Fine tuning my SS/FA/MU Brute.

EDIT: First off, this toon is currently made for pure AE farming. I had plan on taking full advantage of using a dead lowbie to vengeance as often as possible and only plan on facing off against mobs that do only fire damage. What I am wondering is if somebody would help me fine tune and tinker around a bit more with my build to help me achieve the following:

- A more hybrid build. Suitable for farming and standard content.
- Same if not greater amount of defense to S/L and/or Fire damage.
- Same if not greater amount of recharge.
- Lower endurance costs/ higher regeneration and recovery rates.
- A Travel power.
- KB protection.

Any and all suggestions, comments and criticisms are welcome. Thank you.

Here is my current build:

Judging from your listed build, money isn't really an issue. That said, you're mostly wasting your time with all the S/L. If all the enemies you're facing will have fire as at least one component of their damage, screw S/L defense, just focus on Fire defense. That is, as long as you'll always have one dead lowbie to push Vengeance off of. Veng will require a couple more slots for Membranes, but you can spare them in a few places by skipping focus on the S/L Defense.

Gotta go see X-Men, will peek back in later.

Check out this thread. There's a ton of ideas and builds, with varying amounts of offense and defense. More thoughts later.
