Snarky

if you want to play in a giant online "community" i am sure you can find a world of warcrap out there. i have a one man SG so i can easily access enhancers on the different builds i experiment with. Since the PUG groups on Excelsior are outstandingly good i really do not find the need to hover in an SG chat room or even use private channels. i just log on, look at LFG and join a great team rocking through content

People may have many strategies to play with Fury. You can sweep all that out of the way and get right down to it Brute Force style. Brutes generate fury when attacking and being attacked. That last part...being attacked. Brutes are nearly as tough as Tanks. A Invulnerability Brute, and a few others like my Dark/Dark Brute are probably tougher than a Fire Armor Tank. So....Brutes get Fury by being attached plus Brutes shrug off most attacks equal CANNONBALL into a large spawn. Then your Fury bar is pegged to as much as it is going to get. There is a lot of history behind Fury, the Fury nerf, the Fury nerf fix, and on and freaking on. just jump into the largest group you can handle and let them give you the power to kill them. 90% time it works 100% of the time.

I was fortunate enough to know a great storyteller who used a lot of alternate worlds. It helped me think of the possibilities as they might be, rather than just assume everything is the same in a different world. Between Ouro and a billion different alts all trying to re-write timelines and re-experience things it is easy to forget "paragon City" as we know it in the run from 1-50+Incarnate is a very brief period of time. In the timeline where you take a villain and break out of the zig, er, defeat a Shivan in Galaxy, um...crap, it started already. Okay, so in the timeline where you become a Supervillain the Freedom Phalanx is being overwhelmed by you and other villains and Arachnos schemes. Culminating in the LRSF. Oh, and the Ritki thing. They have a LOT on their plate. And in that very specific timeline it does not go well for them. As you play through Redside you defeat their agents, befoul their attempts at being heroes, and in the end defeat them.

Here is the build I have been argoiung with. It mostly won, but I made a pyrrhic victory at least. I have achieved softcap Def to all but Psi without incarnating. As I incarnate I will be going for Alpha and Hybrid that add Damage, and the ranged chain AoE for judgement. Doubt I will be visiting Defender anytime soon. This is the lazy man's Blaster. No jousting. Just hover someplace and start throwing electricity at crap until the team moves on.

THis is specifically a team toon. !) I enjoy Bruting solo 2) I am really a noob on Sentinels. 3) I enjoy TFs and Trials. Which is where I see this guy working. I find myself a little crazy on Brutes. Sentinel work will make me more team conscious I believe. That is part of my 3 Leadership Toggle strategy as well, dovetailing with my need for DEF, Dam, and percieved need for Acc and Perception. (THis might be a skewed perspective :-))

I am trying to decide on Willpower or Invulnerability as a secondary. I love Invul on Brutes. My goal for the build is a ranged platform to put Incarnate +Dam boosts on, exclusively. I want to resolve sturdiness, and specifically END problems without needing to resort to Incarnate choices to fix. To make this more pointed I want to take Leadership toggles to get a jump on that goal. THe build is just the platform. I want the Manuevers, Tactics, and Assault. Def, Acc, Perc, +Dam are all in this toons future. So I need a lot of juice up front. I had decided to go Willpower. Then I read posts that led me to believe Sentinel Invulnerability has Endurance bonuses that are substantial and Sentinel specific. Any thoughts are appreciated. THanks.

i am using Hypertrikes template above and cramming elec onto it. my idea is a ranged tank (even if a very light tank) that is very endurance stable. so i can cram all 3 leadership toggles on, then devote incarnate powers to pure damage, having resolved res/def/end/health in basic 50 i/o build

THe reason I chose Will over Invul is the Endurance. Just read a blurb from Oldskool about Invul having great Endurance on a Sentinel and generally a better set. While I was in a farm on the elec/will. Sigh. Rerolling. Elec/Invul, here I come

yeah, but to dig the hole further i have moved on to Elec/Will. i can find the bottom. oh, yeah.

