I want a Brute that bleeds inky blackness. I want a Brute that dances with the Void. I want a Brute that allows my pretty monitor to be able to distinguish between black, dark black, and "holy crap is there a miniature black-hole on the center of your screen"-black. AND, if at all possible, would be fun to play in game. These resists are just fine, and with the mega Incarnate powers will be awesome. BUT, I feel like I am missing something or making some major mistakes. ~Beorn (who loves to make characters, but is not the best at IO crunching) This Villain build was built using Mids Reborn 3.1.2.5 https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

I have a Dark/Invul Brute that is virtually impervious in S/L farms, but slower than a true farmer. In open world he is so much fun! The concept is neat, but now I want to make a proper Dark/Dark/Soul/Void Brute and see where I can take the inky darkness!

This build is pretty darn cool! I was wondering, is there a way to keep the more magical aspects of the build from the Sorcery pool? If not, no worries. Just the magical flight combining fly AND teleport was cool, and the runes that floated around me were kinda neat. Once again, I love the build you made. And, I can raise the inf needed to make just about anything in a few days. But I was digging the "spooky demon trying to leave evil behind through magick" concept. ~B P.S.- So, electrical fences was just gotten in order to get to Ball Lightning in Mu Mastery? I know that it is a decent CC power. But, Energy is a hard hitter and might not need it. Thanks!

Hey folks, my defenses are both over blown and not enough, and apart from when Rune of Protection is up, my resistances are less than I want too. I don't have hasten, and since the combat jumping is not all THAT useful, I might swap hasten for that, and take one of the slots from either health or stamina.

I too am interested in a good energy/energy Brute build. Understand that inf is no hindrance. Much obliged! ~B

The absolute most fun and most devastating build I have made is a Dark Melee/Invulnerability Brute that is almost impervious to everything: He's not the most expensive build I have (That would be my human form Warshade), but he's not cheap. I love playing him when I want to solo TFs. Others for fun are Super Strength/Radiation Armor, and for giggles (and 2 teleport-like powers) Electrical Melee/Shield Defense.

I am very fond of my my Dark Melee/Invulnerability Brute. He is damn near indestructible. ~B

My shield/elec tank is virtually indestructible (unless I get HEAVY defense debuffs), but the damage is very lackluster. I was hoping to see a Brute version with some more oomf. ~B

How important is "Swap Ammo" for the Sent build? Just how good are the DoTs or the other effects? Also, I am going with dual pistols, Invul, Ninja (I dig the idea of the Darksaber), and I will use the Cryo Crey pistol and then Pyro Judgement. I THINK that should about do it. Now to get back into Mids and work this thing out.

I have the ice Mastery for the carbonite (as opposed to the flame-thrower stuff). Any way to make this more... cool? Defensive? In keeping with the concept?

As the title suggests, I have a very specialized farming build. And while running through endless fire farms and feeling like a demi-god is fun... it DOES feel, well... endless. I have PvE Tanks, Brutes, Scrappers, Peacebringers, Warshades... But, I want to take THIS toon out into the wild world beyond the walls of the AE Corporation. SO, tl/dr- PLEASE if anyone has a successful PvE build for a Spines/Fire Brute (preferably that would scale well) and wouldn't mind sharing, please drop it down below. I have Mids' Reborn and, in case it wasn't specifically stated, cost for a build isn't a problem. Many thanks everyone! ~B

I am not sure WHY I did things like 5 purples in brawl (*EDIT- Boxing I mean), but... she does the job well. But she could be better. Any ideas?

I am writing this WHILE my Shield Defense/Electric Melee Tank is slowly (oh so slowly), methodically, plodding through one of my favorite Task Forces. But OH MY GOSH THIS IS TAKING FOREVER!!! I love it, but when Cyclops or Minotaurs pop their Unstoppable, it takes forever to take them out, even with red insps, build up, Ion judgement, and a double whammy of Shield Charge and Lightning Rod. ANY help on the best sets (like, Energy/Bio or something) would be eternally appreciated. And, influence/infamy is no object. Thanks all!

I made, essentially this same build and I am LOVING off-tanking with her! Thanks!

Thanks @SableShrike! I really appreciate this!

I uploaded it RIGHT after you mentioned it, thank you!

Hi folks, Beorn here, and I am really trying to figure out a way to make my single form Warshade, Void-Wolf, better. Some of you might even have seen the YouTube video I did a few years ago about the build, and a little after then Homecoming stopped videos for a while. He is fun to play, but not NEARLY as devastating as some of the builds I have seen in these forums, even though he cost a BOATLOAD of influence. ANY advice is welcome, and honestly, I really love the playstyle. This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.1.2.5 https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

What Incarnates are recommended for Warshades?

As the title suggests, I am looking for something very effective in end game content, but still have a certain style. I have pines, but if someone has already got something they vouch for, I would love to see it. Beorn

And I am not finding anything. Concept is, Jaguar Shaman from a magical mummification found deep under the Mayan city of Chichen Itza. I see Savage Melee here and there, but not a whole lot of Scrapper Ninjitsu. And, I am thinking scrapper rather than Stalker. I would appreciate any and all "let's make this being slightly more than a glass cannon" builds! ~Beorn

@HelenCarnate, that is a sweet build! I believe she was hoping more for the ice mastery to keep with the water concept, but, hey, that is some fine defense there. And, is smoke flash all that useful? I am honestly curious; I play mostly tank-style specs. Thanks for all of the guidance everyone! ~B

I should add, inf is no object. I will do whatever I can to help her build be as fun and resilient as possible. She will be running with me and some friends, and I have decent tanks/brutes, but obviously she will solo from time to time. ~B

Hello all, so, my daughter played the original City of Heroes and now, would like to get back into it. However, she has a concept that wasn't really available at the original time she played. She has this "water-bender shinobi" type from the Avatar and Legend of Korra TV shows in her head. Here is what I came up with. I would prefer a viable build (if she dies all the time, less fun) over the perma-hasten build I have now. Ideas?
