Scrapper is the easy winner here. Defensively the Brute's stronger simply due to its higher HP, but it's not that much higher (and if you're softcapped you shouldn't be getting hit often anyways). Scrappers have a higher damage modifier right out of the gate, on top of a higher damage buff modifier, meaning Soul Drain will do much more for you on a Scrapper. For almost any other primary I'd say go with a Brute, but DM's an exception to that.

OK, I sure that this has been discussed before, but I was wanted to get some updated opinions. I'm allready set on rolling a Darek Melee / Super Reflexes toon, but torn between making a brute or a scrapper. Im looking at survivability and high damage. I am aware that SR is pretty squishy untill higher lvls and IO'd out, but with the -acc from DM it will make SR a bit more durable. As far as the damage output, I need some input on the numbers between fury from brutes, and the crits from scrappers, as well as HP numbers.
