If you keep the spawn size set to x2 or x3 the Energy/Wp would make an excellent badger. I have the combination as a tanker as a badger and he's never let me down. Perma-stunning + rise to the challenge makes boss and eb fights cakewalks, and the lack of aoe isn't a huge factor in badging.
Elec/Shield would be a better farmer, long term, so if you want a character that does it all the elec/shield with a bunch of inf thrown at it might be more your style. Personally, I keep character roles seperate so I have a reason to play them at 50. Elec/shield takes quite a while to mature, however, where em/wp is solid for badging even when Oro'd down to level 1.
Weight training: Because you'll never hear someone lament "If only I were weaker, I could have saved them."
I've always wanted to have a toon to badge hunt. So I figured why not a brute considering I love the AT so much.
I have two brutes one is a EM/WP(23) and the other is a Ele/SD(31) which one would be better as far as survivability and fun to badge hunt with?
Anyone have any experience with either design to give me some advice?
