SS / Shield brute

[Ferrus_Xeno]

Hey, can i get some advice.   I have a SS/Shield brute (currently level 35) that constantly runs out of endurance when solo.  The first mob uses a little less than 1/2 my bar, and the second wipes it out.  Unless there is a boss... then there goes the entire bar.  I have upgraded to lvl 35 IO's (not sets) in every slot, and still have issues.  Anything else i can do? I was planning on taking conserve power with my next power choice.

You can slot health with the procs from miracle, numina and panacea. You can start with the cheapest one and work your way up. Since those will be your staples even at 50. As a Brute, you could go with 2 dmg instead of 3 and slot extra end reduction.

I have Tanker Shield/SS, a friend in expert build, made for me...
