can you post what you have so far?
Here's a build that has done pretty well for me. I don't have a PvP +def IO to put in strength of will, but if I did it would soft cap S/L defense, and come close to your other numbers, depending on how you define close.

What are your goals? I can see some things that could be improved, but I don't know if they will take you where you want to go.
One issue I see is the Discouraging Words set. You could use those same three slots in Brawl to add another Kinetic Combat set to push yourself over the soft-cap. The to-hit debuff isn't worth enhancing.
Maneuvers is under-slotted. Generally, it is more efficient to slot toggles before relying on set bonuses.
I think aiming for 45% S/L defense has stretched your build too thin. You don't quite have perma-Hasten with the tier 4 Spiritual Alpha, and your main attack chain will have horrible accuracy against +4's when Soul Drain is not affecting you. Soul Drain's recharge without the Spiritual Alpha has about 10 seconds of downtime. The accuracy on Soul Drain against +4s is so low that you could end up missing entirely against small groups or in single-AV fights and leave your attack chain missing a lot.
Siphon Life could be enhanced for healing but you lack the slots.
Procs in your attacks contribute a decent amount of DPS.
I would aim for 32.5% S/L and E/N defenses. That puts you one inspiration away from the soft-cap and gives you more flexibility in making your build. Getting to 45% S/L defense is overrated when it means you sacrifice your DPS, in my opinion.

I am not looking to make a top DPS toon, if that was the case then I wouldnt be choosing either of these pools. I am looking to build a toon that can tank if needed, but also has reasonable damage. I liked my MA/Wp scrap, but the lack of self heal was a gaping hole. Dark Melee fills that hole, and also works well with the addition of to-hit debuffs. I will prob work the numbers to be at 40% S/L defense, and let the debuffs push me the rest of the way.

Here's a build I'm running for a FM/SD Scrapper. The goal was to try and make it as inexpensive as possible, hence the number of generic IOs. It can be ported identically for a Brute. If you choose to go Mu then you'll lose the ST hold from Pyre, and you'd lose that set of Thunderstrike. I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to make that up somewhere else.

The problem with that theory is the debuffs are resisted by higher ranked and higher level foes. A +4 AV only receives something like 15% of a to-hit debuff. At that point, you will need an inspiration to soft-cap.|

If your goal is to tank when needed, 32.5% defense is enough. One inspiration gets you to 45% and lasts one minute. You can carry 20 of them, which guarantees you will last for 20 minutes before you need to combine to make more. No single encounter in the game lasts that long (Hamidon doesn't count), so there is always a chance to buy more at a hospital. What else are you going to use inspirations for? I hope you don't think healing inspirations are better than mitigation, or that you will need blues for endurance on a Willpower character.
Doing top damage is more about your attack chain than anything else. It is fairly easy on a DM Brute to run a good attack chain because you can add Gloom to the mix. A chain like Gloom -> MG -> Smite -> Gloom -> SL -> Smite is fairly easy to get the recharge to run it. Getting to perma-Hasten ensures you can always run your best attack chain. It also gets you enough recharge to keep Soul Drain on as often as possible.
In case you missed it in my first post, your accuracy against +4's is going to be horrible. Siphon Life and Smite have a 67% hit chance with 0 buffs from Soul Drain. Soul Drain has a 68% chance to hit. You really need 95% chance to hit on Soul Drain so you don't miss your other attacks on +4's. You will feel useless if you keep missing, and there is a good chance your team will notice the lack of damage or taunting due to Willpower's pathetic taunt aura.
Ok here is the FM/SD build I have put together, seems rock solid. Having made a shield tank and scrapper before it all comes together rather easy. 46% defense M/Rng/AoE Uncertain on incarnate choice, will most likely be Cardiac.

i want her to be a farmer a good one too.i want her to be really good like she is a farming god.
Quote:
There are at least 26 threads, not posts, but threads about SS/FA. If you dont see any on the first page of the forums, go to page 2 or 3, you will find plenty of build advice. As for DM/WP I can go deep into the forums and not see a single thread about them, nor any posted builds. So good luck!|

I'd also like to throw my hat in the ring and say that it's probably best to shoot for 32.5. I've managed to make a Kat/WP Scrapper that's softcapped to everything damagewise except Smashing and Psi. She's very sturdy for the most part, but her damage is so anemic I realized that I essentially made a HP-lite Tank out of her.

Damn got so close... I didn't gimp the attacks but this build has no AoE - 44.8% s/l, capped e/n (well you could cap with stealth as the final power but I'm not a fan of this solution)

I have been combing these forums for several days trying to find builds for 2 different toons, but luck has not been with me. I need builds for a DM/WP and FM/SD brutes. I know these builds dont seem to hard to come up with on my own, but cant seem to get the numbers right. I will explain..
I made a MA/WP scrapper some months back, and was able to get all my numbers together with greta ease, good regen (719% w/ 1 target), 54% resist, 46% S/L def, 36% E/N/F/C, 26% Psi def (no purples). But I cant seem to get near those numbers on this DM/WP. I have scrapped the build several times with no better luck with the next build attempt.
I have several shield toons, all of which have met the basic numbers need but would like to see other peoples builds when it comes to a shield brute, esp mixed with fire melee.
Thanks in advance,
JV/Val
