I'd like to see brutes boosted a bit in fury damage as having to refresh 2 or 3 toggle powers constantly to boost damage is too much when you are spamming attack chains, watching for crashes in rage, making sure endurance isn't being used to fast etc. Sometimes you just want to solo grind stuff and relax, that is when brutes take the biggest dps hit because the team is providing most of the ST dps while a brute aoe's the swarm surrounding them like a tank but now weaker by comparison apparently. Maybe even a single target DPS boost of some sort for dealing with large hitpoint enemies.

First off... a Brute's AoE potential (yes, even the Epic/Patron AoEs which have a 16 target cap) pales in comparison to Corruptor/Defender/Sentinel/Blaster Nukes.
On teams; Brutes are there to hold the aggro and deal a bit of damage; they're not there to be a major source of AoE damage output.

Secondly: a Brute on Live is currently able to inflict more damage with the same attack to 10 foes than a Tanker to 16; even with comparatively low levels of Fury (see numbers on Axe Cyclone here - at Fury levels of 60+ the Brute wins!). Tankers only wins for AoE if the entire team is being Fulcrum Shifted, and the Brute always wins at ST damage.

Thirdly: If you want ST damage, bring a Scrapper or a Stalker.

At least (unlike the previous poster) you're not claiming that Tankers, VEATs and Controller AoEs can hit an infinite number of targets. And that Brutes = Sentinels.
I know it's Friday, but some people seriously need to lay off the Windowleen... 🤦‍♂️
