Help me, I die. (/fire)

I havent played my brute in a while (not this one at least). He is Elec/Fire and I just cant solo +0/*8 mission, in groups I just keep dying again and again and again.
I have all /fire toggles, darkest night, tough and weave running, my end is crying but I just keep dying over and over, cant even build fury.

Post your build.

Can you post your build so I can look at it? I have an Elec/Fire myself and generally don't have any problem running 0/x8 with him against most enemy groups.

On mine I skipped Weave and went for +recharge and +health on IO's. I also went Mu to make Burn more useful. /FA is a squishy set on Brutes and you have to pay close attention to your health bar and you want Healing Flames to be up when you need it.

Thats for the powers, I'm not online and dont remember exactly what slot is where (or the exect order of the powers). I will post if it matters.

Helps to add enhancements to characters, makes them do stuff better. So try enhancing your toon, might help.

As for those said enhancements, you could try this build on for size.

As the above posters have mentioned, slotting enhancements will greatly help your toon's survivability. My main, a ss/fa brute is an absolute beast farming +3/8 with over a billion worth of enhancements. Obviously not everyone dumps this much into a toon, but good builds don't necessarily need to break the bank. I would also move to the Mu patron as is suggested in some of the builds above. That extra AoE damage is very nice. Also, never underestimate the all around goodness of popping a couple purples before jumping in and taking all that aggro. They drop often, so you may as well eat them like candy. Early on this helps ALOT since you are not "killing at full speed" like you will be when slotted to absolute potential.
