Building for defense works out quite well. Here's some of my stats for my ss/fa brute which only has 2 purple IOs in the build:

    S/L defense: 32.5%
    S/L resistance: 62.8%
    Fire resistance: 90%
    Cold resistance: 51.6%
    Energy resistance: 64.1%
    Negative resistance: 66%
    Toxic resistance: 27.6%
    Psionic resistance: 62.8%

    HP: 1888
    Recharge: +48.8% before Hasten

    Healing Flames (heals for 48% of HP): recharges in 16.2sec without Hasten, 12.6sec when Hasten is up

    Damage output with FE and Burn is just awesome now.

    Apparently I am horrible at making builds for SS/FA in Mid's. Just how exactly are your IOs set in such a way to get that much resistance in anything but Fire, can you post your Mid's build? I can soft cap my S/L defense with 50% resistance but I can't figure out how to get any of the other resistances any where close to your levels. Heck, I just checked my stone brute and you're rocking more energy resist and an epic ton more in psionic resist (though that's stones weakness)
