Infinitum Build Collection

[Retroman]

Apologies if this has already been answered.

 

I'm rolling up a toon to run the Praetorian content (never done the Gold side).  I downloaded Ultra Infinitum from @Infinitum's OP.  UI is a Shield Defense / Electric Melee Tank.

 

Somehow (and please don't ask how I did this), while going through the Character Creator, I clicked 'Brute' instead of 'Tank'.

 

According to MIDs, Tankers have Excellent Defenses and Good Melee while Brutes have Excellent Melee, Good Defenses and Rage.

 

The questions are:

1.  Since UI's build took the first power in each Power Set, can I still just follow the Tanker build for my Brute?
2.  Or is the build compromised in some way?
3.  And if the build is compromised, @Infinitum, would you happen to have a build for an Electric Melee / Shield Defense Brute?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.  👍

Go ahead and build it. It will have better attacks and less defense that's all. Or reroll a new one if u want it to be tougher.

[Dimensional Warrior]

If u want to know the exact difference. Open the build you chose in mids. Then open a new copy and make the same as a brute. Then compare the totals to see the stats. I made a scrapper out of one of his shield def tanks and it kicks ass.

[Without_Pause]

Since a pet is used in both sets, those pets aren't impacted by Fury. It me that's the biggest con for the pairing on a Brute.

I went through this entire thread, didnt see Ice Armor mentioned- is this set more for Resistance? When building survivability are we trying to SoftCap certain Res or Def? I would like to see a Ice Armor/ Energy Melee build  if anyone has one! Always enjoyed the ice theme but all I see are Fire/Rad builds on the servers lately!

 

Thank you!

Ice is actually a defense set, with great inherent cold resists.  We have been having a productive conversation in this thread, in the last day or so:

Here's the Brute build that I came up with based on UI's Shield Defense / Electric Melee Tank:

Any thoughts or critiques on this build?

Why don't the Street Justice builds use combo builders?

Mine for sure does.  When I respec'd to be tankier I had to drop an attack and make use out of the t1 attack.  Turns out moving this fast animating/recharging decent dpa attack into my rotation along with Rib Cracker my combo counts have gone up quite well.  Then I still have Combat Readiness for an instant combo.

Same, but I dropped Shin Breaker, since the Kick animation is the same...  He's pretty tanky, himself:

Yup that's the same attack I dropped.  It was sad to do since its a pretty mean looking animation but I had to narrow it down.  It was either Shin Breaker which I can slot the Achilles proc into but won't fire often due to the fast recharge of the power or Rib Cracker with the consistent -10% resist and -10% dmg.

So slap a FF chance for +recharge in Kick...and have the same (lack of) chance to proc some recharge 😆

Paging @Sovera. I believe he has a build for pretty much every Fire Armor combo on his thread.

Indeed. Just look over the Brunker thread.

I think I just combed through that thread and couldn't find one lol. Could you link to it for me?

Hello all.

 

I wanted to apologize if it seemed like I was ignoring anyone on here.  I had some unfortunate real life issues come up this last year - changing jobs, deaths in the family, sicknesses in my household from October until honestly February - and some days I felt like I could barely keep my head above water, but I am a tanker and made it through it all like all tankers do - annoying the piss out of anything trying to kill you - because you... do... not... die... as a tanker  lol.  I am back now and all is well so far - so again deepest heart of heart apologies if I ignored any requests on here - it was not intentional.

 

Having said that, any future requests I will be more than happy to help - and as I get more time to do this again will update the primary post with a few new builds and changes I have been working on - I missed out on roughly a year of game so I am catching up myself now.

 

Take care everyone, and keep on keepin' on!

Infinitum - Tanker (Invulnerability - Super Strength).mxd ---- My first ever 50 Live and Homecoming.  Really solid

so, i really like this build, but wonder if there's a way to work in a taunt, what could be changed please? find aggro control more my thing than doing damage. so was thinking swap out rage for taunt?

No, i don't think you would want to lose rage.  Its too good even with the trouble it causes sometimes.

 

When i get home from work I will have a look and help taunt find a home for you.

[Random Axis]

I'm interested to see a take on a Rad/Staff tanker. I tried to use the traditional method of taking Rad/- and -/Staff builds to shuffle together, but I'm two slots shy. I can't have all the pool powers in the @Infinitum tanker builds after taking all the primary and secondary ones, and I'm too much of a noob to decide what to dump.

What I would probably do - is swap taunt in the place of either Conserve Power or Focused Accuracy.  Given the issue with Rage crash and potential endurance issues I would probably keep conserve power of the two.  Does that logic seem correct?

Could you post your build? - I am pretty good with Rad (I know there are others better than me at Rad though) - but I have never tried Staff actually so I am sure between me and other critiques of it we can come up with something for you.
