Guidelines for a Stamina-less DM/FA
Brute
==========================================
Written by Lazarus
Dark Melee/Fire Aura can indeed function without Stamina. It
requires some tricky timing in long battles but it is not hard, very
rarely have I dropped low enough to lose my toggles due to some bad
luck.
For Dark Consumption and Consume I recommend a slotting of 2
Accuracy/3 Recharge/1 Recovery. That makes it accurate enough to very
rarely miss, even on reds and the occasional purple. With 3 Recharges
in each you can stagger the two so that you can refill your endurance
every couple fights or alternate them during a long battle. With the
Endurance Recovery enhancement you should be able to get close to the
same refill on two minions instead of three and a bigger refill off of
lone Archvillains.
Right now it takes three minions to get a full refill. You get
slightly more for LTs and Bosses. Archvillains(Heroes) give quite a bit
more. Remember that Consume has a much wider radius than Dark
Consumption, almost twice as much so use Dark Consumption on closely
packed mobs and try to save Consume for when things are spaced out and
you can't get them closer together.
You would get Consume and Dark Consumption as soon as they become
available. When slotting up try to get a few slots in each before you
get to SOs so you can start slotting them in right away.
The other trick is endurance management. Put a Endurance Reducer in
every toggle and most attacks. Your first level attack has a low enough
cost to not need one and so do some power pool attacks like Boxing and
Air Superiority. Also try to only use what toggles you need. Plasma
Shield and Fire Shield are a given in any battle, but try to only use
toggles like Blazing Aura, Acrobatics, Combat Jumping, and Tough only
when you need them. A lot of those toggles are situational so there is
no need to have them draining your endurance all of the t
