Hi
I'd just like to say that my main is a lvl 35 fire/invuln brute. I have loved the concept but endurance does become a bit of a problem somewhere in 30s unless you 3 slot stamina with SOs. I'm no real expert but it's turning out great. DUnno why yuou have medicine though, fitness and dull pain work jsut fine for me. Anyway, good call on putting end reduction in attacks. keep it up.
Muh...I can't come up with a build I like...There's always a slot missing here or there...Someone post a build plis!
Here is the build I;m using, it's not exact and it does have it's flaws here and there, enjoy.

With endurance worries and the idea of building fury as fast as possible I would slot attacks with Acc, Endred and recred before damage. Also RPD is not worth 3 slotting leave it at the default slot.

Some would say otherwise as if you get toggle dropped or held then it's really your only resistance. Horses for courses of course, but it does stack with TI.

Many and varied!
@Miss Chief
Yep, the 10% Res from RPD brings you up to 50%ish res to smashing and lethal. Worth it I'd say ^^
If you assume that the only defences you have are 3 slotted tough hide and RPD according to Dr Rocks Program the difference between 3 slotted RPD and 1 slotted is 0.28 DPS. So is 2 slots worth an extra .28 DPS in terms of surviability?
With RPD, TI, TH, Unyielding and Invic 3 slotted with relevant SO's you get 2 DPS more than if RPD is only 1 slotted. However if you only have Invic 2 slotted you lose 6 DPs therefore it is better to spend the slots on Invic than on RPD.
Hey m8,
Altho I don't have a FM/INV, I have a lvl46 FM/EA and a lvl50 SS/INV so I know a 'lil of both worlds :-)
Some personal experiences :
* I didn't slot RPD, but got tough instead on my INV, with tough I got round 65% S/L resistance
* TI is slotted with 2 end reductions due to his high end usage, and 3 res. slots course
* on my INV build I didn't take aid self, due to his nature, he's got great resistance and I boosted it with tough (if u gonne use aid self, use 2 interrupts enh.)
* All my powers are slotted with 2 acc, 3 damg, 1 end red (since FM is pretty fast by nature I didn't slot recharge reductions anymore, started with some but got rid of'm l8r)
* Invincibility needs 1 (pref. 2 end reductions on it 2 imho)
Hope this might help a 'lil

Ok, I'm struggling to come up with a build for my Fire/Invul Brute. The build below is what I tried to make...I don't think it's too good...I don't like it, and would just as soon scrap it for another build, but it's just a thought...I thought about the auto's, but I get mixed opinions on em, so will try and make up another build soon. (I'm lvl 32 atm, and respec'ing):
