Roll up a Widow. They can solo EBs/AVs, and they've got all kinds of neato powers. They might not be the best farmers, but they're very cool. I mean, come on! you can make it either a Toxic DoT Claws/SR Scrapper or a Psy/SR Blaster, basically.
Too many alts to list.

Alternate builds 1, 2, and now 3, you can have both and a PvP build, too.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I think I'll make a NW with that last slot I have (made an elec/psi domi and a fire/cold corr as well)
That SS/Fire Brute can be turned into something crazy good. Somebody recently soloed the STF with one of those. Before issue 20.
In case you're not entirely sold on the Widow, I'll throw out my personal favorite: The MFing Warshade. My warshade was, hands down, the most enjoyable experience I've ever had playing City of Heroes.

The guide I've written is in my signature.
| At its height, The MFing Warshade will have 300% damage bonus, 85% resist all, well over 50% tohit bonus, three damage dealing pets in tow, a ranged AoE attack chain, and the ability to refill both bars more often than I blink. It can also perma stun ten targets, perma hold one, and even stun bosses in a single shot. It has mez protection with an 80% hitpoints bonus on demand. It can even shrug off defeat twice every five minutes. |
Where to now?

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
(and yea, wouldn't take suggestions on things I could do with current toons too)
Oh really Munki? I'll have to look into that eventually, but right now he'll 100% for bringing home the bread
Dechs, I'm not yet to be honest, and I've never even almost played a HEAT, sounds wicked fun though...

Why not all of the above? You've already got a stormy and a rad, try some Dark Miasma. Dark/Psi defender maybe.

With an endless amount of T3 insps, so that's more about the player than the combo.|

Still, SS/Fire is the most popular Brute for a reason.

Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.
So I just came back after almost a year and I'm looking for something to play, new doesn't necessarily mean I want to make a new character, maybe just play an old one.
My biggest problem is that I don't know what I want, fun new toon to level, AV/GM soloer, TF beast/soloer, fun, solo friendly, team friendly etc...
So to make it a little easier I'll throw up a list of (most) of what I have so far (over 40) and what I've done with them/would like to do...
I've also started leveling a few things for new farming/high end/ridiculous soloing, but they aren't quite high enough yet (bots/traps, son/rad, maybe ill/rad, fire/psi dom). DP/EM blaster was really fun, but only got to lvl 6 so idk...
lvl 50 Fire/Shields Scrapper - my new main, beast at farming, can solo AVs (though his build needs updating), tears through content (though much better at 45+ for his enhs etc.) and I've loved it the whole ride
lvl 50 Mind/Fire Dom - PVP for a while, permadom, great solo, helped on team stuff
lvl 50 Sonic/Therm Corr - 2nd therm to 50, almost purely pvp but even that build helps teams
lvl 50 SS/Invuln Brute - 1st brute, very basic but really liked the combination and he got fun
lvl 50 Elec/WP Stalker - 2nd stalker, 100% PvP
lvl 50 Thugs/Psn MM - great on teams, was a blast to level, but didn't sell me 100% on mms, still amazing
lvl 50 Sonic/Storm Corr - was designed for PvP, but was/is still a blast in team stuff if I want a change, plus is IOed way out
lvl 50 SS/Fire Broot - farmer at the moment, not very good at anything else yet
lvl 50 Psi/EM Blaster - pvp ioed blaster, hits hard enough if I feel like playing a blaster though
lvl 50 Grav/TA Troller - can't really say much, was designed and leveled for pvp but has never really been played or enhanced much, is very different from most of my stuff if I feel like playing it though
lvl 50 Spines/Fire Scrap - really wanted to try the mass aoe of the combination but haven't played it too much, SOs
lvl 50 Em/Nin Stalker - first 50, loved it at the time, but other than early pvp and ghosting stuff was TERRIBLE, still one of my favorites though he has been gutted
lvl 50 Rad/Therm Corr - first corr, combination pvp and high end pve support, but not sure if I would play him anymore now that I have the sonic...
lvl 50 Sonic/EM Blast - made for a change of pace from the psi, but haven't played a whole lot
lvl 50 Kat/WP Scrap - designed to solo high end task forces and also just be fun and terribly survivable, but hasn't been played much and is unenhanced
lvl 50 Fire/Kin Troller - made for farming back in the day and is still primarily enhanced for that, but don't play anymore with the fire/shield
lvl 49.8 Fire/Rad Corr - got 90% of it's xp from an 8 man fire/rad corr team and was really fun for that, was then later enhanced for perma hasten and am and was amazing solo or for TFs
lvl 44 Fire/Emp Troller - an emp, was leveling for pvp but an emp never hurts
