Anyone have a good Spines/Bio build?

[fenix20130]

I've been messing around with a spines/bio brute and am having a lot of fun! I've been trying to figure out a good build and was hoping some people already had a jump start on this! I just got to Homecoming this past week (Woohoo!) so I'm starting fresh! Any help would be appreciated!

Here's mine. But I had much better results with a Savage/Bio Brute. The damage on Spines just isn't there. Good for farming, bad at pretty much everything else. But don't let that stop you from playing one if that's what your heart is set on!

Thank you so much for sending this along! I tried to open it in Mids but it isn't working. Any chance you have another way to open it?

[fenix20130]

Actually, I notice that my Mids doesn't have Spines available on Brutes. Do I need to update it?

Uh... most likely? Brutes most certainly can take Spines.

You might have a bit of a smoother time if you threw in a shield wall somewhere, dropped cross punch for lunge, moved the slots from hover to enviromental and swapped the sets in quills and spine burst over. A touch of death set in lunge you'll have the same def numbers as you have now for the loss of 5% recharge. Stick an ff+rech in ripper instead of the explosive strike and take the 4 piece from barb swipe and swap it with the damage recharge. Rippers accuracy isn't fantastic with just the single acc/dmg piece i see it miss more often than not. Barb swipe not so much and even if it does you'd have it recharged before you can blink.
