I guess it would be better for me to post a build and then have it criticized. Things to note: I don't really know my way around IOs quite yet (I haven't played in about 4 years or so), so I just kind of plugged them in there based on some other posts and random chance. Also, I don't know if I should have Tough/Weave in there or if I should pick up Mu Mastery or goodies from Presence pool. So here goes:

Some random thoughts.
1. Remove Numina's Regen/Recov from Dull Pain and put in a passive, like Health. This way you get the +reg/+recov automatically rather only when DP is active.
2. Put the Steadfast +3% def IO in RPD. This frees up TI and gives more slotting options.
3. I think you've over slotted Unstoppable. I can see 3 slots of Res/Rech.
4. Tough is going to need some Endurance Reduction if you run it constantly.
5. Think about the +End Proc from Performance Shifter for Stamina. Either replace one End Mod IO or add a 4th slot.
Lastly, here is a build I would start with and if I have time later I'll post a fully IO build.

Thanks for the fast response! I am looking over your build now and trying to predict how you're going to slot it. |

I might move some slots around. I just went through at a glance and placed some slots to the powers. It might be a couple hours until I get to it, but I'll post something.

The main question I have is why do you grab Taunt so late in the build? I play tanks in WoW and couldn't imagine going without it for so long.
I would not slot Kinetic Combat in all my attacks. If you really want to keep them in there, then at least remove the procs and replace them with Dam/Acc HOs.
Quote:
Personal preference really. I don't consider Taunt a requirement on a brute but it sure is nice to keep the aggro on you when you team. In the below build I moved it up in the selection. I did move some slots around and I think this is a nice build. I built towards +def to get some added mitigation for energy/neg. energy, fice/cold damages. If you are so inclined you could build for max recharge to try and get Dull Pain and Hasten permamenent but that requires alot more infamy from my experience. |

Thanks very much for taking the time to work on the build. Greatly appreciated. I'll let you know how it works out when I am done!
So, I have been trying to do a bunch of research on a Fire/Invul Brute, but all the posts I can find for it are either outdated or broken links. Does anyone have advice on how to build it? Basically I am looking for both a rich man's and a poor man's build. Also, any tips/tricks the vets out there may have for it. Thanks in advance.
