I currently have a 42 EM/WP brute for something out of the ordinary. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a stoner and other pwr sets seem to more popular than energy.
Although it's AOE capability is slim to none I like the damage output. I like the WP secondary set combined with tough and weave...improves survivability a great deal.
I have a 50 ele/ele brute and although I like the AOE of elec attacks... the electric armor sucks. I've seen a few /ele brutes in AE farms and they fall quicker than a dom. Shield Defense wasn't out yet when I rolled out the ele/ele. I wish it had been...seems like a interesting combo.
I rarely see any em/? brutes in game or guides in the forums regarding em/wp. I was just wondering if I was the only one that didn't get the "Whatever you do don't make a EM brute!" memo.
If anyone has a link to em/wp guide or tips I would appreciate it.
