Hello!
My main brute has a fitness legacy build, so im struggling to rebuild him into something worthwhile.
A friend suggested throwing vengeance from leadership in there, but i don't like having to constantly guzzle purples or rely on a dead teammate to get the defence I need.
I'll attempt to post the coding in here, any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
edit: I don't really use OWTS either. I hate the crash.

Maybe I missed a memo somewhere when I was away from the game, but I'm not sure why you would want to (or that you could even) keep a legacy build if you respecced.

But here's three things I'd do differently.

You are getting nice to hit debuffs from DM and of course -to hit works well with the high defense you have built there. I'd maximize that by taking Soul Mastery, and with the extra power choices from inherent fitness, get Darkest Night.

I would also take Dark Obliteration for added -to hit and more AoE dmg.

Last, I'd pull slots from Stamina and/or health add put them in dark consumption to have it recharge faster and have soem accuracy. I think you'd overall get a better end mgmt that way. Its pretty


Mains - Freedom: Croatoa - 50 Fire/Psi Dom, Grandville - 50 SS/Elec Brute, Dark-Astoria - 50 Dark/Fire Scrapper, Pearline - 50 Spines/Regen Scrapper, Caffeine Girl - 50 Earth/Kin Troller

Hi!
Thanks for the feedback, just to clarify, this toon has legacy fitness in the build, as that was when it was made. I just never got around to improving the build, as I couldn't work out what to do with it. Hence posting it here! I'll give those power suggestions a look-see, see if I can work them into my build, but anyone who can actually suggest a build, or throw some code my way, i'd appreciate their help too!

EDIT: I've attached a new build with some improvements. A strange thing to note. The legacy build im currently running, some of the numbers seem to be wildly inaccurate, or im just massively missing something? For example. The legacy build is showing my damage bonus as +275.5%. my recharge is showing (with hasten) at 221.25%.
I've gone over everything, and I cannot for the life of me work out where the hell MIDS is pulling those numbers from!
Anyways. Here is my most recent attempt to create something useful out of this strange combination (Please note - only softcapped defence with the assistance of the Nerve Alpha slot turned on - wanted to save space for other things to go into the build)
Sorry for the length of this!
