KM/NRG brute build for reivew


Deus_Otiosus

 

Posted

Hi all I have just dinged 50 on my new KM/NRG brute and she sure feels "Pretty and Strong" and hope to make her stonger by IOing out. I will be using her for TF/SF SG events and trials and lots of solo work as well. The build I am planning aims to softcap to S/L/E/N/F/C with a good amount to rechage (which should get better after I21), regen, and do nice single Target damage backed up by the AEO of Burst. As always I think my build plan looks ok but sure the forum build masters might have a few ideas to make it even better. Cash is no probs and I do have a spare Glad proc but thought this build did not need it but can use it if it helps to max out performance.

Side note I have to keep fly and hover in build for concept.

Thanks for all your help in advance.

Great spot thank. I have removed and swaped it for a Hami-O for some more def and end reductions.

Any more help would be great.

You don't need the extra slot in fly as speed is capped with no enhancements though I guess you're using it for the set bonus.

Entropy shield is if anything a Res set yet you've slotted for Def, I'm guessing because it enhances Def-Debuff Protection (mids doesn't show that sort of thing).

Drop the 2nd slot from fly, and 2nd slot from Entropy Shield

Put both into boxing/kick, and slot Something into that, personally I'd probably go with Pounding Slugfest and get the Nrg/Neg + Ranged but YMMV.

However as I'm currently working on my own KM/Nrg this build has certainly given me something to work toward.

edit:
I'd also argue for putting Reactive Armor into Dampening field, yes you lose some fire/cold but you gain smash/lethal. Of course you also lose the psionic res, but at only 3% I wonder how much effect that would be. :/

Edit2:
You don't mention incarnate but I'd be inclined to chase recharge through Alpha and drop a slot from hasten to slot into tough (or a res power) for the PvP Unique (+3% Def to All)

This is with t3 Spiritual Alpha

Nice one yes I had slotted ES to try and buff defence debuff Res, however, from Mids it seems to make no difference. I do like the surgested changes to increase regen, so thx for that. I would like to max out this build as much as pos and it is certenaly seems to be getting there.

Any more help would be great.

The best help I can give you is to tell you to wait until the EA revamp to plan a build, since several of the powers might have new ways to be slotted.

Which if you have want you can have a look later today/early tomorrow. Though I suspect Mids will lag behind that a little.

Yes it does. Under Totals, on the Status tab, Defense Debuff Resistance is the top item under Debuff Resistance.

Correct. Most Defense Debuff Resistance is non-enhanceable. To my knowledge, only Super Reflexes and Shield Defense have enhanceable DDR, and not all of the DDR in Shields is enhanceable.

Ah yeah knew about that tab and looked at it, it didn't change when I removed the extra hami-o, so I didn't think it changed with slotting change at all. (Didn't switch power on/off to test my assumption either.)
