Hello every one, I am a long time COH player but never really got into using the Forums. But I am going to make a effort to use them more often now. I thought a good way to get started was to ask for some advice on a Kinetic Melee/Fire Armor brute that i have been leveling up. I just made him and he is level 43 at the moment soon to be 50 so i have been working on perfecting his build. I will probably be doing 50% zone pvp(mostly SC), 30% Mission/Farming (Not farming for money but to help friends/SG) and then 20% or so doing TF.


Well this is what i have come up with after spending a long time tweaking the build. Let see how it stands up to the critics.

Here is my Mids Info:

You may get more help in the PvP forum. Most of the people who look at class forums know very little about PvP mechanics.

The long forum export adds a lot of unnecessary text to the page that is annoying to scroll past. The short forum export works fine. Also, post the data chunk because the link does not work for everyone.
