DB/DA Brute: Incarnates?


Hindenburg

So I must be into self-loathing because I leveled a Dual Blades / Dark Armor brute to 50. I've played this game a long time, but am still no expert....but I understood the challenge of making this a viable creation. Bt you know how we are when "character theme" enters the equation...

I cant be talked off the ledge, so here is what I have, and here is what I asking of you more knowledgeable folk....

DB/DA/Soul Mastery, fully IO'd at a cost of approx. 12 billion. It would have been more, but I used a ton of paragon points to get a few attuned sets.

From limited play, I seem to have a slight endurance problem, but not overly so. The bigger deal is lack of damage. Defense seems reasonable at this point, but I suspect squishiness. To give you a measure of where I am at, I tried to solo Trapdoor and fought him to standstill. I have had toons this happened to in the past and I've had brutes (claws/invulnerable) waste him in 20 seconds.

Q: Which incarnates would you put on a toon like this? (Lore & Judgment doesnt matter unless someone has a great reason why it does).

I'm thinking Musculature, Barrier, Preemptive, and Assault. Thoughts?

Vigor looks pretty good.

the end reduction looks good of course.
the acc seems like it'd be good for a Dual Blades.
the healing part of Vigor isnt really needed.

I guess it just depends what yer build looks like.

but yeah, Musc or Vigor would be my choice.



you shouldn't need Barrier on a melee..so that really just leaves Ageless and Rebirth. The Max HP version of Rebirth sounds ok, but Ageless sounds better to me.

I guess if you took Ageless I might lean more towards Musculature.

Preemptive is end drain? meh.


perma jump is ---> /up 1
