I'm looking for a few opinions regarding the build I planned for my latest Brute and if it will perform in practice.
I aim to put this char through the Incarnate grinder and thought that Electric Armor might be a good choice for that.
The idea of the build is, in addition to the usual resists from Electric Armor, to have decent S/L/N/E defenses, complemented by Darkest Night. Then some +recharge, helped greatly by Lightning Reflexes and a Spiritual Alpha (the plan is to get the 45% one), providing more frequent heals from Energize and gaining endurance regularly from Power Sink.
And, if possible, keeping the build within my budget, which at this moment is approx. 1.3 billion inf and 12 A-merits
Beyond that, I'm planning to use Reactive (DoT plus -res, which should help Claws), Storm Elementals (for thematic reasons) and am torn between Barrier (more def & res) or Ageless (end plus +recharge).
The things I'm not sure about in this build are :
* choice of Destiny - Barrier (instinctively my first choice), Ageless or even Rebirth ?
* slotting of Health, Stamina and Lightning Field. Achieving my defense and recharge goals left me with 0 slots to put into those three powers.
With the +regen from Energize being up fairly often no slots in Health shouldn't matter. I hope the same holds for Stamina with endurance covered by Power Sink. LF, on the other hand ... no idea if the single Acc/End in there is enough.
* Gloom. I heard that Gloom is a nice attack and was wondering if I should try to include (a properly slotted) Gloom in my attack chain.
Thanks in advance for your opinions and suggestions !
