gloom is apprantly really really good dps fitted into an attack chain
Gloom makes an excellent addition to a DM/ Brute's attack chain. As you said, Gloom applies a minor -tohit debuff that will stack with your Dark Melee attack's -tohit debuff. Plus, the short animation makes it a great filler (i believe it's the old ET animation, or Scorch animation).
I would think it would depend on ur power sets. I took Mu pool for my ss/elec brute. The dot of elec fences and ball lightning stack nicely with lightning field when your fury is built up

For a dm/elec, I would definitely recommend the soul PPP. Like cloud said, the -tohit works well with the debuffs from dm. It will give you a nice ST attack in Gloom and Darkest will help your survivability in a long fight.

I was wondering which patrons Brutes usually lean to. Though, for my build, I only have room for one power, but it would also help on deciding which one gives the best missions, as this is my first villain as well. I'm leaning towards Ghost widow atm for gloom to get a little -acc. I'm a DM/ElecArm if that matters. Thanks for any advice.

Best missions in terms of interesting story? Or in terms of the name of the Patron Badge? or in terms of speed of first arc completion to get the badge?
I find Scirocco's arcs to be interesting (also can be good for Mu Guardian kills for gladiator badge), and I like his badge name.
In terms of arc speed, I find Black Scorpion to have a rather quick first arc, the only thing is that he takes awhile to give out his communicator code so you run back to him a lot.
Wont' matter what patron you pick now though since they unlocked the patron pools, so that is a good thing.

This. I happen to think they are all good, but they are also very similar in some ways. Pick the Patron you want to learn the most about and go for it. Then level up some other villains and play the other arcs.
I'm doing Scirocco's right now for the power sink move. It's for my corruptor though, but any toon can benefit from recharging their end from the crowd's end. Mako seems to have the most Brute-esq attacks I find.