Sentinels. I am on a Sentinel kick. Just did an ice/ice and a dark/dark to 50. Liking the more AoE than a Brute. Played hard fire support the last 8 levels on the Dark/Dark in various farms. Only like 3 deaths. The short time on the nuke is nice. I will prob look at other Sentinel sets. Give me range Devs! Where are the ranged nukes???

also each one procs for damage, and that is a cheat help

Here is the Brute Hyperstrike wrote up for me. I ran this for 7 months when I found Homecoming again. Just rowdy fun. I still have the build and will never crack it for parts. It is perfect.

You need Hyperstrikes guide on how to build an Invul tank. Let me see if I have something saved

I just 50'd a rad rad Brute. Meh, something about it i do not like. I am now levelling a Dark Fire Brute. Thi...I like. I have a Dom project in my mind. and probably another Brute. Always, another Brute

and that is what makes a good role player. and possibly a great actor

oh, that is an easy one. These words are adjectives. about as descriptive as telling someone you just painted their car blue. then hanging up. wait? blue? what color blue? who are youuuuuuuuu?

well, i had run UG once or twice before. One a Master attempt. So i prob had some badges. Definitely already had the kill last boss during certain time frame. But i think we nailed that as well. It was a solid stick together league that were mostly on Discord. Not me. I am too Snarky for Discord lol

kick Hero buttocks

i see your point. and i agree. Hardcase thinks he is that tough. But you KNOw you are tougher. But tree dialogue options were beyond the early Devs planning. I do recommend you run the Johnny Sonata arc. I hate wailers but curb stomping Hardcase is a joy.

The Arachnos guys. Sure, they are just a Natural with training and a few gadgets. And an entire Arachnos army behind them. The deep story here is the threat of Arachnos in your life. THis is started with Kalinda's arc in Mercy. To offset this you have Burke's arc. He tells you to work with Arachnos, take advantage of them, and make it on your own never trusting them. similarly Hardcase. St Martial is his turf. You actually do beat the crap out of him in Johnny Sonatas arc. But anytime you talk to these underworld contacts they are talking shit and talking what advantages they have. Whether it be a street corner hustler of Lord Recluse they all want to tell you what a badass they are and why you need to do something. I follow Burke's lessons. I mainly play 2 main types of villains. Super Muscle. You can threaten these guys all day long. It is like sunshine, keeps them warm. Or Super Evil. Threaten them. There is a mental notebook. They are going to kill everyone you know as soon as they get what they want from you. Everything they want. Figure out what you are doing, who you can introduce them to, etc. Then there are my Harley Quinn crazy types. I run male toons, but it is the same cheerful craziness. Have no idea what is going to happen, but it is going to make a LOT of noise. I like NOISE!!!

Back on live I grew addicted to a channel called Brickhouse. It was a couple dozen hardcore peeps who were always up to TF / Team / Weekly Cathedral of Pain Trials. (Always succeeded Blue, sometimes not enough interest Red) Just good times. On Homecoming I run on Excelsior and just PUG. Today i logged on (just mentally beat down after three hard days at work) I had checked the boards and deciced to just chill and make a new alt. A Rad/Rad Brute I saw Hyperstrike put up a build on. I ran over to AE. Stood around. Made coffee. Read online news (just bad...wtf 2020?) And was thinking I should alt and badge on my main, or riun a DFB. No energy. Someone randomly invited me to a team. A very hot farm. No tells, no asking, just invite. 34 levels later after 1 run... I was just finishing at Ms Liberty. LFG "Master of UG Trial forming Pocket D" I needed that badge! I alted to my main badger. 1 run, got badge. That is the kind of community Excelsior is. Friendly too. I see people handing money to new people and offering advice in Help all the time. I may be a villain at heart. But I know a good group of people to hang around. Happy Holidays all you Villains! and, err. Heroes. I guess.

I love you Hyperstrike! Maybe i am a stalkery Brute Player. But your mostly safe. Probably. Seriously. No seriously. i just got a wild hair to make a Rad/rad Brute. I love Tanky Builds. And in just a quick minute I find this. I still have the SS/Invul Brute Build Alt parked on Excelsior. The ultimate. If I have even half the fun with this Rad/Rad it will be a huge win.

i ran for over a year on mostly SO'd brutes. 1 ACC, 2 DAM, a RES in resist powers and End Red everywhere, (no inherent fitness lol)

you can get SOs at any level now (this is very new!)
