The damage will be decent due to the scrappers Crit procs, which are fun when you get that burst. Brutes generate fury when attacking and being attacked, so if your idea is not to be attacked within range, I would go with Scrapper. Someone can correct me, but Brutes Fury generates while being attacked as well as attacking. Not sure how much fury is generated by attacking alone. Something to explore. Brutes are tougher, so there is also that to take into consideration as well if you are soloing only.

Here is the Ranged Scrapper build as well, as I just think its better than a Brute. Went with Spines and SR, This looks more interesting for me. Rune of Prot and Elude can save your butt and 2 travel powers. Went with ageless due to Elude crash 😃 Scrapper (Spines - Super Reflexes).mbd

Here is a ranged focused Brute build I quickly threw together. I think Claws is a decent set for this. Plenty of ranged cones and a ranged ST. Still took spin just because it makes sense you will be getting aggro. If you want more ST, you can certainly swap the epic pool for something else. I took Intuition for the damage and the range, but you can take Cardiac too for more res and end redux. The only Caveat is that follow through needs melee for the stackable buff. Don't see any of the other sets really being any better though. If you simply cannot have follow through and dont want the damage buff and sacrifice it to stay mostly all ranged, swap it for arcane bolt. If you want a faster recharge or avoid any of the claw attacks, Project Will is also available. Lastly, just remember that Brutes are fury based, so not getting attacked will gimp you. I would suggest running a build on a scrapper or tanker instead. Gumbo - Brute (Claws - Super Reflexes).mbd

Here is a concept for a Tanker I made. With Psi Tornado, Whirlwind, and KD proc on Icicles, the cc would be pretty fun. Can alter how you like 😃 but was something that looked like fun.Toggle Tanker (Ice Armor - Spines).mbd

Brute (Spines - Ice Armor).mbd Here is the latest iteration I have created for the Brute. Let me know what you think. With Absorption it maintains S/L/E/Neg/Fire Def caps. Hasten is near perma. Only downside is the energy res is lower and not as many + dmg sets. If you take Agility or Cardiac can probably wiggle more out of it vs the musc I took. Another option is Rune of Protection for added survivability or whirlwind with KD for more toggle fun.

The other option I thought is go Tanker and get Cardiac along with whirlwind with KD, but wanted to see a damage version of this. Would Scrapper be better?

Hey all. I am trying to figure out how to best run this character, and which Alpha to take. This would be fairly end hungry, and trying to maximize resists, and maybe even capping fire defense, while not sacrificing too much end or recharge time. Wanted your thoughts and attempts at fine tuning. Thanks. https://api.midsreborn.com/legacy/download?uc=1698&c=723&a=1446&f=HEX&dc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rute (Spines - Ice Armor)(1).mbd

Bumping. I have one I made, but its lacking in Energy Res and not fire def capped. Not sure where there can be a good balance. Brute (Spines - Ice Armor).mbd

That makes sense!

