So I'm playing with a friend of mine that had a 50 on live before IOs were normalized and hasn't yet reached 50 on Homecoming. We just got his TW/Fire Brute into the 40s and I want to gift him a build that will help make life easier for that character. He gets a lot of aggro due to brute's high threat level, puchvoke, and the large amounts of AE TW and Fire bring. So I made this build with the hopes that it would allow him to more easily survive that aggro.
Here's the pre-incarnate, non-purple build I have so far:

I've never ran this powerset combination before, so I don't know if those picks will make for a good attack chain or if any of the other powers would work out. Should I be focusing more on resist instead of defense? Without any DDR I feel like that could be a problem, but I'm hoping that Defensive Sweep is enough to keep that in check. I also worry that endurance is going to be a huge issue. Maybe Consume should be slotted out instead of Healing Flames? I figure having a large heal on a fast recharge is one of the best ways of dealing with the soft spots in the build's defenses.Honestly Blazing Aura could be dropped. It takes a ton of endurance to run, does light damage, and it's most important feature is being a taunt aura. I feel like the rest of the build pretty much covers those things already. Dropping that along with Tactics and Vengeance also would allow getting Melt Armor or something else at the loss of a bit of recharge. I tried to keep the recharge as high as possible so that it'll be easier to keep momentum going and so that Build Momentum is available as often as possible.
This build is made for normal play, but the power combination seems like it would work well for farming as well. Is there any easy way of raising the fire defense without sacrificing too much? Being able to run a fire farm would help him generate the funds to kit out his alts.

Is there still a 32 bit only zip version? I believe that is what I previously used for installation via Wine. Basically, I set everything up after a hiatus, and I receive the following error when attempting to load or save from a file:

I am just not able to save (and load) the files. Anyway I vaguely remember the first post containing links for a "macos/linux" version but I don't see that now.
It think lib/zlib1.dll is built with the anycpu target instead of the 32-bit one. I was able to fix this on my installation by replacing it with the latest 32-bit version from dll-files.com

TW/Fire critique and questions
in Brute
Posted · Edited by Blaises
I appreciate the help with this. I've updated the build to include and slot out Burn and Blazing Aura, swapped Titan Sweep with Crushing Blow, and went into Energy Mastery to help with the endurance:

This gets S/L softcapped as well now. I kept Super Speed since Physical Perfection didn't require two picks. It's pretty handy to have a stealth for speedy mishes.
Once he's able to use purples there should be more room for damage procs as well.
Mids seems to be weird when calculating endurance when it comes to Performance Shifters. Is it better to have Superior Conditioning and Physical Perfection slotted with the proc, or would a simple endurance IO be better? That could free up a slot if it's the latter.
