BeornOTNS Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 So, for farming Brutes, I reckon that the Banished Pantheon Radial Superior Ally seems best, in that you have a Defiler that, while having no offensive capabilities, it cannot be touched and does a crap ton of defensive abilities. But, for Brutes that are DPS or tanks in things like Incarnate Trials and/or other Content, which ones do you suggest? I never really got into this way back in the day. Thank you in advance, ~Beorn I love ALL Archetypes, but prefer to play them Blue-Side.
marcussmythe Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 For my Spines Brute, I went Cimmerorans for their heavy single-target DPS - because the biggest struggle for my spiney is with single super-hard targets. Ive been curious about using the Seers to get a Fortitude buff (I dont know the VALUE of the Fortitude Buff the seer casts - but its confirmed she will cast it on you - and if its Defender Fortitude, well, Katie-Bar-The-Door... 15% DEF to all types and positions, 31.25% Dam, 18.75% To-Hit, at least per Pines... jesus) Great Justice - Invuln/Energy Melee Tank Ann Atomic - Radiation/Super Strength Tank Elecutrix - Electric Blast/Super Reflexes Sentinel Ramayael - Titan Weapons/Bio Scrapper C'len - Spines/Bio Brute
BeornOTNS Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 Dude! Seriously?!? That would be awesome! My favorite Brutes for end game content are XXX/Electric and Psionic and especially Toxic are their Achilles Heel. Having an all-around defense that would help to curtail those nasty damage types would be great! I am going to look at this right now! ~B I love ALL Archetypes, but prefer to play them Blue-Side.
BeornOTNS Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 Okay! SO, Imagine if you will, 2 Brutes running ALL OVER Paragon City. ONE: A Spines/Fire Brute with all the damage Incarnate powers, except for the Banished Pantheon untouchable, wreaking havoc and a near endless supply of endurance. TWO: A Radiation/Electric Brute with Defensive/Resist Incarnate powers, and the Seer untouchable, ALSO with an inexhaustible endurance pool. FOUR TYPES of constant PBAoE DOTS (spines/fire/radiation/electricity)!!! These two running around just seem to obliterate! I almost never have to use insps, and neither does my buddy. Thank you again for the advice! I love ALL Archetypes, but prefer to play them Blue-Side.
marcussmythe Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 So - you have taken and used the seer since my last post? I am a confuse. *boggle* If you do have her and are using her, could you double-check the numbers your getting off her buff for me and let me know?

I have LOTS of Alts and as such I can kind of pick and choose as I go, but tossing 60 Incarnate Threads from a new 50 is no small cost. Let me go and see...

I figured test server once I thought about it - more impressed if its on live. Im still working on incarnates and IOs for my only 50.

Nic Mercy Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Don't the non-invulnerable Lore pets just get demolished in seconds in a +4/x8 farm mission? I would think that the untouchable buff pets would be the more useful for farming +4/x8's since they can last their entire duration and buff you thus speeding up your farming in a more meaningful way. For example, the Carnival Radial Super Ally summons forth a Dark Ring Mistress who fights (and likely dies very fast) and an untouchable Seneschal that has Cauterize and Forge from Thermal Radiation to buff your damage and to-hit as well as healing you if necessary.

marcussmythe Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 I summon my pets and lay down a Barrier Invocation. They live just fine that way. :) Great Justice - Invuln/Energy Melee Tank Ann Atomic - Radiation/Super Strength Tank Elecutrix - Electric Blast/Super Reflexes Sentinel Ramayael - Titan Weapons/Bio Scrapper C'len - Spines/Bio Brute
knighthawk515 Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 I went with the Cimerorans for the DPS as I read in another post, which I can't find at the moment, that they had the best damage output. The post was very good with a tested chart of each Lore type and its abilities. I can attest that on a +4/8 farm, they die pretty quickly. Even on a TF such as ITF, they don't last long in the AV fight either. Rather disappointing as that's about the only time I could use the extra DPS. I might have to try one of the other types that have untouchable characteristics to at least get some benefit out of them.
