I've been running a rad/fire brute and he's pretty decent but so far, at admittedly a rather low level, he doesn't take damage quite as well as id hoped. Now, my impression was that the Brute was mostly a different kind of tank, since that's what villains had access to for tanking before going rogue, now I'm not so sure. I'm considering rerolling him as a fire/rad tank.
I should also take into consideration this is a villain the rogue isles are rather barren so I imagine I'll be doing a lot of stuff solo or with my emp/rad defender friend.
Any opinions or foresight on how these two potential toons will play out in the long term?
