You sacrificed far too much damage and combat capability to achieve perma-Energize. (Note, I don't think this build achieves it if the 65% global recharge value is correct. Force Feedback's 100% recharge buff will neither be perma nor reliable.)
First, Kinetic Crash grants poor damage modification and Stone Melee has high enough damage scale values that such a setup is simply bad. You also change all of your knock-up attacks to knock-back, which will be very annoying in actual game play.
Second, your slotting for Seismic Smash is extremely lacking in damage modification. Fury shouldn't replace socketed damage, it should stack on top of it. This is especially true for heavy hitters like the mallets and Seismic Smash.
Third, perma Energize is a waste if you make the build sacrifices that you did to achieve it-- no sockets in Gloom, no Dark Obliteration, poor socketed damage across the board. You actually lowered your total survivability in this build by gimping your damage output. Remember, a dead opponent is 100% mitigation.
Perma Energize is over-rated. There are much better ways to improve your survivability such as +HP/Regen or melee or S/L defense.
Aw man, looks like I fail. lol.
So the recharge proc really isn't that good? I heard it comes significantly more reliable if used in an AOE power like I have slotted here. And considering how much I'm going to be using Fault, and it's crazy recharge time, that gives it more chances to fire.... right?
Oh well. I'll re-consider my slotting. I'm going to keep trying to make my recharge as high as possible and lower the amount of damage I sacrifice. I *really* like the idea of not having to take the Fitness pool because my end discount/regen will be perma (or close to it).
Perma-Energize cannot be achieved without severely gimping your build. You can get way more survivability and damage output by getting it to a comfortable non-perma recharge rate where it's still a great end tool and healing aid. For example, on my near perma-hastened build (with 20% defense to all) I have it on a 35 sec timer.
Okay, made some adjustments. Without considering the boosts from Hasten and the Recharge procs, Energize is sitting at 45 second recharge. My S/L defense is at to 25% with the other averaging out to 20% (ish, psionic was 14 I think). It's really starting to look like the jack of all trades, master of none. lol. But at least the damage modifiers are significantly better. And this is all without Purples, so I'm pretty proud right now. lol. Feel free to crush my spirits and tell me this new build sucks. lol

I just noticed you didn't take the fitness pool. Health is still very handy to have on a brute. At the very least, you want health.
FF proc works out to be about 20-30% recharge on my fissure spamming plant/kin. If you spam the hell out of fault it will probably work out similar for you.
IIRC it can suppress itself or something so I dunno if there is an optimal frequency to use it to get the benefit up higher (I've heard it is 5 sec on, 5 sec off), so I guess in theory it could get up to 50% recharge...maybe. I dunno.
Heck even if you only get 15% out of it over time that's as good as two lotg's and you should be able to get that much out of it.

I've heard the same thing about this, but with my force feedback in footstomp, it fires nearly every time footstomp is up. I opened an herostats recording of an ideal run on my SS/elec brute to see just how often it fired. These results are in an ideal situation where every time you hit footstomp, you hit ten enemies. Typical gameplay does not allow for this.|

What it shows me is that I still need to place Armageddon in Footstomp. It also shows me that since my recharge of footstomp isn't under 10 seconds, I'm not able to say whether FF is working or not.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Record Session Duration: 14:36
Footstomp Fired: 58 Times (3.97 per minute)
Force Feedback Fired 34 Times (2.33 per minute)
Footstomp hit 540 times, implying that almost every application was at saturation.
Total Recharge bonus per second is:
[(2.33 * 5 * 100 ) / 60]= 19.474
So about a 20% bonus to recharge.
Edit:
Oh and the rest of the fun data:
Total recorded DPS (including AoE): 431.97
Lightning Field accounted for 120.67 of that
Don't let anybody tell you Lightning field isn't for damage.
Rock, post your data chunk so that I can make my recommendations through the hero planner.
Tonality: Do you have to be so curt? I'm sorry I haven't gotten it perfect the first or second time through, but I'm afraid I'm not very used to advanced IO setups.
JuliusSeizure and Exxar: My apologies. I'm new to this sort of thing and I actually had to figure out how to get the chunk data in the first place. lol.
Here is the latest attempt. No doubt Tonality will smite me for making other mistakes. Unfortunately, it looks like I've sacrificed some defense (and recharge) in order to get whatever regen I got from Health. I'm not entirely sure if it's worth it.
*edit* Just realized I didn't replace Cloud senses. I'll update shortly.
*edit 2* Updated.

I feel like a power has to hit for a proc to do anything. So I'm not sure that slotting of fault would work very well in play.
And while I've never played /elec armor I have messed around with stone a bit and a fault spec build can easily stack the power and aoe stun bosses, while continually bouncing everything.
There is a reason that people have said that fault alone is > some secondaries.
Just a thought.

