Huckster

Okay, so I've been a player for just over three years now. I have played dominators, corruptors, stalkers, blasters and controllers. All squishies.
I've been working on my one and only brute, Emperor Mythos, who is SS/Inv and currently lvl 29.
I don't know if if it's just me, or if I'm still a relatively low level to know better, but...
I don't feel particularly invulnerable. Dull pain has a painfully long recharge and I seem to be popping greens like they're skittles.
Any advice? What powers should I have at 29, and how do I up my survivability?


Thanks

Personally, I don't go anywhere without AA up and running. Yes, I am perma but I don't believe I've encountered the endurance issues some of you have.
In my opinion, AA is a 'huge' mitigation tool.
(my 2 cents anyhoo)