Hi all, Wanting to experiment with Rad/Ice farmer. Reason being is the 3 toggles. Irradiated, Icicles and Chilling Embrace. Think it would be fun and still fairly decent for farming purposes. Wanted your take on the build and if it can be made in the essence of farming. |MBD;23371;1473;1964;BASE64;| |G0pbERWcFAAtj6cbgqdYSElJ0GRjh/911MOxMGPlKNQjP6C2psuIXlVl7zGOx3biNsC| |mqmHa9ZAsXX2twwLSFdyB50tNgIkcedyyw/05e6rqvV9n12x6wuibkRyiAdz9+/8t3w| |kbGRkV5UOZcYmySP68naWW9n4d+iaUpgjqH1QktVukqUqg7Fs196mNxCJUivpeBomLl| |Wy2DORNA20vomyuuijEInejQnxZsHfhlB7/tuHINSUyf7hwtNEBD2llwSmJJ/B17HBO| |Feep0+4MC+mUwusQuRcXf59O9JMoeSRFLCGdlKyJfHbohGWBXzhTZKPEdzDjzGsd45I| |1NytZUAQ55QUZxXPsx9IJBSrLLLFbUtrC5yvvrNVA8Lm8dFxrl1bKVWpHbKz05f4veK| |/vVRbDOkry8FbXh4N0Lu38KIffRUJuKW7yer1hpddFmb0La5X//EpsPJZ6coziyUeuO| |jkf0RKzpKi9lq9m7dPqXBw3Utf3ZaOyAYfli64Mdhm93qvPJezKz2Zcei7B0oqjmnZq| |XvVXElA7c0sP/693vhOd0IaoImgCSircNBc7uZZ9Lq11Amsv+l4apRz9bW0Jf86f7Hf| |+YJW90U/eZXL9f5pn1xQV2H957cGOyekKmV/3Px6BBs9L4WRvBgJTmov99hWJKxjW0A| |08EkSPnUfQ2zJl9EsogUhKQzm/ScUeynk5N8RVXGCYHTU3+t/Pod/kTkPEiKiE4EKrG| |kARrK+qBApg/S04VAZXe22y3SfOs6wNNzCc9w8+EcIW1B92ZnRnfKKTxdFyGywUJV98| |7woUoXjdRnkCJhGfoTxgwgIyUW7Xr2WP7BT3YOjSIY/jRoTMY+hElUi42ENa2iN/LC8| |8SqAoBjBCLAEMEctCYyA3unQ2PEiy4X1mwGWucs070/rxTebS0GNZflyh/3lmHavNvb| |Wr/ElIeZ88kcsCubn5t84zDDK42lRlZmnNYPXySB2DhlyKNrr74hs6wf3mSNqRJ6dD4| |Hb3+HRWOYVPrs0P+BUGOFlg9tlpIKjhEMHKrW0iT1o3q8r9eTU6nZ0Nj9zAB8PX6eMf| |0zIPaXNwyVEChVBDXwGGyMptg2mWB9/mUFihRO7Ke2fkxm7B5Py3plq0XdF3Zwf6bVE| |Z632LVYZOYC7pLpJTVzWu/6EfxjsQ1GO1/ySRURI961UEdZItgVcmfs8kVWdsQRZxpN| |GGlIu5mTR11Z72YjK6mVo50RihOFf143YhYVUUYAhb1hDIjV7Rhy74ZJYbMOYqYxbdR| |lh24rQcGoe9kyNEcKlhAtYDI1g/XQldAUWyZuYUxSY89N7wfA44MJw5eVmRyHko7v3u| |Zu0YAT75Qe/Lsrbw4sII9l5JAgXoMXduVM4GriZNES/Ah2CcnVaEV1a2NtDLkH2LDRO| |wb2UFGMI+ygKI5ovQrcQ+wORI2AJsBo5pL94YiCsnKxMmavggp7g4i/7n4Q4sGFZyuS| |eGoaAhd+ZVWVpgRMUBP/r4TVVrXpz0PtOKRwTgAcBwIiQSYXlO4Idh+yqmbiH1v7MeA| |u30sCp5POiw9pGYSF5XleH7zVWDPYkBH8I0F3ge9idR8juKl1zfgL4CClEICvoCNh0+| |t3vgCU3NF8CYbFEsYoMB9geLVoMSPi482uIgsuoCDII108c89vUJIypHFn2FYCTXN6C| |uIGiKIpO6gLSpis6uWfXsMC8ga573AS8EjDAQ4Ne1+DLoD/Oid50fqeDz6j+tefMD4r| |lv1WX1ittM5zcVVfJgv7CDG+t19ihUbxdL03eDAif4I1bBPyaeSeNPHmoODO/oUad5v| |CvmvzZYU/XmuNB1phgHadkrKwLW0Ifd4GV4XWzcwGUtT+cLkz0xr2MBV8Q8i849XdJw| |3wgstvyKF+2JnUVnYs8+4VzcVf/8LRu7caIGIsU+Kh4oIkjLQbllD7Y6OdqQB2qXnc7| |mv/REbYdkGs4XOz/LloUN| Gumbo - Brute (Radiation Melee - Ice Armor).mbd

@Uun @Warshades You guys are always reminding me of those little changes that help a lot. This looks solid and actually close to what I had after I remade, so this is great. Thanks again!

