Bruenor is the game's tank class so you'll want to get Tough and Defender as early as possible. Dungeon Delver is to increase Bruenor's damage against elite enemies for faster dungeon clears.

Dark Alliance Heavy Armor Master
Heavy Armor Master

Get Heavy Armor Master first for that huge armor bonus. Grudge Bearer will do wonders if you're good at parrying as the damage boost will kick in the same time the parry restores your stamina. If you're not confident with your parrying skills, Battle Master gives almost the same amount of damage boost and is easier to trigger.

Dark Alliance Blessing of the All Father
Blessing of the All Father

Prioritize getting Blessing of the All Father first, especially if you spent most of your APs to CON, then Keen Mind so you can use Bruenor's abilities more frequently. Indomitable gives huge defense boost when you're low on HP so this might save your run if you're low on Health Potions.
