Savage/Rad - I don't know Brutes

[Cutter]

So I rolled this girl because of a name. I wasn't totally sure on things early so I went into this fairly blind; then I got into a couple steamrollers which were all kinds of fun, and suddenly she's at 34 and wanting to push for more, with no plan at all. Better late than never, as they say.

 

I'm used to building tanks, not brutes, so while I have a reasonable grasp of slotting basics for melee ATs, I'm entirely unsure of the priorities and potentials here. The plan I've come up with seems like it has decent numbers, relying on Meltdown and Rune of Protection for big ugly stuff (tho not enough recharge to be able to go back to back, if such a thing is even possible). The 1-34 in the build plan is not where I'm at now (like I said going in blind), so I'll have to be pulling the trigger on a respec anyway.

• Biggest question is about that Meltdown/RoP plan - should I bother? Or just work on other aspects of the build that are "always up", as well as the recharge piece?
• Secondary question is simply - how much have I overlooked or mis-valued? Any slots weirdly out of place? (Yes I know Ground Zero could use 2 more, but from where?)

 

Note that I'm not going for a giant dollar build, hence only the 1 purple set, no winters, and non-super ATOs (I could scrape other characters for a winter set or two if it would make that significant a difference).

 

Here's where I am (just a powers screenshot):

And here's where I (think I) want to be:
