hey guys, i have played COX for about 3 years now, and for thouse 3 years never wanted to touch the vill side, i was always a hero. Just 2 days ago or so i leveled my first vill to 50. Hes a Super Strength/Fire Armor Brute, and in a nuttshell im villain retared. Ive got no idea how to build this guy.
SO
i was wondering if anyone could hlep me out and make a Mids build for me
ive got 500 mill to spend on this guy and i was wondering if anyone could make me a
SS/FA PVP build with a good set of basic IO's so i will be able to at least hold my own in pvp.

Thanks to any that help!

I'm not sure about "holding your own". Brutes tend to suck in PvP. You can make your team-mates lives easier though by taunting all incoming damage dealers & web grenading team targets.

Build for +HP bonuses from IO sets. Get the four +HP & +End accolades. You should be aiming for 2100 - 2200 HP.

Aim for 41 KB Protection from IO Sets.

Powerpools:
Speed (Hasten/Superspeed)
Leaping (Combat Jumping/Super Jump)
Fitness (Hurdle/Health/Stamina)
Concealment (Stealth/Invis/Phase Shift)

Your epic should be Black Scorpion. (Web Grenade/Focused Accuracy.)

Any attacks you use should be slotted 4 mako/devastation and 2 damage procs, or 3 HO Nucleus & 3 damage procs.

It's true

Honestly, a ss/fire can do some srs disruption well-played, but suffers from the Range vs Melee disability. Web Nade + Taunt will cause some people to hate you. Which is good, considering, if they hate you, you're doing something right.

I threw something together for you. Shouldn't do too bad, but could be improved a bit if you spent more then 5 min on it leik I did.

This would be what I'd be using if I PvP spec'd my SS/Fire, but as others have said you need to think of yourself as a team support rather than a team leader.

That would be like trying to fit a square into a circular hole. Brutes lack any real offensive damage.
