How's you attack chain? Do you have enough recharge to run it? Maybe spiritual if you need more. If you are fine recharge-wise, musculature is always good.
Yes, if you have end issues, cardiac is good, but you indicated that you did not have end issues.

Single target attack chain has no trouble at all. Parry is fast recharging and fills all my gaps to provide lots of defense and some supplemental damage. I typically keep it on auto-fire. The strategy has worked pretty well for me against the 90% of foes that are melee strong. Against the occasional foes who ignore melee for ranged attacks I typically need to change that up since Parry is largely a waste against them. Still I have enough melee attacks that there isn't a gap unless I screw up the sequence. I only have two AoE attacks so when I want to attack a crowd there is some delay and I use the single attacks to fill it. I suppose it would be nice to have those AoE back faster for crowds. Still, when I face plant, it has never been because I felt I wasn't attacking enough.|

The cardiac idea is that I can get secondary damage resistance, which is the only weakness I think I really have. Also I can respec and go crazy with toggles. I am very interested in other ideas and people's experience.
If you can get a build without any noticeable flaws, I heartily suggest Musculature. It's quite a noticeable gap between the DPS of near identical builds when one is using Musculature Core and the other is using something defensive like Spiritual. The best logical Alpha for Willpower is Vigor Core though. Recharge doesn't benefit WP at all, but Vigor gives you amazing +heal which translates into a higher max HP (High Pain Tolerance) and a lot more Regen, as well as Endreduction and Accuracy. While you probably don't miss very often, Accuracy is still nice for the situations when you fight a ********* enemy like Knives of Vengeance who MoG, it helps you hit through it a bit better.

How to suck at CoX
Literally the Best Build Ever: Years in the Making
Basically I have a brute w/ BS/WP and no real weakness apart from you can always use more resistance and defense. I do get a lot of defense from parry. My resistance could be higher. Health regeneration is too fast for me to consider boosting it realistically, I have all my health powers triple IO slotted. I have no endurance troubles unless it is a marathon fight. Still, I was leaning to cardiac anyhow because sometimes you are in a marathon fight and you can add damage resistance at T2 that seems useful. Also it might allow me to respec and pick up some leadership pool toggles or such, for what that is worth, if I have the endurance to spare. Any other suggestions for the alpha of a BS/WP brute?
