I't take the slots out of Boxing, and put them in Tough and Weave. In a build like that, it's just there to add to Fury, so the basic slot for Accuracy is fine.

"The tip of a shoelace is called an aglet, its true purpose is sinister." The Question
I want to say that I am happy with seeing a WP post in which the OP isn't complaining about the survivability of the set. It's like a breath of fresh air. Also, I want to say that your current plan is fairly solid, but I will tell you what I would do differently.
Tough and Weave could use 1-2 more slots. RttC can lose the to hit debuff. I'd drop Hover and look for a way to add Chain Induction. I'd skip Mu Lightening, and go with Electric Fences + Ball Lightening. For the most part I think you are on the right track. Good luck!

Excellent suggestions ..
Tough and weave can take the slots from Boxing
Skipping Hover gives you the power slot to take Chain Induction, but you'll need slots for it, so would have to take it a bit earlier.. Hard to see where you would shave them from to slot it. You could sacrifice a few from Electifying Fences. Does it do all that much damage, or enough to really matter? And does slotting once for ENd Mod really do anything for you? I would think that 1 ACC and 1 Immob wqould be fine for it, since it's main purpose is just to keep things in one spot. Two could come from the To-Hit Debuff in Rise to the Challenge..
I run my Elec/WP Brute with no End reduction in toggles or attacks right now. Once you get the handle on your End usage, you could consider it. However, I do have some Inventions slotted that help out with that (Perf Shifter: Chance for +END in Quick Recov and Stamina).

Is there much of a difference between Brute WP and Scrapper WP? ( never played the Brute version ). My Scrapper survives +5 dificulty just fine with WP, I know Longbow sort of suck against regen types but with Tough and Weave you should have at lease 50% resist and 25% + Def with basic IO sets.
Out of curiosity, why charged brawl? In my ele/inv I basically replaced charged brawl with Boxing. Skipped the power, took havoc punch + boxing + chain induction + thunder strike + lightning rod and am debating fances/lighting + ball lightning.

The Brute version is identical to the Scrapper version. Brutes enjoy higher base hit points, a higher hit point cap, and higher resistance caps. CoV does have a lot more debuffs from level 1 to 50 though. So sometimes we see posts about survival problems with WP, but I'm thinking it's more a lack of understanding the foes causing the issues than it is poor builds (though they do happen. but WP is hard to mess up).
Exactly the type of feedback i was hoping for, thank you all! I will modify the build by reducing the slots in Boxing and RttC and increasing them in Tough and Weave.
SMASH!

I don't have the numbers in front of me, but as far as I can tell it's moe personal preference. Charged Brawl has 2 kinds of damage, plus it's a fast recharging attack I can use to build Fury. Plus, it's another attack I can slip a Call of the Sandman: Chance for self heal proc in ;-)
In my build, I take Boxing or kick, and then never use them anyway. They don't even stay in the tray, normally. I certainly won't slot them. Your mileage may vary, but to me, a Primary or Secondary power is superior to a 1st tier pool power.

im thinking my end attack chain will look something like
charged brawl, chain induction, charged brawl, mu lightning, charged brawl, boxing.
dunno though might use havoc instead of boxing for the secondaries.

Ah. The reason I skip charged brawl is I have other powers I want, and Boxing is an acceptable tool for leveling and opens up tough/weave.
It's just going to have 1 Accuracy and the Call of the Sandman: Chance for self heal proc in it anyway. Saves me all the slots I'd need to use make Boxing Worthwhile.
None of the Patron powers really WOW me (I like the looks of the MU Mastery stuff though), so I don't mind losing the one power selectio, if it gets me Tough and Weave.

I love this build so far (currently Level 36). ZERO downtime for my brute means I can get fury high and SMASH! SMASH! SMASH! With nothing but plain SO's big groups of orange con minions and Lt.'s = keep em comin, red con elite boss = no problem, purple con boss = bring em' on. Is there anywhere I can improve the build in the run to 50? I was concerned about the slotting of Tough and Weave. Thanks in advance.

I'm curious, with or without inspirations?
I am assuming without. My Elec/WP Brute is only 30 ATM and I have little trouble taking on anything without inspirations... Dunno about that purple con boss though. I know I've taken them on a few times without problems but if there's more than 1 minion or Lt around I need to pop a luck or two.

Yep, I just find my fury better maintained by a crowd of angry romans trying to hit me! 
I don't solo much.

I always had trouble against 2 bosses at the same time and against elite bosses. What you did is nothing to brag about, sorry. and anyone can do anything using inspirations.
now, if you can take the alpha strike of 8-man teams at high difficulty or fight elite bosses and all this without inspirations on a /WP, that would be something.
Well, if I had taken air superiority before, I've had much less trouble to be frank.
i take purple con EBs solo without insps.
but i must admit ele is better for groups. (although the target caps on CI and the narrow cone on jacob's make it less good for that than i think it should be.)
