Introducing THE BRUTE build 2.0. Adjusted to still be strong after patch 3.0.2 which nerfed shirking heals.
shout-out to Spellqq helping theory craft, test and calculate values!
This is one of the strongest and most versatile builds in the game, with absurd survivability and tankiness. Great self sustain with shirking heals and tumblers. While still being able to pump out high damage and good team utility with buffs, debuffs and CC.
This build is a unit on the field where you can make a huge difference in any fight you participate in when played correctly.
In this guide I will show you what gear I use and which attributes I have set up as well as run you through my talent trees and explain to you why I've made the choices I have made.
If you have any questions at all feel free to leave a comment and I will do my best to answer your questions.
Hope you enjoy this absolute beast of a build!

Hi Jiggy, thank you for the awesome build. This was already asked, but I don't think was answered. Is this build viable without pestilence? If yes, what perks would you choose for a regular BB?

Hey, I'm gonna try out this build also, what about the light FS/BB build with Shirking heals? After this nerf are u still gonna use it or just go fire harnessing and ele aversion?

@jiggyspice6809 8 ай бұрын

The FS/BB build still feels the same if im being honest. Not much changed. For ranged players its easy. Melee is tougher in this current meta. Self sustain is gutted to the ground so if you want to play without a healer you are going to have to min/max your survivability and sustain as a melee or close range player.

2 questions - will you still run SH after the next nerf when they change the heal type to self heal and therefore ankh doesn’t work? I’m still far off get ankh as well - so I guess I’ll have to use endless thirst And for pestiliance - if I can’t get it anytime soon, and I use ODO instead - what perks should I get on the BB?

@jiggyspice6809 8 ай бұрын

SH will always be a strong perk and even if they nerf the synergy between ankh and SH it will still be a BiS perk. The only way I will stop running it is if they buff potions back to how they were pre-expansion. Ankh is always going to be bis for group play and mass pvp as well so you definitely do want to go get it. Endless thirst is a decent option though. If you dont want to run pestilence and just run a normal BB I think the bis would be attun, ench, keenly jagged or something along those lines. that would be a pure dps BB

You mentioned you're thinking of running Invigorated as your third perk on armor to counter dots eating away at you. Wouldn't you want to run Vigor? Vigor reduces the duration of Bleeds, Burn, and Poison effects. Whereas Invigorated reduces the duration of Rend, Weaken, Exhaust, and Disease; which aren't dot effects from what I understand.

@jiggyspice6809 8 ай бұрын

I have not tried it. I'm seeing people claim it is bugged and not giving the extra armor or not all of it so I didn't bother with it quite yet. In any case I think it wouldn't be better than tumblers. Another option is michael shield though, Michael is still a great option, especially since dots are such a difficult thing to deal with.

Its working, just buggy UI. And the benefit isnt just the pure armor, its working incredible with fortify buffs. There is an theorycrafter video explaining why. But you can reach absurd defensive stats because of that.

I'm looking for building this set, but with Void Dark Plate Chest and mixing 2 Ele Avers, 2 Shirking Fort, 2 Enchated Ward, 2 Invigorated, 2 Refreshing , 2 Health and Nades on Armor. Do u think is a good combo? For Earring i wanna use something like Fortifying Toast, Regen and maybe one refreshing or Refreshing toast. For amulet just a Named one with Thrust protection and Stamina rec. The ring is the same still with leeching and fire damage. LMK

@jiggyspice6809 7 ай бұрын

That does sound really good! However I want to mention, next patch you can get a free heavy set with illegal perk combo of ele aversion and ench ward. It's going to be reaally good. Then you can just change final perk to shirking fort. For amulet fire protection might still be the better option rather than trust but you gotta make that call. Always protect against what you have much trouble against. On my server bb/FS is more of a problem than vg/bow. And I anticipate most bows next patch will run the elemental bow. Void dark plate is probably still going to be the best option for chest though

@jiggyspice6809 👋 Hey, Yep, it sounds really good and ye I know about this gear, but it's named so u can still gonna have problem with magnify if u wanna 300-150-150. Also are u sure u can add SF perk on them as last one? Normally u can't add a defensive perk when u already have one. Also with this meta should I still go the same perk as u on Flail and maybe add plagued crits?

@StealthBoyElite 8 ай бұрын

I use Michael in a very similar build (I am medium, no SH at all and I focus more on leeching perks with Ankh). It's absolutely viable and disgusting in 3v3 and open world/OPR. I've thought about trying heavy, as that's what I used to run with my old BB/WH build and always felt the 10% medium damage boost wasn't worth losing all the defense for, but the new medium dodge is really nice and I quite like how tanky I am anyway. I am still likely to try a heavy build version of this though, mainly because then I can go 150 con instead of 200 and just go full on 300/150 for str/int and do really nasty damage (current build is 300/65/50/200 or thereabouts). I just find it difficult to give up Michael's dot removal so sticking with that instead of Tumbler and shirking heals.

@Acanis87 8 ай бұрын

Because Health isnt BIS?! Just Meta and expensive, because its such an allrounder stat.

@jiggyspice6809 8 ай бұрын

health is too expensive for me to even want to suggest that to my viewers, it's absolutely not good enough of a perk to be that expensive. and it isn't bis either. The extra healing it would give your shirking heal is less than 200 so it doesn't give value. I have 5x health on my light set and it really doesn't do much.
