Thanks Apparition! Great points. Now to just decide on the archetype. If I went Rad, it seems Brutes would do better with the damage buff from Meltdown. That being said... Tankers seem really strong right now after their buffs 😂

This is a great breakdown. End game content, would you say DA would be better for general content, and Rad would be better for AV fighting due to the -regen?

Solid counterpoint! Concept beats all, right? 😂

Nice man! I was looking at both Rad Armor and Dark Armor for it. Do you have an opinion on which one you think would work better with it? It seems that Dark may have more bells and whistles, but can be super end heavy. Rad may have an easier time.

Hi heroes (and villains 😉)! I’ve always been interested in Katana. It seems like a fairly quick animating power set which still has some “crunch” to it. Plus, it can lend itself to some really cool concepts ranging from Jedi to Cyborg Ninjas =P That being said, I’ve rolled Tankers, Brutes, Scrappers and Stalkers fairly equally - so I’m not tied down to a specific archetype. Do you have an archetype you prefer to run Katana on, where you feel it may be most optimal? Also, are there any primaries/secondaries you’d recommend to match it with on your preferred archetype? This should be a fun conversation, and I’d love to hear from you all!

Haha nice! I know you’re knew Brunker is Fire/MA however =P but Fire/EA sounds like it’d be up there as well. And thanks for the advice on Katana! I’ve always enjoyed seeing Kat, but haven’t played one of my own. It’s been tough for me to choose and Archetype to play it on, but everyone keeps saying tankers are in a great place right now...

Does anyone feel that there is a very synergistic primary to go with EM currently on tankers? @Infinitum has spoken very highly about Fire/EM as a fantastic combo. @Sovera had tested it as well. Also, how does Katana work on a tanker? Any primaries that go well with it? I’ve seen some people mention Dark/Katana in the past. Seems particularly edgy =P

This is a really cool pairing, and I love the thought you put into the build! Plus, it just has a “cool” factor =P

NW man, appreciate all that you do!

Did you do any tests seeing what was more optimal in your final Fire/MA build, Crippling Axe Kick or Eagles Claw?

Pizza is life. A man with priorities, I see.

Makes sense. I have an E3 Sent that drains EB’s and below very easily. Hard to put a dent in an AV though, by myself at least. Would probably need to build a team around it. Just with AV recovery, idk if it is actually possible to keep them from attacking, since they only need 1 end to do so lol

Haha makes sense, and my preferred way as well 😂

Hi all! I understand that mobs can always attack, even if they have 1 endurance. However, is it possible to fully drain and AV or GM and KEEP them at zero endurance so they can’t attack? I was under the impression that you can’t, but a buddy of mine says you can.

This is a HUGE help, I appreciate it. And hey, you're the forebear to this particular combo, which is pretty cool 😄 Savage just seems like a satisfying set to play with the leap, and Rad seems to have some nice bells and whistles.

Fair enough. I'm definitely on board with a Fire/MA Tanker. I was curious how you felt the Rad/DM combo would fair on a tanker, compared to a Scrapper. On paper, it seems like it'd be pretty damn sturdy to me. I do have a Invuln/SS, so I know about the just being able to stand there forever component of that set 😂 Just exploring new things.

I might start building it out and see how it does 😛 Keep us updated though on how that testing goes! I'd be very interested in hearing how it works out. A different note: I've been looking to build a Rad Armor hero. Not sure what to pair it with. Didn't you mention that @Monos King has a DM/Rad Armor hero that is a PvP and PvE beast?

That last sentence is a major sell 😂 I wasn't sure how the set would feel with skipping it's T9, but it seems like it still flows well. It also seems like Fire covers MA's AOE problem, and MA adds some needed defense to fire. Win/Win I guess. Should be pretty decent for fighting AV's I'm sure.

I also like how you proc'd out Ground Zero and Savage Leap!

This is awesome cutter, I appreciate it! How have you liked playing it?

Hey Sovera! So I've been working on your Fire/Ice Tanker build, the hidden gem. It's been a good time, but I'm seeing all of this popping up in regards to Fire/MA. Would you recommend I run with that build instead? Fire/Ice and Fire/EM both have the double build up mechanic, but what is it about Fire/MA that makes it so special and moves it in front of those 2?

Hi all! I've yet to roll either a Savage Melee or Radiation Armor toon, so I thought "why not combine them both?" 😄 So I've creeped the forums and, for the life of me, I can't find a sample build for this particular combo. Does anyone who has played this combo have any insight/advice that they'd be willing to share? I'd appreciate it!

Dang, forgot that category. We'll substitute it in for one of the others.

No, you're forgetting the other 8 categories: Chadness Sexiness Muskyness Stubborness Singing Dancing Olympic Lifting Freestyle rapping.

Does this mean Brutes win all the decathlons? 😂
