Take Gloom from Soul Mastery.
In Mids', go to Window then Powerset Comparison. On the left side, select "Damage / Anim" to view DPS values for attacks.
Kick is worse DPS than just about every attack available in your primary and ancillary pools.
Forming a seamless attack chain is important. Gloom should be in the chain if you want absolute maximum DPS because it does more DPS than almost every other attack available to Brutes.
Dont have any of the programs to post my build but iv been looking over what i can and cant do and it seems the only power that i could take is jump kick, so im wondering. . .is it worth taking it over combat jumping for a lil more ST damage? Any other pointers would be helpful, ty.
