bump
My advice would be threefold:
1.) Have two separate builds. One for agricultural engineering and one for normal PvE play. Trying to do both will leave you with a build that isn't optimized for either.
2.) Don't try to just cram in a bunch of S/L defense unless you plan on hitting the softcap. Even then, make sure you aren't making sacrifices to your build. Brutes are massive damage dealers, and your attacks aren't slotted nearly well enough to do what you should be doing. Try to aim for about 32.5% S/L defense so that one small purple inspiration will softcap you in most PvE situations. Trying to get your E/NE defense up to around that level would be nice as well, but it is incredibly difficult for Fiery Aura due to no native defenses. 20% E/NE defense would be a good number to hit as well. Two small purples will get you to the softcap, and inspirations fall from the sky nowadays.
3.) If you really want to be an agricultural engineer with this character, then go for it. However, Battle Axe is not a well known damage dealing primary. You stated it's for concept reasons, so I am inclined to believe this character would be better suited for PvE gameplay over sowing the soil. However, as I said, this is your character and you gotta do what you enjoy.
Last I remember Panacea was stupendously expensive so you might want to reconsider using that.
I'm not a fan of Axe/FA because of the redraw with Healing Flames and Burn, but if you can look past that then there's nothing wrong about it.
I'd disagree with the above assessment of slotting. Kinetic Combat is excellent for attacks for Brutes. More damage is nice but Fury is going to make up for a lot of that anyway. The amount of +accuracy you have from sets is more than enough to get over the low base accuracy in Kinetic Combat too.
Minor detail here but you should not put a def/end into Combat Jumping when you have Manouvers so underslotted right now. Move it across!
so i altered my build and it just looked a whole lot worse =/
Post it and lets see what you've come up with. Let us know specifics, such as how much you are wanting to spend on the build, powers you enjoy, powers you don't enjoy, and what sort of concept you are trying for. We can help you out with more specific information given by you.
After reading more about axe i decided to change to dark meele which still fits in with my concept.
Build is a bit dodgy though :S

My attempt at a farmer-esque build. I have chosen axe for concept reasons.
I am torn between going cardiac for more res which would take my smash/lethal from 50.9 to 56.9, fire from 69.3 to 77.4 etc. Plus the end red would be a god send...without it id use 1.95/s :S with it 1.45/s.
then theres nerve which takes my smash/lethal from 41.8 to 43.2 and meele from 41.5 to 42.9.
Any advice would be fantastic!
