Opinion requested

[hakurr]

so i have 2 Brutes that i am going to make 1 will be Spines and the 2nd will be Energy Melee and i know i want to use Bio and Rad for secondary just looking for opinions of what primary to put with what secondary. and why the pairings would be best 

[DreadShinobi]

Are you set on them both being brutes? I'd make a spines brute and EM scrapper

[hakurr]

no i am not completely set on both being brute i could do 1 as a scrapper

If you aren’t set on both being brutes then I’d suggest the following:

 

Spines/Rad brute - they can take advantage of higher resistance caps.  I personally feel EM pairs better with bio so that’s why I am sticking spines with rad. 
 

EM/Bio scrapper - maximum single target destruction.  Even though they can’t get full crits on ET and TF they still hit harder than brutes. Plus if scrapper crits on ET they get a heal! Scrappers get more mileage out of offensive adaptation as well.

thanks for the advice i will look in to a EM/Bio Scrapper

You know thinking about it again, I don’t want to dissuade you from doing this one as a brute also. Your original plan was to make both brutes and there is honestly nothing bad about doing EM/Bio as a brute as well. 
 

Fury will still pump a lot of damage into ET and TF. Bios regen will compensate for energy transfers -hp. When built right, brutes can get 80-90% smashing lethal resist making use of their higher caps. If your original desire was to go brute, then I recant my previous recommendation and would say make both a brute. 
 

Then make a scrapper later in addition to the brutes!

Spines/Bio Brute can be a very early aggro magnet, but loads of fun.  Bio on Brutes can be a little bit of a chore to raise the resistances on but on the Scrapper you won't feel so bad if you only hit 75% (since it is the cap).  Still... fun combo and can be a thematic pairing.  

EM/Rad also feels a bit thematic as a pairing and would be great on either AT.
