TW/Elec Brute Build examples Help

[Mr.clean161992]

Hello everyone!

 

I have rolled a tw/elec brute and so far I love it. I wanted some example builds, if possible, from experienced players with this build or similar. If you can post it down below that would be awesome. The purpose of this build is a pve monster. Be able to handle all content decently (Avs, GMs, trials etc.) and feel like my damage/pseudo tankiness helps the team somewhat. Thank you!

I spent a lot of time poring over the old Live forum archives before re-making my TW/Elec again here on HC.  The ATO’s will change some of your slotting.

 

I will say, soloing +4/x8 Arachnos Radios in my early 40’s was a royal PITA.  I often would just turn it down in difficulty.  Tons of ranged attacks, many Toxic, and just a bunch of Def Debuffs pretty much took my “Uber” Electric Armor brute and shredded her.  Late game, however, you are pretty much indestructible, and being the Siege/Nightstar puller in iTrials will get you onto leagues quickly.

 

I started with this thread:

I also want to point you to this thread on the old archives, specifically this particular post.  The Achilles heel for an /Electric Armor brute is Toxic and to some extent Psi, and most of these types of attacks are delivered from Range.  It’s pretty easy to softcap /Elec to Melee and Lethal just via normalized slotting techniques, especially once you throw in the buff from Defensive Sweep.  But it’s Ranged attacks delivering defense debuffs (like Toxic/Poison) that will cause cascading failures of your armor and damage mitigation.  Thus why the first link I posted pushed so hard for trying to softcap ranged defense.
