SOLO-TYPE BRUTE! (need help!)
Why did you spam the Blaster, Brute, and Corr forums with the exact same post?
Also, any brute can solo.

cuz blaster, brute and corruptor is my choice... and i think i can get enough info by spreading some word^^
brutes don't really benefit from having a team build anf a solo build. The potential differences, should there be any, are negligible.
I am not really sure what you could do differently to make a brute more team or solo friendly.
Brutes are pretty straightforward.
I have 2 brutes myself, both are great on a team and solo.
Super Strength / Fiery Aura
- Lots of damage
- Has Rise of the Phoenix so it can selfrez
Claws / Willpower
- Nearly unkillable due to all the health and endurance regeneration
I don't think you can really go wrong with a brute, but above two sets are the only ones i can speak of with personal experience.
@RicVasquez ( I hope that isn't your real name ) don't spam the boards with numerous posts about the same thing across each Arch Type. Take a minute or two and read up what they do what people are posting. That will definitely answer your questions, especially here on the Brute forum. Its like going to the Tanker forum and asking for a Tanker build, not saying that Brutes can't just making a point here guys.
Basically your giving off the impression you just want the answers without doing any of the work. If your new to the game, take your time and feel the builds out. Just about everyone levels up on regular game dropped enhancers until the higher levels or mid 40s. So for that the sticky with build info is gonna be good enough until you decide and have the money to start experimenting on invention sets.

Go hang around in the new builds forums- I am sure you can grab a build or two there that are capped and ready to go. I agree with the others- it seems like you are spamming up the boards with your posts. Not really adding too much to the mix.
If you want to solo, just pick anything up outside of stone armor. The damage debuff coupled with -recharge and -self speed is kinda the pits.
Any primary will do fine. You will find that some sets are more AoE-centric than others. But seriously, you should do some reading and searching. The answers are there, you just need to read them.
Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.

A better option instead of posting the same thing in each individual forum would be to just go to the Player Questions forum and ask in one post what kind of suggestions people have for the three ATs. It generally works quite well and, aside from a few snarky people, you'll get pretty reliable answers.
Really though, most builds are decent at solo'ing. The stuff that isn't that great is any power set that offers a lot of goodies for teammates, but not yourself. Like a lot of Defender primaries have skills that don't affect them, like Empathy where half the skills are for targeting team members.
The Villain ATs in general are designed a bit more around solo'ing (Masterminds, Brutes, Corruptors, Stalkers, and Dominators) So there's a lot of choices you can't really go wrong with. Most, if not all, of the Melee ATs do well enough solo.
If you're new and finding your blasters/corruptors aren't surviving a lot, my best suggestion would be to get hover, it lets you get out of melee range (arguably where a *lot* of the game's danger lies, at least early on) and rain down destruction as you see fit. Brutes shouldn't have a major problem.

Skip Taunt = Solo.
And that's about it

1) good sets for rech and def bonuses
2) good for /x8 missions and PB/AoE spamming

Granted...I take and use Taunt because I actually want to be the main Tank while teaming...the actual reason to take taunt for teaming no matter what...is to have all the enemies focus on you to fuel fury.
i was thinking what should be the nice combination of powerset for SOLO-TYPE/TEAM Brute, what i mean is the brute that can do solo nicely and team... and how to soft cap it? any advice is quitely appreciated!
