Soul Mastery rocks. Gloom is incredible. Darkest night adds a lot of survivability to any brute build, even softcapped ones. Dark Obliteration is fast animating to-hit debuffing AoE goodness.

My DM/WP/SM brute uses all three of those powers heavily.
Be well, people of CoH.
Cool, thanks. Met a guy who acted like it was the dumbest epic to take. Wasn't sure I believed his lies. Just haven't done it for myself yet.
And yeah, I looked all over for epics, patrons, and brute threads, didn't see anything about brute patrons. I'll look search specifically for darkest night. Thanks for the pointer.
Found that post. It's worthless. It only talks about enemy scaling, and defense vs. +level enemies. Doesn't talk about the difference between melee toons darkest night vs defenders, and how well in stacks with defense.
Already answered, but I too believe that Soul Mastery is the best you can do for Brutes.
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

And whoever you spoke with, find them and slap them with a trout.
My guides:Dark Melee/Dark Armor/Soul Mastery, Illusion Control/Kinetics/Primal Forces Mastery, Electric Armor

Soul Mastery: Phail or no?
I know it's awesome for a dark corruptor. Darkest night rules. But how does it work for a Brute? I realize the numbers are a little lower, and it's not backed up by even more debuffs from the set. But even just that and a dark obliteration in the chain should make a difference, especially if you already have some defense right?
In particular, I'm asking about a db/fire brute I'm making now. Fire is naturally gimped by chasing defense. You sacrifice too much chasing after it, and the AT works without it. YOu aren't meant to dodge or resist everything. And you will have to use self rez every now and then. Therefore, chase recharge. But, if you get a little defense on the side, which I did, keep a rough 20% in your head, and combine it with the soul mastery, will that work? Or is it just phail?
