Spines/Dark Brute?

[Kruunch]

So I'm playing around with the idea of making the tankiest Brute I can (hence Dark) while running double damage auras for 75%+ Fury bar (as in the elusive 80-100% Fury bar).

 

Any advice here on achieving that (besides the amazing amount of Endurance management needed)?

this will work on fire farm , good resistances all around expect energy is little low, just slapped together

Mine is 50 and does well in smash lethal. Has end drain resistance too.

My main on live was a Spines/Dark scrapper and was so happy when I could rebuild him in all his glory as a Brute on Homecoming!

[Obus Form]

This is my build on LIVE/HC.  It meets all goals you asked:

- 45.02 S/L defence

- 147.5% global recharge with perma hasten (3-slotted Hasten, but you can 2-slot hasten and +5 the IOs) without using Agility Alpha (uses Musculature)

- 81.2% S/L resist, 44.4% Energy resist, 51.5% Psi resist

- 0 endurance issues at all (Recovery 4.22 running Musculature Alpha and thanks to +regen/+end discount IO slotted into Death Shroud)

- 90-95% fury at all times thanks to Fury Bonus IO slotted in Quills

- You can even +5 the Ripper and Throw Spines attack purples to get extra damage

- A single mob heals you for 59% of your HP, on a 9.3 second CD

- You have 1 power and  1 slot to play with. 1-slot from Hasten can move anywhere, Cloak of Fear or even Taunt (but I think you need taunt sometimes) can be replaced with Rez or something else.

 

Cons:

- 44.4% Energy Resist is not enough to tank AV Pulls in iTrials (so buff up using Barrier first, or eat Orange candy).
