Earth/Rad Brute build advice

[LonePhantom777]

So, I've got an Earth Melee / Radiation Armor Brute that I just got to 50. Does anyone have any MIDs builds or advice for what powers to take for that ideal mix of quasi-tank and ass-kickery?

[PainX]

only real things you can skip imo are stone fist, fault, hurl boulder, and maybe meltdown+taunt depends abit on power slots available looking to build the same combo atm synergy should be quite good with the set combo

Here's a build to look at, so you have somewhere to start. This is a "pure" build that doesn't take epic pools and relies on p2w travel.  You could drop Stone Fist and Vengeance to instead take Elec Fences/Ball Lightning from Mu Mastery or Gloom and Dark Obliteration from Soul Mastery if you really want to.  You could also get by without Combat Jumping if you really wanted another power pick.  Doing this loses some global recharge, and the point of most of the build is in recharging Radiation's click powers and using them whenever possible, so that's something to consider.  There is room to move stuff around though if you want.  Whenever you pop Meltdown you're essentially invincible, I personally use it more as a damage buff in rotation (I use it almost every time it's up) but it does come in handy for defensive purposes sometimes.  This is not the only way to build, but it is strong defensively when rotating the click powers.  Incarnate needs: Musculature Alpha (Damage), Ageless Destiny (Debuff Resist for stuff like ITF, alternatively could use Barrier).

 

Sometimes it's useful to have some unslotters and Sudden KB to KD's in inventory for long engagements with KB weak enemies (clockwork) so that you don't scatter everything all over with AoE's.
