Magellen Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Just pondering a few things. I'm kinda "stuck" for the lack of a better term with my Brute. 😕 It's a lev 50 with all kinds of Incarnate Abilities as you can see from one of the screenshots. It's Elec/Elec/Mu.... and I have been capable of doing 99% of anything I've ever wanted to do while solo playing (my work schedule makes teaming a biotch sadly. I make all the influence I want with it (and then some) 👍 Ergo... I have all the Enhancing I think I need and such. I wanna do "more" with it... but I'm having brain farts on what else to do. I wish I could do a respec similar to what they could do with Champions Online (most of it was GAGGING.... but for one thing I miss) meaning I wish I could change out Elec Melee for Hammer or Axe Assault and such. Anyone got any ideas? I've got 5 respecs at my disposal... and it seems like I've done most of what I wanna do with it 🤑 Sorry for the vague post. I figure it would be better to ask here than in game. Danke mucho 😜 Here is to honor.. to jump on her... and to stay on her!
Meruk Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 I'm not really sure what you are looking for, but if it is ways to improve your character, there are plenty. First of all, honestly, you have WAY more powers than what you could possibly use, and because of the lack of slots they are underperforming. Also, your toon is a punching bag literally, it's lacking defenses, I understand that Electric Armor is a Resistance focused powerset but I recommend looking for ways to raise at least your melee defense through IO sets and/or Power Pools, it will increase your survivability significantly. I've found this build in one of the Archives, it's kinda expensive, but it's very well rounded, it has a good balance of defenses/resistances/recharge, i'm sure you could make it more tankier with some changes at expense of recharge but i'll leave that up to you :p.

Kabuki Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 I would also look at doing what you can to get the Accolades that boost your Health and Endurance. May involve faction swapping with Null the Gull to minimize the amount of team required things to do, but it would boost up your character some.
Magellen Posted November 14, 2019 Author Posted November 14, 2019 Thanks for both responses 👍 Yeah... I just need to shake things up with the character so to speak. I can see what you mean by it seems like it's a "punching bag". At times it feels that way. It's a pretty tough character... but I'm always looking for ways to make it tougher. Plus with the 5 respecs at my disposal... I like a lot of the ideas that ya mentioned. One thing I am gonna tinker with too is that in my Incarnate Abilities... I use Resilient Core Paragon in my Alpha Slot. I am seriously considering slotting Cardiac Core Paragon. I've almost got it created 😜 Another thing I am gonna consider too is a LOT less ranged powers. I only grabbed the Sorcery Pool when the character was "younger" because of estetic/theme reasons. No longer the case now thankfully 😏 I'm glad ya mentioned the Accolade Idea... kinda slipped my mind actually 😰 Back in the ol' "live" days nearly all my lev 50s had the Geas of the Kind Ones, which was very useful 💪 Back then too my fav zone was Croatoa and I always made sure I did every mission with every contact in it... plus I always loved doing the Katie Hannon TF to the point where I had it memorized 😇 Since I've been on Homecoming? I've not done as much in the zone as I would like. But I know I will now.... danke 😏 SIDENOTE; The attached image is from one of my old toons on Infinity ... just felt like sharing 😃 Here is to honor.. to jump on her... and to stay on her!
