It could be anything really. Just going off what i have read from other discussions in the past. +recharge and +to hit because of peek fitness due to regeneration was the idea. They could probably still attach a revive to the Mog when out of combat for x seconds and it is off cooldown, so as not to fully lose it. Some players have mentioned too many clickies in the set hence the MoG change.

There could be some simple improvements to the set to buff it a little. Some ideas...(not necessarily all at once and not necessarily good ideas 🙃) Add more regeneration debuff resistance. Add endurance/recovery debuff resistance to Quick Recovery. Add a scaling +resist buff to Resilience as health drops, similar to Super Reflexes. Adaptive Resilience. Remove Revive and turn Moment of glory into a power that works when health drops below zero. Effectively allowing you to cheat death and be buffed for a duration. It would have a long cooldown still. This would also free up a slot for another power and maybe allow faster play without worrying as much about clicking the power in time. Add 15% +recharge and some +to hit or +damage, also some slow resistance and call it Athleticism as an extra power for example.

Tankers, Brutes and Scrappers are all good 2024. Scrappers are damage and Tankers are Tanks with Brutes somewhere in the middle. Shield, Stone and Bio are all suitable as of 2024 for any of the AT's above. I wouldn't see too much into that graph. Maybe try each out a little or build on a theme etc but do have fun with what ever you choose. 🙂

Yes it was just for comparison to give you some ideas on different slotting. It has a few procs but not a real proc monster. Give it a whirl, like i said i have not tried it but would be interested in the results. 😊

I am up and running again lol. I can see +recharge has been a big focus here. Winters is in CJ which could be moved to SJ and allow a LotG +recharge in there freeing up a set choice for Shield wall elsewhere. You need to slot Stamina a little more. Achilles in Melt Armor can help a little. Dodge is over slotted but i guess you want the +recharge, but is it worth it? You could take slots from Gaussians in BU as you will still have very good defense. You could use these to build more resists or add procs and more in Stamina. This might be of interest to you. Switch Char for 5 apocalypse if you prefer more recharge or slots elsewhere. I have never tried it so probably needs tweaking. May need a +Acc in MA, could be a slot from CJ and add a Acc/recharge shield breaker for example. https://api.midsreborn.com/legacy/download?uc=1703&c=721&a=1442&f=HEX&dc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

It seems the latest mids update has broke it again. I can't even load my old builds in now. Will need to investigate more later. Others may have issues also and that could be the problem.

It doesn't open for me and i am running latest mids. Maybe try a datachunk.

There are plenty of other ATs capable of taking on stragglers. Even squishies don't need to be squishy nowadays. Taunts have caps just like nukes have caps and just like controls have caps etc. Crazy if the caps were removed lol.

+recharge or more +recovery are always nice rather than more +regen. Rage in my opinion is over slotted. The defense in the build is not enough to need it really and those slots could serve better elsewhere. Put a Scirocco's Acc/Dam in footstomp rather than the +acc. SS has Rage for +to hit. Just some thoughts for you to consider.

5 is just right and 6+ too many. That is how many fingers i have on one hand, the other hand is for steering. 🙂

I ran a SR/Fire for a while before the FM pass. It was very good, but went back to my Rad/SS then Bio/SS. SR with Staff for that +resists would be very tough but a little weak in damage. Now if Staff got a good pass then that could be an awesome combo and thematic.

You could say a Brute brings nothing to a team that a Scrapper/stalker or any dps or Tank can bring. But isn't that the same for most AT's?. Do you need a Sentinel with a blaster around? or a Stalker with a Scrapper around? Do we even need the Epic AT's? You can proc a Brute out just the same as you can proc any Scrapper/Stalker. Higher health and resist cap help, especially when buffed in a team. If i proc out a Fire/invuln Brute for example with 3k health and potential 90%resists it is worse than a procced out Scrapper with 2400 health and 75% resist cap?. Maybe Brutes could do with something unique to help them stand out more, but they are certainly not in a terrible place. Maybe reduce the Brutes AoE targets to 6 max and increase their damage some lol.

I want to be Infamous 💩

If you check the profile and look at their activity all will become clear lol.

Scrapper would look cool with that combo.

I presume this refers to Fire melee still? The sword attacks aren't slower anymore they have been sped up considerably.

I run a Time/Fire Defender with a good build. My defense is in the high 50's. I have huge +recharge in the build and self buffs, so my nukes are up very often (36sec Nuke). I also have heals. I can debuff enemy resists/defense and make them weaker. Fire secondary is as good as it gets for damage with a few procs added. The Defender does not feel weak at all. I tried the Corruptor version but it had reduced survival from buffs and weaker debuffs compared to the Defender and i had to alter the build slightly weakening it. Scourge is nice, but so are extra procs and stronger buffs/debuffs. You might just need to find a combo you like also.

Surviving a pylon? It referred to Brute as damage dealer not for survival purposes. I don't think a Pylon has ever been used as a survival benchmark that i am aware of. Usually TFs etc do that.

I think they said that you don't have to try to cap resists to Tanker levels on a Brute. You can be happy with Scrapper+ levels of survival and bump the damage up more if you so choose. As i have one of the top Brute pylon times i know what a Brute can do. Nice for others to know that they can have survival and damage and are in a good place vs Tankers/Scrappers ☺️ Brutes are very flexible. They can be built to near Scrapper damage or near Tanker survival or just take any ground in between. As long as they can not do both at the same time, that would be OP. As with any build though, adding more procs for damage will sacrifice you set bonuses.

What if when Fury reaches max 100(85) the meter would light up and you can choose to click or not. Call this Rampage.The Brute gets a short duration buff (whilst retaining full fury) . This buff could be halving animation times of attacks or a +recharge/damage, reset all cooldowns, all attacks do a -resist debuff to enemies etc. Once this buff crashes the Brute can not gain fury for x amount of seconds and take a hit to endurance/recovery. I would not argue against increasing Brute resist/defense values slightly between Scrappers and Tankers to give them a little better middle ground.

Invuln is a good secondary. It give good defense and resists. It also has +to hit which is good for any primary set. Invuln also gives +max health which for a Brute is much higher than Scrappers/stalkers. You can build trying to match a Tanker with resists and sacrificing damage 🤣 or just have Scrapper resists/defenses, as they don't seem to struggle surviving and pump that damage up 😎. You will not out damage a Scrapper (but you will a Tanker on a hard target) but if you are in a team with buffers you will benefit considerably more than a Scrapper/Stalker with a higher resist cap and near match Tanker survival. Don't make the mistake the usual suspects make by trying to match Tanker resists, play it as a damage dealer if you like, with potentially better survival than Scrappers/Stalkers. Play however and whatever you like. I am playing a damage orientated Defender at the moment and having a lot of fun, which is why we are here lol.

I can see the benefit of it but i do question if it was actually needed. We do have Taunt also.

I would prefer the AoE to be removed. It was never asked for in the Tanker update and many including myself spoke out about it. They are not setting kill records single target but rather the added AoE is proving a problem. Tanking/taunting was never an issue before.

It is not the first time. They spammed me with thumbs down as a reaction. There was intent. Do i really need to search through posts and not just take my word for it? I am not lying, after all it is just a GAME. It has been stated in previous posts that Tanker changes should be rolled back or the damage scale reduced back to previous.

I gave you a fair thumbs down on one of your replies to which you then childishly jumped to some of my older posts and gave them all thumbs down lol. You replies serve no purpose whatsoever other than to provoke. This is yet another example. I now feel you are harassing me and need you stop the bullying behaviour please.
