FE doesn't give a bigger bonus to fire damage than to other damage types anymore.
I prefer Soul Mastery. Two AoEs from Mu are great, but I like to have Gloom and Dark Obliteration instead in most cases.
Soul Mastery. If you're taking the cone don't, it's terrible. Gloom, Dark Obliteration, and Darkest Night are awesome. Mu is better for farming though.

Another thing I was thinking was that if I went with Pyre it'd be less end spent on throwing 2 AOE's compared to 1 and it does almost 270 dmg...the 2 AOE's together from MU do around 340~350ish dmg, but like I said that's alot of end being thrown every 5-7 sec. So, FE doesn't give Fire dmg 100% boost anymore?
Soul, Mu and Pyre.
Soul
- Adds the best ST attack you can get in an epic/patron pool (Gloom)
- Adds a decent TAoE attack with -To Hit benefit
- Gives the option of Darkest Night for added survival tools.
MU
- Allows for adding 2 TAoEs (Ball Lightning & E-fences) and is the best option for stuffing more AoE into a build.
- Has a decent ranged attack in Mu lightning
PYRE
- Adds the best up front damage TAoE available (as Ball Lightning & E-fences are DoTs)
- Adds a decent ranged attack
- Forces you to take an extra power to get access to the above.

FE does not care what kind of damage the attack does and provides a single damage benefit for all powers you use while it is active.

Gloom, Dark Oblit and Darkest Night are the prime choices in soul.
I prefer Soul & Mu myself depending on builds needs as I usually do not have the spare power choice to waste on Char or Fire Ring.

- Alpha = Cardiac
- Interface = Reactive
- Judgement = Anything but Cryonic. I like Void Radial for the -Damage debuff to enemies
- Destiny = Barrier for FA, Rebirth is a great choice as well
- Lore = Personal Preference Here is a list of Lore Pet DPS, it doesn't take into consideration AoE attacks of the various pets nor does it make any distinction between ranged & melee. It only covers the Core line, which is damage focused.
That's the question, I have a SS/FA (well don't we all); however, I have Mu patron right now, and was thinking of switching to Pyre so FE will give the Pyre set more dmg. The only thing is, it's one AOE compared to the 2 from MU. Also, I know some use soul to get that -to hit debuff to help cap def. I just don't like the cone it's seems not to hit a lot of units unless you jump out of mob and then have to jump back in for Burn.
So, what do most of you Brutes out there perfer?
Also, comments on the Alpha and other iPowers, as in what y'all use what's considered the "best" I use the term losely as I've seen diffrent strokes for diffrent fokes so far. Just wondering what MOST Brutes are using.
Criteria: This is for Farming puposes and TF/SF's Thanks.
