I have been trying to use this kite since I first arrived at the Temple. I finally cracked it!

A team we were hunting decided to use their Dacia as cover. You can ram into a flipped vehicle and the physics in the game allows for the vehicle to be pushed. Their own Dacia killed them.

Started the game with a bridge blockade. Eventually we made it back to the military base that ended with Mike securing the chicken dinner from a sweet Kar98k silenced head shot.

NG+ playthrough, Demon of Hatred kill. GNARLY FIGHT. Sculptor idol shown at the end w/ playthrough number and VIT/ATK screen.
On my first playthrough (NG), I went through BLIND and unknowingly chose the SHURA ending. This locks you out of Fountainhead palace, and Ashina City when it is on fire (3rd transformation).
This is the first playthrough I have fought the Demon of Hatred (NG+).
It took me a few tries in phase 3 to figure out that you can double jump off his head in the 3rd phase, when he starts freaking out. The fire shield really helps out as well for his air slam (suzaku's lotus umbrella). And make sure to run into his left arm pit (the fire arm). For some reason, when you have him targeted, running in this pocket avoided the most damage.

GNARLY GROUP TWO. A full 45 minute gameplay video, complete with leveling up, costume check, and DEATHS (note: in this game, your hero cannot die. they are knocked down, which can be revived or you can return to the hospital). This group was doing level 33 +3 DOOR missions with SMOOTH servers, and tough MOB variations. Field Analyst (Founders Falls) 6:30. Leveling up 6:39. Bank mission 11:29. Start of CRAZY mission 15:18. Death one 22:12. Death two 24:02. Death three 29:32. Death four 36:28. Final mission completed 44:54. (update: web archive for OLD build guides listed below)
The last mission was rough, mainly due to the MOB type and level setting. No hand-holding in this game. There were multiple psionic and electricity mobs, along with hard CC going around. Our group composition was getting countered pretty well at times. Also, the brute tends to ride into the DANGER zone quite often, so strap in.
I start the video at level 32, and end the video at level 33.
I am still tweaking the build, and will continue to modify it as I level to 50. The goal is to have a versatile build that will do well in both PVE and PVP.
BUILD: Super Strength/Invulnerability, Super Jump (for Combat Jumping), Hasten, Aid Self. (Will post build pictures at level 50)
The Brute can play the role of off tank, or main tank, while still providing competitive DPS. Because of the FURY mechanic, your damage will be scaling higher as you not only take damage, but also deal damage (this is the other meter below the endurance bar - you will see it increase as combat goes on).

THE TYRANT MINE (GM1 STRONGHOLD): A full 25 minute no death run. This includes loading screens, final boss, and disenchanting loot at the end. Build is listed below.
NO CONSUMABLES USED (UNBUFFED)
Solo queuing pick up groups with my (494) masterwork ranger. The ranger offers a dynamic tool kit, and is incredibly fun to play.
I still have a few tweaks to the build that I need to make, to further optimize it. Right now it can handle GM2, and I frequently run legendary contracts on GM2 with a friend.
I plan to further push the build into GM3.

-build requirements-
venom darts, sticky grenade, siege breaker (offhand sniper), tip of the spear, cooldown reduction
-quick overview-
most of the damage comes from combo + blast increase (nade), and cooldown reduction. the constant venom darts will ensure that you take the combo on detonation. you can usually fire one right before the grenade detonates. acid debuff also provides a group damage increase on the targets.
spam nades and darts, pretty simple! use your gun to help with shielded enemies. successful combo heals you for 40% hp (unlimited range) and will heal/rez the group members AOE around your javelin (tip of the spear MW mod). use siege breaker to freeze big elites, save ammo for only 3 shot freezes. main gun can by anything (flex spot). i chose thunderbolt of yvenia for the extra damage to shields (lightning proc).

This was the earlier part of the squad Chicken Dinner #2 video. We had a number of great engagements from the dump truck on the bridge. In this encounter, the jeep exploded and flew up in the air a LOT higher than usual. Made for a great show. Michael Bay.

I came across this guy right at the start of the game, and got my face ripped clean off.
After a while I wandered over to the training dummy, and noticed the option for the thrust practice. It was also a different button than what I had thought it would be (press b). I went back and beat Enshin first try, upon learning the right button combination.
