Psi/ Brute

[ZeusMagnus]

I wanted to make a new brute and wanted to know what pairs well with psi melee?

 

 

ps: When does stone armor become not so squishy?

I have a PSI / Willpower brute and he is awesome!

 

The nice thing about Psi is that it's mechanism of INSIGHT is easy to use and yields awesome results for Greater Psi Blade (GSB your ST NOVA) and your tier 32 AOE is basically 100% knock up the nearest 10 opponents around you and goes off frequently if you have perma-hasten.

 

Basically you only need 4 picks from the primary pool to get all the offense you need leaving you with enough slots to use WP effectively.

 

Now Willpower does need a decent amount of slots to live up to it's capabilities, but you can skip the level 35/38 powers and with the proper sets and slotting, turns your brute into an unstoppable engine of destruction for 2 reasons:

 

1: MOBS and a quick AOE boosts your damage bonus sky high fast => lots of DPS [I cruise around 200%+ damage bonus and have gotten to 650%)

2. MOBS and WP's Rise to the challenge  (RTTC) plus maxing your health and regen leads to insane regen rates (My base is 80/sec and it jumps to 200+ a sec in mobs) together with reasonable DEF (30+) and RESIST to all types of attacks

 

Basically you jump into a mob, fire off your AOE and then laugh as you make out like the hulk beating on the  bosses while reveling in the sea of agents who are not only not hurting you, but powering you up!

 

In many ways WP is the best all round defensive set with the only issue being that you need a decent number of slots to help it reach its potential. PSI only needing 4 offensive powers for a full rotation works exceedingly well with it for this reason.

 

Also in my build I also puts slots in health and stamina and choose the body mastery pool for additional health and stamina leading to a build that has some much END recovery that I can sit in the midst of an electrical draining attack and laugh it off while running 8-10 toggles at once.  Needless to say if you have a WP Brute, you will love the 4 accolades (Atlas, Portal, Freedom and TF) which boost your max HP and END. I have all of them and it makes a big difference.

I wish Psi Melee would have mouth noises when the guy executes those over the top arm waves
