What Tank primary or Brute Secondary are you looking into. I would imagine that plays a roll in some of the power selection so the community can help you compare.

so, Titan Weapons. looks really exciting to me, looks powerful. so this brings me back to the age old question, Tank or Brute? is it the same answer, Brutes just do more damage, and Tanks take more damage? how well does the Tank handle TW, how's the damage for them? i guess i'm trying to get at, how big is the damage difference between tanks and brutes with TW, since i don't know this new powerset at all. thanks for indulging an old player! any insight would be appreciated! |
ah, good point. sorry. Electric Armor.
-Damage auras are WAY better on Brutes.
-TW's big AoEs are WAY better on brutes.
-Electric Armor Brutes and Tanks will both easily cap their Energy Resistance. Brutes will get about 60% Smashing/Lethal Resistance (including Tough), whereas Tanks can get 80%.
-Tanks get Energize at level TWELVE. Brutes have to wait until 28. They also get Lightning Reflexes 2 levels earlier.
-Tanks have to wait until 35 and 38 to get their two best attacks, which Brutes get at 26 and 32 (but that's true for most Tank/Brute melee sets).

thanks for the input! ok, so right now it's looking like Brute again for me. =) are either AT in more demand at high levels?
also, a sort of related question: does recharge reduction synergize with TW, given momentum and the long animation times?
The animations are actually quite fast, except the momentum builder once every few seconds. More recharge is a good thing!
@Roderick
awesome! thanks a bunch! i'll be remaking an old character, now with TW! it's going to be sweet. =)
IF you roll Tank, bear in the mind that the TW Taunt requires your weapon to be out. Otherwise, it will cause redraw. Is killing my Fire/TW to the point Im considering rerolling as a brute (or a less clicky primary)
