The problem with all these Brute builds

[Darkir]

I keep looking at these Brute builds and every time I see a new one, all I can think is "ya gotta have more whirlwind." They all need more whirlwind. I have a fever and the only cure is more whirlwind....with a kb to kd IO and a force feedback proc.

 

 

P.S. This is an inside joke based on an SNL skit from a long time ago.

[Bill Z Bubba]

duuuuuuuude....

[Sgt. Terminus]

A stj/rad brute wearing gold plated diapers....Never question Bruce Dickinson! 

 

Sadly, if only you could truly have more Whirlwind, it just doesn't hit enough for the end drain it has.

[SeraphimKensai]

I have a proc'd whirlwind on 2 toons a lvl 50 tw/elec scrapper and a lvl 50 fire/mental blaster and whirlwind is amazing with procs.

 

I've received tells like omg I've never thought to proc whirlwind out before and also omg I need a dramazine as I'm about to hurl.

 

The end usage is crazy but it's a fun effect.

[Bill Z Bubba]

Thanks to this thread... I now have a character with whirlwind. +recharge proc slotted. Will look at other procs soon. She also uses shadow maul and flurry. Actually, now that I ponder it, since flurry can't crit perhaps I should remake her as a brute.

Finally, someone who gets it. Ya gotta have more whirlwind.

 

Brutes can actually make good use of whirlwind with the right build. The extra recharge from the FF proc is always welcome. You just need a way to deal with the endurance cost. Just never try to use Repel from kinetics in combination with Whirlwind, not even RA can keep up with the endurance costs.....I really really wanted it to work...

[Bionic_Flea]

I don't know about Brutes, but a perma-dom, perma-whirlwind is a thing of beauty.
