SS/Fire/Soul
It solos EVERYTHING so far as I can tell.
When there is no room left in Hell, the Dead shall walk the earth.
Kinda partial to /WP brutes. Psi protection, well rounded set. Debuff issues sometimes, see: Romans. Ugh.
Rikti and Nemesis don't stand a chance with it though, you can stand there laughing at mobs of +4s. 
My last three 50s used /Wp, and did a lot of soloing. The Brawl/WP was *only* soloing, and he's Incarnate.
But yeah, Fire is a lot of win.
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.

Best to solo anything?
Anything/Dark Armor...seriously...get some KB protection and slot for defense, put a ToE +end proc in Dark Regen and pick a mez aura to go with your damage aura, you will rule.
My favorites to pair it with? BS/Kat/TW/SS/DM/Staff
With BS/Kat/Staff you can positional softcap defenses, with TW and SS, you get great damage...TW can actually Softcap S/L/E/N pretty easily while SS can get alot of S/L defense. DM hits like a truck and can softcap S/L/E/N too, plus perma soul drain is a nasty thing to behold if you can swing the recharge.

Maybe Katana/dark then. I already have a SS/sheild and a claws/wp at 50.

For regular content, not super high end feats and farming, I don't think it much matters. Any/Any works just fine. These are Brutes we're talking about.

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

Agreed. It's the player that matters. Play whatever you think is fun.

My street/fire brute on beta thats purpled out is a beast. Makes me wish I could turn mobs to higher then +4 cause they are too easy. Sometimes things get close but healing flames about every 18 seconds saves the day. I did die a couple times during the final Mot mission but thats set at x8 and at +4 so it wasnt surprising. Every time I did eat it tho my res was back up. Amazing toon. Wish I got to finish him on live and play some team/trial content with him.
Katana/dark is awesome...ss/regen is insane and hits like a truck...
Tw/dark is just nasty all kitted out
