No pressure. Do you feel comfortable giving me your global to see if we could ever synch up? Again, no worries if you can't.

Affordable for a man of my limited means. Just out of curiosity; any chance you pilot either a farming Brute on Torchbearer or Kin? I only ask as I run both but find solo farming so horrifically boring that I require some company. This toon isn't gonna fund itself! NO worries if you have no interest in this kind of thing.

Excelleo! I'll take out that Aegis slot and send it over to Oppressive Gloom, remove one from Mind Probe and slot it over to Hasten. I think I'll take out the Gift of Winter 20% slow resist in SJ and give myself a -KB IO from Zeyphr. Thank you for the feed back.

I always forget about Hami//Synth IO's! Are Endo's currently expensive? I'm at work and can't check.

So here's the thing. My understanding of the AT is in its infancy and I'd absolutely love for one of you Sent Sages to have a look-see at this here abomination I've created. Cut it open and lemme know here I went wrong. Thank You.

The answer to your question is quite obviously BIO!

Please, pick up Gloom ASAP. It's one of the best DPA attacks a Brute has access to. It's part of any high DPS chain as well.

Gloom is one of the highest DPA attacks Brutes can get. Take it, slot it, love it. Dark Obliteration is a decent AoE Filler if needed but I think you'll find Burn, Blazing Aura, Improved Shadow Maul and a proc'd out Dark Consumption more than enough. Darkest Night can be useful for tough EB/AV encounters if you solo but can be skipped as most late game teams melt mobs with alarming speed. If you do decide to take it, consider picking up Touch of Fear to pair with it. The -ToHit Debuff between the two is substantial.

Unless you're dead set on the Scrapper AT, you might want to consider rolling a WM/Regen Brute or Tanker. WM is amazing on Scrappers but Regen will benefit from a Brute/Tankers higher HP ceiling.

Just an FYI; The Dev Team is "looking" at TW/Bio Scrappers and that usually translates to an incoming nerf. Hope I'm wrong but it is what it is.

Just my own experience here w/Dom farming. Plant/Savage/Fire AND Fire/Stone/Fire I run at 52x8

Thought I'd take a stab at Fire/Kin Farming? Probably a bad idea but wth, yolo. Hero Plan by Mids' Hero Designer 1.962 http://www.cohplanner.com/ Click this DataLink to open the build!

Preface: Fellow Blaster Brethren, Renown Blasting Royalty and Distinguished Blaster Forum Lurkers; I enter your dojo of destruction with only a humble desire to learn in my wicked & withered Dominating heart. You'll forgive me for attempting to bastardize your AT for my own miserable ends. You see, I yearn to attempt to first control my prey prior to annihilating them. My desire to dominate is too deeply ingrained. I am fully cognizant that this will impede my damage, kill speed, potential to aid myself and teams. In, this one instance I must confess that I don't care. In this selfish pursuit; I'm willing to sacrifice reason, influence and production. Rather than point out these known flaws, please assist me in making the build more Dominating, more controlling...

Hey Gang, Did the Stalker's version of Shadow Maul get the Buff in Cone Distribution that both Scrappers, Brutes and Tankers received? If so, it might be time to make me one. Thanks.

Ura my hero, sir. Merit FARMING HERE I COME!

I've started running it. You're right! It's quick and fairly easy. I still faceplant at that Obilisk mission from time to time 😞 Is there a resource that you know of that lists missions and what, if any, merits they award for completion? Thanks

Wow, Tidge, Thank You! Even as a long time player back since Homecoming opened; I'm still surprised at my general lack of knowledge about the game. This is wonderful.

Thanks for the info. Would you also happen to know what arcs can be run solo for merits via Oroborus?

Great read. While I'm a long time player and forums lurker; I've never tried to convert merits into converters. How and wheres does one do this?

Love it on all my Dark Melee characters.

Looks like a great pairing. The new & improved Shadow Maul sounds absolutely bonkers. I'm just finishing up my DM/EA Scrapper and you've got me chomping at the bit to roll a RAD/DM Tanker. I had a few DMs toons back on Live and to say Shadow Maul was tough to love is an understatement.

Welp, I dinged 50 during the plague and this is the best I could come up with. But... there's some issues here. Namely, Phantom Army isn't perma (it's at 67 seconds) and neither is Hasten. I did reach Ranged Soft-capped Defense so I've got that going for me at least. I'd like to take this character deep into the the Incarnate Trials and other TFs. Let me know where I went wrong.
