Any Patron Powers Useful With One slot?

I am pondering a respec for my Elec/Elec Brute to take advantage of Inherent Fitness.

I skipped the Patron Powers on him on the way for 50 because there were other powers I wanted to take for him. (Primarily because I felt like I needed Tough so I lost two powers there that would have gone to Patron Powers.)


I don't intend to change my slotting. He uses Super Speed as his travel power.

Right now, I'm leaning towards taking Recall Friend (useful for tping teammates who either don't have a travel power or who might not be able to survive the mobs that my Brute could if we decide to skip the enemies in between and run straight to the boss), and the Flight Path (probably Air Superiority to knock down enemies out of the sky and flight for those enemies who I can't reach from the ground).


However, I thought it might be prudent before the respec if I asked if there were any Patron Powers that would be useful with just one slot in them.)

So, yes? No? Maybe?

Yeah Soul Mastery is probably the best choice since the -tohit/dam component of Darknest Night really helps a def challenged set like ELA. As an alternative, Mace Mastery isn't bad also.

Web Envelope: Slot a Acc/Imm/Rec IO and keeps mobs from moving for your AOE. It is also targeted AOE so it tends to hit more mobs than cones.

Focused Accuracy: Pretty self explanatory.

Doesn't really apply in your case if you only have 1 pick... but the pets can be decent with just one slot. They can take the alpha against cheap NPC ( sappers!) and they had damage against AVs. In AV fights, they shouldnt have problem surviving if they are range or if the AV don't have PBaoe.

From Leviathan:
Artic Breath with 1 Acc is still adding -20 Res.

From Soul:
I'll also copy the crowd, Darkest Night.

From Mace:
Again, copy the crowd, Web Envelope. Also not mentioned it has -fly.

Earth Mastery:
Stone Prison: 1 Acc gives -def, -fly. Alternatively if you have tons of Acc, because it is -def you can slot achilles heel proc.

Energy Mastery has a few:
Superior Conditioning
Physical Perfection


I will argue against Focused Accuracy on 1 slot because the end cost is so high. Go with Leadership in that case. Focused Accuracy is technically better because it gives -tohit defense, that leadership doesn't, but the end cost isn't worth it with just one reduction in my opinion. Unless you're drowning in Endurance. Which might make energy Mastery the way to go since it has Superior Conditioning, and Physical Perfection to help with the end costs. Still .79/sec is brutal!

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Well, keep in mind the OP is referring to his /ELA brute. Properly slotted Power Sink makes most endurance issue well... moot. That's the only reason why I suggested it heh.

Would be my choice as well.

Slot with 1 L50 Enzyme HO, as an Ela Brute you should have no issues running it.
