Brute - Shield/SS/Fire Epic: Soft Cap: Melee, Range, AOE.

[Golden Azrael]

On live I had a Shield, SS, Fire epic brute.  Soft capped on Melee, Range, AOE.

 

It was a beautifully elegant build that cost me 1 billion influence!

 

I can't remember the build ofc.  But I remember using only 2 or 3 of my selected attacks until I got Foot stomp and then Shield Charge (joy!)

 

Any body got any suggestions to how to get that build back?  Currently L40.  I can dish it...but I can' take it versus Crey on +0 x4.  Council?  Less of a problem.  There's no way of regenerating the health and the end is still heavy despite 3 end red KO punch AND Foot stomp.  It's really locked down with end reds.  So now my bar doesn't empty after one attack.  It just empties to half way... 😉

 

In the original I didn't take Jab and grant cover so I can jettison those missteps and maybe I don't handclap either (bit of an end hog?)  (Need Manoeuvres and Cj as well as Taunt...and I need to fit flight in there with the - Winter slow res'.)

 

I recall I had the Stamina Alpha to offset the double hasten and rage end drop which was annoying.  Though I'm thinking now that maybe Agility might have been better for it?

 

You get the three AoE powers.  Footstomp.  Shield Charge and Fire Ball.  Which means Council mobs tend to vaporise quite quickly at +2 x 8.

 

Suggestions?  Builds?  Thoughts?

 

Azrael.

I remember emptying the pockets of all my other alts on live to help pay for it and I was still only half way to the cost of it!

 

Fond times.

Azrael.

[Golden Azrael]

As an aside.  I wonder how a Shield Tank version of this would compare.  Defensively more sound before IO sets?  But not as monster on AoE as Fury?
