[EM/Invuln?]

Been trying to dig up information on EM/Invuln Brutes but the lack of topic discussions with those three words in the same sentence hasn't yielded any results. I've found pages on them individually, sure but that doesn't really help since the information is so vague. I've tried general build advice but I feel like it's more or less the same thing I would have done just speccing on my own. Having the resources to make the build isn't an issue.. but it's hard to decorate a house when it's got no foundation.

 

What are my strengths? What do I prioritize? 

 

I don't need the build to be top-tier or anything of the like, but I would like to be able to properly defend myself in most situations be in Zone or Arena. Game allows 3 different builds, I can spec for both if that's what it comes down to.

[How is Melee in PvP these days?]

I've been scouring these forums and the discord for about 5 hours now searching for any build advice for my EM\Invuln Brute and am disheartened to see that I may be just wasting my time. I really love this combo too. Is the only options for melee really that limited?

[Energy Melee - Does not need]

I wouldn't be opposed to getting the old Energy Transfer animation back on Brutes. I still took it and Total Focus and just sucked it up. While the "Fab 3" get better results, I need more variety. Now, if they made EM more akin to boxing style moves I'd be okay with that too! Or hell, I'll even take the KB Blow animation for Total Focus! If you're gonna' make me hang out and watch, at least give me something SPECTACULAR to watch!

[Glad HC is going to look at Energy Melee]

Not gonna lie, I'm kinda' bummed out about knowing most people just skip out on ET/TF.  I've been running EM/Invuln and I've been browsing for build suggestions and now I'm just second guessing the entire build altogether now. =(
