Well if I were in your shoes, Jakarr, it would be wise to build 2 seperate builds. one for farms and the other soft-capped because trying to get both on one build is almost impossible (imo) but build the farming build with Vengeance toggled on Mids and then build useful attacks around it with enough bonus buffs from sets that will soft-cap it as well as you are basically building for recharge. More recharge the better the results within a farm which = to faster kills and faster kills = exit and repeat much quickly.
There is one build I've seen posted on "Archetypes & Powers/Brutes" that came very near of the best of both worlds, farming and pve content. Here is that web-adress to that build here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=250429
I hope this helps. And for my farming build, here is that web-address too: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=254925
Hope this help as well.

Farming on a brute is all about recharge, getting burn stomp and fireball up very quickly is what kills...errr arrests the mobs quickest :P
many say slot for defence but its very meh when u can just pop 2 lucks and ur at the softcap......which means MORE RECHARGE BONUSES!!!
and also means u can get concealment which is 3 LoTGs compared to leaderships 2

[Union Chat]Damz: hey cyber, i am your naked pope for the evening, please confess to me my child
Building a SS/Fire Brute and looking to to do a balance between Farming and Regular play so looking for something that is 1 purple away from Softcap and with enough recharge I can keep a perma-haste maybe a little more. The APP and Hover/Fly are optional. Limit purple sets to 1 maybe 2 if any. Here is my first try at a build. While I could run 2 builds one for farming and one for regular play I would like to try to make a good all round build.
