I'm probably going about this slightly wrong I realized. I have been trolling for DM/Invul builds from past posts.
Based on what i want from the brute, it seems like I should be trying to near cap my (er, typed?) defenses. (positional?)
But i do not know the most effecient way to do this. Any help?
You should be trying to Soft Cap your S/L Defense first, then E/N, then whatever F/C you can get. Reactive Armor's, Smashing Haymakers, Kinetic Melee's, etc.
I did a SS/Invul Brute build with Soft Capped S/L Defense and over 25% to the rest of the positionals. Also has 70% S/L Resistance. I didn't use purples.
4 Kinetic Melee sets. 3 Titanuim Coating sets. 1 Gaussian set. Mocking Beratement (Mostly for the recharge because Perfect Zinger has better S/L numbers). 1 Obliteration set. This is with Tough/Weave, plus Combat Jumping. It can be done with Reactive Armor sets and Smashing Haymaker's Depending on your budget. Call me Awesome has a great guide to Invuln and reaching the Soft Cap.
Good luck, hope I helped a small bit.
Life is something that happens while making other plans.
I found this in an old post, I am trying to build a strong old Invul machine, so trying to near cap on regular defenses, not trying to fill the blach hole of Psi Defence.
Is this a good start? Will all my purples help? lol
