My war mace\energy armor brute is at (or well over) the soft cap to everything but Psi (and that's at ~20%) and it really wasn't hard to do (surprisingly so). Before soft-capping he was kind of rough around the edges, but now, unless I run into something that has -def I steam roll though stuff. I even ran with some 8 man pugs yesterday as the only tank\brute on the team and tanked (spamming taunt with my AoE's) the entire time (that's right!) and my green bar barely moved if ever. EA's biggest weakness is that it has no -def resistance, so IF something with -def hits you, you'll get the full effect.|

Normally soft-cap is all you really need as the rest is a waste, but I argue that with energy armor, it's a different story because of its hole in -def resistance. Going off memory, I have over %50 def to s\l\e and that has served me VERY well. I can look later if you're interested on some ideas on just how to get to the soft-cap (and over it), but I do know that I didn't use one set from kinetic combat, which is where most people go.

Just barely doable? I sure hope you dont me it very difficult. I just messed around with mids and in 3min got a claws/EA softed capped to s/l/e/f/c without even finishing a build.
But yeah, what krom said.

My DM/EA is soft capped to all but Psi as well. With the -to hit, he's even harder to hit. Honestly, it's very easy to soft cap EA without using up too many slot or sacrificing enhancement values. I can post the template that just shows what you need for defense, if you like. |

Overall, he was a fun Brute to play.
