Dark Armor is my fav melee armor because of its active and controllerish nature.
I have a 50 dm/da scrapper I justrerolled onto a Brute. Now since I don't like Oppressive Gloom on Brutes (no mobs attacking, no fury) I'll be taking Cloak of Fear (also because I want her to be a Fear-focused build, that's why I took ToF as well), and that severely impacted my slotting and I had to go to Body Mastery for all my end consumption. OG is fine with an acc enhancement alone (or an acc/mez HO, that's what I have on my scrapper). The general endmods in the body mastery powers are there to simulate the recovery I'd get from a Perf Shifter proc.
And be prepared for endurance woes even with OG, I'm leveling a claws/DA Brute, claws being the lightest on your blue bar, and by level 20 I have 5 toggles (the three shields, death shroud and cloak of darkness)
I made this build now in 10 minutes, think it's pretty good, I could have capped s/l if I used a Kinetic Combat set in Midnight Grasp:

Hello all,
I've been on the road for a few things and was thinking a bunch about playing a DM/DA/Dark while driving. I was leveling a DM/FA, which I understand would be a faster leveling toon, but I am wondering if a DM/DA/Dark would be a better build (combination of damage, survivability and fun). So, would anyone please give me a run down as to how the combo plays? I have a DM/WP/Blaze scrapper and really like DM/
Also, if someone has a build for some ideas and maybe even know of a good leveling map you advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
