My solo passtime of choice has been Eliza Dee<\/strong> (the one on Virtue (Elitists)). She’s doing great, up to 12 already, but …
\n… dammit, I’ve miscalced the power plans. She’s an Energy Aura<\/a> secondary. At 10 I was supposed to take Entropy Shield for status protection, just on principle. But I was beginning to have damage problems, and someone I was playing with pointed out that Dampening Field was, unlike the Kinetic Shield toggle (Defense), an always-on Resist power.
\nWell, I flipped a coin and made the choice, and it was probably the right one, but, dagnabbit, I’ve suddenly entered the world of bad status attacks — whether Aberrent mezzes or varoius gun-toters knocking me on my ass. Since I’m soloing, status attacks are particularly lethal in result.
\nSo at 12, I went ahead and took Entropy Shield. But … well, now I’m in trouble, because I was supposed to have taken Air Superiority instead as the pre-req for Fly at 14. I knew it was going to be a problem, but didn’t have any choice.
\nIn retrospect, I would have taken Air Superiority at 6 rather than Bonesmasher — which is certainly an effective attack, but A\/S would have been sufficient. If only we were getting a freespec in the next week or so …
\nCurrent design plans for Eliza …<\/p>\n

\nThe intent is, if I actually run her, to grow Eliza Dee on Champion in the same course. (I decided to go for the Virtue version with the thought she’d be my “main” on that server, with Mister Thorne being the “main” on Champion.)
\nBrutes are a good solo choice — in retrospect, they’re a lot more like Scrappers than Tanks: heavy hitters but a bit fragile, with Death as a constant friend. The SMASH<\/font> bar rocks, and, if managed well, they are faster progressing solo than Doms\/MMs, and, I suspect, more surivable than Stalkers\/Corrs.
\nAt least they’re fun to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
