    I'm a relative newbie to the game. I've played for a while in lower levels, but I have never really attempted to make my own build, mostly I've copy/pasted from the forums.

    What I was going for here was permadom and then from that, I sort of picked and chose what sounded good and took a few tips from the dark/dark guide from Blue_Fenix. I usually do team stuff or at the very least I pair up with one of my hubby's alts. We found a good SG and they were talking about putting together some TFs too, so I'd like my build to be useful there as well.

    I decided to lay off the purples until I better understand what I'm going for except the one I threw into Umbral Beast that didn't seem too hard to get a hold of. Once I have a better grasp of what I'm going for, I may decide to invest in the pricier sets.

    Any ideas would be helpful, but even more helpful than a revised build would be a quick reason WHY you would change it. I know there are some guidelines and benchmarks I'm probably completely clueless about, so if you let me in on the secret, it would help me out a lot!
