If you're primarily using the Brute to farm Nemesis I would certainly pick Weave over Temp Protection just for the extra LotG 7.5 slot alone. SS/Fire loves as much recharge as it can get. The extra bit of fire resistance is negligible and the slow resistance is unnecessary.

You don't need Temp Protection in PvE, at all.

Werx for me. Weave it is

You know what would be really cool is if they added some kb protection to it....I could only dream.

Doesn't really need it, IMO. One -KB IO will cover 90% of the stuff you'll come across in the game and it's not expensive at all.

If you are only farming nem, go for weave. I disagree that the power is worthless in pve entirely, though. The -recharge protection offered is still better than nothing, and the power is still a great IO mule.
Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.
"You're right...I forgot...being constantly at or the near the damage cap is a big turn off. Definitely not worth it."
- Vitality
Why not use the two slots on weave and put two more lotgs there to get more regen and hit points as well as the extra recharge? Just a thought.

I've got a good ss/fire brute going. I farm Nemesis with this guy and plan to until GR at which point I'm undecided what I will do. I've accumulated some wealth so looking to respec into some upgraded sets, but at the level 49 power I find myself torn between Temperature Protection and Weave.
Temperature Protection: Fire resistance, +1.5%HP Titanium Coating 3pc, takes -KB IO but I don't need it since I have -12KB elsewhere
VS
Weave: Defense (not great against Nemesis,) takes 7.5% recharge LotG IO, frees up 2 slots to place elsewhere
So in summary:
1.5% HP and good fire protection VS 7.5% recharge + 2 free slots
I'm leaning towards Weave for the +recharge, but wanted to make sure I wouldn't regret losing the extra fire protection. Thanks
