I have one of those,
Warchild Puppy is a lvl 36 Shield/elect melee and ive been thinking about renaming him to Shock and awe Puppy. . . as in thats usually the result when I plow into a mob with him on a team. Buildup+shieldcharge+lightning rod= "holy crap!" out of ppl.
So far ive been IO'ing his powers untill he hits 50, then im going in on powersets. I'm not like some people who have tons of infamy on hand so ill probably think a bit conservative on sets. Like you I am a bit confused as well on how to slot out this monster, any help would definatly be appreciated. For me I think the armor sets will give me the most trouble.
Thus far since ive noticed that the build is quite end heavy so im trying to address his endurance for now. For added durability I dipped into the fighting pool set and picked up kick and tough. Just for spite I added a kinetic combat proc into kick and its quite funny to kick something and watch them fall down.
As for stamina itself I plan on slotting 4 efficacy adapters and a performance shifter proc into his stamina.
For Lightning rod and Shield charge I think 5 obliteration and a force feedback proc to help crankout recharge would fit nicely. For single target attacks I'll be going with 5 crushing impacts.
Well at first I saw that you wanted Recall Friend and TP Self and was thinking this would gimp your defense, but then I remembered Blessing of the Z set. But really, why would Hover/ tp self aid you in tanking? Also Hover is detrimental to Lightning Rod as you must be on the ground to activate it. If movement is the problem, then go for Combat Jumping. Still if you are set on Hover, then you just have to turn it off.
Presence Pool. Taunt > Provoke and you need another power before you can take Invoke Panic as that is the tier 4 of the set.
PPP. Pick which is best suited for you BUT-- Electric Melee has no draw animations. Do you really want to have Mace mastery and then have redraw issues, especially if you want to mix and match attacks.
Electric Melee. I'd skip Lightning CLap. PBAoe non-damaging KB = bad for Shield's AAO. Really, LR + SC + Thunderstrike should be all the mitigation you need. In fact, a standard tactic I intend to use when my version of this combo gets high enough is: Run in the middle, gather up the spawn if necessary, Chain Induction + SC + LR + Thunderstrike = ownage.
IOs. Concentrate on sets that give +defense, +recovery, and +recharge.

I downloaded Mids to test this build with some of your advice. Please tell me what you think and what sets i should get
Here's my build.
Softcapped to Melee and Ranged, decent regen. Depending on your budget you could skip the LoTG + Recharge (though this will slow you down on a fast-moving farm team) or replce the Crushing Impact and a Positron with purples.

Ok For those of you on Virtue you may know my @ as @timex ultimate Well my brute (on virtue) Iggy Sparks is an EM/SD level 30. I need to respec him. He has no travel power due to me not paying attention. And then not caring because he can run to GrandVille and waste 10k on a jetpack. Well not anymore i want the Hover/Teleport self Combo to aid my tanking. I also know that both of my sets contain Semi self Teleport power (Lightning Rod and Shield Charge)For My PPP i want Soul Mastery for Build 1 and Mace Mastery for build 2.
My Player style when playing a brute is to hold the Aggro of all the enemies and Keep it, while Causing Reasonable damage. I am going to Run the Respec trial for 24-33 when i log in after this Post Or after Todays Maitnence. (((I have been awake all night so please excuse Grammer errors Random CapS Because right now i just want to get my Brute to 50 and Make a Scrapper (I already have a 50 Villain Timex Ultimate Ninjas/Pain/Soul/Flight)))
Ok Back to My Topic The Pools I Have Lined up to Respec into Are
Electric Melee(Havoc Punch,Jacobs Ladder,Thunder Strike,Chain Induction,Lightning Clap,Lightning Rod)
Shield Defense(Deflection,Battle Agility,True Grit,Active Defense(need Perma),Against All Odds,Phalanx Fighting,Grant Cover,Shield Charge,One With the Shield)
Flight(hover only)
Teleport (Recall Friend and TP self)
Fitness (Sprint,Health,Stamina)Required
Presence(Provoke,Invoke Panic) Optional Pool I dont need it but would like it.
Soul Mastery (Gloom,Soul Tentacles,Dark Obliteration,Summon Widow)
I am Unsure if this Build is Even Possible with Power Limit and if it is i would die for some serious slotting advice. If this build is not possible i am willing to become a plain Flight user I am willing to Lose Lightning Clap and The Presence Set as well as Obviously when becoming flight user i would ditch Teleport Pool.
What are good IO sets for this build also this build will not be at all a pvp build at all i refuse to pvp. I will not enter pvp zones besides to gain temp powers. The above power selections are obviously for when Iggy hits 50. Iggy sometimes Solo's and is a member of a Level pact. So A functioning Build would be great!
