Here's something to get you started. I have an Elec/Stone tanker at 50 T2 (almost T3) using a very similar build. A couple of notes on my personal viewpoint:
1. I don't really like T9 power crashes, so I carry Orange inspirations and have the Eye of the Magus (Demonic Aura) accolade rather than take Power Surge.
2. I have seen that having 45 S/L Defense is very valuable, so my primary IOing is to support that.
3. The IO priority has left accuracy a bit below what I like, so that's why I chose Tactics and included a Kismet: Accuracy IO.
4. I do like +Rech, and have found that the Force Feedback: Chance for +Rech IOs do help (even though they never stack, there is a greater chance for them to fire having two)
5. Grounded has set my travel power of choice to be Super Speed.
6. Yeah, it looks expensive, but I'm using the same IOs on my tank w/o super funding. Just do the tip missions first every day and save up your Reward Merits as well as the Hero Merits. The only one that'll take a while to get is the Gladiator's Armor: +3 Def/TP Prot, and you can use some +Def temp powers to cover it until then.
Mine what you like and ignore the rest!

Current primary characters, all on Guardian:
The Amber Fist (Elec/Stone Tanker) | Pixelbeater (Fire/Kin Corr) | The Sequencer (Bots/Traps MM)
Blakkat (Claws/Dark Brute) | Mhogus'thra (Ill/Dark Cont) | Wyldhunt (Beast/Dark MM)
Mine is cheaper but I built her for 33% s/l def so she can be softcapped with 1 luck.
Power Sink is underslotted, which might be bad for a solo toon against an AV, but I rarely solo and currently with 1 rech IO in PS I'm good to go. Since I don't make much use of BU and she's not IO'ed like this yet I may take two slots off BU and put into Power Sink if I feel the need.
Since I have Ninja Run, NR+Lighting Reflexes is plenty fast for me as a travel power.

Just wanted to say thank you to both of you! You've both cut down a lot of frustration trying to remember what I did in the six versions I lost! Both builds have different points of view, they'll be a great help!
When I get a final version together I'll post for critique, thanks again!!
Too many characters to fit in this space.
If you lay down and give up you have no one to blame but yourself. If you stand up and fight you'll have no one to blame because you've already won.
I was hoping someone out there might be able to help me. I consider myself a bit of a power gamer, although not in the league of some of the people on here. Anyway I had to take about 9 months off from the game due to a chronic pain condition. I'm back, but during that time I had to wipe my computer clean and messed up on porting my mids files. Lost everything I had on mids.
I have a stone/elec brute from when cov first started, level 50. Was my first love in the melee area, to which I have some really awesome/survivable characters. I had tried a couple of times to make a build a while back that would allow me to have fun with this character again. My kat/wp scrap and elec/sd brute have really spoiled me. With losing all my files I've just become super frustrated with this one build.
Was wondering if anyone had any builds lying around they could loan me? I was trying to to concentrate on getting in as much s/l or melee defense as possible with a secondary concentration on recharge. I would figure s/l would be more useful.
If anyone has any builds they wouldn't mind posting, I'd appreciate any jumping off point I could get.
Thank you very much!
