Yes, now with i19 having been released, I plan on going back and adding Taunt to many Brute builds. Just could not fit it in before as it was a tight fit and something had to give.
TB
I squeezed taunt, fly, and hasten onto my main. Wow. My build is recharge heavy, and I love Hasten, of course. Fly is useful, (thankfully no more jet pack vendor), and will be great on Master attempts.
What i was surprised about was how great Taunt works. Even when soloing. with the range debuff in it it makes a noticeable difference. Maybe this is only for some brutes, but I am Dark/Invul. i nedd the mobs tight on me for defense and for my power Boost Radial AoE. I LOVE TAUNT. Now just need to decide to put a range or a taunt effect enhacer in it, I am thinking range.
The Brute version of the Body Mastery Pool, Energy Mastery, is awesome, because of Superior Conditioning. Just shy of +10 End Points when 3 slotted with L50 Common End Mod IOs.
