Dark/Dark.

To me, SS/Elec just defines what Brutes are all about.
Elec was originally the powerset unique for Brutes(and stalkers) and its design was especially made for them. The Elec Armor concept is letting you go non-stop, which is also what Fury is all about.
SS just screams brutish. Rage, devastating punches, screen shakes, all that good stuff. The heavy endurance nature of SS makes it a perfect fit with Elec.

Ever.
Seriously, don't do it.

The general "I want to smash things and never look at my health/end bar" build is SS/WP. Or Elec/WP.
Fire/Shield can delivery some honktakulous damage.
Though I disdain the combo, the most damaging, smashtastic Brute is a SS/FA, by all accounts.
If it were me? SS/EA.

Isn't that a contradiction in terms? I mean, "grind" certainly implies tedium and un-funnes, doesn't it?

Indeed... there are certain upsides! Plus Stone Melee looks pretty cool too. In fact, I am tempted to roll one, maybe with a lava/steam type theme.

Endurance is one reason I haven't yet created said brute. I'm hoping I can help offset it by slotting up some help as soon as possible; Miracle and Perf.Shifter at level 17, and a Numina's at level 27.

i started a war mace/elec and am finding it really fun. i didnt pick the set for the damage aura, but its turned out to be really nice. i know resistance based def sets are generally considered weaker, but it hasnt impacted on the fun. plus lightning reflexes is great.

Resist sets have never been outperformed by Defense sets when it comes to my characters. My non-soft-capped-to-anything Dark Armor Brute stomps more face and takes more hits than my softcapped-to-all-positions Shield tanker.

Just gotta pick your battles more carefully on straight resists vs defense (and STILL have to pick your battles on certain S/L defense sets. Just less so.)
I'm in the "S/L capped" club though, as I love having S/L layred on resists layred on regen (WillPower, [or Invul for S/L + Resists, mainly])
