Stuck again with yet another reroll idea for my Brute...
EA is great, but WP is more rounded, and doesn't have as many holes as EA. Which o e is more fun is personal preference. If you do decide to roll EA, I'd skip cardiac. Between energize and energy drain, EA has more than enough endurance management. EA also does not have enough resistance to make cardiac worthwhile. I'd stick with spiritual to boost the heal and Regen component of energize and to help make it permanent.
When you start looking at Alphas, take a good look at Vigor for your WP. A Vigor Core Paragon has 45% regen, and 33% End Redux and Acc- all at 2/3rds above ED. I tested this on Beta with a TW/WP Brute.. VERY NICE!
As for Alphas for EA? I'm thinking Agility. Again, the Core Paragon has 45% End Mod (which will make Energy Drain ridiculous) and 33% to Recharge and a 20% Defense buff.

I think you're right about sticking with WP, I just get so many ideas and don't know what to do with them :-p
And are the new Alpha powers live yet? Along with TW? I haven't been able to log on since last week.

I love playing my SS/WP Brute and he is level 32 right now and just picked up foot stomp. I had this crazy idea earlier to remake him as SS/EA because the new changes to /EA have caught my attention since they came out but I never had the urge to play it. Both fit thematically and conceptually. My question is "Would it be worth it to restart the character at this point or just ride it out to the end and put off my altitis?" Is /EA a bigger bag of fun than /WP? Does the end game survivability change greatly between the two?
As it stands now, I plan to get him IO'd out eventually to be softcapped and etc and pick up spiritual as the alpha slot. But if I went this other route, I'd still IO him out but probably go cardiac for the alpha.
Thanks for any feedback!
