Brute Vs. PB Dwarf (suggestions on brute build)

Hello everyone,
Me and my stepdad have a lil situation here, he thinks there is no way a brute would be able to take out his lvl 50 PB Dwarf fully IO'd out with sets. I said the pb wouldn't stand a chance, so I want to show him that brutes are a force to be reckoned with. So could anyone help me with a build that can take out a PB dwarf. I was thinking something like WM/SD or something like that. Please comment back!!!

DM/WP. You'll have loads of endurance, a heal, solid ST attacks, and great protection from your enemy attacks (I think PB attacks are , including mez. Also, DM attacks give a ToHit debuff, so he'll have an even harder time hitting you. Make sure to included Energy defense IO bonuses in your build, since its attacks are all either Energy or Smashing/Energy. Pick up Touch of Fear and slot it for either fear or ToHit debuff, then spam it while smashing him with your DM attacks.

I'm guessing that he's a Human/Dwarf biform instead of a full Dwarf form, since Dwarf form can be slotted to the gills and still have enough room leftover to load the human form with some nice power. He'll have a a good amount of durability and a couple of hard attacks in dwarf form, but Human form will likely have more damaging attacks (Like Photon Seekers and Incandescent Strike) as well as more self heals, Conserve Energy, Light Form, a self-rez, and a self-Intangible. Make it an Arena match instead of a PvP Zone so that he can't run away as easily. Make sure not to skip a travel power, since he'll be able to fly and teleport.

Or try DM/Elec. With 90% resistance to energy damage, you'll be laughing as he's pounding on you with all those energy based PB attacks.

That's going to be a long fight... But you should also factor in that ALL of the PB attacks have -Def in them. Plenty of places for -res procs. Not to mention the high nrg/neg res and 3 heals with one being a dull pain.

If he actually has invested time in to building a PB that he claims that can take any brute, he most likely have taken care of all holes. Not to mention the fact that he must have crazy recharge enough to have a heal up often and to attack enought to keep the -res proc going.

I say use elm/ela to sap that kheld of every last drop of end he has.

This. Dwarf is not a lot of fun on endurance for very protracted battles, so doing everything in your power to sap him will be your best bet, especially if he really does have a killer build. Go //mu for even more -end.
