The tank will do better in just about every type of pvp short of toe to toe fiteklub
Brutes are now obsolete in pvp
I would agree with truedarklord... Brutes suck in pvp. Tanks survive better and scrappers/Stalkers do way more damage. Brutes are a kind of low damage half tank. Good luck building fury unless you fiteclub.
Range is the way to go anyways... But hey I have a semi IO'd scrapper for the fun and lulz so knock yourself out. Ss/fire at least has rage and firey embrace to give you some extra damage.
I use to see several Fire/SS tanks in PvP, and they seemed to do quiet well. So I was wondering about a SS/Fire Brute, are they good for PvP? Probably what SS/Fire/Stone? what about for incarnate choice? Maybe added dmg, acc. or more resis? Also would there be much difference in a build with these powers for zone and/or arena?
