Looking for some help with BATTLE AXE/WILLPOWER build

1) Battle Axe sucks. WP is mediocre.
2) Build for lots and lots of hit points. As many as you can fit in.
3) Get some acc (40-60% global acc should be fine for your purposes)
4) Get phase, and possibly aid self now that fitness is inherent. Also get SS and SJ
5) Get taunt and web nades.
Thanks Dave,
Question though. Are you able to show me perhaps or is there a COHMIDS planner file I can d/l to check out a BEST possible BA/WP build? What do you think is the best build for a Brute overall both for PvE and PvP? Cuz right now with my current build NO IO sets, im doing fairly well against mobs due to RISE TO THE CHALLENGE and the other self regen auto powers

Best build is of course subjective, what is it exactly you want to do?
Edit to clarify: What kind of PvP do you want to engage in?

If you are using Latin in your post you are probably trolling

To add to this: get rid of RttC for PvP and pick up tough if you can.

the fact that mod 08 did not go ..."HAHAHAHOMG HAHAHA BATTLE AXE"
says a lot.
i would not put a penny into a ba/wp build for pvp - pve it up and save your money for a good pvp toon you will get enjoyment out of .
well one vs one, but I do enjoy PvP'ing with multiple opponents say on a map like Siren's Call, i'll even try out Recluse's Victory since i'm lvl 50
Mod 8 is correct. RTTC is nothing in pvp as it is in pve. It will detoggle if a butterfly farts in japan. This change happend in i13. Made my brute almost worthless. I still manage to have fun, but everytime RTTC detoggles my soul dies a little bit more.
Here's a build I whipped up in about 20 minutes. I am sure it can be improved, cause I didn't really look at it too much. It has a pretty good amount of hp (175% bonus, coming out to 2634). It has phase and aid self. You really shouldn't die on it. I know I told you to take web nades earlier, and thats what you do to benefit a team most, but I get the impression you are a more casual player, and probably want to be able to do dmg. So, I took fossilize on the build, and triple procced it. Cleave is quad-procced. Those are going to be your heavy hitters. Chop is double procced if you need a quicker attack, and you also have the immob, but thats DoT dmg.
The negatives:
Battle axe will always be inferior to sets like SS
The build is a little light on accuracy, and doesn't have tactics. As such, youll want to team with an emp and have them give you fort and CM. If you cant find a team with semi-competent players, bring in some yellows or something. Or don't attack defense based characters.
There's definitely ways to improve this build, so if you're willing to plop down several billion, send me a PM and I'll hook you up with an upgraded version. Although, like others have previously stated, BA/WP is not a toon worth a huge investment in PvP.
Oh yeah, don't skimp on accos. They're important.

doesn't it de stealth stalkers? that would seem kind of beneficial in pvp :?
I never heard that it did. And from my experience it sure doesn't. The worst thing is, it seems everything detoggles it. So there have been times I didn't even notice it wasn't on.
I have a lvl 50 brute Battle Axe/Willpower, and I am deciding what IO sets to spend the money on to squeeze as many set bonuses as I can into him to contribute to his stats. Anyone interested in giving me some hints/pointers, even showing me where i can download a sample build would be MOST helpful. Please dont hold back any punches, any constructive cristism is welcome, I really want to improve my toon.
Thanks again!!
