New Brute Powers

I know this question has been asked on several of the other archetypes, but what new power sets would you like to see specifically for brutes? I know that I'd like to see them bring over the axe melee and the ice sets from the tanker abilities. I'd lover to be able to have a viking brute with a big axe and an icey defence.

Nature. Just to control like trees and stuff. Like you could turn into the strongest wood or wrap yourself in vines. And you could use splinters and huge chunks of wood for attacks.

RE: New Brute Powers

Now I know this has been mentioned before, and it was even part of a list that they asked us to vote on awhile back, but how about a growth brute? You could go all Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on people.

RE: New Brute Powers

A growth one could be quite fun. As for the nature one, I'd actually been thinking of something along those lines myself and was making up a primary and secondary power set inspired from the plant/thorn dominators.

Pinnacle
Shadomancer - lvl 40 dark/dark cor
Krimson Krush - Lvl 50 SS/Inv brute
Ice Angel- - Lvl 35 Ice/Nrg blaster
Protector
Blackberry- - lvl 40 plant/thorn dom
Pheobe Nix - Lvl 35 fire/fire brute
Boojum- - Lvl 35 crab soldier
Ebon Widow- - Lvl 26 widow
Neo Slash - Lvl 39 BS/regen scrapper
Guardian
Dark Rumour - lvl 37 DM/SR stalker

Now I *believe* they used to have ice and ice for brutes, but they noticed it works AGAINST building up fury. as a brute you want stuff to be hitting you, and ice's slows stopped fury from building effectively so they removed it from the CoV side. I thought i read this somewhere, but of course I could be wrong

Virtue:
*Titan of Granite: lvl 50 Tanker*
*Neo Nebula: lvl 50 Controller*
*Cilux: lvl 50 Scrapper*
Astraeus': lvl 42 Scrapper
Griffan: lvl 45 Defender
Justice:
*Xenokrates: lvl 50 Brute*
*Kuramaru: lvl 50 MM*
Wolf Fury: lvl 40 Brute
Bullitz Krieg: lvl 44 MM
Towering Shadow: lvl 38 Bane Soldier
D'jango: lvl 28 Night Widow
Guardian:
*Titaness of Fire: lvl 50 Tank*
Shikimori: lvl 44 Controller
Gun-Power: lvl 29 Blaster

RE: New Brute Powers

Radiation/Radiation you can debuff and do melee damage.You would be the most hated in PvP and most loved in PvE.

I know what you mean! I love the melee rad powers than Shivans have and considering how well radiation defenders can tank already it would work really well! But actually what I'm thinking of is a radiation epic for defenders with radiation melee attacks, isn't it? Oh well.

RE: New Brute Powers

A dual hand barbarian broadsword set could be really interesting and fun to play with. The only thing is that as soon as you introduced that set you'd have tons of Conan and He Man inspired characters running around.

RE: New Brute Powers

I came up with what could be some interesting sets for a plant based brute.

Thorny melee

Lvl 1- Thorny punch- Thorns grow from your knuckles and you punch foe. Minor lethal and toxic damage and recharges very fast.

Lvl 1- Skewer. Same power from the dominator thorns secondary.

Lvl 2- Thorn slasher- Backhand enemy with thorns on the back of your arm. Deals Toxic DOT.

Lvl 6- Build Up

Lvl 8- Thorn Burst. Same power from dominators secondary. Thorns explode from you and do damage to all foes in melee range.

Lvl 12- Taunt

Lvl 18- Vine Grasp. Touch a foe and wrap them in vines as a single target melee hold.

Lvl 26- Ripper. Same power from dominators thorn secondary.

Lvl 32- Briar patch- Touch the ground and a bunch of thorny vines burst up from the ground in a short range cone. This causes all foes caught inside to be immobilized and deals them DOT.

Plant Armor

Lvl 1- Bark skin- Provides automatic damage resistance for lethal, smashing and toxic damage.

Lvl 2- Ironwood armor- Toggle damage resistance for lethal and smashing damage.

Lvl 4- Regrowth- Same healing power as dull pain.

Lvl 10- Thorny skin- Thorns grow from your body and deal toxic DOT to all foes in melee range and causes foes to get –def.

Lvl 16- Iron Roots- Auto protection from knockback, TP foe, immobilize and stun.

Lvl 20- Willowy mind- Provides toggle defence to psychic damage, sleep, confuse, disorient, and endurance drain.

Lvl 28- Protective growth- Auto damage resistance to energy, dark energy and cold damage.

Lvl 35- Undergrowth- A click power that causes an AOE aura around you that lasts one minute. During this time, vines grow up around you similar to a smaller and weaker carrion creepers. These cause knockdown, slow and minor DOT to all foes caught within.

