Brute has the slower recharge times.

So more time waiting for powers to recharge so you have something to click?

Nah, just means slot more +recharge and click at the same speed but for more damage. =)

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

How does the damage compare between Brutes and Scrappers when it comes to claws, anyways?

I think somewhere it was mentioned for scrappers it's more ST based and brutes it's more AoE based. I got my Claws/dark to 20 so it's too early too tell. Spin is so good on either build it kind of makes it hard to determine who it works out for early on.

I had a claws\dark brute for awhile that got to the mid-20's. Didn't make the cut for me, but there was nothing technically wrong with it..I've even regretted the delete, but it as nice having death shroud to widdle some health off guys and then firing spin to finish them off (or the other way around), that plus dark regeneration and claws lower endurance cost really worked well...Even makes me want to give it another shot as I talk about it. For me, the only problem with dark armor is that dark regeneration is prohibitive to use unless you have the theft of essence proc in it, which on my dark\dark brute changed the whole game around.

Since the Fury changes, I believe Scrapper Claws > Brute Claws for single-target DPS. AOE for Brutes still may be better due to Spin having a higher base dmg (if that's true).

I know my Claws/SR Brute doesn't get the same performance vs. Pylons with an identical chain as scrappers.

DA is very much a "If you are willing to invest in it" set. I have a DA/stone tank as well and it's definitely being looked at as being something I'm willing to break open the bank to see what it can really do. Even at 32 with SOs, I can see the potential of it. And yes, I'm switching to IOs before I level further.
