TW Brute... suggestions please

I'm loving my TW scrapper as I've mentioned before but I'm thinking a Brute might give me that extra survivability that scrappers don't quite manage - and though I enjoy my WP/Dark tank, I want to be able to get the best of the TW damage.

The object is high survivability, plus high damage - but also not changing my look too much (hence Stone armour is out - and probably Ice & Dark too) and I'm limited in my experience of melee.

I'm looking at maybe /SR, /EnA, or Regen or maybe Elec Armour - because I've not experienced those (well /SR I have on a War Mace 50 Brute but his DPS is a bit sucky and I cba to rework him)

I'm open to other options if there's a clear case to be made but what do you chaps suggest?

If you want the strongest TW brute you can get, I suggest elec. Fantastic resists to go with whatever defense you want on top of infinite endurance to enable more smashies. You also get a heal and a damage aura. That adds up to extremely good damage.

If you want the most possible damage out of titan weapons itself, well, my titan weaponist is a TW/WP scrapper. Tier 4 musculature and the scrapper AT sets equals things die really really fast. Brutes are not going to be able to make rend armor hit for 1200 damage without outside assistance. Survival-wise, I built for 2300 hp full time and better than softcapped s/l defense. Works well.

Really though it's a great set so I would say go with whatever archetype and secondary you want, hard to go wrong.

I think Elec might be a way to go - the end mitigation is invaluable - that's one of the weaknessess of my scrapper... so some way to resolve that could be good - and I've experienced the God Mode on my blaster so with enough recharge I could potentially get that semi-perma

Thanks for the feedback

I'm really liking my TW/SR brute.

Defenisive Sweep stacks too good with /SR. And I can focus on ranged/AoE def bonuses in sets without worrying so much for melee def. Those slots can go for other bonuses.
