My attempt at a SS/SD brute - need some help


Blue_Blaze

 

Posted

I am at L44 with my SS/SD brute and I am having fun. The last few levels have been a bit tough though as I am dying a bit quick in some fights and my end consumption is massive. I usually end up de-toggelling allot which leads toi my deaths as per my previous point.

So I know this isn't the best build ever but that is for a few reasons.

1. I usually don't put IO's/Sets in till level 47 on my builds.
2. I know I have some powers slotted with 4 of the same enhancement which is silly given ED but this is in preparation for hitting level 47 and slotting them with IO sets.

Can anyone make some suggestions on how to improve my endurance please?

Just one thing I noticed was the end red in Rage. That will effect the endurance used when you 'click' rage, not when it crashes. Also, there is no reason at all that an /SD character should have Acrobatics.

All in all, you should be at least kind of fine. Rage Crash will take a good chunk of your endurance. Why would you wait until level 47 to slot IOs? The difference between a level 50 (42%) IO and a level 30 (34%) IO is 8% and when you slot sets, which pop you into ED, you have less than 1% difference. Level 30 IOs have the added benefit of getting your set bonuses down to level 27!



Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
