I love my Dual Blades/Energy Aura Brute!
It's got enough ST to solo an AV, and enough AoE to clear mobs fast.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
Dark synergizes well with defense sets like EA. The to-hit debuff works to reduce the number of hits that get through, and Siphon Life is a lot more viable as a heal than Energy Drain. The downside is that Dark doesn't have much in the way of AoE. I assume holding aggro would be difficult if that were something you wanted to do, especially with EA's unsupressed stealth power.
Hi all, well im back for a very long 12month break so thought its time to join the forums and get heavily back into the game. I have missed alot by the looks of things.
Anyways im rolling a new Brute, ive got my secondary sorted Energy Aura (was a tough choice between Fire and Dark but i havn't really played EA and it seems fairly good). However i am stuck on a primary.... At first it was EM then it was DM then KM now back to DM.
Basically i want a good solo Brute that can also bring a good punch to a team. Because i have been away for a while im not too sure what goes with what. Though im 90% sure i want EA as a secondary.
Please help me get over my confusion..
