you are missing out on a load of auto def powers which are always on but dont take any stamina while in use like resist elements and resist energies, also you have left out any slots on your lvl 35 power of tough hide, you want these and you want 3 slots in them (as with resist physical damage) otherwise you will only be able to fight opponents with smash/leathal damage and when you start to rise in lvl you will have difficulties.
You ahve too many attacks and most will be useless as you will ahve too many to chain, by the time your main attack has recharged you wont have even gone through half of them.

I disagree. A brute can happily survive without the passive resist powers. The trick is being sensible about what you kill first. A couple of slots in tough hide wouldn't go amiss, but their not essential.

Again, I disgree. My attack chain is Jab on auto (brawl when in PvP), Punch, Haymaker and Air Superiority, with KO Blow and Footstomp used when rage is high (all of the above have a rechardge reduction in), plus hurl for getting runners/looking cool.
Personal, I'd still put an accuracy in your attacks, as well as a recharge (although I don't slot for th_buffs, so you may not need to) and try and fit an end_red in your toggles, but I don't have my build in front of me at the momment, so I can't tell you off the top of my head exactly where I'd get the slots from.

For example, survivability vs lvl 30+ longbow is going to be impaired due to lack of fire resistance as there are hoards of flamethrowers lurking about, they caused me to spec resist elements in on my INV and Magma on my stone (pre-granite)Nothing is impossible but I would suggest for a new and inexperienced brute (which is what we are dealing with) would want as many passive defence powers as they can get in order for them to come to terms with the AT before they create a specialised assault machine.
I like to keep attack chains as small and fast as possible so I can run through them all, an high lvl attack power that isnt utilised when its charged is a waste imo, waiting for fury before KO Blow just seems pointless to me, the slow charging powers should be used as an opener so they are again recharged for the rising fury. As far as I am concerned a brute is a really tight build and I cant afford to have dormant/underutilised attacks in my build, only a /Stone can fit so many attacks in the chain and use them all due partly to the 70% slowdown and partly due to being able to drop armour like magma and crystal once granite is available

Whether I lead with big attacks in a no-fury situation is dependent on whether I am in a team or not. Solo, I aim to be able to get through a newspaper mission with little to no downtime, so I'll mostly use the standard attacks, with a KOB thrown in here and there, and almost no footstomps save for boss spawns because a) another high damage attack against them is a good thing, and b)They are normally at the end of the mission so end-management is not an issue.
However, in a team situation, I use both KOB and Footstomp far more often, regardless of the amount of fury I have built. Jumping into a large spawn without Footstomping? Unthinkable.
Longbow flamethrowers in the 30s are a right pain, and almost made me respec in resist elements (currently my build has resist energies but not elements and also is missing tough hide. I intend to swap resist energies with tough hide when I get round to doing the respec trial again). However, they can be dealt with with alternative tactics, namely jumping about a bit (easy for me, as I run CJ and have hurdle) to stay out of the burn patches, hitting them first, while more or less ignoring things like the blokes with rifles, and using AS/Haymaker to keep them down if KOB wasn't ready when I engaged them.

I figured as much, just the concept of witholding my big powers is enough to make me cry 
When I used to solo the mission in the pvp zones my main target was always the damned flamethrowers, I just hate them so much, if it wasnt for them and the fact that at lvl 33 I wasnt using some attacks I wouldnt have got the power either.

ok guys out of the ss/invul which power sud i miss to fit stamina in??? i have worked the slots out for all of in/ss so i just wanna know wot 3 sud i miss so i can get fitness.... im nearly rdy now lol
you might not need to get rid of any, hurl is uber usless just make sure you have a resistance to hold aura of some sort, also ss builds rage rather slowly so it might be worth gettin fighting pp just for boxing. i havn't ever looked at inv in detail will check it out now and see what i come up with
somethin like this maby?

well said i didn't know inv 
im a big solo/2man party player so i need things like heals which almost all brute think is a waste of a pp and 3 slots but you woun't believe how many time myself or my friend playing on the max difficulty would have died without them, about TI i dislike temp defence skills i don't yet know why i just don't lol.
also i have a question to ask about enh me and my friend have been debating this for some time, lets say a skill has 4.45% dmg resist to xx and you place 3dmg so's in there making it have a max of +97ish% it would make it about 8.8ish% resist right?

38% Resist to S/L .. pfft yeah i'd hate it to
and yeah its around 8-9%

Dislike defensive skills? Long term bruting is probably not a good career plan

well my brute is 30 atm and not struggleing, well apart from 28-29 when i changed around my so's only to realise i had a pretty good setup as it was, i also have a 9dark/dark brute which really builds up rage fast lol
and a lvl 33 mm but thats a diff thread
OMG i can't believe i missed that move lol ty for pointing it out.... though now i have to respec .... again
rage does most of the work for me anyway
also the 2acc so's is, as is said abouve because i would much rather not miss over doing mass dmg, as whats the point in hitting hard if you miss
