Now for the build:
1) Drop Barrage.
2) You can put off taking stamina for a while to help move up some other powers.
3) If you're going to go for a defense-oriented build, weave is nice. Otherwise, all it's really going to help you with is closing that elemental hole you have.
4) consider getting Elec-Fences. Those NPCs doing the drunk-walk are going to be wandering out of RTTC range, which is a bad thing. In fact, this is the one thing concern about this combo - the lack of AoE to hold aggro easily on a set that thrives on aggro, but has a weak taunt aura. You may need taunt. But hey, you're dropping barrage, right?
5) You took buildup fairly late. It's not terribly important but it's nice if you're wanting to get a nice burst of damage.
As for IO's, you're going to have to give me a budget, and the overall build goals.
+HP/Regen is going to be important, but you may want to add some defense onto your build. This means using kinetic combats, which can be expensive if you use the triple in that set.
What you'll do is use 4 of the kinetic combat for 3.75% Smashing/Lethal defense and use a 5th/6th slot for either a generic accuracy IO or something like Crushing Impact's Acc/Dam/Rech or Mako's Acc/End/Rech or Acc/Dam/End/Rech. You'll want better accuracy.
Leveling up, get a kismet +6% accuracy (to-hit) and slot that ASAP into combat jumping. You'll be glad you got it.
For your armors, grab Reactive Armor and 4-slot them. That gives you 1.25 Smashing/Lethal + Negative/Energy defense. You'll put those in Tough and Mind over Body.
They're expensive, but the LOTG set is ideal in your defensive toggles. Think of those as long-term investments.
The Numina set is nice in +HP and +Regen powers. It gives you +HP and +12% regen. Use generic health IO's until you can afford these.
4-slotting stamina/quick recovery with performance shifter (proc, end mod and 2 end mod/??) is the ideal.
3-slotting thunderstrike and 2-3 slotting devastation into Mu Lightning offers 2.5% nrg/neg defense and 12% regen/+HP. Plus the devastation hold proc is just amusing when it fires on anything below a boss.
Positron's Blast is the common choice in Ball Lightning. I'd probably use it in Elec Fences too (your immob will be perma with the recharge of Posi)
Tonality, thank you for the fast reply.
As far as budget, that would be whatever I can make on this toon. I'm decent at making money on blue side, but red side has been more challenging.
The main goal of this toon is to get to 50 prior to I17 so that I can earn a VEAT the old fashion way (by getting to 50). Once I get to 50 I'll look to do some form of a strong damage/survivability type character with a full IO build. Soloing an AV or two has always been on my list, but mostl likely I will make a different toon for that (as I understand this combo may not be the best for it).
I also plan on weaving some MA stories into this toon, which is part of the concept, but that has little to do with build/leveling.

Hello Brute community. So I have a project in mind that involves an EM/WP brute and fast leveling. I know EM is not the most favored set, but I wanted it for concept reasons. I am new to brutes, outside of just low level tinkering, and was hoping I could get some help. Here are the questions I have.
On the basic template below, how is my power selection and timing of power selection (I'm level 5 already)?
How would I slot these powers with SO enhancements and when should I focus what slots where(I'm new to both sets)?
Are there any IO's I should be looking for on while leveling?
I know those are rather broad questions, but like I said I'm new to these sets. I appreciate any help or tips provided. Also, if it helps, I mostly solo PVE.
