Savage melee brutes

[vibal]

My take on sav/da. Levelling the toon now after throwing in the towel on bio. I wanted to love it, but just.... don't.

 

Haven't played savage so it seemed like a good time to give it a go. The build is low on recharge, but I was able to hit the s/l/m soft caps without sacrificing too much. Normally I'd only grab 5 attacks as more is generally a waste, but the tp power is kinda the icing so it's there. Take a peek and see what you think.

Here's a (expensive) savage/dark brute build to tide you over until you find something else you like better. Softcap S/L defense, good resists, enough recharge and procs in all the right places, endurance efficient.  Built for musculature alpha / Ageless Radial destiny (or barrier if you prefer). This will do great in most content including exemplar if you buy your enhancements attuned from the AH (PVP IO's and purple IO's should not be attuned though so buy them normal, but you can +5 boost some of them if you want). You could switch the Blisterings in Vicious to Hecatombs if you just want more recharge, as melee defense will still be softcapped though you'll lose S/L softcap, and this would also improve the accuracy of a couple powers. If accuracy is a concern (it probably shouldn't be, this is good enough), you can switch Assault for Tactics and put a Cytoskeleton hamidon enhancement in it, or you could switch a slot somewhere for a Kismet +Acc unique.

see what i dont understand, is that every build adds a ton of endurance draining clockies-- specifically

 

tough, weave, maneuvers-- these, coupled with X armor clickies are very endurance intensive.

 

also-- thhese abbriviatoins for ehanhcements are very complex and all but written in cuniform without a translater.

 

I have no clue what enh to look for with those abbreviations at all

Because saving endurance is not less important than staying alive?

1. because people say it's set and forget, when it's not.

 

I can't even begin to understand what damn enhancemts are listed in these builds ase. they aren't spelled out, and should say 

 

you need x. type of enhancemts. as well, not the damn abbrivaiations, which most of can't decipher.

 

even willpower, or bio defence, I fond myself having. to negate defense buffs because I need to less endurance in almost every slot.

 

tough, weave, combat jumping, maneuvers, and all the other generic defense powers are huge endurance hogs.

 

my highest toon, a psychic melee/shield stalker can barely solo a +1 because 1 mob takes most of my endurance.

 

I have ice melee, savage, melee, broadsword with wp, sr, bio electric and I'm always out of endurance.

 

I'm forced  to group all the time

If you got Mids and imported the build, it would be clear. Your other option is to make use of the wiki, and referring to this page: Enhancement Sets - Unofficial Homecoming Wiki

You need this for the builds: https://www.midsreborn.com/

 

For your endurance problems you need A) to slot endurance reduction in your attacks (more than in the toggles), B) slot endurance modification/procs (Panaceia proc, Performance Shifter proc, Miracle Unique), C) Buy as many Recovery Serums from the START vendor as you can.
