Anything will work provided you play it smart and use inspirations, accolades, etc... Stone is probably your best bet for a secondary given your criteria though most of the RSFs I've done lately have had either a /Fire or /Shield as the lead (or only) Brute and there's zero issue, though those teams are usually stacked and filled with people who know what they're doing.

Stone is too boring for me, too slow with too many downfalls. I like the Idea of /Fire for damage but im going to need something that can really tank so whats your thoughts on /invul or /EA?|

EM/EA
EM/Invul
FM/EA
FM/Invu
How about those?l
EA will be comparatively weak and suck for holding aggro. Invuln is your better choice, pretty much on both of those fronts. There isn't any one Brute build that will completely stall the FP single-handedly, other than possibly an extremely purpose-built WP which runs into the aggro control issue (less so than EA however) and performance hits to factors outside of survival (though probably not noticeably so with Fury). Your team is there for a reason.
Primary doesn't really matter with regards to AVs but FM would be my first choice between those two sets you're looking at. If you wanted additional survival, DM is the only set that will give a tangible return through Siphon Life. The -ToHit from DB and DM is more or less negligible against +3 AVs.
Blue: ~Knockback Squad on Guardian~
Red: ~Undoing of Virtue on [3 guesses]~
not really looking for the survival of DM however im just trying to figure out how the best brutes i have seen do the RSF were /ea before the buff to them. I would really like to go EM/ because i have a EM/Nin Stalker who is awesomesauce. So EM/Invul? any good build ideas for it, i.e. what should i be going for for bonuses?
actually instead of just putting /ea or /invul i could use any secondary just not really feeling the whole Granite idea. So if you all could just post what you have seen work best as a brute on the RSFs
There are a few issues with trying to come up with one perfect Brute for an RSF, since the last fight has a lot of things working against you if all of the AVs are aggroed.
If you really want just one character that you can play that will let almost any group beat an RSF, get a perma (or near perma) Mind Dominator. Unless your team is completely stupid (using an AoE and waking all of the sleepy AVs for example) it will be 7-on-1 and a cakewalk for them. Sure, your job mostly consists of jumping and using Mass Hypnosis the whole time, but you'll be "handling" all of the aggro from them.

Whats the most powerfull brute for holding aggro in a RSF, im trying to make something that will be able to hold up well even with a pug group. So in short i need something that wont be crushed with only having a couple of characters that know what there doing. Any thoughts or ideas will be extremely helpfull. Primary and Secondary please.
