Anyone got a build for one of these? and how do you think this will do in zone and against a regen scrapper, wether it be DM/regen or KM/regen or Kat/regen or areana. I can put alot of money into this toon, including 52 ribos

I played a SS/Elec brute almost exclusively in PvP since villains was released (zone and a fair amount of arena, even on test). Over the issues I respecd, retooled and never gave up trying to make it work (im stubborn and I like the toon). Eventually sinking 10 billion into the "final" build.

I highly suggest you try another toon, re reroll as an elec/ss tanker if you must play this type of toon. Best bet is as a taunt bot. My final build actually had two taunts and web nade, was very annoying to play against. It was fairly effective even in team PvP. But not very rewarding. Tankers would taunt better (with the inherent), be tougher out of the box (I had nearly 2300 HPs on my brute, tankers hit that easy). Also tankers will provide more damage in most PvP, its rare you build much fury.

So basically dont do what I did and waste all your resources on a sub par toon. Brutes arent worth the investment. Honestly Id spread the love and pick a few toons you like, take em into zones and enjoy. Dont put all your eggs in one basket cause you will regret it.

It's not to late to reroll to a tank, can I get your brute build? I was thinking about taking FS for stalkers and so i can do PvE pretty easy

Recently deleted the toon but I can give you some idea. Also I built it staminaless before stamina was inherent. And before incarnates.

This was the powers, but slotting and IOs changed dramatically before I was finished (have some buddies from vent real good with builds and PvP).

I found two taunts put me at an advantage over other taunt bots and especially in small team arena or zone. In the end I had no damage anyways, so why bother. Build for what I was good at. Annoyance. I wanted taunt, challenge, webnade, hurl up asap (elec is good for recharge). I found power sink was nice but you can do away with it. I needed it for staminaless build.

Remember to put enough KB IOs in the build. Sorry I dont have the finished product for you to see.
