Ahh Thugs/Traps.  My first 50.  It is so much fun to play.  If only I kept my final build before shutdown.  I have tried to recreate the wheel and fit in a few new things that have been added.  One thing about this build is Heal Other.  I put it in because leveling you will need it to keep things alive due to a lucky shot or your Arsonist wants to be a brute.  But once you get to 50 and start Slotting FFG and maneuvers you and your pets DEF should be soft capped and you can switch it with something else.

Also another trick is to summon your Thugs and Enforcers give them Equip Thugs, THEN summon your bruiser and now give out the final Upgrade.  This is because Equip gives your bruiser Hurl.  Which can bug out the AI and have him stay at range and only use that skill.  So either you are constantly re-positioning him to melee, or skip it and he is fine.

 

Taking Leadership skills gives all your pets Triple buffs (one for each Enforcer and then your buffs).  I would keep the -res proc in Enforcers and maybe switch the Build Up proc to something else (+tohit or +Def).

 

If you are careful and plan accordingly you can take out AV's with this build solo.  But it is also very fun just letting everyone cut loose on a bunch of mobs as well.

ideal /traps builds have first aid, aid other, field medic and maneuvers and tactics from leadership (the tohit buff helps your tier 1 and 2 pets with moderate to high defense mobs). hasten is optional after a certain amount of global recharge. travel power is optional, but team teleport really helps keep you and your pets under the ffg. provoke is also nice.

 

start there.

Hurl is now under Upgrade Equipment, along with his highest dmg power - knockout blow, so you can't really avoid putting it on the bruiser.

 

Well, you learn something new everyday.  Thanks for the update!

 

even if it wasn't there, you would have to dismiss and resummon your bruiser everytime you replaced your ffg or zoned. casting ffg makes the pets recast their upgrades on themselves and since they are aoe, the bruiser will get both.

 

this change was a hefty dps loss for the bruiser, but a huge net gain for the at overall.
