At damage cap the difference between them is about 10% or so. So I think when it comes to clearing trash, tank very handily beats brute unless we talk like, fire armor or savage, just due to how well those two sets scale with fury. Brute will definitely win on a pylon or AV test, but it's a small advantage when you evaluate everything else. I think tanks are now overall stronger depending on the build. Brutes will generally exemp and level better, though. I won't tell you brutes are bad now, they certainly aren't. Though I think the new toys tanks got gives them a serious edge in pretty much every metric besides dps benchmarking.

Could probably close this one for now, considering how we had the rare honor of getting an evident official confirmation of implementation. Lots of other ground to cover, but it'd be off topic at that point.

I prefer this combo on a scrapper, but the same principles apply. Rad armor lets you get away with a lot of nonsense due to beta decay and it's very high recovery. Additionally, meltdown acts as a DPS cooldown and ground zero is a pretty decent aoe for sets without decent aoe (like energy). If you decide to go the proc route, you can extend this to rad therapy. It's just an overall good set without significant weaknesses you have to cover up for, and allows you to get away with some stuff that absolutely would not fly for say, dark armor. Oh, and your "weakness" is the least encountered damage type in the game.

Are you trying to replace Cobalt as my favorite? Because you're off to a good start.

Orbiting death/inky in forms would be pretty neat. Even if suppressed.

Rebirth finally got around to this, and while I don't play on that server, I think it's time we just make this a thing on HC. Just let it be a thing, no bullshit give/take to 'balance' it, just give khelds toggle suppression and pat yourselves on a back for a job well done.

Back from a break and a little rusty, decided to take my last project out for a spin. Pretty happy with the results, considering how the trapdoor test doesn't really take advantage of energy's strengths until the very end, as there's very few boss spawns. edit: volume warning at the very end. o_o

I'd recommend claws, war mace or EM. Claws will shred on map clears and has good ST performance, em has godlike single target and good enough aoe, war mace is kinda just insane at both, but not to the same degree they specialize in.

I stand by using bone smasher to fish for procs to use on TF being the best way to do it. It's less consistent than others, but critting TF is the most significant swing in dps you can get if you're willing to adapt your rotation on the fly. This also works best for general clearing for me, get a proc off bone smasher and that's license to delete a pack with ball lightning>whirling hands.

Rad/rad scrapper just kinda melts things by existing. I wouldn't waste time with spring attack, just grab speed of sound if you want a quick gap closer.

Ew.

Join the club. Worst of both worlds there. Be nice if blast sets got a bit more of a general speed up, considering that's more or less the main reason ice and fire are so far ahead of everything.

The Aprocalypse (1).mxd Break the game over your knee. 🙂

That would explain how Alfred beat the tar out of him so easily.

Oh my god, they killed Jimmy!

Arise, Jimmy. Jimmy arise.

I'll drop a few points in defense if it means I get to use speed of sound over super speed, assuming I don't need the LOTGs from leadership.

It's annoying when it's posted as a response to actually good ideas. I'm a kheld main, and whenever a qol buff idea comes up, it tends to be posted. I'm against reworking the AT and introducing more gimmicks/oversimplifying it, but when a simple QoL idea that serves only to make the class better comes up and it's mentioned? Annoying.

A list of suggestions in the name of honor that shall be ignored in the pursuit of damage. Unless of course, you are benchmarking. Be it a challenge, or via pylon or trapdoor.

The mechanics are weird nonsense, but with procs and purples it's mid tierish. Kind of wasted potential, but it be what it be.

One of us! one of us!

I'm not a fan of tanks by any stretch of the imagination, but I've said it before and I'll say it again. Rad/SS is one of the dumbest builds you can make in this entire game if you proc it out.

Kinda wish they would activate it. People who hoard names on characters they cant even be assed to level are selfish and trash.
