six slotted combat jumping? O.o

Best advice I can give is "read what every slot decision will grant you". Nobody slots combat jump for endurance and the level of defense boosted by slotting it is negligible.


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Oh mine's built as a two trick pony (better than a one trick on anyway) Herd + Lightning Rod is trick one and Herd + Elec Fences + Burn is trick two. Both are very good tricks though

Elec/fire cant say I've tried it (yet) but i have played the 2 sets on other brutes and the were fun so I'm sure elec fire will be great fun

I've reworked your build a little (hope you don't mind) I've left the powers as you selected them tho i would be tempted to drop taunt and replace it with either swift or hurdle.

the thing to keep in mind with brutes is that there most effective when your in constant combat which keeps your fury high to this end endurance management and keeping your HP topped up are pretty much your only priorities,

so I personally tend to slot attacks 2 acc 2 endmod as a missed attack is lost damage and you're gonna want your attacks to use less endurance so you can make lots of attacks.

armours only generally need 4 slots 3 of either resistance or defence (dependant on what your secondary is) and a single end mod

your gonna come to love healing flames as it'll keep you on your feet and punching on my fire toon i have slotted 3 recharge and 3 heal but i have 2 endurance recovery powers on top of stamina so you may want to adjust the slotting to 3 recharge 2 heals and a end mod.

as i said i would be tempted to drop taunt for one of the first powers from the fitness pool if you intend to keep it remember that taunt only requires a accuracy check in PvP in PvE its auto hit so no need to slot for Acc

as you'll be wanting to have combat jumping on during combat there's no need to slot super jump with end reduction instead slot it with a jump enhancer so you can get around zones quicker.

Consume and Stamina is plenty enough for endurance on Elec/Fire, if it was a Stone/Fire or something else with fast activating attacks it might be an issue but I would just go 3 rech, 3 heal for Healing flames.
