Newbie Brute :)
I'd recommend a resistance based secondary - Fire, Elec or Dark. As for your primary, for both PvP and PvE I'd say Elec, Fire or Super Strength.

Welcome to the game, Diamont.
I recommend Energy Melee/Electric Armour, because both sets are easy to play, it's a powerful combination, and combined with a Corruptor, you are unstoppable.
Take a look at my Energy Melee/Electric Armour Brute guide if you want, which you can find in my signature.
There is nothing wrong with your gfs choice, or the recommendations made by the above posters. However for my money I would go for Super Strength / Energy Aura brute.
She would help fill the gaps in the Rage / Overload Crashes, which would both be back in no time because of the SB. Also her heal, which is centered on you would be perfect. But I think the jewel in the crown would be you firing off energy drain and her firing off transference, any mob would have NO / ZERO end left, with nothing in the tank there would be nothing left to hit you with.

If your gf knows (or learns) how to play her fire/kin well you should be fine with any kind of brute and a kinetic corruptor paired with any AoE heavy brute (fire, SS, elec primary) is total and utter carnage, especially in the mid- to high-level game. So, whatever you choose you will probably have loads of fun.
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.
Many thanks for u replies .
We r both second day at game and spend 5+ hours to customize our char lol.
Heh, I still spend a few hours in the character creation screen and I've been here for a while

I'd recomend Elec/Fire. With speed boost Lightning Rod will be nuking at least every other group, and when you finally get a patron power take the AOE imob and you can imob + burn then. Pretty much as good AoEs as the game gives you.

That sounds good. I think I might have to try one now!

Mmmmh, elec/ is the worst primary set for pvp, I think, because it deals poor single damages. I would prefer energie/ (the most abusive set, since it's deals the highest damages AND stun with each attack), fire/ (high damages), ss/ (high damages and high precision with rage) or mineral/ (high damages and a good held mag 4).
For the secondary, not /energy, which is bad in pvp (as all defensive sets). Others sets are ok, even /stone, which is fun to play with a kin corrupt.
The mode in pvp today is energy/elec.
Well scOulOu, sorry to ruin your fun, but:
1) There is no Mineral primary set. Surely you meant Stone Melee.
2) You say all defensive sets are bad for PvP, but Stone Armour is also a defensive powerset.

1. Yes, sorry for the little mistake
2. Not entirely... /Stone has granite, which has extremely strong resistances against all but psi. And with a kin corrupt, the -speed and -rech aren't really painful (without, it's a kind of challenge to play pvp in granite or rooted, using and abusing TK and TP ).
Granite has only 15% resist, not at all extremely, altho with the 37,5% def it probarly feels like it.

Granite Armour's resistances aren't that immense, really. At least not for a godmode power. 37,5% unslotted according to Mids'. But, coupled with the 15% unslotted defence, it's quite nice.
But that doesn't change that Stone Armour is a defence set, not a resistance one. There are more defence powers than resistance powers.
Go Super Strength/Fire mate, since your GF is a kin you wont need acro ( She will have ID ) Also Fulcrum shift'd foot stomp is monster in pve. Not to forget KO blow. Also you have the best and fastest heal you can find and speed boost will stop your endurance issues.

I hope there's no "godmode power" in the game, yes
But 37,5% res slotted + tough slotted + rooted and nobody can kill you in a melee fight. Not so bad, I think...

Yes, there are more def power than res power, but the res offered by granite is more powerful than all the defs of this set, taken together. It's a res/def set, if you prefer
Zaldor > with a kin corrupt, it can easily pvp. And even without it, it's possible. Very hard, but possible.

"In a melee fight"
If you were playing a melee at without help (of a defender, controller or corruptor), the granite brutes were just very bad or very unwise. Anybody can kill a bad or unwise player, newermind his sets. The only - and rare - times were my granite brute was killed in a melee duel, it was because of an unwise (or very bad) play.
Besides, it's really really hard to find volunteers to duel in melee against a stone brute (or tank).
Stack enough high mag stuns and you'll de-toggle Granite, then it's easy pickings... I love YouTube

Actually the Brute I fought was one of the best players I know. Also, it was just me versus him, on my Energy Melee/Electric Armour Brute. No help from any other AT.
How is supposed a -good- granite brute die from EM/elec + without help? LOL
I am newbie to game and i'd like some help about brute prim / secon
My gf decided to make fire/kin corrupt and i want to make a brute to duo as better as possible.Also we'd like to pvp end game (casual pvp not hardcore).
What kind of brute should i make?(for pve and a little casual pvp end game- teamed with fire/kin corrupt).
Is a better duo combo for corruptor X/X and brute X/X ??
TY in advance
