With some different slotting, softcapped to all positions.
It should at least give you some ideas to work from.

Thank you, Deus, for this interesting build! I plan on making it the basis for my respec this week. And with Fitness being inherent there is now room to pick up additional powers that don't require much slotting like One with the Shield and Superspeed.|

Is there any particular reason you picked Hurl over the other distance attacks available in the Energy epic power?
Probably because it does more damage by a good bit.
Personally, I went for Soul. Can't beat Gloom doing more damage than Haymaker, and Dark Oblit is a good followup to Footstomp + Shield Charge, especially with a Chance for Knockdown purple in it.

And taunt, I'd grab that as well while you're at it.|

Forcing groups to clump up, at a -75 ranged penalty so they can all be within radius of Foot stomp & Shield Charge is worth it even if you only ever solo.

But the main reason is because the OP had it in their build, and I copied their power selection exactly - the only difference is how it's all slotted.
Hope that helps.
This is my current live build for my SS/shield brute done on the cheap

@Blast
I've been working on a build for a Super Strength / Shield Defense Brute, and here's what I came up with. This is the closest I could get to have both melee defense and ranged defense soft-capped. Any advice?
