Nice build! If I had a Claws/SR Brute, do not know how I would build it. I am pretty sure you can get enough recharge to run the FU-Focus-Slash chain and can definitely hit the softcap without the Agility Alpha. Musculature might get watered down when Fury is involved but still well under the brute's damage cap.
You can save some slots if you get the Glad Armor +3% def. You won't need to 6 slot the Red Fortunes. Can drop a couple slots in Tough by 6 slotting Performance Shifter for the +3.13% AoE def. Use Enhancement Boosters to get Hasten close to perma. Drop the proc out of Shockwave for the 10% recharge bonus. Stupefy Boxing for a little more recharge and VOILA!

Thanks. Most of the changes you suggested were in the original build, e.g. 6-slotted Perf Shifter, 5slotted Red Fortunes, 6slot Boxing with Stupefy. I can put the Ragnarok 5th slot back in, shouldn't have taken that out for the proc. 6slots in Boxing really annoyed me so I moved them around. |

I moved some slots from Perf Shifter to Tough (5slot Aegis for AOE) because I wanted to beef up my S/L resistance (20% target). I also added QOL elements like the -SLOW resist into CJ and the +Res Shield Wall (to hit 20%). I'll look at playing around with the Glad Armor there too and saving Aegis slots.
Is there really any point to Musculature on a Brute? Aren't you capping damage pretty much already at 100% fury (from self buffs)? I actually have T4 Spiritual alpha already on this toon.
Enhance Boosters don't show up -- I should have mentioned I +5'd the IO in Hasten and that it appeared to be perma.
Cheers mate.
Here's another go using some of your suggestions, Ricodah.
I don't really need the extra recovery from the way you slotted Tough. I'm endo-sustainable as is. However with you slotting I would still touch 20% res (19.9) and save another slot (instead of a 3rd Aegis). It's a thought - need to figure out what to do with the extra slot that would free up. A regen tissue +Regen in health doesn't make a big difference.
I'm well over 95% def debuff resist, but I like the 3-slotting of the passives with LOTGs for the regen and HP bonus. In the current build moving a 3rd slot to Lucky pushes me from 1990 hp (with accolades) to over 2000 hp, which is a nice "target."
Question is really what if anything can be done to improve dps. Maybe nothing at this point. The extra recharge (10% more) might help if there was a tiny bit of lag in the chain.
An argument for your Tough slotting is beefing up endo even further to run Hybrid. Perhaps go Agility Core for some further endo boost, and move an IO slot (endo IO) into Phys Perfection ... all in the goal of supporting Hybrid to improve DPS.

I think the Brute damage cap is 800% or something like that. Highest of all ATs. If you're running with 100% Fury, +60% stacked Follow Up, approximately +95% IO buffs per power and a +49.5% from set bonuses, you are looking at +304.5% damage bonus. |

Adding Musculature Core for about +33% damage (After ED) and Assault +10.5% will give you a total of about +348% damage which will equal to about +13 DPS on your FU-Foc-Sla attack chain. Not a huge difference but those would be the only changes I would make to increase DPS. Anything else would be scraping bottom of the barrel unless there's a better attack chain.
Add/subtract enhancement boosted IOs by clicking the +/- signs before selecting the IO.
Last I read, devs changed Hybrid. It costs 0 endurance to use and has a 120s up time and 120s downtime but is still labelled as a toggle.
Edit: Now that I think about it, I think the base damage of each power counts as 100% as well. Someone else can probably confirm that.

It is no longer a high end cost toggle. It is now a 0 end cost toggle with a 120 second limit, and a 120 second recharge, so it has a maximum up time of 50%.
As of when I type this that is how it stands, to my knowledge.

What? Is this what I hope and dream it is? Is it real or rumour? Souces/citations, please, before I get my hopes up.
With the advent of mecha claws I'm looking to dust off my Claws/SR brute (BRUTE!).
Need some advice on updgrades to the build below. Thanks!
Chain is: FU-Focus-Slash
Empty slot in Shockwave is for the KB-to-KD IO (summer event).
