I had some success on my fire armor brute grabbing tough/weave and stacking melee defense with touch of death. Others might recommend grabbing a layer of S/L defense with kinetic combat and reactive armor, but that will take a pretty hefty inf investment for the KC's nowadays. Through IO stacking, steadfast 3%, weave, and combat jumping, you can get to the mid 30's in defense without breaking your bank completely. Between that, the extra resists in tough, and as much +recharge as you can afford to squeeze in for healing flames, you should be pretty set.
So i have a lvl 50 fire/fire brute that needs some attention, i really love this toon but he is so damn squishy it's a joke.
I want him to be my main and be able to take him on SF's and join in the end game fun, and maybe a lttle farming, but at the moment i have to decline invites because if i go up against anything more than +0 he dies really quickly and is not much help.
I have about 300 million inf to use on IO's but i dont have mids as i am on Mac, any help will be really apreciated.
