Having a Stone/ELA Brute that could tank before SOs (and before Energize existed) because of Fault, plus several DA toons, I can assure that would work well (and like my SM/ELA Brute, would be hell on endurance, she was before power sink).
Another option that looks good to me is DA/Mace - Mace has more AoE and plenty of KD and Stuns, Clobber's stun can stack with OG to make it mag 4 and Crowd Control is much better than Tremor for damage, and you get whirling mace and the other cone too.
I did up a quick build in Mids, and it seems like Dark Armour and Stone Melee could work quite well together.
Massive amounts of stun and controls, plus near immunity to psychic.
The only issue is end.
Anyone else tried this combination?
