Better off with ss/wp if you going on the cheap imo...
I have a Stone/FA and if I'd known ahead of time how much it would cost me to slot it out so that I could actually maintain my green and blue bars while smashing large packs, I would have just rolled up Stone/WP. Possibly Stone/Invuln, but not /FA. The weaknesses to the set make it necessary to spend tons to fill the gaps.
You need the KB singles and a LOT of recovery or a LOT of recharge for consume. Factor in that that's just the money I spend w/o having a rage crash to factor in.

I can't comment directly on brutes, but I didn't require more than about 50 million to make my Fire/SS tanker quite strong. I focused on Smashing/Lethal defense, and it worked well. Obliteration and Kinetic Combat are pretty expensive, though.
For endurance I just slotted some end reduction into my attacks and shields and ended up dropping consume. Just make sure you have some blues for emergencies.

That's not a very good conversion rate to be honest. You should be looking to make 20x that much.
typo. i meant per minute
I've been looking through for something to move on after my dm/shield, and ss/fire has me intrigued. The only question is-is there such a thing as a doable build that doesn't involve completely swarming yourself with purples? I'd like to get to a build with it that would allow me to get to that point. Or I could just farm it with my dm/shield.
So are there any good temporary SS/fire builds?
