Oh, I currently have mine in Strike, but it just seems "meh" being in there.

Follow up, slash, or focus would make sense.


Currently Playing:
Rage King - SS/Regen Brute (50+3)
Soulfire Darkness - Dark/Fire Tank (50+2)
Deaths Final Embrace - Kat/Dark Brute (50+3)
ULTIMATE REGEN GUIDE I22

Follow up is easily the best place for it since it is a part of both your single target and your aoe chain. If you're purpling it's an even easier choice since you only have one ranged and one taoe attack so you might as well put apocalypse and ragnarok in those.

Thanks guys! I'll put it in Follow up.

It will slot in damage auras too, so if your brute has one, that would be where I would put it.

Since damage auras don't build fury on their own, seems like it would work nicely.

I think the main case against aura slotting, Claws, is that follow up needs and rewards recharge and brute's fury supplies it with gusto. The damage aura gets no benefit whatever from the recharge slotting and only procs once every ten seconds. The optimal scenario for follow up is a proc chance once every three or four seconds, depending on whether you're doing single target or aoe. Surely that's the better choice?

Fury proc works best for me in focus. Since it is ranged you tend to get it off more. If you have to back off a mob like in Baf with circles, you can get an extra fury proc. Then target an add, get another focus of while you get in melee range. I even manage about 70-80 percent fury on chokes in BAF.

He's a Claw/Energy , so no damage aura there.
