Anyone have experience with /Dark & SM or WM(Stacking Stun)

I was just looking at /Dark and wondering how much you would actually be able to stack stuns. With OG it is only mag 2 which is decent, put in SM Fault and it could stack very nicely. I also see Maces have a lot of stun, but the chance to stun seems pitifully low?(Namely the AoE stun) Does anyone have experience with these sets and stacking stuns?

A SG mate had a 50 SM/Dark Brute and said he mezzed everything with his stuns.

A forumite said the same about WM/Dark.

Both said the same thing: great combo, you can stun everything, but you will have problems building fury. YMMV.

War Mace has a 100% chance of a mag 3 stun in Clobber, which is also it's most damaging attack. Between OG and Clobber, you can stun bosses at will.

The chance to stun in the rest of the WM attacks is pretty low, though the 30% in Whirling Mace means that if you use it in a group. chances are it's going to hit on someone.

I've done a stone/dark brutroller before. Yea, it works. Sometimes they wander out of oppressive gloom range (it's a small radius), but walk right back in once they recover. Later on you can grab an AoE immob to keep them in.

I got a Dark/Stone Tanker that can stun whole mobs of bosses unless it's something mez resistant like Rikti Chief Soldiers. The staggering can be annoying at times, but I guess with a Brute's damage that's gonna be less of an issue than building Fury. I've shied away from building him as a Brute for that very reason. Therefore that is pure theorycraft.

€dit: Oh, and I procced out Fault. It helps a bit with AoE dmg if you feel you're lacking in that department.
