The scrapper version will do better than the brute version, because Your two powerful AoEs, Lightning Rod and Shield Charge, summon Pseudo pets, which have a damage cap of.... 300% iirc? Thus your fury damage will not be utilized on these puppies, which makes Scrappers out damage. Also, scrappers get better use out of the +damage of AAO than brutes, because they have a higher base damage. (did you know that even tankers have a higher base damage than brutes?)
These two facts are the reason why Elec/Shield is better on scrappers.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
I was reading a thread dealing with the "best farmer" and someone mentioned his electric/shield scrapper. So... I thought about creating a brute version.
Has anyone tried creating a farmer with this combo, and how does it compare to a SS/Fire?
I created a build in Mids with the goal of maximizing recharge and positional defense - would appreciate any feedback. I honestly dont know if recharge is that big a deal since I have so many AE attacks (6)...
