[Build help with EM/Inv Brute]

Hyperstrike, it certainly is! I was pointed to your guide and built around it. I really appreciate your insight.

[Build help with EM/Inv Brute]

Thank you all so much--I'm going to first try out changing the build but keeping Mu, as it is part of the character's concept. If that doesn't work, I'll drop it for Energy Mastery. I will also post my changed builds and how they are performing.

 

 

[Build help with EM/Inv Brute]

I am trying to figure out why my brute, while softcapped to S/L, capped to S/L resists, and hits like a mule, is bleeding endurance. I have an EM/Inv tank without these issues, but he's built around Kinetic Combat sets. Any ideas?

 

Thanking you in advance, here's Gigantine.
