I choose katana as primary. What is the best secondary choice for me?

[Eric Kim]

I m a noob and once i tried DM/DA, always my char was taking a rest. Kill - Rest - Kill - Rest - Kill -Rest Rest.. terrible.

 

I really hate end drainage and want sustain. What is the best secondary for me?

[Apparition]

As a newbie, probably Willpower.  It's set it and forget it, and has a decent amount of everything.

I would avoid Regen.  For one, it's only use case in today's game is for raiding Hamidon.  It's also not newbie friendly as it has a lot of click powers and you need to be aware of what they do and who you are fighting.

Definitely Willpower.  Make sure to turn sprint off when doing a lot of fighting.

 

Grab quick recovery at level 20.  After that you should be set on End recovery.

 

Regen can do that at level 4.  But if you want to go that route, go scrapper.  Since scrappers get less aggro on teams. 

 

If this is for solo stuff at +0 / x1 though.  Learning the game stuff.  Regen is fine.

+1 for WP.
Lots of Regen and Resist and Recovery.
Has some Def (not much) and the Aura does -ToHit which helps with the Def (its not much).

Energy Aura is amazing with Katana.  My favorite Brute right now is Kat/EA.

EA is great, yes.  But the end tools come at 28 and 35.

I say if you want an "excuse" to try Regen secondary, katana is the best option. 

 

Many will turn their nose up at less than optimal but if you're trying to play every powerset scrapper has to offer, kat/Regen is solid.

Willpower will be best starter set to get you deep into the game. And it goes well with every scrapper or brute primary.

EA or SR might be good choices.  They both stack with what katana already provides (fast damage and melee def) and are reasonably strong on their own as well.
