First, let me say... I love this build. I love the concept, and the execution in both S/L farms and in the open world are fine. Just fine.

 

But only fine. I am okay at Mids' Reborn. But I am no innovator. I look to better crafters than I am to fashion these things, and was hoping to maintain the overall look, feel, and play of this character, but make her more... more? Resists are pretty good (ecept for Toxic), and melee defense is alright, but only alright. It is very hard to run out of endurance on this brute as slotted. The electric animations make it no Street Justice rotation, but she'll do.

 

I guess what I am saying is, is there a way to optimize this build without removing the essence of the concept (earth-bound daughter of a certain Thunder-and-Lighting Diety)?

 

Thanks! ~Beorn

Posted mine, below.  Sacrificed some damage for significant survivability.  Does more damage than the Elec/Elec tank version, but the tank is sturdier.  No taunt on a brute...personal preference.

 

Other differences:

1.  Charged Brawl - Full set of Touch of Death

2.  Charged Armor - Full set of Aegis

3.  Havoc Punch gets the Superior Brute's Fury (procs alot)

4.  Jacob's Ladder, took it, since I went with Energy Mastery, instead of an offensive Epic, full set of Obliteration

5.  Lightning Field - Full set of Superior Unrelenting Fury (procs alot)

6.  Thunder Strike - Needs a KB to KD, or they go flying.  Didn't bother with FF +rech, since I use Hasten and the proc in Lightning Field and have FF +rech in Lightning Rod.  Cheapo Razzle Dazzle gives End, HP and Melee Def.

7.  Build Up - Full set of Gaussians, for the Melee Def (along with alot of other benes)

8.  Chain Induction - four slots (limited by other choices), so put a cheapo Pounding Slugfest full set (8% Regen and 2% Damage)

9.  Energize - Full set of Preventive Medicine (8.75% recharge)

10.  Lighting Rod - needs KB to KD or they go flying.  Yes, I put a FF +rech in there

11.  Panacea in Health and Power Transfer in Stamina (+HP) means bonus green numbers floating, as well.

 

Incarnates include Ion (for theme), Musculature (for damage), Carnival (for Forge) and Barrier (of course).

 

So I'll say it for everyone else.  Tanky Brute?..."I would have put a whole lot more damage in there"... 😁  Let's just say, he farms the "Just teh Council" S/L Dreck map just fine.

 

With no tricks or Incarnates, you get 43% Melee Def. (no DDR, so can be stripped quickly) and right at 90% S/L resist.  90+ Energy (of course) and 54 Neg/63 F-C/66 Psi. 

 

Just my $.02 infl and take on the theme.
