Brutes play more like scrappers than tanks. On teams they *can* tank, but I've never built any of mine for that.
You are correct that Rage+Fury+AAO will allow for silly damage output. Have all that pushing on foot stomp and dark obliteration from soul mastery and then crank up your mitigation with darkest night, it'll be nice.
Be well, people of CoH.
I have a SS/SD Brute and I play mine just like a Scrapper, it really doesn't feel any different at all. Rage+Fury+AAO is great and you can put out some great damage.

I wish we had double stacked rage on scrappers but I am sure that would be stupid broken

LOL that is an argument waiting to happen so let me start it. According to some its not broken on Tankers or Brutes, but if Scrappers got it, it'd be broken. |

It is to the point that the majority of the teams I have joined when they have a tanker it is mainly something/ss

Hey guys.
Sorry for not posting this in the Tank or Brute forums but I wanted to get a scrappy point of view on this.
I just hit lvl 50 on my eighth Scrapper last night and I want to try something a tiny bit different...for me anyways.
I want to make either a SD/SS Tank or SS/SD Brute. My question is simple: Which one feels more "scrappy?" I would assume the obvious answer would be the Brute but...*shrug*
The idea of fully saturated AAO, Rage and a full Fury bar just sounds so good to me BUT I've never played a Brute and I've only played one Tank before.
I've recently discovered the joys of AOE carnage (FM/SD and ELM/SD!!!!) so I'm excited to see what kind of responses I get.
Thanks!
