Version with Frost and more proctacular Burn. Probably the way to go. Le-sigh. *contemplates dropping Weave for Phoenix Rising*
-
Frost is a good cone, but I don't currently miss it. Had it for the first 27 levels, and respec'd out of it. Still leveling so haven't dialed it up to +4 yet, at +1 Burn/Frozen Aura/Blazing Aura clear out the riff raff just fine. I'll see how it plays at 50, +4/*8. I can always drop Phoenix Rising for Frost, but a two minuet self rez on a Brute makes me giggle.
I currently value the additional resists over more proc damage in Burn, and I don't know where else to stick Unrelenting Fury. If the Brute ATs sucked less, that would be nice, but here we are.
Drop Phoenix rising, take Frost, put Unrelenting Fury in Frost, Proc out Burn? Will tinker, thank you.
Here is the Frostless version after some more small improvements.

Thank you, I have not been keeping up on proc math changes.
Minor tweaks made:

I couldn't decide which way to go and now I've got a muddled mess. What should an Ice/Fire be building to?
My current unsatisfactory attempt.

Heat Loss, Victory Rush, and Power Sink for End Management tools, but mid levels will probably be a lot of selective toggle running until those get slotted right. 2 Slotted Stamina and Health with the standard health and endurance procs. At this point slot shuffling is just moving bonuses from column A to column B, I'll play a bit and see what works best. At 5 LoTGs, Hasten is 14 seconds away from Perma, which is close enough for government work.

Thanks all! Lifelong scrapper player so skipping the fighting pool feels very wrong but I'll give it a whirl. This character will have a consistent team to play with and through 15 levels we've only had a couple of faceplants (mostly mine when I play too aggressive) so I'm going to skip on the Vengeance. But Victory Rush could be dropped to add it for a more PUGtastic build.
And agreed on the Power Boost/Electric Blast combo, I have a friend that plays that regularly. Would swap out Electric Mastery pics if this were a PUGging build, but the other Defender in the regular team is also /Electric. Two Short Circuits should pretty well clear out most mobs blue bars.

First Defender since live, not sure if I'm missing any tips or tricks. Not going to solo with this one often, if ever. Any recommendations?

This is the finalized build I went with. My thanks to AustinSmith off the Homecoming Discord as well as several others for their input.
Got my Alpha unlocked and it plays solo very well at +0/*6 or *8, depending on the mob faction. Teams are lulzy. I use Seismic Force with Shockwaves to knock about 10 seconds off Meteor cooldown, Chronos reduces cooldown about 5 more seconds. When it's all clicking right I drop a Meteor on 2 out of 3 Spawns. Bonfire is perma'd without any recharge slotting and is a great panic button vs anything with legs. Going for Agility and Ageless for more recharge because giant rocks from space solve a lot of problems.
Downsides, no hard controls so if the mobs can't be knocked down you need to kill 'em fast. This particular build is about as tough as some un-IO'd scrappers though, so you can handle quite a bit of incoming damage. Until you very suddenly can't. ; )

Pretty much alternating Bonfire and Meteor every other spawn would be my goal. Rise of the Phoenix for when that doesn't work out. Debt is just another badge. Anubis just sends me back each time, pretty quick.
But, yeah, my first pass was similar to yours. Stuffed in as many Winter sets as possible to drag defense up, but it felt like I was ignoring a fair amount of damage potential. I've got several Scrappers for "Safe DPS". 18% to 25% defense is a bit more than 0. Two small purples gets you soft capped if you're solo. And in a team setting Def buffs are fairly common so building for Resistance has some upside.
Your build is likely more survivable though. I'll keep it tucked away if I decide to live the solo blaster +4/*8 lifestyle. Thanks!

The cat goddess Bast has sent an aspect of herself through time to bring back Bobcat. Because Bobcat is the real catgirl, not that copy Mynx. : )
Anyway, need a little build help on my quest. This is what I have so far. Not really attached to anything specific other than Seismic / Temporal.

Forgive the minor necrothreading.
@crysis did you ever try playing a similar build with Hurricane? My main difficulty is that the PBAoEs like Consumption and Inferno just don't play nice with Hurricane for obvious reasons. Hurricane is too much debuff for me to skip, I'll work it into my build somewhere.
And also, do you get much out of Rain of Fire? It really doesn't seem to do much damage.

Theory crafted for my next Brute. More Defense, less Resistance than the other builds in this thread. Proc'd up Devastating Blow and Mud Pots. Could be an okayish Fire Farmer if it wanted to at 44% Fire Def and 82% Fire Res. Clear time would be less than a /Fire, but still good. Also added taunt and would presumably be running Ageless for the Debuff resistance anyway.
I've got a Savage/Stone that is really similar, and it tanks very well. Savage melee I'm hoping gets a tweak or two soon.

The only problem lays in the damage which is just not so good. As someone who really likes old kung fu movies and the staff I really like the set, but then what? Spin spin spin, fragile minions die, then there's just a boss and spin spin spins spin spin spin spin, finally dead.
This. Have a 50 Staff/Electric. It's fun, but it's damage output is as low as any Melee character I've played. Survivable as all heck if you can get Mobs clumped up for the KD though.
Staff is a fun set to play, but don't play it if you're looking for numbers or fast clear times.

