I had the idea to make a build that specializes in pbaoe and aura damage.

 

What powersets do you think would be best for this?

I was thinking Dark Armor for sure Death Shroud and Cloak of fear and Oppressive Gloom. Those last two aren't damage but they are effects.

 

Maybe radiation Melee? Atom Smasher is a big pbaoe and irradiated ground in another aura damage source.

 

Psionic mastery gives psionic Tornado, but Earth Mastery has Salt Crystals, Quick sand, and Stalagmites

 

What do you think?

[PLVRIZR]

Fiery Melee + Fire Armor + Pyre Mastery.  Blazing Aura, Burn, Combustion, Fire Sword Circle.  Four PBAOE/Aura. 

 

I have a tank version and with Pyre mastery you get Fireball (AOE), Melt Armor (AOE Debuff) and Char, which is a great ST hold and slots Entomb +absorb.  Very thematic, as well.  Surprisingly durable and a complete murderball of fire.

If only brutes got combustion like tanks.  Cremate isn't horrible, but the loss of that AOE hurts sometimes.  I suppose that's why brutes are better at single target over tanks.

 

But yeah... All in on fire is a fantastic combo albeit squishiest of the brutes.

for what you are wanting the best i can think is Titan Weapon / Fire Armor 

 

in Titan Weapon you get 3 cone attacks 1 AOE and 1 PBAOE and with Fire Armor you get 3 PBAOE's 

 

you could also use Electric Melee with 1 Cone and 3 PBAOE's  (Lightening Clap if you proc it out can do damage

For the purposes of lazy play and i specialize in this, rad/bio. Irradiated Ground with Genetic Contamination. Standing in the mob and letting irradiated debuff mob defences makes a big difference to how fast they melt when you can't be bothered clicking any other powers, genetic will just tick away. Bio is like having an extra proc of damage when you run offensive (and who doesn't run it in offensive) Atom Smasher when you can be bothered, more - defence. And some epics, mu mastery is old skool aoe's , ball lighnting and fences. Or you could give the new dark epic a whirl and be super lazy and set tar patch up with a /macro TP "powexec-location self Tar Patch" and just drop it on your self with 1 click and watch the mobs slowly vanish. Not much beats stacked debuffs in this game.

Make sure to add Whirlwind to the build.

Stone Armor is a good candidate, with Spines or Rad Melee, probably. You get Mud Pots, also Brimstone adds dot to click attacks and it's pretty strong, close to Bio's added damage, while being more durable overall.
