Brutiful Game
eeeeewwww Meelee.
i'm normally a 'troller. i have several doms, mm's, defs, blasters, corrs, scrappers, and an epic AT or two. a few 50's, a few incanaranarerated... but i'll always like controllers best. [and with what i hear whispers of coming, i'll love them even more.] Storm Summoning is my favorite powerset.
today i rolled a tank. i dont like meelee. i have one at 50 already but he's been sitting for years, so i figured i'd give meelee a try again. i was told i shoulda rolled a brute for comparable survivability but more dmg. meh
it is a beautiful game! i need more slots.
I love Stalkers. And I love (ranged) Masterminds. Brutes are.. eh.
Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.
And I play anything except ranged damage ATs and Tankers, with a preference for Scrappers and Controllers.

Just finished accolading and IOing my Street Justice/Fiery Aura Brute, tons of fun and soooooo much damage. If Brutes could generate fury while running or travelling they would be almost perfect. >.>

My 50s were in order:
emp/dark defender
ice/kin controller
fire/fire tank
dualblades/wp scrapper
psi/mind blaster
kin/electric brute
I had a lot of fun on all of them, but I have to say that the Brute leveled quickest, and was without a doubt the 'easy button' of the bunch. Working on a plant/rad something, fire scrapper, and others, but my next 50 is likely to be a water/time defender.
But brutes are very, very fun to play. I think probably the most enjoyable experiences just running around hitting things. They're really what tanks should have been in the first place.
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

MMs, Doms, 'Trollers, Scrappers, Tanks. Favs.
But then came brutes. OH YES. BROOOOOOT!!!!
Love 'em. Love 'em lots.
/Although this certain ONE Blaster is kinda fun... Water/Ice.
//I really need to get my one Stalker leveled up, because with a name like Jerry the Deathclown, it just screams to be 50 one day...
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012
I'd never got a Brute to 50, I fixed that a couple of months ago.
She's now 50 (+2) and an absolute joy to play. The 40s whizzed by in an orgy of destruction.
I love playing a Brute, and love teaming with them.
Yay for Brutes! Your puny weapons only make them stronger!
Lies. Masterminds are some of the most controlled chaos fun you can find anywhere.

Sweet, sweet fire.

I'm not a fan of Brutes. I find them a bit too squishy and don't care much for the quest for Fury.
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

I like to Scourge.

And if all else fails, there's that power that lets you go from 0 to Full Fury in a single click.
@Roderick
I have recently been trying to play things besides Brutes. I tried once before, when the sides were still split. Ended up back on Brutes. Feeling I was stuck in a rut I have diligently worked over the last year trying Tanks, Blasters, Scrappers, a few lowbie doms, more blasters, more tanks. I have 50'd many, incarnated a few, and gotten a lot into mid 30s after a few days TF and testing. I have found out one indisputable fact. I love running Brutes more than anything else.
Thanks to the Devs for writing this Archetype into the game. It is truly a Brutiful thang.
