If you haven't invested a lot of money in this character I would highly recommend just making a new SS/FA. It doesn't take very long to farm yourself up in AE. SS really only uses Punch(rarely), Knockout Blow(for bosses), Rage, and Footstomp. The main difference you will have is your PBAoE has a smaller radius and I believe hits less enemies.
I tried it with my Energy/Elec/Mu Mastery Brute and it was horribly slow. I even got Spring attack, Ball Lightning, Electrifying Fences and Whirling Hands. Even with a pretty expensive build it was slow on mobs. It was great on single targets, but it was just no Foot Stomp. I am just waiting for another character to level up and I will transfer all my IO's to him.
lvl 50 - Elec/WP/Mu Mastery Stalker, lvl 50 - Dark/EA/Soul Mastery Stalker, lvl 50 - EM/Nin/Soul Mastery Stalker
New Toons
lvl 21 - StJ/WP Stalker
Do the smart thing. Re-roll before you waste a lot of inf. on this toon. Seriously. Energy melee has got to the the absolute bottom of the barrel for farming. You'd just be setting yourself up for a lot of frustration and regret.

If I were to make an ss/fa how would I go about getting to 50 quickly? I've tried working through fire farms on lower levels but that doesn't go well or I might be doing something wrong.

You could always try to work out a "farm trade" with someone you know and trust, such as an agreement that if they would help you get to 50 fast, you could help them with another character or characters?

I've looked through the past couple of pages but could not find a build for a ss/fa with the fire epic. Could anyone share what they have? I will probably stick to a moderate cost until I see how well I can make the inf flow.

I think the most popular farmer trend is SS/Fire/Mu vs SS/Fire/Pyre. Search for 'farming' under the Brute section...you'll find millions of threads there.

Ok, looked through the builds on here and created this
Any advice on what I should change?
I'm going to get tier 3 incarnate powers, what should I go for?
If I were to eventually get purple recipes, where should they go?

I've had this brute forever and I really don't feel like creating a new character for farming. Any advice on what I should slot my melee powers? I will most likely just take an ss/fire build and adapt it to Energy Melee.