Lvl 38- Hibernate- A variation on the hibernate power from the ice tanks. Vines grow around you and protect you from all damage while you regenerate.

RE: New Brute Powers

To go along with a war hammer or barbarian sword primary, a metal armor secondary would be great.

Lvl 1- Armor Shell- Your body becomes covered with a metal coating which gives you lethal and smashing defense.

Lvl 2- Iron Skin- Auto damage resistance to lethal and smashing.

Lvl 4- Body Work- Same as Dull Pain.

Lvl 10- Shards- Sharp metal shards project from your body causing harm to all foes within melee range.

Lvl 16- Steel Skin- Auto protection to knockback, stun and fire.

Lvl 20- Iron Will - Toggle defense from psychic, confuse and endurance drain

Lvl 28- Chrome Skin- Auto damage resistance to energy and dark energy.

Lvl 35- Titanium Shell- Click. For short time, all damage resistance, rate of healing and rate of end recover increase.

Lvl 38- Adamantium Armor- Toggle high defense to all damage but causes movement speed to be reduced and has very high endurance cost.

You expertly flick your Nunchaku hitting your enemy in the neck, dealing some smashing amage, with a very small chance of disorienting your foe.

You bash your enemy dealing smashing and leathal damage with a heavy War Hammer. This attack is difficult to execute accurately, but will often stun your opponent and lower their defences.

You leathally wound your enemy with an aimed shot to the heart. This attack take some time to execute and can be interrupted, but is great for sniping an opponent.
Damage: Moderate Recharge: Long

Focus Chi - You know the story here

Lacerate - Weapon - Vigoorian Flails

You lacerate all enemies in Melee Range dealing leathal damage and slowing your oppopents, as you spin your weapons at a blinding rate. This attack enables you to fend of multiple enemies for a few seconds, and is especially useful if being overwhelmed.

Assailant's Tap - Weapon - True Dragon Sword

You impale a single enemy with a lunging attack, absorbing some of their Hit Points and transferring it to your self. This attack requires great concentration, and perfect timing to execute, and deals some leathal damage.

You focus your strength and strike your opponent with a thunderous blow, inflicting massive leathal damage, and knocking the wind out of them. This attack requires a unparallelled execution and leaves you slightly drained of endurance after it is executed.

Note: I found these in an Earlier post from the Hero side

RE: New Brute Powers

A few weapons based sets would definitely be great for a brute and I especially like the idea of a big two-handed barbarian broadsword set.

Lvl 1- Slash- A fast slash of the sword that does minor to moderate damage.

Lvl 1- Lunge- Impale foe with your sword. Moderate damage and moderate recharge.

Lvl 2- Cleave- Swing sword down in an overhead attack. Moderate damage with a chance at critical hit.

Lvl 6- Build Up

Lvl 8- Power Slash- A powerful slash of the sword that does moderate to high damage in a cone. Each hit has a chance to be critical.

Lvl 12- Taunt

Lvl 18- Lash Out- Bring sword down to the ground and send a wave of lethal force along the ground in a moderate distance narrow cone attack that does heavy damage and knockback to all foes hit.

Lvl 26- Divine Fury- Hold sword over your head and it gets struck by lightning. Lightning then shoots to all foes in an AOE around you stunning them and dealing moderate damage. Some endurance is returned to you for every foe hit. Very slow recharge.

Lvl 32- Berzerke Rage- Slash sword around you in a circle, dealing superior damage to all foes in an AOE a little further than melee. This attack causes knockback and has a chance for critical hits.

I also had an idea for a new defense that is part healing and part willpower, though I haven't thought of names for all the powers. It might work better for a stalker than a brute though.

Lvl 1- Auto damage resistance to lethal and smashing.

Lvl 2- Toggle that increases hitpoints, rate of healing and provides damage resistance to toxic.

Lvl 4- Reconstruction from the healing set.

Lvl 10- Click power that increases rate of healing, rate of endurance regeneration and decreases debt taken by dying by 20%. This lasts for several minutes.

Lvl 16- Auto power that increases perception, healing rate and provides 10% debt protection

Lvl 20- Meditating Aura- Toggle resistance to psycic damage and protection from endurance drain, immobilize, sleep and disorient

Lvl 28- Elemental Aura- Toggle resistance to fire, cold, energy and negative energy damage.

Lvl 35- Retribution- Click power that for the next minute you only take %50 of the debt when you die, and upon your death, you release an explosion that does heavy damage to all foes in melee range.

Lvl 38- Resurection- Click power that ressurects you, leaving you phase shifted for 15 seconds afterwards, and gives you 100% debt protection for two minutes.
