Request - Dark/Dark/Mu Brute


Black_Assassin

 

Posted

So...I'm thinkin about reviving my Brute. I'm recently returned and his build is ancient, pre inherent fitness...

What I would like is an IO build I can throw together now and a set build to work t'wards...if possible the same power slotting to make things easier on me...I have a bad habit of messing up respecs. Exemplaring is a concern but not a primary focus.

I know the set is versatile and can be good DPS iirc and was always fun if not uber for me I'd hate to leave him rotting so please help!

I must have the only lvl 50 dark/dark brute in existence...post about /fire or fire/ and everyone and their mom has sumthin to say lol

I have 4 respecs so i guess ill just play around with em using info from posts that cover either or.

I'd probably go Dark/Dark/Soul - Gloom is awesome. I have Soul Mastery on both of my high level brutes. I've played both DM and DA just not together. Let me see what I can draft up for you.

I would appreciate any input...back when i ran him a lot Mu was extremely usefull. Especially after I slotted electric fences with a hold proc lol


 

Posted

I'm not at pc right now so don't have access to mids but this is what I can see so far

-stamina is under slotted i would say 1 +end proc and 2 end mods (shifted to 55 each if u have the boosters spare)
-slot health with the numi/miracle/pana uniques
- slot siphon life with 3 acc/dam and 3 heal/end HOs
- dark regen wants the ToE +end proc and then frankenslot to get to max rech/ end redux
- switch out to soul gloom is hot and darkest night is nice also
- don't bother slotting micro filaments in fitness SOs/IOs will be fine
- pick OG or CoF ( cloak of fear needs a lot of help to become useful)
- personally I would slot 5 armas and the %BU in soup drain
Rest would be slotting to get to 32.5% def to s/l/e/n or m/r/(aoe)

Hope this is both good and helpful advice

Flamewarden,

Here's what I came up with so far. This build has no purples/pvp IOs and while it has sets is really a frankenslotted build as both DM and DA are slot intensive.

Roughly 32.5% to S/L DEF / 12 points of KB protection / Decent amount of recharge.
Mitigation tools include Darkest Night / Touch of Fear / Oppressive Gloom
I skipped Shadow Punch and would use Boxing as its replacement (while it is not the exact same thing it does almost comparable damage).

Take a look here:

You may also want to repost your build in the scrapper and brute forums for additional suggestions / player experience (If you post in the scrapper forums just let them know in the title - aside from Patron pools the sets are identical and learning and looking at what others did in their build could help you gain insight).

Good hunting
