SM/EA Brute Build Questions
Okay, cleaned up the build a little more. I removed a lot of the Melee Defense for other bonuses. I also decided to take Fault over Tremor. Tremor just took too long to animate and this toon is more for ST. Fault is actually pretty nice mitigation, though, and I find myself using it a lot.

Finished my Elec/SD and it's time for another Brute. I have been looking at the new buffs to EA and I've never tried SM. Looks like it could be a good combo and I get an end drain. I'm at a loss on what to really build for after soft capping my S/L, though. I'm thinking I could build for more rech or try to soft cap my melee def. Here is a rough build plan and any advice is welcome.
Also, anyone know if EA will ever get a taunt aura?
