Energy/Electricity Brute
With power sink and stamina, conserve power isn't needed
you need damage mitigation over and above armour and aid self, the best is air superiority
Aid self doesn't need 2 recharges, if you are using it that much you are losing fury, which is your best damage mitigation
Power surge can benefit from at least one dam res (capping most damage types) and possibly 3 (for tox resistance) which could help vs the later level snakes and other toxic stuff
With stamina he can always respec it out later, as it takes a hell of a long time before he's got power sink and conserve power, this is about the only comment I can see that may help, as I have a EM/EA who's getting it, but respecing it out later on as it'll be invaluable till you actually have the powers.
you don't actually need Conserve Power at all, as long as you slot an end recuder in attacks
You don't need CP or any end reduc with Stamina and Power Sink, unless you plan to have 5mn+ fights without any end buffer against AVs (in this case, CP is good).
That's with PS slotted 3endmod/3rech though, I'm not sure 2endmod/2rech can cut it.
You might want to drop another IntRdx or two in Aid self, instead of the recharges. It'll recharge very fast with hasten and LR. As a RES set you'll have some trouble using it in fights with DoTs if you use only 1 Int (not to mention there's like 3409 factions with DoT in CoV late game).
You don't *need* more damage mitigation with all the stuns from EM, your res and aid self. As a L49 nrj/elec, I think I might have noticed by now if it was impossible to do well without it. (Btw, there's another L50 nrj/elec on Vigilance, who hasn't air sup either and he does well too) Please don't take this part as bragging, I'm just trying to say I'm speaking from experience and not just disagreeing for the sake of argument.
ok cheers for ur reply.... i think id rather take hasten and SS instead of air sup/fly, cos i dont really have the slots to spare and with LR hasten will be up alot of the time, which will help TF and ET recharge faster this is a second sample of the build.... more comments will be very appreciated, cheers!!!

After alot of thought and rolling about 8 different brutes ive settled on Energy/electric. This is a PvE solo build. Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
