Spines/Bio Armor Brute Help

[Pyrotechnical_Mathematics]

Can somebody smarter and more experienced than me show me a Pines build for this brute?

[marcussmythe]

Bio is hard to build for in Pines, as it doesnt seem to calculate the bonuses for offensive/efficient/defensive adaptation.  Ive fumbled a build, but cant get a good one because of it.

 

Leveling Ive focused on feeding Spine Burst, backed up by the accolade Shadow Maul Clone and Leap Attack - went heavy on my secondary other than slotting one attack and spine burst.  Run a lot of -1/x4, and avoid bosses, once Ripper and Throw Spines come in its pretty amazing.  Have to keep an eye on your defensive clickies - like Regen once upon a time, Im generally unharmed or in the hospital.

 

If Pines gets fixed to start reporting all the forms, or if I get this one to 50 and decide to do it by hand, Ill try for a softcap build - offensive stance if possible, otherwise balanced or defensive, whatever it takes.  I will note that Brute  Bio seems to get a lot of mileage out of the efficient stance, as the end and hp income feeds the ‘keep moving’ of a brute, and the brutes low damage base and large fury bonus make the bonus from the offensive stance less valuable than it would be on another AT.

 

Not a build, but I hope it helps.

Here is what I would do endgame.  I basically took my SS/Bio build on the defensive side and put in spines.  Things to note about the numbers.  Pines does not account for the regen or recovery from DNA Siphon.  Since I have its recharge faster than its duration figure in an extra up to 395% regen if you can manage to hit 10 at a time. Not difficult if you are farming large spawns.  Also Pines does not, or is not able to factor the additional regen for Evolving Armor so hard numbers are difficult to figure until it is actually built.  Instead of shooting for soft cap for S/L as that ate up too many slots for what I wanted to do, I went for high regen and high HP along side the decent defense numbers and high damage resist for S/L.  Something like this should make a good all around farmer for pretty much everything and be great in most every TF/Trial.  I went with ball lighting instead of throw spines.  It is slightly lower damage but it is AOE vs cone so more likely to hit more stuff.  You could also put in Electrifying Fences instead of Mu Lightning if you prefer even more AOE.  There is also enough recharge to have your Parasitic Aura up about half the time which throws your regen into godly levels if you hit the cap when you cast it. Although I still have no idea what to put in the last power.  Probably Super Speed
