I had posted asking for a budget build a month or two ago for a WM/SD brute. Here's the link:

Deus posted what I would consider to be a very nice build for it and Twilight Snow posted a good "budget" build. So far, I'm about halfway through making the budget build (Level 44) and it's sturdy, fun, and good against single hard targets or lots of small targets. Congrats on 50! When I get home tonight, I'll take Deus's code and export the actual build to this post.

I don't know about godlike, but here's mine. Worth noting that I haven't respecced to account for I19, so I don't yet have Combat Jumping, Grant Cover, or Superior Conditioning. Need to do that sometime.

Likely going for the Cardiac line for Alpha.

Here's the build that Deus gave in my post. I'll leave the decision as to whether it's godlike or not up to you . As I said earlier, I'm only about halfway to finishing the "budget" build. But with one small purple, I'm at the defense softcap. With no means of healing myself outside of inspiration drops, I still feel pretty sturdy in most situations (Devouring Earth emanators are an exception, multiple venge'd nemesis would be the other but they're not really as bad).
