Invul works fairly well, my personal favorite is fire. I has good defense, a GREAT heal, and boosts your damage.
Fire/SS or Inv/SS

Now that you mention Electric Armor, how is it for Brutes in PvP nowadays?

Cant believe you just called me that. /reported
nappy's going to work in this thread....gogogo
LoL wasnt tryin to stir anything up with the good people of PvP forums (was teasing about the reportin man). Just expressing my opinions on the Devs messing never ever fixing brutes for PvP. Basically leaving them to rot. Then taking the one build and set Id managed to make work and F it up. Leaving me the option of grinding another toon just in time for them to "fix" things again.

It is seriously not hard to get a brute to 50. Especially with AE. It takes almost no time at all.
Even in I12 PvP my MA/SR/WPN Scrapper tore Electric Armor Brutes up. Caltrops shut their Aid Self down and then it was just a matter of working the Smash damage through the weak SL Resist (Statesman help them if Buildup+Eagle's Claw critted) to get the win. It was pretty sad. Of all Brutes I feared ElA the least (well OK, second-least to DA Brutes). ElA was junk then, it's even more junk now.
And I miss unresistable crits.

And, as funny as it may seem, DA is actually BETTER than ELA now in your average PvP setup! LOL, go figure

I start to forget issues and nerfs. But I was fine even in organized test server arena matches on my electric armor brute. Not talkin 1v1s, more like 2v2 to 5v5 type matches. Real good unsupressed movement, solid resists to the stuff I found in PvP (never took aid self lol). I was a real annoyance (taunt and webnade, and with reds and KoBlow I got a few kills here and there). Now I cant stay alive long enough to annoy. People focus on me and take me down fast. Couldnt do that before. I could hang with broadsword scrappers long enough to do my job.
Its not the leveling, its all the other crap. Gotta respec my elec to get all the IOs out (multiple respecs). Gotta get all the accolades. Gotta fine tune a build. And level up to 50. Just a real pain in the censored. Cause none of that stuff is fun to me anymore (alot of it never really was). I just wanna play.
Hello guys,
Ive been wanting to make an unstoppable Brute or tank! Ive done my research and i cant decide between Electric Armor, or Inv or something better...I'm defiantly going to pick SS cuz its amazing DMG! Whats my best option? Any thoughts, tips, comments?
