Here's a levelling build for my current DB/WP Brute. It uses common IOs and relies on Ninja Run + Sprint instead of a traditional movement power. It's a cheap build for general teaming - nothing special, just competent.
When Fitness goes inherent, the build will presumably have four power choices open. I'm likely to add Combat Jumping, Recall Friend, Hasten and Super Speed. None require slotting on this build (CJ is a good mule, though, and Hasten loves recharge), so they'll be very helpful.

Unfortunately I have never been able to pass 35 as a DB/WP brute. I've tried 3 times, too... I hit 35 and it's a wall. That's just me though. o_O
That said, the damage on DB is pretty spectacular if you're a whiz with lining up and positioning for melee AoE. Vital Strike combo is a great one, especially with Fury involved, and Sweep is no pushover either.
The tankability of Willpower is excellent as it always is, but remember not to get cocky and go in over your head.
My guides:Dark Melee/Dark Armor/Soul Mastery, Illusion Control/Kinetics/Primal Forces Mastery, Electric Armor
"Dark Armor is a complete waste as a tanking set."
Hi all, I don't usually ask about builds, preferring to just build a character I like without worrying about if two powers don't work well together, but I'm starting to feel I'm not getting the most out of my characters, so I figured I'd start by asking for advice on how I should build my new Brute.
I've created a Dual Blades/Willpower Brute, and after getting him to level 6, I'm starting to think this could be a really good combination if I built it right, but I don't really know how.
I've gotten Nimble, Ablating, and Typhoon as my current attack powers, and Tolerance and MoB as my defensives, does anyone have any advice as to how I should proceed with powers and enhancements, or should I try and get more of a setup before I start focusing on how best to set him up?
Oh, and if it helps, I'm a PvE player.
I'm hoping that if i can get a good idea for a build here, I can modify it around, and maybe start to learn more about how to manage my own builds, so if people could give me advice on how to proceed, I'd really appreciate it, thanks!
