FM/SD Brute or Scrap?


Fiery-Enforcer

 

Posted

Hello everyone, I've been gone from the game a while playing CO, and have recently come back to the game. I want a Fire Melee/Shield Defence character, but I can't decide wether to make a brute or scrapper. I made builds for both on mids, the scrapper would do more damage with Against All Odds damage buff maxed out then the brute would with fury at around 75 and damage buff from against all odds fully buffed, but the brute would do more damage with his fury in the 75-80 with only one target around him than the scrapper with only one target around him. This new toon will just be for PvE, not really for farming, just an all around TF toon and what not, and was just wondering which I should go with for PvE. Thanks!

Also here are my builds that I made if you want to take a look:

I say Scrap just because I generally haven't fallen for Brutes yet. I suppose my opinion could change once I ding one to 50, but for now I say Scrap.

Since it's SD, go Scrapper.
