to 18 % defense to S/L on top of my resists. That's nowhere near the soft cap but it is noticable I'm curious if any other ELA brute owners have done the same and how has their experience been whether positive or negative.

Haven't looked into side swapping for a hero side epic pool, though. That might make the decision a lot easier.

Yeah, this is like the biggest thing that will become useless really soon.
"Good news everyone! I cured cancer...."
"....there is a bit of bad news though."
"The world is going to end in a month anyway."

You don't have to side-swap for APPs. Villains now get them automatically at 41 just like heroes.|

Heroes have to transfer for the PPPs, but villains don't have to do anything.

Aye, although it's months away that's what made my decision easier to try it out on live servers rather than test. However for anyone else I'd strongly recommend trying it on Test first, while I am comfortable with PSink / Superior Conditioning and Physical perfection for endurance management ymmv.

Yeah, physical perfection provides exactly half the values of stamina and health combined, and superior conditioning is just an endurance boost of 5 points.

Yea, but don't forget that with Performance Shifter: Chance for +Endurance proc in it it now becomes an auto power that not only raises your endurance but replenishes as well.I mean, 20% chance to get +10% of what your current endurance is just seems awesome to me (roughly 11 points when you have the accolades) |
