It looks like you're mixing melee defense (Obliteration) with S/L defense (Kinetic Combat) which is a waste of slots. Only your highest applicable defense category is taken into account when you are attacked, and most melee attacks have a S/L component to them, so the melee defense is wasted.
If you are sure you want Electric/Fire, search the forums for Fiery Aura builds and adapt a good one to work for Electric Melee.
Well I was using the oblits because while the melee def was higher for them they still geve the best s/l def I could get for those powers.
I will look around the forums see if I can't find something thxs.
I decided on my Elec/FA scrapper to ignore defense and go all out on recharge. BU>FE>LR>Burn>Fire Ball is enough to kill everything. Everything. Ok, maybe there will be some bosses left over, but since the FE buff lasts longer than Build Up you can lay down a Thunder Strike and some ST attacks (I suggest Gloom since you're on a Brute) to finish off the survivors.
Feel free to build the way you want, but IMO the strength of Elec/Fire is getting those AoEs to recharge as fast as humanly possible. A dead spawn can't fight back and you end up having to make so many build concessions on an elec/fire to build for defense it starts to not be worth it anymore.
Here's a somewhat expensive build for you to consider. Power choices and slotting are pretty solid. It's perma-hasten with the Spiritual Core Paragon.

got this build for a brute yes i know scrappers forum yada yada but you guys seem so to have a lot of knowledge. I finished the build then realized I hadn't slotted burn so any recomendations would really help. What I was shooting for was smash/lethal 1 purple away from the soft cap with some recharge and hp on the side.
Thanks for any help!
