well in my eyes that build looks fine i do how ever sujest u get grounded then lightning reflexes as grounded is ur kb protection, in concerns to the aid others and aid self i sujest u only do that if u intend on teaming alot i would also say definatly get conserve power,but health and stamina would also help for the drawn out battles if conserve is still recharging hope that helps 
How i have my EM/Elec build it works perfectly PvE and PvP, atleast most of the time. Like you say about the verticle movements thing i cant abide SS personally. Its not really a PvP build or PvE i just done it as i went along, and respecced out of it if i made a mistake or took a power i didnt like.

Yeah I'd agree with sanphonox, get grounded, lightining reflexes. Dont worry about aid self for now (some might disagree but if you are teaming, you should always have a healer with you. Get Aid self in the 40's. Take combat jumping and 3 slot hurdle and vertical movement problem is fixed while still having hasten and superspeed. I managed to get in air superiority as well at 30 and it proved to be very useful vs bosses and u just chain brawl, airsup, energy punch and bonesmasher till fury builds up (air sup keeps them well grounded) then build up energy tarnsfer, total focus and if they are still standing just hit the air sup chain till ET recharges. Check out the american forums, in the brute section there is a good guide on the ENG/ELEC brute. I'm not adhereing to it completely but am using it as a guide for my own.
Heyas,
Im abit lost atm with my level 22 EM/EL Brute. I love the powers available, but im totally lost about what to take.
At this moment, my build is a little messed up, with powers like Whirling Hands and Barrage. I have a respec available, and i intend to use it. After fiddling around abit with the building, i came up with this:

My concerns, tho, are the following:
- I miss any vertical movement, won't that be very annoying?
- I only have 3 attacks, isnt that too limited? (Take Air Sup + Fly would fix that, but then i miss Hasten)
- I have no idea where to fit in Aid Other -> Aid Self, there seems to be no room.
- Grounded or Lightning Reflexes at 22?
- Will Stamina be useless when Conserve Power will be available at 28? -> Which brings me to the question if i should walk around with my lousy build till 28, then respec Hurdle -> Health -> Stamina out, and create room for Aid Other -> Aid Self and take Conserve Power.
- Slot the shields with DamageRes, or more EndRed? Atm i left the slotting open, cause i don't really know what to slot, and what not.
Anyways, if i could get a few tips that can make me feel more secure about a certain build, i'd be happy. Btw, PvP isnt on my list of high importance. Teaming and some solo PvE are more important.
Thanks in advance!
