Metauphoria

I put this together. No Purples of any kind. It has maxed defenses for Ranged and Melee, nearly maxed AOE. Resistances are lower than you can get with purples, but it should be generally survivable especially if you have any kind of resist buffs. Hope it helps.

I want to be an unkillable god. I like farming for that reason, but am most of the way through making a SS/Inv Brute. I’m soloing +4/8 50 mission arcs and it’s both slow and amazing.

So I built a Super Strength Invulnerability Brute. He's level 50 and has a pile of cash. for RP reasons I'm committed to taking Spring Attack. For Personal Play reasons I don't really want anything that's going to trade off two minutes of awesome for an instant death at the end (Thinking about dropping Dull Pain). I've come up with two builds that I think are pretty good, but they both rely on the Agility Incarnate Power and I'm worried I don't have enough damage. Which of these do you think would be more effective as a generalist who wanted to run endgame missions at +4/8? And what further tweaks would you do?

Right. Already read that, and got my dude to level 50 full build. I'm specifically looking for enhancement feedback if anyone just loves monkeying around with builds.

Hey all, So for the first time ever I read through all the set bonus rules and the diversification thingies and picked out the sets that looked cool. I suspect there are some inefficiencies in here (like I didn't need both consume powers when i have ageless). But like I said, first build, looking for thoughts. Ember - Brute (Dark Melee).mxd
