I was thinking of making a new toon since my 3rd toon is almost at level 50, and i like brutes, so i was thinking of going with something that not many people have or would expect to see alot, and that's a Dark Melee/Energy Aura Brute, though the damage isnt all that great the fact that yuor primary attacks back up your secondary defenses is what i think would make this build good, not to mention touch of fear, which i see from past fights with Dark/ Scrappers is pretty useful in pvp. So what do you guys think?

Yes, this build is very nice....death by a thousand needles, although very effective. You're right that the damage doesn't leave a lasting impression, but the utility and cohesiveness of this set works very well. The secondary -ToHit in the dark Melee set make the /Energy Aura defenses shine. Max them out with defensive slotting in CJ/Energy Cloak/Shields/Weave and you will see tremendous results.
It may take you a little longer to kill things than other FOTM brutes, but you will be happy with the power choices.
Good Luck,
Neo

Yea, well i plan on picking sands of mu for my bonus power, which will work very well with shadow maul, and the rest of the dark melee powers, with the tohit debuff they all give, plus with touch of fear ill be able to weaken them so much that they wont be able to hit me and they wont be able to attack or do anything else, therefore ill be able to kill them somewhat fast. I have a Em/Elec Brute and he's a tank but a Dark/ scrapper can pretty much slaughter me if they have touch of fear, since i cant heal or attack, and they kill me relatively fast too.
For Power Pools i plan on getting Speed, for hasten, i love that power, fitness...ofcourse, Medicine, too help out with healing, though i alrdy have a heal in the set, aid self will make me even harder to kill, and fighting, for weave, i didnt put in the Leaping pool, because i really dont think combat jump makes much of a difference in my defense, and i'd rather have hasten, because that helps my powers come back faster.
