Most attacks have S/L in them. Soft capping S/L on invuln also caps you to everything that has a S/L component...
SS/SD is great... I have one. SS/WP is great... I have one. On teams, i prefer the /WP. The /wp is not even capped, though S/L is 38%. I like my fire/wp better than both... and it is a scrapper. (I refuse to remake it as a brute...)
YMMV---IMO

Just throwing it out there...find brute you like it and use that one. But for the original post, the best is probably one already mentioned (ss/sd, ss/wp,ss/...) I personally use a stone/stone brute, uber surviable with decent damage, and built for +run speed and capped resists, not the L33T, but I like to play him 
and ultimately thats what I feel counts
MeiLaLan's build looks like a great example, as far as I can tell without having mids on this computer. In your last one you were spending too many slots on defensive powers to get to softcap. It is easy to get to softcap by using the Maco's, ToD's, Oblit's, etc. and it isn't gimping your single target damage that way.
thank you very much mei,that build looks very nice

Heh. Seriously... what the heck? You took one of the highest DPA powers in the game for a brute and didn't slot it with damage? I know Against All Odds and Rage are giving it a huge damage boost anyways but even so that's passing up a fair bit of damage bonus.

I'd take a slot of out CJ or maneuvers, put that into KoB, and then move one of the 42s into gloom

Make an Elec/Invul brute. Huge AoE and alot of def and res. Crazy fun for speed team with buffs.
My Claws/Fire does wonderful.
Enjoy your day please.
to anyone who is watchin this thread and is wondering my progress,im at lvl 43 and i LOVE him he rips thru mob with ease NOW,i cant imagine how well he will do once fully enhanced,i was a little discouraged because i made a elec/sheild scrapper (for the two massive aoe's) and wasnt to fond of him but now all my doubts are gone,im sure ill love this toon
Hes a little heavy on the END but im sure thatl be fixed once enhanced
------------------------------------------------------

here is a SM/SR build. I'm not saying SS is not great because it really is. I just have 3 SS brutes already, and wanted to share something different then an SS brute. Here is my build for you all to look at copy, make, or comment on.

Didn't people advise you to look at Invuln, in this very thread?
If a shield isn't tough enough (and on a brute, it is a LOT of work to make one tough enough) then invuln in the cure for your problems.
Of course, you're giving up a lot of damage for that. So pick your poison.
Or, just go incarnate that sucker. I'm pretty sure there's a good heal/regen power in there that'll go a long way toward fixing your woes, and the -damage nuke won't hurt either.

Granite or Invulnerability *Tankers* with hardcapped smash/lethal resistance can get overwhelmed in an ITF if you're not paying attention and let the -def build up. Best thing to do, even softcapped, is to display your base defense and as soon as it drops leap out of the spawn for a few seconds to preserve your softcap. Those Romans had to work really hard to drop it in the first place - don't let them capitalize on it when a few seconds of them running to get to you again will erase all their hard work.
