When will brutes get spines?
For reals, just proliferate everything to the respective ATs. Some sets will be better on one AT or another, but that doesn't make them unplayable on the other ATs, just suboptimal.
Of course, SS on scrappers will be broken like no one's business, but prolly not so much more than Spines on brutes or TW on Stalkers :P
Ugh finally my Stalkers are mentioned as being overpowered! THAT'S RIGHT MY STEALTHY BROTHERS! THE TIME HAS FINALLY COME! RISE OUT OF THE SHADOWS AND KILL WITH YOUR SILENT STABBITY STAB STABBYNESS!
*Ahem* sorry.
No Ice damage to be had from Ice Armor. Icicles does lethal damage, unfortunately.

Maybe how i should have put it. "Spines = Dmg and Slow, Embrace = Slow, (Ice)Icicles = Dmg, For a Grand total of 2 Dmg Auras and 2 Slow Auras in 3 Toggles."

Scrappers will likely not get SS anytime soon...here's why...
The last time that came up, the Dev's basically said flat out, if we (the gamers) like SS as it is right now, then it must be left alone. If they look at SS and porting it, it would have to pass a balance pass, and Rage as we know it now, would certainly not pass a balance run. Therefore, if you love SS as it is now, do not ask them to port it. You won't like the outcome.
Currently Playing:
Rage King - SS/Regen Brute (50+3)
Soulfire Darkness - Dark/Fire Tank (50+2)

Are you calling Brutes SPINELESS!?!

Someone say something funny.
That'll do, pig. That'll do.
I also don't think "Enough people like it so we won't mess with it" is a good enough reason to leave a clearly unbalanced set in the game. Unless of course they are happy to admit that people love it because of how powerful it is and base other sets off that benchmark (Since clearly fun is the aim of the game).

Honestly... I want Ice Melee and Ice Armor first... Brutes have enough AoE sets

To the best dev team ever: I enjoyed meeting you all at the Summits and best of luck in all your future endeavors.
I always thought it was just the performance that attracts people to it, but the actual mechanics (IE: Rage crash) are what puts people (Like me) off.

Wish there was still some exclusivity between AT's. Brutes getting Claws and Katana is weird enough as is, goes against the concept by adding 'finesse'.
