Dark Melee Dark Armor build

[darg]

Does anyone have a build handy? Also what powers can be skipped? I remember reading about creating a proc bomb in Regeneration, were there any other powers that would benefit something like this?

I threw this together quickly for a friend, but he abandoned the toon before hitting 50, so no real world trial to see how it works. More of a damage build than a survivability build, and damage could be further improved through a more intelligent use of procs, though likely at the cost of some set bonuses. Other than that, I've taken what I think should be taken, and skipped what I think should be skipped from the primary and secondary. Oppressive Gloom instead of Cloak of Fear is an option, though. Anyway, needs at least a little more polish, maybe more than that, but it might be a decent starting point.

[StoneKarma]

I think I've read that Dark Melee is not a good set for brutes because of how some of the powers don't get the benefit of Fury? Is that true?