Here are a few minor tweaks you might consider:
1) The 5th bonus out of reactive armor isn't so great. You could choose to add a titanium res/end to be a little more endurance efficient. We're talking fractions of a percent here.
2) I bet you'd like to get a 5th slot in dark obliteration somehow for that recharge bonus. You might be able to take out some slots in powersink and lose the 5% bonus and gain a 6.25% bonus, and a slight boost by adding the energy proc there.
3) You can get a slight bit more efficiency out of gloom switching a few set IOs around. Try this:
--Devastation: Acc/Dam/Rech/End, Acc/Dam/Rech
--Thunderstrike: Acc/Dam/End, Acc/Dam/Rech, Dam/End/Rech
4) I'm curious as to how well the procs will work out in Tremor. I'm not sure you actually will gain anything from this or not.
5) Gaussian's has one expensive piece (rech/end). It has great bonuses. If you find yourself in need of more slots, you can 3 slot it with one recharge and adjusted targeting's rech and to-hit/rech. Those defense bonuses are tasty, though.
IOs are an art. Some things are given, such as the traditional 4 slotting of stamina with performance shifter or picking doctored wounds for high-recharge heals. Other things have more finesse - do you choose to go melee defense or smashing/lethal, or hp/regen? Overall, as you keep working on your build (mine can take months of planning), you'll tweak some here and there until you're happy with it.
I guess what I'm saying is, take my word for a grain of salt. It's how I like things done. Here's my line of thinking:
1) Brutes' primary source of incoming fire is usually melee. Therefore, I tend to concentrate on melee defense. The other valid option is to concentrate on smashing/lethal as many attacks have this component. Range,AoE, Energy/Neg/Fire/Cold defense can suffer a bit if the primary source of damage is mitigated better.
2) Tanks would be pretty useless in war without their guns. Sure, survival is important, but a good offense is a step toward survival. Build your brute to be strong, but don't forget that you want things dead.
Here's some minor tweaks to your build. I'm not happy with it myself, but maybe you can tinker with it some more. Here's some of the things I did:
Kismet 6% to hit (it says accuracy, but it's really to-hit)
3rd Numina in Health for some more regen
4th Reactive in Tough for some more bonuses
5th slot for Dark Oblit for the proc and the recharge bonus
6th slot in Tremor for better damage/rech/end efficiency.
7th...hey, no 7th slot.

Quote:
At a glance, you have a lot of superfluous slotting in there. For example, slotting two or three slots only to get a bit of regeneration without any other benefits is a waste. Also, you have left out Lightning Reflexes - you may as well roll a /FA brute or something, he'll be much more powerful. It's the set's defining power. Your Fault slotting is useless, you won't hit anything with it. You have a lot of procs in there, and it usually isn't the best idea to slot procs before you have those powers nicely slotted with sets.|

*edit* Just realized I didn't replace Cloud senses.

I'm not sure you can run without Stamina. SM is a very end intensive set, and even with Stamina I still often get saved by Power Sink in the last moment from detoggling.
My advice for slotting: stuff in as much recharge as you can. Then slot for defense. When you're done, tweak your slotting to get the max out of it. Neat stuff like +hp will come as a nice side effect.
Thank you for submitting these solid looking builds.
Tonality: Thank you. I appreciate the apology as well as the help you've been providing.
Exxar: I actually have a DM/FA at 26 right now. I love the potential for damage with Soul Drain + Fury. Unfortunately, this build is actually a level 50 toon I already have. I'm not planning on playing this game for that much longer... Or, at the very least, it will become a secondary MMO (getting the occasional single-month purchase when updates are released).
I'll be doing some tweaking later today and see what else I can squeeze from this build. The only major problem I can see if that I have too many powers I want to take. lol.

I strongly suggest you take LR then. Really, it's that great |

Here is the latest update. Still doesn't feel finished quite yet.
If you can fit Lightning Reflexes, be my guest. I actually had to drop Darkest Night in order to fit Stamina. Before Stamina, the build's recovery was even with it's end usage... and that was without Darkest Night toggled. Energize was able to even it out again, but still... I didn't like the endurance hole it was creating. Felt like it was more than Power Sink was able to handle.

Easy. Throw Build Up outta the window and fiddle with slotting a bit to get your defense numbers back.
If you love BU that much that you don't wanna get LR instead... go with that if you like it, but you could go much much better than that performance-wise.
Yeah, I suppose that's true. I really, really like Build up, but it is pretty much the next in line to go if I absolutely have to have LR.
The first problem with many people's IO builds is that they neglect socketed values and concentrate too much on global bonuses. It's better to have great enhancement values and stack set bonuses on top than to have awful enhancement values with solid global bonuses. All of your builds so far neglect proper socketed enhancement values, trading these for what seem to be good global bonuses. You actually hurt your build by doing this.
If you are going to stack defense, don't hold back. If I were to use your template and modify it, this is what I would do:
- For AoE damage, Lightning Field and a rapidly spammed Tremor will be solid. I got rid of DO for Darkest Night, which is probably the best Patron skill in the game. It adds -14% toHit in this build, the equivalent of 14% defense to all against even cons, AND it adds -damage which functions like resistance to stack with your armors.
- Grounded is gone. Combat Jumping grants Immobilize protection and you now have -12 mag KB protection at all times, rather than 15 while only in touch with the ground.
- Hurdle is key with CJ and SJ.
- The values on your mallets and Seismic Smash are much better, as is the value on Fault, which will stun properly, recharge faster, and have far more accuracy. You need good accuracy in this skill because it has an inherent accuracy penalty.
- You have more global recharge in this build than thanks to Lightning Reflexes. You also have much more defense-- especially when you consider Darkest Night's debuff as an additional 14% to all. (This value drops versus higher cons, however.)

Oh yeah, pay attention to what parts of each set are employed. Your build did not ED cap resistance in your armors. Try and use the parts that are in that build to ED cap, at the very least.
Wow. That's pretty friggen nice. You improved most of the areas I was looking for while sacrificing what seems to be very little. I'm not fond of the Hami O's, but I see why you put them there... That will more than likely be the most expensive part of this build. Still, it's not bad considering how expensive it could have been. I appreciate the work you all put into this. Hopefully I can get some time away from Aion to get this build at least started. lol.
I'm probably not the best at doing stuff like this, but I thought I would give it a shot.
Mids says duration is 30 seconds and I managed to get it to 25 recharge. I'm debating on whether I should keep Power Surge or not.
If this build is strong enough, that spot might be best used for Taunt or something.
Please let me know of anything you see that could make this build better.
