Tanker for more survivability for a longer period of time than a brute and you will have moderate damage. Brute for less survivability, unless you are in t9 but then again the survivability is limited to a certain amount of time. If you have a brute build that makes you sure you can kill the opponent in less than 6 mins(with burnout) 3 min (without burnout) then go brute. After all they do have a bit more damage than a tank.
It all depends on your style=]
So I want to role a melee character that will do a lot of pvping. Since CoH: Freedom came out, I now have the option of being EITHER a brute or a tanker while still being a villain. The question is though, which archetype will better suit my needs in the battle arena? I know that the powers I want to have are going super strength and invulnerability. Which class will be best for me?
