So, my Behemoth just reached level 40, but I can't figure out what to spend my last 6 advantage points on. I'm a PvE focused player who never has PvPed and doesn't really intend to. I'm currently built as follows:
Build Clobber
Defensive Combo Crippling Challenge - 3
Mighty Leap Bullrush - 2
Defiance
Roomsweeper
Retaliation R2 - 2 R3 - 2
Demolish R2 - 2 Below the Belt- 2
Aggressor R2 - 2 R3 - 2
Unbreakable R2 - 2 R3 - 2
Uppercut R2 - 2 R3 - 2
Shockwave R2 - 2 R3 - 2 Challenging Strikes - 1
Travel: Superspeed
Flight
Total 30
Available 6
Vague thoughts: -Nailed to the Ground on Mighty Leap, just in case I ever do want to PvP? -R2/3 for Travel Powers? -Super speed damage upgrade? worth it? -Get Onslaught for clobber?

I would take rank 2 of defiance and Roomsweeper.

I would take rank 2 of defiance and Roomsweeper. Rank 2 of defiance is useless. Its just an extra stack that sticks around - but they build up fast anyway. Roomsweeper, imo, isn't that good after level ~25-30. I play on elite. It does not one-hit kill henchmen at full charge at higher levels. This dramatically reduces its utility. I barely use it now.

Roomsweeper is the only source of enrage for a behemoth that's why i mentioned it, as for defiance i can see your point.

getting a rank up on travel couldn't hurt.

Roomsweeper, it might not seem too strong at first, but you do gain up to 8 points of Enrage, Don't forget that Retaliation will add another boost of power, use that for either Roomsweeper or Demolish.
Also, there's nothing wrong with a little more Defiance either.

Flight on a behe?^^" PS: Leg (rumbler?) on shockwave is sooooooooo good:)
Anyway:)
Vague thoughts: -Nailed to the Ground on Mighty Leap, just in case I ever do want to PvP?
You can, but you can Leap>shockwave with rumbler, which doesn't apply freedom, which..is great;P -R2/3 for Travel Powers? Rank 3 acro yes, low energy, quick, and no weakness:) -Super speed damage upgrade? worth it? No -Get Onslaught for clobber? Imo, no, if you tank well, you shouldn't be autoattacking a lot:)

Roomsweeper, it might not seem too strong at first, but you do gain up to 8 points of Enrage, Don't forget that Retaliation will add another boost of power, use that for either Roomsweeper or Demolish. I use retaliation all the time with demolish and uppercut. Retaliation + Roomsweeper still isn't enough to kill elite henchmen at high levels. I'm honestly not sure what the value of enrage stacks is. The in-game manual is next to useless, and the power description doesn't actually tell me what an enrage stack does. And then it becomes a question of whether knocking people away from me for enrage stacks is worth the aggravation of having to chase them all down. Besides, the goals of a behemoth are not to do the most damage, per se. They're to hold the most threat possible. As such, 90% of the attacks i use in team play are shockwave and defensive combo (mob and boss fights respectively), because my job isn't to kill things, its to buy my team time to kill things. The other 10% is a combination of demolish and uppercut, generally on bosses, and mostly demolish for that sweet debuff (Which helps crank the DPS up to 11). Don't get me wrong, roomsweeper was great from when i first got it to level ~25 or so. But its pretty much been replaced at this point. so, the first fight of a map maxes out my defiance stacks which are then full for the rest of that map. The benefits of starting with an extra stack are so marginal at that point as to be totally useless. Even if it were 1 point instead of 2 it wouldn't be worthwhile.
