Stone / ? for a Brute

[Sidious]

I tried out stone/wp last night and loved it (didn't even mind the slowness). But I was wondering if Willpower was the right secondary to be using. It has some decent end recovery and damage resistances, but is there another that would be optimal?

I am going to be rolling up a sm/rad next week and I am very excited about it.

Both here and on live back in the day my primary character was a Stone/Fire Brute.  Although I'm planning a different build for this time around,  I used to go Mu Mastery for the aoe immobilize and ball lightning.  Group up a pack or two immob them, hit fault to stun (Fault alone causes the mobs to wander around) then hit ball lightning and burn.  Normally melted the packs and I could move on. Pop Buildup or Fiery Embrace before you hit burn/ball lightning for more damage.  Tremor is a terrible power so you can ignore it, while fault is your biggest mitigation power.

I made my Stone Melee Brute with Shield Defense.  Man, she was a good-times smashin' machine...
