Electric/Electric Brute Build


Auroxis

 

Posted

Hi Folks,
I've recently come back to CoH after a lengthy layoff to try out Going Rogue. I currently have a lvl 6 Elec/Elec Brute but I am looking for suggestions for builds. I'll pretty much always be teamed with a Demon Summoning (corrupter I believe). Does anyone have a fun, solid build that I could look at? I'm hearing a lot of 'mehh' things about Elec/Elec for a Brute. Thanks in advance!

Here's one, but it's pretty tight. It relies on the future spiritual alpha core boost for a CI-CB-JL-CB attack chain, and is softcapped.

Thanks for the help Auroxis! What is the verdict on Elec/Elec? Also, what's a good pairing with Electric Melee? From the looks of it, SS/Elec or SM/Elec seem to be solid choices due to the mitigation aspect. I appreciate your help on this!

SS/Elec is a great combo. My favorite brute combo, in fact. SS is endurance heavy and recharge hungry(both are taken care of with Elec Armor), and combines good mitigation with great overall damage.

Elec/Elec is also pretty great. Damn good at draining the endurance of whatever comes your way, and you get BU+LR up faster due to the built in +Recharge.

Other good pairings with Elec Melee are SD and SR. Both have a defense nature that makes it easier to get recharge bonuses through IO's.

SD gives you more oomph to your already great burst AoE damage, it's a very popular combo.

SR gives you the recharge bonus like Elec Armor does, and is probably the cheapest powerset in terms of maximizing its survivability potential.

The downside of the defense based powersets is that once the resistance based sets start putting tons of influence in their builds for +defense(and get softcapped like the build I posted) the defense sets start lagging behind in terms of survivability.


As for Stone Melee, I'm not a big fan. Yes the ST damage is great, and you get incredible levels of mitigation, but I like having AoE damage and SM falls flat on that.

another great pairing. I can't praise it enough. DM/Elec. Dark melee and electric armor just go well too well. Dark melee has end issues but a healing attack that you use as your attack chain and great single target damage. Elec armor solves the end issue and saps them and has a good end/heal power. It was so insanely good on my scrapper i had to do it on my brute to just make it a tank. I can't think of any other powerset pairing for a brute that makes you a great damage dealing unstoppable tank.
You have only 1 weakness Don't miss on your siphon life.

I put DM in the same category as SM. Great mitigation and ST damage, but poor AoE damage.

I wasn't aware DM had endurance issues though, the powers don't really reflect that.

Its powers are fairly high end cost. and you spam them alot. My attack chain is gloom, touch of fear, siphon life, midnight grasp. the damage is quite good. midnight grasp and siphon life now do great damage but are utility powers. you also have soul drain. oh dark consumption isnt that great and isnt needed when you have electric armor. here is my build without the stuff in the slots. but with the slots ready for what i would put in them.
