To me they are, but I Brute a lot. Was doing a stupid Master Magisterium run and the order came down to kill no pillars of light with Jacosta temp.... I died at least 8 times and prob 12. It was brutal. I die once in a while on a +4/x8 ITF. Which is funny there, because the self rez is brutal on the mobs. Then i have to reset the 10 toggles I run...sigh.... I have a couple 'armored blasters' and a ranged corruptor that is pretty good at staying alive. But yeah, squish time. And as long as we are on the subject. Taunt. My Dark/Dark Brute has no taunt. (I cant remember the last brute I took taunt with. Always Tank, never Brute) My Dark/Darkhas a stealth aura....so...I fly (always on, fly, not hover) to where I want and hit my PBAoE +buff Soul Drain. Let the mobs know I am there. Then start laying out AoE. I have a damage aura, and 2 mezze auras going. I make the mobs around me miserable. But the guys 30 feet away? They see nothing. No taunt, no see me, no problemo.

17 mobs is all anyone can taunt. a tank can taunt 17 in about zero seconds. a brute just jumps at 17 and hopes they think its funny. a blaster tries to nuke the 17 and prays it all dies.

Invulnerable be like....why you stop attacking and doing all those things with your armor? Just kill stuff.

i was already wondering about pairing this with Dark Melee. i love DM, although its a mixed bag definitely. didnt think the combat heal would help much and the Dark Consumpot is not needed....but the -tohit debuffs.....that could not hurt

Okay, trying to think of possible ways to make regen as strong as possible, as it exists now. I am thinking Brute. 1) I love Brutes, 2) No one will auto assume you are a Tank (like if you rolled a Tank) 3) you get huge health So, Bute Regen. Then build for +Health and Rech. With the build focus on +Health. Just cram as much on as possible. Solo, you have the giant helath pool. on teams, stay tight for buffs and lean into Inspiration Tray.

thoughts? Liu Kang, the new Toxic Avenger!

you could, ....but its not worth chasing psi resist for the % of the game it is an issue. carry some purples and oranges and don't be lead tank on those runs. prob solved

It is part of a larger Nemesis plot.

Invul does not realize S/L exists, laughs at everything else beside Psi. At Psi Invul is like...so this is what everyone else feels all the time?!?

I just 50's a Energy Melee / Willpower Brute. I am really surprised how strong Energy Melee is now. But what shocked me more was how, without even being softcapped, Willpower just rocks content. Granted I did I/O him like crazy and pushed to get energy resist to the mid 40s. But still, it plays WAY stronger than what I see when I look at MiDs buildout.

Aragorn: "Give me your sword." Aragorn: "What is your name?" Háleth: "Háleth, son of Háma, my lord." Háleth: "The men are saying that we will not live out the night. They say that it is hopeless." [Aragorn stands up and swings the sword.] Aragorn: "This is a good sword, Háleth, son of Háma." [He lays his hand on the boys shoulder.] Aragorn: "There is always hope."

Well, I must be batting for the other side then. To me (just to me. ? !) You are saying Regen is best for teams/leagues because it is hands down so crappy it gets the most boosts from everyone's buffs.

This is the only way I have found to change the 'loincloth drape' on the Tech Knight belt as well. and another belt piece now that I think about it, has an optional drape. One of the oddball cape options may act like this too,. dim memory. Set it 1st thing. If you get deep into the design and decide to slightly tweak the color.... you are linking colors and setting that one piece, then unlinking and doing the rest of the costume over.

I have always gravitated to Brutes. I started Redside. Even after Brute Nerf I still like the AT better. I feel Armors work better on Brutes due to the resistance caps and health levels. In particular Dark/Dark is a slow squeeze to death playstyle. It has some good single target attacks, but it excels at taking a large group and just ruining their day. Not super fast like fire, but super effective. I fear them, I stun them, I have a damage aura washing them, and I am debuffing their to hit all over the place. If there happen to be a giant roomful of mobs? They cant see me, I have a stealth aura. So i will get around to that part of the room when I decide. In the meantime I mezze, debuff, drain and kill everyone in PBAoE of me.

Oh, you want a Damage aura? My main is Dark/Dark. A Damage Aura and 2 Mezze Auras!
