- 3-way splitting out the UF ATO set is a bit odd. It just gives you a 4% Damage bonus, which isn't as great as one thinks for a Brute.

- I also didn't split either ATO set. 

- The Damage IO in Hecatomb is overkill.

- You have some odd stopping points for set bonuses. See Rib Cracker as going back to my first point. You could lose out on 2% Damage and get 16% Regen instead. See Spinning Strike as well.

- You also want to check if bonuses are doing much for you. The 6-slotting of Sweeping Cross is giving you extra F/C Def when you are already decently over the soft cap.

- Once you get Def soft capped, you want to look for Res. I have a Claws/ea which takes one less attack, so it isn't easy to swap in StJ, but my Res stats for S/L/E/N are 75%, 75%, 56.7%, and 44.8%.

Alright, I know what armor to choose for my Broot!

FYI, I need to update the Claws side of the build, but if one were to use a melee set which is able to skip two attacks along with Taunt, see Savage, then it is a quite easy to Swap in the newer melee set. Changes for Claws would be swapping in purples sets as needed. The biggest one would be Focus with adding the Gladiator's Javelin: Chance for Toxic Damage instead of the Damage IO.

Awesome, thanks for the build.

I'm just going to see what the basics of the power choices just to begin with. I'll eventually get to the point of full  basic IO sets (no Purps, Winter-O's, or PvPs)

I think you are giving up too much by not proc'ing out Crushing Uppercut. 3 Hecatombs and 4 procs would double its damage and shave a second off the recharge.

[MageBlack]

What procs would you recommend ?

Hecatomb: D, D/R/A, NE Proc,

ToD: NE proc, 

Unbreakable Cont: Smash proc

Mako's: Lethal proc
