Well, to start with, we're all waiting to see what happens with issue 16 and the switch from conserve power to energize. I'm loathe to post any build until I have a better idea how that power will work, but here's my planned build. I already changed conserve power over to energize in mids, so you may have problems opening it.

I just leveled my SS/Electric Armor brute to lvl 50 but it's my first 50 and I'm still very much a newb(don't worry, I didn't even go near the AE till around level 30-35). I've been messing around with IO's a bit but I just can't get my survivability up where I'd like it to be. I know Ela is not the best for survival but I thought I'd see what ya'll could come up with as far as a build and IO slotting.
I know he's probably never going to be the ideal or the most powerful brute., but I would like to have the best survivability and damage output possible with this build.
I don't really have any stipulations as far as power pools except my patron pool is Mu Mastery which I kinda like thus far., and I prefer(although not set in stone) Leaping as a travel power.
Thanks in advance for any advice or build examples you guys might be able to offer!
