I'm working on soft-capping s/l on my DM/Elec Brute for TFs/Trials. Would love some suggestions or general criticism. Would love to make it even better.

Really? I doubt the build is that perfect...

Two more things:
Thinking about taking out Taunt for Dark Consumption. I can still slot it with the same sets, in the 49 spot, and 2-3 enemies re-fills my end. I am very end heavy.

Or I can just take the Cardiac alpha. Better end and more resists will make me a brute-tank.

Thoughts?

That build makes me wanna slot Siphon with the best slotting for dam, rech and heal, as well as slotting Stamina properly (Dark Consumption is on a very long timer and you already have Power Sink, I'm guessing your end woes come from 1-slotting Stam) but then I'd lose the s/l defense on Siphon. I just woke up and can't figure out how to keep your soft cap and doing my ideal Siphon slotting which is kinda bad for set bonuses, but I like it because Siphon is a great attack and Energize is not up often like say, Healing Flames or Recon. I'd swap the heal/end/rech in Energize for the Doct W Recharge, you're getting very similar numbers for heal and more recharge this way.

I'd also take L.Reflexes earlier than Maneuvers since you won't have the endurance to run all those toggles before power sink.

I did think about taking the +perception out of Tactics, so I can use that slot in Siphon Life for a heal IO or such...

The perception will help in RV, since I'll occasionally go there. But it shouldn't be a deal breaker. Decided on the Cardiac for the end and resists. I have plenty of recharge so spiritual would only help some, and make my end worse.

Yet again, with spiritual all my End clicks come up faster...choices, choices...

Well I took a long break so I'm still exploring Praetoria (just got GR too) so I don't know anything about Incarnate stuff yet (I only respecced one of my toons for inherent fitness and she's a 35, been rolling new alts)

But even with 3-slotted stamina and Power Sink (I'm running all your toggles at my level except maneuvers and weave) I had issues playing the toon I just respecced, which happens to be a Stone/Elec Brute, that's why I didn't pick Weave and Maneuvers yet, at this level I have almost no defense anyway (and then again I'm playing Stone Melee which is nightmarish on any blue bar). I'm even thinking about retooling the final build since my power sink is one slotted with an endmod/rech but maybe as I add more sets it'll be better and will come back faster.

I honestly think one of your problems is having stamina 1-slotted, but from what I read about Incarnate thingies you can have the Spiritual and there's something called Ageless that everyone says it solves all end problems (again just what I read from many people who didn't wanna go Cardiac, I know nothing about these things yet)
