Looking at the Brute build that I just made, it mostly looks like an Incarnate-level or “OH ****!” ability (or an excellent way to mostly disregard that Rage crash).

When Energy Aura first came out, there was no way that I would touch that set without an aggro aura. Once it was updated, I always wanted to give it a go, however, I was waiting on a port to Tankers. This thread has once again interested me enough in the set that I now have an EA Brute sitting at level 1 for the mandatory Miracle/Numina unique combo (I don’t even look at a character without at least those sitting in it’s enhancement tray from the start). Thanks for the input, everyone. I still want to see a Tanker version, however, I’ll finally give the Brute version a go.😁

Interesting, I don’t think that many of us have considered that. You already have the compiled list to share, right?😁

We are there when the patch goes live and not before, however, I’m with you on that one.

This right here. It’s why dropping the Endurance increase was one of my very first suggestions in the old thread.

Sounds like that could be a future test-run.😁 Thanks for the reply, Captain.

Super Strength set balance is a task for another day. Let’s get through the AT balancing first before we more to powersets.

If that is necessary for Tanker EA, then by all means.

Is this going to wind up as a “SR sucks so we can’t have nice things” Defense? Energy Aura doesn’t take Super Reflexes lunch money, Shield Defense does.

Now, THAT sounds like a challenge. I love Tanking challenges.😁

And miss out on this kind of reply? Not a chance.

I get that Regeneration likely would need some rework to make playable on Tankers, however, Super Reflexes also caps Defense early, so I don’t see the issue.

I was thinking along the lines of using Defense recipe drops, however, that also works just as well.

Luck of the Gambler Kinetic Combat Performance Shifter proc Numina unique Miracle unique Panacea unique Steadfast Protection: +3 Defense unique Gladiator’s Armor unique Shield Wall unique My own experience tells me that those will rank at the top of the list.

I would like to formally request that Energy Aura be ported over to Tankers at the earliest opportunity. I would love to give that a go as a Tanker set.

Not always. It’s actually cheaper on average to convert and attune Defensive sets into Luck of the Gambler than it is to buy them. The same goes for any high level PvP procs that you would prefer to slot at the lowest level available.

Grab a Shield Wall proc. They are easy to either buy or convert and add another 5% Resistance.

Indeed, congratulations to the winners.

Perfect. Now, you can get back to getting that patch ready and we can get back to waiting. 😁

Perhaps “getting a band-aid” was better terminology.

The only thing that is changing in Super Strength at the moment is Rage.

Also, be aware that if you already possess these at higher levels, it is worth it to Attune them to slot as soon as possible. Either use Catalyst drops or buy them from Wentworths (the most cost-effective options) and don’t waste 20 merits on them.

All of those can easily cap S/L Resists on Brutes with the right build structure.😁
