Steyrharquebus Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Hi all, in honour of yesterday's wonderful news, I decided to roll a new character and my first Brute! I've been following @Hyperstrike's build found in this thread, but it seems like an endgame build that one might respec into after reaching level 50. Would anyone be able to kind provide a build I could follow whilst levelling from 1-50 please? I've never played a Brute before and would really appreciate a guide I can follow so I can focus on stomping stuff! Thanks so much 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you're looking for in the interim isn't so much a BUILD as a STRATEGY. (I had a friend who didn't understand this and tried to level an end-game build up from L1. All I can say is: Resist Armors: 2 Resists, 1 EndRedux (The Resist Physical Damage/Resist Elements/Resist Energy are no-Endurance auto powers, so just go 2x Resist Defense Armors: 2 Defense, 1 EndRedux Attacks: 2 Acc, 2 Damage, 1 Recharge, 1 End Redux Work on your Accoldaes. Atlas Medallion, Freedom Phalanx Reserve/Born In Battle/Marshall. The ones that bump your End. Then work after the +Health ones. Keep an eye out for the +Defense/+Resist uniques for cheap. This'll actually leave you with a build with lots of slack space in it. ESPECIALLY at higher levels. Use the slack space for Health and Recharge Stick with SOs until your 30's. They may SEEM like a huge investment. But stick with taking the SOs are the highest available level, then just keep it there until you're about to out-level it, THEN UPGRADE! In the long run, it'll be less expensive. Once you are able to load L35 IOs, go ahead. And as you level up, just fill new slots with new, highest available level IOs. Once you start pushing into the 45-50 range, start prepping for the final respec. 4 If you want to be godlike, pick anything. If you want to be GOD, pick a TANK!

I've done exactly as your friend did and followed that end-game build from L1. The biggest hurdle I'm facing so far is my lack of attacks, With regards to which powers to choose and when to choose them, do you have any advice? No worries if not, I'm already very grateful for your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries if not, I'm already very grateful for your input! Like I said, this isn't some hard-coded recipe or anything. And you've already figured out how to work within the build system to achieve workable results. Kudos. 1 If you want to be godlike, pick anything. If you want to be GOD, pick a TANK!

luxlorica Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) @Hyperstrike didn't you have a warehouse of builds at one point? I seem to remember seeing a whole list of them. Edited January 22 by luxlorica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking for general "tough" builds to start with? Start here. You can tweak it later. If you want to be godlike, pick anything. If you want to be GOD, pick a TANK!
