I took a different tactic- max out resistance with PS down. Capped to all but Neg, Psi (85%) and toxic. Soft Cap Melee. Can run PS or Darkest Night if times get tough or for rage crash. Capped recharge debuff resistance with ageless. Should be able to spam FS with the FF proc in foot stomp. Plan to run Musc radial, Ageless radial (for debuff resistance), and all offensive incarnates. I could cap PSI if I was willing to give up ST DPS. Should run 400+ with all incarnates. sselec - Villain Brute Build plan made with Mids Reborn v3.7.14 rev. 3 ────────────────────────────── Primary powerset: Super StrengthSecondary powerset: Electric

My Ill/Cold is arguably my best soloer. Not a single enemy in the game it doesn't have an answer for and it does enough AOE damage to clean up the scraps and let PA take out hard targets

I have a TW/Elec brute that since the changes to /elec is soft capped Melee and hardcapped res to all but neg and toxic. I can focus all my incarnates on offense and debuff resistance. Theres not much in the game that can kill it and not much that can do more damage than it. The movement and lack of endurance issues are a bonus

My SR/Fire Proc tank- >Brute damage with way >Brute survivability. SR has the ability to spend minimal slots/sets on survivability, Ageless makes End a non-factor. The focus of everything else is procs and +damage.

I wonder where the DPS point is that will make reactive >degen. 600 DPS has got to be close

That's a great idea. This build is mostly a general game play build, it keeps softcapped ranged and proc'd psynado. If I were to build a pylon destroyer I would focus more on recharge and add burnout per your suggestion.

I’ve never found perma or sub 60 second PA to be necessary on my Ill/cold. I think I’m around 61-62 without ageless or FF proc. When I do have a gap if softcapped range defense and colds ability to neuter an AV/Hero isn’t enough to survive a swing or two- I’d be doing it wrong. I feel I get much more mileage out of procing my attacks for better damage than an extra second or two off of PA.

Ice/cold corr

My Ill/Cold is my most tested and by far most powerful build. The only thing that ever slows it down are multiple AVs or multiple groups aggro'd.

Possible to cap all of those with set bonuses.

This plus a fly power for the winters gift unique still make socery palatable even with the nerf to ROP.

I would work in a proc'd out Infridgidate. It does roughy 250 DPS plus an additional -20 res with achilles. Combine that with all the -res this build does would hit like an absolute truck.

Cold/Ice loved it so much I made and Ice/Cold Corruptor to play it again and then a Ice/Dev Hoverblaster.

Add in rune of protection and you have the basis for perma resist capped brute /rad builds.
