    Thanks very much for taking the time to work on the build. Greatly appreciated. I'll let you know how it works out when I am done!

    NP at all. I am just glad I got a response!

    The main question I have is why do you grab Taunt so late in the build? I play tanks in WoW and couldn't imagine going without it for so long.

    2. Put the Steadfast +3% def IO in RPD. This frees up TI and gives more slotting options.

    3. I think you've over slotted Unstoppable. I can see 3 slots of Res/Rech.

    4. Tough is going to need some Endurance Reduction if you run it constantly.

    5. Think about the +End Proc from Performance Shifter for Stamina. Either replace one End Mod IO or add a 4th slot.

    Lastly, here is a build I would start with and if I have time later I'll post a fully IO build.

    Thanks for the fast response! I am looking over your build now and trying to predict how you're going to slot it.

    POST-ACTION

    I guess it would be better for me to post a build and then have it criticized. Things to note: I don't really know my way around IOs quite yet (I haven't played in about 4 years or so), so I just kind of plugged them in there based on some other posts and random chance. Also, I don't know if I should have Tough/Weave in there or if I should pick up Mu Mastery or goodies from Presence pool. So here goes:

    Fire/Invul Brute

    POST-ACTION

    So, I have been trying to do a bunch of research on a Fire/Invul Brute, but all the posts I can find for it are either outdated or broken links. Does anyone have advice on how to build it? Basically I am looking for both a rich man's and a poor man's build. Also, any tips/tricks the vets out there may have for it. Thanks in advance.
