Looks very solid. Thank you for the suggested build.

I’m leaning towards Radiation for the primary, as I’ve never leveled one. Having a damage aura and a recovery power would seem to provide balance to lethal damage and an endurance hungry secondary. Any builds out there for either combo? Recent upgrades to BA make older builds seem almost obsolete. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I've been leveling a DM/Inv Brute, based on your build. Good so far! Also fighting with a Mids Update and it's not letting me read your last link but I have the previous Brute build and Hyperstrike's Stalker INV framework. Since no Dark Consumption on Stalkers, would you use a Theft of Essence proc in Siphon Life or grab a Epic Pool with Physical Perfection. Kind of looking at Weapon Mastery for PP and Exploding Shuriken, for another AOE attack. ES just lacks the Darkness theme. Your thoughts?

Hit the send button too quickly. Did you have this build?

Finally attended my first TT last night, something I've been wanting to go to since Live. I had a great time. Leveled my lowbie Tanker, Defrosted Caveman (Ice/Stone), 10 levels in less than 2 hours. 18 -> 28. Thanks to my teammates and especially Diamond Forever, who kept peeling me off the asphalt every time I faceplanted. If you've never been to a Tanker Tuesday, you are missing out. Highly recommended!

I'm thinking either electric armor or ice armor but I'm leaning towards electric. Both seem very solid. Thoughts? Recommended build(s)?

Great guide Frosticus! You’ve been a huge advocate for SM and this guide reinforces your passion. What other secondaries do you believe would pair well? Any other powers?
