I'm not sure you'll find a "which is the best" answer, but more likely you'll find "this is what the set is good at". Those three have all got their own individual benefits and drawbacks.
Dark Melee is fairly short on AOE damage. I wouldn't suggest it if you want to be in big teams and want to feel like you are contributing lots of damage. It does rather nice single target damage when it has a lot of recharge.
Super Strength has Foot Stomp, Rage and KO Blow which make it feel very smashy 
It does have a crash at the end of Rage which some people don't like.
Stone Melee has great damage but is also very heavy on endurance. I'd suggest paring it with an armour set that has some tools to manage that.
I guess im looking to the Brute's that have high end builds with these primary's and seeing from "I have experience with this set"... tell me why they think it was a good idea/bad idea. With some really high end builds (that I plan on going that way) u might not need a heal or what not, but I plan on making a toon that will be able to take on any AV with a team.
Hello all,
I've been looking at the brute forums a long time and feel like im stuck at a crossroads between 3 primarys's for my next toon. Latley, i've been very sad with the way that brutes/tanks are doing there job, and im assuming that is major in part because or people re-subbing. So im going to make an Invul. I want somthing that will make it easy to max out Defence and maybe even HP/DP. Im stuck on 3 primary's that im interested in using..
1. Dark Melee
2. Super Strength
3. Stone Melee
I know dark has the heal+ end, i know SS has rage, and Stone has alot of mitigation, but with high end builds, what would bennifit the most?
Cheers,
