I would say PPS (Polypore staff) would be your best bet on the melee brothers, its insanely accurate, powerful, and cheap. Then other Brothers I would just take claws and claw special them out and a whip, since you don't have a rapier, just in-case claws don't kill them. Wear Ahrim's or gandermic (sp?) With arcane stream neck (if you have) and either a mage book or zammy book assuming you one of them, and bring a fury and dragon defender switch for meleeing. EDIT: I have heard that you can use PPS on Karil fairly effectively.
