Hi, guys. So, I've got this SS/ Stone brute I love playing, and I want him to be a really legitimate TF monster. I thought my build was pretty good, but then I did an ITF last night, and got my butt handed to me repeatedly by the Romans. It was like I was wearing tissue paper instead of my Granite Armor. So, please, look at my build, and tell me what I need to do/ add/ change/ whatever. I would like a build well-balanced for defense, run speed and recharge.

I have had no luck when it comes to purple recipe drops on any of my toons, so I have none for my build. I've been using Hero Merits to buy the LotG: Global Rchg recipes, which I have 5 of now, so I can save them to either buy other recipes for my build, or to sell and make Inf to buy purples. The other thing I want to get is the +DEF PVP IO. That being said, I'd rather deal with what I have or can easily get now, instead of planning far ahead for when I can get full sets of purples to slot in.
