Yet another titan weapons question

hey folks...

Soon as these servers come back up, I'm making 2 TW characters. One will be a scrapper, the other a brute. One will be /EA, the other /Elec. Which do you think would work better on the scrapper in general (tw/ea or tw/ele)?

Well, to answer this the other way, I think that the /Elec would work better on the Brute, since damage auras play nicely with Fury. So I'd make the /EA the Scrapper.

Plus Brute /Elec has a taunt aura and if you're into godmodes (I like them), Power Surge is much better on a Brute.

I agree with Aett_Thorn.
Also, since Elec is resistance based and brutes can reach a higher level resistance is another reason to go brute with Elec.

I plan to make an Elec/TW Tank, but I have to concur with everyone else that Elec would be better on the Brute.

Cool. I was leaning that way, just kind of needed a bit of validation. Thanks all.

Brute /EA has a taunt aura in Entropic Armor, too.

So does the Scrapper version.

Echoing what others have said, /elec works better for Brutes because...

- Higher resistance cap that'll get you 90% energy resist
- A fury boosted damage aura with a built-in taunt effect

Either set is fine on either AT, but Brutes pull ahead slightly with /elec.

Fair point, and if I hadn't already done an Elec Brute I'd probably roll that up.

TW/Energy has something going for it, though: the ability to cloak with a giant sword. In your face, Stalkers.
