Okay, so this is my FIRST build ever, and need ALOT of help critiquing my build. I don't have a clue about IO sets and bonus's that are needed. I'm trying for a DM/FA/MU Brute based only for AE farms. I tried my best slotting this build, I don't understand what I slotted do to not knowing what IO sets I needed.

*If possible try not to alter the skills, unless a good point is being proved.*Although, feel free to alter the slotting in any way.

I was short on time earlier. I have more time for some comments for you.

First off for farming I would recommend an SS/FA Brute. DM/ doesn't have the AoE that SS/ has. I assume you already have this character so lets proceed.

I recommend Defense and Recharge bonuses for farming purposes. The build I posted shows you what IO sets and slotting you may want to consider inorder to reach these goals.

As far as your power selection goes, overall your power choices look solid. Without IOs its hard to tell how effective your build would be. Slot allocation looks funny in some places (e.g over or underslotted powers)

Two things stick out. I would absolutely find a way in get Midnight Grasp in the build. Its hits hard and will help immobilize runners as you turn them into ashes. It is essential to your top DPS chain. I also recommend dropping Acrobatics. You can protect against KB attacks using IOs. I wouldn't waste the power selection on Acrobatics.

Thats about it. Good luck.

Could use some more information, Just one person's outlook doesn't give me anything to work with.
