Looking to start a new Brute

Hello people,

I've been playing this game for a long time, but mostly dominators. Right now i'm about to start a brute and i'm down to one of these:

Claws/Willpower
Claws/Electric Armor
Claws/Regeneration

Yeah, i like claws...

My question is: which one of these would be more "tough" at end game content (not farm)?
I'll, or at least try to softcap for Smash and Lethal.

Thx everyone!

Of the three I'd make a Claws/Willpower.

When called on to tank, Willpower's weaknesses are difficulty with alphas and a weak taunt aura. Claws addresses both of those.


's doesn't make things plural.

Claws/Elec or /Will would be my stab... And Will out of the box, otherwise thinking they're tied if IO'd.

If you plan to add in IOs- go Claws/elec. I assume you are going this route because of the comment about shooting for soft capped defense. Also, check out the CEBR thread-for more info on this combo. A high recharge, soft capped elec build will fare quite well in end game content. Especially incarnate content.

Here is the Claws/elec thread: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=267375


Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.

Thx everyone for the responses.

I'll probably going to make a Claws/Elec. Willpower looks nice but i think i'm gonna try my hand with /Elec. But i'll probably make a /WP at some point.

Again, thx everyone.

Elec is going to be your best bet of the 3, especially since you're planning on capping S/L.
