1) What's the best way to build fury as an EM brute?
2) How to slot my attacks with SOs?
3) And what does this build look like? Got some sets I thought wouldnt cost that much (sets I could afford pretty much the moment I'm lvl 50).

1) Spam Barrage and Energy Punch/Boxing on a strong opponent and surround yourself with at least six enemies.
2) I personally went for 3xDamage, 2xAccuracy and 1xRechRedux or 1xEndRedux. I found my Endurance to be quite good, so I didn't need EndRedux much.
3) The build looks pretty good, actually! Can't say I see something to complain about. Good job D

I have found and many people have also found that barrage really isnt that good for building fury. Personally i just use Brawl/Energy Punch Brawl/Energy Punch and so on (Oh and jumping into mobs is always good 
. As for the build it looks pretty good
Pyro Inferno, that surprises me! I have always found Barrage coupled with Energy Punch and a bit of +recharge to be a continuous wave of ouch on the enemy. Always builds up my Fury in seconds!
i would do brawl/boxing-->EP and repeat
Hmm... Should I get whirling hands instead of barrage in that case?

Don't dare take an AoE power when you're Energy Melee. EM is all about whopping the [censored] out of one enemy at a time - you'd better have one dead enemy than three enemies at half health.
Many things:
1) Barrage has a longer animation time. U can build fury faster enough using brawl/boxing/energy punch. U can save a power there. In ur fury building chain try to put 1 endrdx (brawl sloted with 1 endrdx).
2) Also, get at lvl4 fast healing, untill u get QR and stamina it should be more than enough to defense urself soloing. Basically, swap MoB for FH, u will be longer fightin, and the difference will not be so big.
3) When u get both QR and Stamina, ur slotting should be 2ACC, 3DMG, 1RECH.
4) Not takin vertical movement travel until lvl47 is a bit hard, IMHO... Moving in grandville will be hard without it :S
5) If ur not goin to fly travel, then get hurdle, u will be faster jumping with hurdle, and also u have taken SS as ur primary travel power...
Asides this littles details, the build is pretty solid for me.
Cheers.
So, I rolled a brute an hour or two ago (EM/WP as the title says..) and I'm enjoying it so far. I'm going to build it to be mostly a solo toon for the rainy days when I cant find a team.

And so, I got a few questions to ask...
1) What's the best way to build fury as an EM brute?
2) How to slot my attacks with SOs?
3) And what does this build look like? Got some sets I thought wouldnt cost that much (sets I could afford pretty much the moment I'm lvl 50).
