Are you asking about electric melee or energy melee?

Yea i guess i should have said Elec instead of em huh? Electric melee
Well, if nothing else it makes it possible for me to know how to tag it. Now that I know what you were asking, I've added the elec/shield tag to your post. If you click on it, you'll see a few other posts about this powerset combo, with a couple of them in the brute section. Even if you don't get any replies, perhaps that can help you.

Neither electric or shield are a good choice for PvP. Electric Melee is very poor for taking out single targets, which will be the majority of your encounters in PvP while shield is a defensive set without the ability to generate the defensive numbers necessary for PvP. While energy aura and super reflexes both have tier nines that allow them to be difficult to hit in PvP, shield does not.|

Also, elec/shield brutes tend to be more expensive options for farming, while cheaper sets have similar performance. Unless you are willing to invest about 800 million inf, there are better options. I would call elec/shield a farmer's toy.
I found a good build for a EM/SD brute a while back, one for farming, but would be good for PVE/PVP also, anyone know ehere i can find it?
