Dark Melee/Shield brute build

[Pervier]

I'm currently leveling a Dark Melee/Shield Defense brute. He's currently in mid-20s and is pretty resilient.

I've been leveling without a build in mind but I'm starting to think about it.

But I'm rather bad at using Mid's so could some share a build ?

 

Thanks!

I've played Dark Melee, and I've played Shield (not on a Brute) but have never had a desire to pair them. Still, thought I'd toss out something incomplete which may give you some ideas.
