Highest Single Target DPS Power Set

To give some background, my goal is to to make a toon capable of soloing AV's. I figured a brute would be good for that, given that they tend to be good for damage, sturdy enough to take the aggro, and they have higher base hitpoints then a scrapper.. I am thinking shield for the secondary, because of the damage buff as well as it's ability to have capped defenses and some s/l resistance.

So my real question is, what Brute Primary Power Set does the Highest Single Target DPS?

Thanks for your help/ridicule.

You will be ridiculed with your 1 post asking for a top build. There is the "read-the-forums" answer as this topic has been beat to death on the Scrapper and Brute forums. The Rikti Pylon thread on the Scrapper Forum is a good place to start especially if you look at the pre-Incarnate times of the different Primary/Secondary combos. Yeh, it's a lot to read. Spoonfeeding is bad, m'kay?

TLDR: 1 target, with AAO & Soul Drain saturated, DM/SD at present. Then again, there are better Pylon times from MMs, Crabs, and Corrs. But if you are set on Brute that's probably it. FM/SD with saturated AAO is probably second. And the scrapper versions probably outperform the Brute versions. Those would be my guesses.

Cool, pointing me in the right direction is good enough for me. Being ridiculed is to be expected so no big problem there. Thanks for your help Granite Agent.

One small question though, what does TLDR stand for?

I'm pretty sure FA>SD on brutes for single target damage. Burn is a very good single target attack, Blazing Aura works great with Fury, and Fiery Embrace is amazing.

The current best pylon time holder for brutes(might overtake scrapper times as well) is an SS/FA/Soul brute.

Is there a listing of average Single Target DPS per Brute Primary without factoring in things outside said primary?

I'd be curious where Energy Melee stands.

Interesting information here, still looks like Super Strength is the top contender. However, where does Street Justice go in all of this this? While it isn't released yet a person can pull up the numbers on live.

Anyone able to crunch the DPS on this set? Its advantages would be an attack that does -7.5% Resistance, its Extreme attack does 11.052 (At level 3) brawl index compared to KO blow's 9.889. (Unenhanced values)

Pretty much the damage per activation times of Street Justice's attacks are (at 50):

Initial Strike -- 43.79
Heavy Blow -- 45.22
Sweeping Cross Level 3 -- 46.826
Rib Cracker -- 41.39 (This power debuffs a target's resistance by 7.5%)
Shin Breaker -- 51.43
Crushing Uppercut, at level 0 61.12 and level 3 76.4

Gloom is 66.73 for those wondering.

Super Strength's attacks are : (Excluding Jab and Hurl)

Punch -- 34.76

Haymaker -- 45.6

KO Blow -- 66.58

Granted though the above does not have perma rage factored in and depending on Recharge could have double rage at times. Although you would have to calculate the DPS loss from the 10 second unless you did a veteran attack chain of Sands of Mu, Blackwand (With damage bonus), Nemesis Wand.

Anyways, anyone able to calculate where Street Justice stands?

Has anyone yielded good DPS chain with Energy Melee? I think it's the top in DPA, but I never see Energy Melee toons much these days.

I wonder if a Street Justice/Fire Armour Brute will have high DPS than the SS/FA? I see some of the ideas/numbers on here but I just don't know.