Actually, that's an interesting answer. Honestly, I would have been looking for heavy proc's for spin but not much else.
On the EA side, I'm wondering if ppl keep the tier 9 or try to work around it? I think it's gonna be useful more as a Dull Pain kind of thing than for the Def bonus. You can get yourself near Max HP with it slotted and that's gotta be worth it.
I couldn't make Overload work so I ditched it, it always de-toggles me. Every time. Not worth it. (There are people who can work around it, those people are better players than me, I'm okay with that)
Presuming you're firing off Energy Drain enough to double stack it, you're at or past the incarnate cap on S/L/F/C/E, Negative Energy is soft capped with room to spare. Psi and Toxic chew you up still. Just eat purples if you want to see 80% Defense numbers. /EA can put up some silly numbers, I actually dialed back on some of the set bonuses to squeeze more procs into the attack chain.
The KD in Spin and Shockwave (and Focus) also help a lot. You're keeping a lot of mobs bouncing. And when fighting multiple bosses Energy Drain will keep Bosses low on Blue so they will sometimes alternate between bouncing and standing around waiting for the Blue bar.

Curse you...totally right of course. Scrap it, unplayable.

For farming? For Teaming? For Soloing? For funsizes?
In my experience Brute primaries are more about the feel for the player. Numbers wise they're actually pretty close (comparted to other ATs) but Spines for AoE, Energy Melee for Single Target, Claws for a solid balance of both. I hear good things about Savage, never run one to 50 though. And Staff is a lot of fun, easily took mine to 50, and it's probably the "worse" Brute primary set.
Secondary sets, Dark Armor for resists, Energy Armor for Defense, Invulnerability for mixed?
And of course Spines/Fire for farming.
It's cliché advise, but play what feels good. They'll all get to 50 just fine, and IO'd and Incarnated will solo most +4/*8 mission content.
If you have a specific "Thing" in mind for your Brute to do, you'll get some real specific feedback I suspect.

The IO is not a power, and itself also just makes you translucent - costume still visible, unless you're stacking with something else. The tailor has no clue that it's stealthing you, so that one... *shrug*.
Just looking to see what's doing what and if there's an option on a couple:
Steamy mist barely makes you translucent.
Energy cloak, yeah, still does a nice, full invis.
Arctic fog: Translucent.
... didn't go through the others, just took a quick look. While I would probably not use the option (makes sense to be invisible while invisible, and I don't really care how I look when in the middle of a fight,) just normalizing the options (NoFX, Translucent, Invisible for those powers giving more invisibility) makes sense, just to standardize what people expect to have happen.
Totally could be a Null the Gull sort of option for a character instead of a Power by Power sort of change. Just suppress the translucent effect on all abilities if selected. No idea what would be easier to implement.
Either way, should be a player choice. Some players probably like it. They're wrong, but I can't change that : ) Either a power customization option or Null the Gull (or some other third thing I didn't think about).
And, personally, I don't care for even what Steamy mist does. However minor it is. A lot of this games appeal (for me anyway) is the costume generator, don't hide it!

Cloak of Darkness from Dark Armor doesn't have the translucency. It has no FX at all that I can see. That would be a nice option for all Stealth powers.
And I mean all the powers that grant Stealth, like the Celerity IO, Energy Cloak from Energy Armor, Steamy Mist, ect, ect. Not just the power pools.
It was an option I appreciated a lot on my Dark Armor character, would be nice for it to make it's way to others.

Hi! For PvE it would be nice if we could see our costumes all the time. Cloak of Darkness from Dark Armor already has this option, if it could be added to other Stealth powers that would be nifty.
Thanks!

I meant longer as compared to Scrapper, yes. My Homecoming main is a Claws/Invuln Scrapper, so that's what I was comparing it too. I've taken to grabbing the empowerment station buffs out of the SG base, they help a bit. Also as the build has gotten more durable the recharge buff from Entropic Aura gets stronger from more mobs.
Now that Focus is available I typically save Arcane Bolt for when the bonus damage is up. Or for runners. In general though Arcane Bolt is rarely a bad choice for leveling.

Dinged 17, got a couple Kinetic Melee sets slotted, made a noticeable difference. Got Spin 5 Slotted with Avalanche, really feel the longer recharge on Spin. Minions just hang around longer than they should.
Only 17 so the secondary is pretty much /Inspirations, but I've been able to creep up the difficulty. Got some LotGs waiting at 22 though, so EA should start to matter soon. The leveling build is going to look a lot different from the planned build, that's for sure : ) Took Sorcery for Arcane Bolt and Mystic flight and do not not regret.

I would have added /rad but you think /bio has too many clicks. I haven't used /fire for non-farm content, but I love /ea on the Stalker and Scrappers I have used it on. Energize will be the dominate click you use as end usage can be handed rather easily.
Tried /Rad as well and it didn't gel either. Claws/EA it is! Thanks all. Xx Hold my beer xX is now playing on an Indom near you! Have fun out there!
