Well for a buffer, I would have probably picked Empathy, Sonic, Thermal, or FF.
Actually now that I think about it, sonic would be pretty good. Get them to have full inviz, running the debuff aura on you, following you with the AOE shield. Make it a defender, and I think you could easily cap damage resist to all but psi, by switching boxes and applying barrier and haven to your self.
An empathy defender with stealth could be nice for Fort (defense, damage) and adrenaline boost, not to mention heals.
Cold defender for max hp, defense, and approach stealth.
If you unlock controller on the f2p account then Fire/Time with Hotfeet, Time's Juncture, Temporal Mending, Farsight, and the ally buff. Or maybe an Illusion Empathy controller for full stealth, the empathy buffs and heals, plus deceive and PA. Or Ill/Cold.

The question is about a 2nd box, not what character would be most effective to team with this brute. Blast set (or control) would almost be irrelevant.
The OP doesn't state how facile he is with a 2nd box or if he uses any tools, so I'm going to assume it needs to be pretty fire and forget with a very low aggro threat. It's really hard to beat Emp in this regard. The RAs will be up when AB isn't (and vice versa), and as mentioned, there's Fort and, in a pinch, a heal (a big one too if you want to keep that handy). Get Power Boost (or whatever a Defender gets in epics) for Fort and you've got yourself 10B worth of buffs at your disposal.
Back when I used to farm (I've long since retired), I used an Emp for this purpose and it was great.
Global = Hedgefund (or some derivation thereof)
/maxinactivefps 1
/stopinactivedisplay 1
Then I'd park a Cold/ and a Sonic/ outside with each other as targets. As you walk by to get your mission, you punch up defense, resist, and +HP. No need for them to be on your team, enter the mission, or even be very high level. level 10 would be plenty for basic shields, level 15 ish for full powered shields.
Which is why I like the idea of Sonic. Practically no agro, very few click powers to worry about, only the two shields and they only need done every 4 minutes. Plus you get 30% -Resist on everything you smash.
Don't get me wrong empathy is still a good choice, but much less fire and forget than sonic.
I like the shields idea. Bubbles are awesome. Sonic too.
I have her follow me, invis, w/ heal spam, and AM at first of mission. Very little to do w/ her. And when she dies, I veng for more Dmg.
Ran a friend's ss/fire w/ mine, and it was stupid good. Doubled my dmg. Can you believe that? LOL

All you need to do is fire off SB every 90 seconds and occasionally switch back to the Fire/Kin for less than a second to fire off FS when it drops. I used to do this, and it's not at all difficult, complicated, or slow.

Yeah, I have a 50 Kinfender who is AMAZING at this! Keep him invis as much as possible, but FS can cause him to die too. I usually take a ton of rez INSPS. lol|

Yeah, this. use fly so you don't get stuck on things and spam transfusion (to keep the kin alive not the brute), then alt tab whenever you need SB and FS. It speeds up the farm considerably.

The thing is an SS/Fire really shouldn't need more defense/res if you're running an appropriate farm, more recharge and damage however can help alot.

The Kinfender dies every time he SB's the brute.

Before anyone says it...I KNOW that ideally another SS/FA brute would be best. :P
Barring running that, what would be a great "Perma Sidekick" to the ultimate in farm brutes?
Now that second account is F2P I've been running a Rad/Rad Defender w/ Radiant Aura on auto cast. She AM's me at beginning of mission, heals by proximity, and when she does die (and she DOES die) then I have a veng target. WIN.
Anyone have better idea?
