Ok I built the build in Mids using a brute set up but I am a scrapper... guess I have to wait till Mids is updated but perhaps it will still work for some feedback.

Erm, you're not taking your Mez protection toggle or Dark Consumption but you're taking Assault? And not slotting Weave? Or your F/C/E/N toggle? But you're 4-slotting boxing and Energy Cloak? And 6-slotting Energy Protection & 5-slotting Dampening Field, which are passives?

Are you trying for something specific here, because the current build looks really strange?

Edit: As a comparison, here's my Pre-i21 DM/EA brute build - it's actually a little over-slotted from a DEF POV but I've been waiting for the i21 changes before I respec him.

I gotta be honest, Its been a long time, I had a DM/DA build like 3 years ago and was pretty good at it, mind you I wasnt running anything on +4x8 but I was doing pretty good. I had wanted to try DM again and was going over all the secondaries and EA sounded interesting so I grabbed it. Any advice I would pretty much welcome, I have yet to buy a single IO since I know I dont know why I am doing, I just couldnt find a build on forums so I settled for trying to make one of my own, which considering I dont understand EA much.. it was a tall order.

As far as what I am looking for, My other main is a SS/FA/Mu Brute, dont get me wrong but I am not looking for a clone of it, I am looking for anything that is solid but different.
