StJ/DA

I'm contemplating making a brute using this combo, any suggestions/pitfalls I should be concerned about?

I got one of these, in the scrapper flavour. That slurping sound you are gonna hear is your end bar bottoming out until you get some decent IOs. Still fun though and DA is tough once you get built up. Get the ToE proc in Dark Regeneration as soon as possible. Like, don't even roll that character up until you have the IO in the mail waiting for it to be claimed. The difference between DA with and without that IO is like night and day.
