My first brute (SS/FA)


Darth_Cthulhu

 

Posted

I was trying to build a brute who would be great in AE farms AND teams.
With T4 Spiritual for Alpha my hasten recharge is down to 3 seconds, perma if I take Ageless (which would also help my FS recharge).

There's three empty slots in Blazing Aura and Footstomp, these will each have 3 Superior ATOs in them (with FS having the +Fury), giving me a bonus +10 S/L def, softcapping my S/L.

That means I'll have:
45.5% def S/L
90% resist Fire
16.8% def 33.4% resist Energy (This build's only weakness, pure energy dmg. Besides Rikti drones, I'm not sure what else would have this.)

The most expensive stuff is the Armageddon 5 slot, the Brute ATOs, and the LotG 7.5%s.

Criticisms/suggestions welcome!

Breaking up oblit sets for the ATOs is a bad idea as the 4th, 5th, and 6th set bonuses of obliteration are quite valuable. Replace KCs for ATOs instead.

Put the armaggedons in Foot Stomp, theyre wasted in RotP, additionally you want a forcefeedback proc in foot stomp.

Pick up Gloom and Dark Obliteration, they are staples in both ST and AoE dmg for an ss/fire. Slot with 5 Apocs and 5 Posi Blasts respectively.

+regen proc in health isn't really helping you, if you really want more +regen a simple Numina: heal IO will give you more.

Put 5 Doc Wounds in Healing Flames.

Add another slot to Fiery Embrace.

The Cyto in Weave is only adding 0.2 def.

Drop Hurl, Gloom is better.

CJ is overslotted.

Temp Protection is overslotted.

Consume is overslotted unless you switch the endmod IOs to taunt IOs for rchg and s/l defense. Even with taunt IOs consume will still give you a full bar of end with 4-5 targets, this is even more important if you're going Ageless.

Kick can be muled with KCs or ATOs or you can switch it to Boxing and slot it with 5 Absolute Amazements if you have slots.

Drop a slot out of hasten, FF proc will keep it perma.

6th slot in burn for s/l defense.

Ok, I took all of your suggestions, and I moved the split up Sup ATOs to Knockout Blow and Blazing Aura, with Blazing Aura having the +Fury proc.

With Sup ATOs I'll still have softcapped S/L def. I was able to stay away from the crazy expensive Glad Armor +Def. (yay)

Now the question is, which Alpha should I go for? Fury makes me want to skip Musculature. (T4 Musculature adds a whopping 19 dmg to footstomp. Whoop dee doo.) I don't need the Spiritual recharge anymore. Should I get Cardiac to help with End usage? T4 Cardiac would drop FSs cost to 10 end.

Assuming I grab Ageless, I'd have a end recharge power at 50s, 1m40s,(these 2 are from consume) and 2min. Is this overkill? Would Consume be plenty by itself? If so, then what Destiny should I grab? I already have self heal and I don't need the +Def, so should I go for Clarion for the ridiculous status prot? This build already has 10pts prot on Hold/Stun/Sleep/Immob.

I'm guessing due to the PbAoE nature of this AT, Void would be a good choice for Judgement? Or is Ion still #1 for everything?

Thanks so much for all your help DreadShinobi.

Here's the updated build:

On my ss/fire I use t4 core spiritual and t4 core Ageless when solo for max recharge and by extension damage and still being sustainable. When doing teams/trials I switch to Barrier, Clarion, or Rebirth depending on what the team needs most. Ageless is great as a self buff if you're building around it, however most other people won't benefit alot from it compared to other destiny buffs because most people will have a solid attack chain and be sustainable with out it. For example on BAF and UGT I switch to clarion for confuse protection or for MoM I will switch to Rebirth to combat the high amounts of aoe damage on the trial. When running Clarion, Rebirth, or Barrier I switch to Vigor Alpha to keep myself end sustainable although Cardiac is also an option here.

I prefer Pyronic for the 1 second activation and being able to nuke another group or grab aggro of said group at range. Really though Judgment choice is mostly a personally preference so I'd take whichever you see yourself liking/using the most. Though I wouldn't take Cryonic on anything.

Yep. That looks alot better

One thing that should be mentioned is you have no kb protection with this build. 4 would help but you need 11 or 12 to keep from being thrown around by avs with FA

Wow. Yeah, I didn't notice that when I skimmed the build. 4 is typically enough, but if you have the space for 2 more -kb IOs 12 does make a difference for certain things. (lambda turrets, idf levitates, and rikti pylons are the first things that come to my mind) My SS/Fire just runs 4, but if I had more space (which I might when I upgrade my build with ATOs in i22) I would definitely pick up 12, since I'm typically tanking everything. On corrs and such 4 is great, but on a Brute you're going to be getting hit with alot of more hate, meaning alot more knockbacks will be aimed at you.

Yeah, I realized that when I started running my build and got KB'ed by EVERYTHING. I swiped a couple slots here and there and got 3 Karmas in.
