Returning player. Three 50 Brutes under my belt (EM/WP, SS/EA, Elec/Stone).

I have concerns about the power selection available:

Claws?
Battle Axe?
Dual Blades?
War Mace?

And secondaries:

Super Reflexes?
Shield Defense?

Could you elaborate more? What are your goals? What kind of advice are you seeking?

Claws: Don't seem very SMASH...
Dual Blades: More SLASH than SMASH...

How do we generate Fury with these things?

War Mace & Battle Axe: A little...slow? Slow attacks aren't conducive to Fury generation.

um, you generate fury by attacking...so you generate it by attacking with you powers.

Imo, it a myth that slower attack generate less fury.

Slower attacks generate more Fury per attack, I always figured.

Haha, yeah i totally worded that wrong.

As far as i know all attacks generate same fury so a slower attack does generate less fury/min. But there are two reasons this will have little if any affect on your actual fury levels.
1. Fury is not only generated by you attacking but also by being attacked. This means that you cannot even attack and still have quite a bit of fury.
2. Even at level one you will have at least 3 attacks. Get into IOs and you have +rech that slower base rech isn’t even that noticeable.

So, even though individual slower attacks generate less fury/min compared to faster attacks. You will still be able to rech the same levels of fury because you generate a lot of it from being attacked AND you will be able to have a decent attack chain either way.