Hello again. I decided to switch from WM to EM, so changed the build a little bit. Can you check this build out and see if I am on the right track? Thanks. I tried to slot max hp where I could, and try to balance out resistences. I kind of like the heal procs on SR which is why I also am taking rebirth for the heal/regen. Not sure how much end may be an issue. Tanker (Super Reflexes - Energy Melee).mbd

Here are some of the changes I made. Not sure about the combat jumping as I was using it for the regen/Max HP from LoTG, but made some adjustments from what you said. Does this seem more solid? I guess my original thought is if I had ageless radial for DDR, might give me some prot, but idk how much it would help. Tanker (Bio Armor - Katana).mbd

Can anyone help me hone in this Katana/Bio build?

Okay I am changing to Katana. Feel like this is a decent start but can be reworked for sure. Alpha slot not sure if Vigor is worth it or take Agility core. Tanker (Bio Armor - Katana).mbd

Hi guys, I have a template of powers that I wanted to pick, up for discussion, but main focus is a tank that has def melee cap, and the build focuses on regen and res, whilst filling out the damaging attacks. Can anyone help me here with this base build? Open to trying Axe, EM etc instead, but think Parry is usefil defensively, and good single target. Thanks. Tanker (Bio Armor - Broad Sword).mbd

That is a solid build as well. Brings out the resistance about best you can. Psi Tornado is fun too 😃

Thanks for all the insight about SR. Yea the Alpha slot felt like an odd pick but I like Frozens build base better than what I was going for. Thanks as well Uun.

Here is the reworked with Cardiac...Thinking that would boost res a bit and discount. Not sure if the range plays into anything. Reslotted the other LotG. End permitting also considered musc radial, but not as end friendly and adding the res to S/L. Tanker (Super Reflexes - War Mace).mbd

Thanks for the insight. Yea if you want to take a stab at it to see what improvements you can make id be interested tio see. Thanks,

Wanted your take on the build I made and some of the logic I had anyway... With the sets I picked in general, I was focusing on Regen and HP. I added heal and regen procs into Stam and Health and Harmonic Mind. Harmonic mind and Vigor - I took these so end would not be an issue and to add a little more regen. I put a mag 2 hold into Dominate mainly as a button to stop runners I want to control. I focused on recharge in sets as well, so hasten is perma, and practiced brawler is up whenever I need it for status protection. Questions: Are my set choices making sense for SR? Should I take Physical Perfection instead of Harmonic mind? Is Vigor a good pick for this type of build? Is the res Debuff good in the Whirling Mace for Aoe proc? Are my resistances too low? Could I potentially take Rebirth with this set instead of Ageless for more regen or is the debuff res essential for SR? Is Elude worth the crash? Thanks for any feedback. Tanker (Super Reflexes - War Mace).mbd

Went ice as I was trying to find a way to cap SL and Energy whist trying to cap ranged, but yea, the debuffs + power sink etc sound like a better combo.

I am struggling getting ranged Def cap, and energy/SL cap would be nice too, but willing to sacrifice a little bit. I likle the toggles as debuffs if I am sitting in the pocket, but also, end seems to be an issue. Can someone help calibrate this build? Corruptor (Electrical Blast - Radiation Emission).mbd

I would suggest mention of a secondary set that has a heal. I think a good consistent set with synergy is MA/Ninjitsu. With Kuji-In rin and sha, your psi and toxic res are really good, plus you get positional defenses and retsu can be your survival button, but again depends on what content you are wanting to play.

Here is a BA/SR Build. Positionals, DDR, near perma hasten. Elude can save lives. Does well for most things. For solo can pick rebirth radial for the added regen + elude for oh shit. Black Nite - Scrapper (Battle Axe- Super Reflex).mbd
