some real good suggestions here and yes i did double up on Fire Aura but the brute is a farmer and the tank is not he is for all content. a lot of people seem to be pushing claws how is the damage out put i always thought claws was lacking in damage out put but i have never played it. is claws something that you can take out an AV with does it do enough DPS?

thank you everyone and i will take all the information i really did not know anything about stone armor prior to this so i have learned alot again thank you very much for the info

so i would like to work on a scrapper i have mostly played tankers and brutes at the moment i have a stone/rad brute / titan/bio brute / fire/ss tanker / ice/spines tanker and rad/fire brute farmer. i play solo a lot and once i hit 50 i would like to be able to solo at at least +2 x8. i don't want a repeat of power sets so no primaries or secondary power sets that i currently run on other characters. cost is no problem i have plenty of inf to build anything. thanks ahead of time for the recommendations.

if you want a lot of AOE try looking at Titan weapon and look at putting it with Energy Aura you can slot Entropic Aura with taunt enhancements to help keep thing on you.

ok thank you i got my son to come over and he helped me set it up

i have ran many of brutes of all kinds i would say out of your choices i would go either Ice /Rad or Ice/Bio both have a lot of survivability built in damage/healing/regen/to-hit/endurance recovery/ recharge lol i could go on and on but in my mind Radiation and Bio are the most well rounded sets with propyl willpower and invulnerability just behind them. don't get me wrong ever secondary power for a brute can be built to be almost indestructible but these 2 tend to stand out to me personally. at work now but tomorrow morning i can post a couple of builds that you can look over.

lol i will use anything i did like the way the popmenu + bind worked better seems simpler

i have tried many times to get the binds to work for combining inspirations to no avail. i am not the most computer savvy so i am sure that is the problem. is there a step by step instructions on how to do this. i have looked over the guides. Advanced Binds - Combining Inspirations in to Reds (Automatically) - for Brutes/Farmers and Zen and the art of farming but i have no idea what i am doing when it comes to making these work can anyone help me with this.

ok i looked it up whirling smash increased from 10 targets to 16 and arc of destruction increased from 5 targets to 10 but there was no radius increases for Titan weapons'

I don't ever see tankers taking Titan Weapons' is it not a good fit for tanks or is there another reason i would think with all the aoe/pbaoe that it has that it would be good for tanking.

i never said anything about slowing down DPS i said the scattered mobs make it to were melee players have to run all over the place. and as a tank i do move on to the next group but only after the Bosses are down and i know the team can handle what i leave them. i also am not saying that everyone plays that way just seems like more recently there has been more times than not i am seeing this happen and i may be keeping a couple bosses on me and 10 other things and people are running ahead and pulling stuff then complaining that the tank could not hold agro. lol i guess i am just venting a little here i still love the game and even at this moment can't wait to get off work to be able to get on and play.

So how many of you have got on to a team and as the fighting begins you are having to run around like crazy to get to your targets because the ranged and controller types have either locked everything down all spread apart or his the area with an attack that has the enemies scattering around like crazy. i love playing tanks not saying i am the greatest at it i for sure could use some improvement. but some times i think that non melee characters don't understand that melee do there best when everything is in a close group. it helps with the tanker getting and keeping agro, it allows the brute to increase his fury easier and i don't know if it is true but it seems like on a scrapper and stalker when they don't have to run all over the place and the more steady there attack chain is the more critical hit you see. i know it seems wrong to just stand there but i have found that in the groups i have played with that allow the the tank to group things up and melee begin there attacks then controllers lock the group down and or ranged attacks begin things seem to go a lot better and a lot less chance of deaths. i know that there are ambushes that jump in but that is when you tank should grab there agro and leave the rest of the melee to deal with the group that is locked down or being dealt with . Everyone in COH now a days seems to be in a huge rush to get through everything i find my self at times wanting to rush through content as well i wonder how many people playing today know the story behind the missions that they are running and how many just click to get to the next mission.

ok don't get me wrong this build is doing very well i can run normal content witch is what it is for with no issues but just wondering if it can be better.

Bio/Spines would be a good place to start. Bio performs very well at the lower levels also at higher levels but some primaries are late bloomers and you can switch between defensive stance and efficiency stance if needed to help with endurance. you will eventually have 3 auras going so that will help to maintain aggro on top of your taunt witch can be used more for pulling a stray off the squishy guy.

is there 1 combination that seems to do better than the rest as far as tanker primary/secondary and has anyone looked to see if there is a difference between tank and brute for ability to complete a run. does tank do better than brute or does brutes damage out put help?

so i am looking at the different tank primaries was thinking about Bio but have no idea really how to build it. does anyone have a good Bio tank that they can share a build for me to check out i am planning on pairing it with SS at least that is what i am thinking so far.

i know you already did a respec but here is my version of this build see what you think.

thanks for the input i think i will do with out stone fist and keep fault it could help my team mates with the knockdown. that still gives me stone mallet / heavy stone mallet / tremor / seismic smash / hurl bolder / shield charge for damage attacks to choose from.

so i am working on a Stone / Shield Brute and wondering what can i give up on stone melee i have to give up 2 powers in the stone melee power set i know i will not take taunt but what else can i give up?
