Desmodos

Basically, last Villain 200 Merit Milk Run I ran it in one day which got to be a bit much. So this time I'm breaking it up into two days. The catch is that it's only 191 Merits...close enough for government work.

Unless you have the ability to purchase expensive IOs ahead of time (which is unlikely if you're new), I strongly recommend you take Stamina at level 20. You can still select Cloak of Darkness at level 22 and achieve the same aims for all TF except the first 3 (Positron, Synapse, and Cavern Trial). Even if you took CoD at level 20 you'd only gain one TF (Synapse). Combining CoD with a Stealth Proc is strongly recommended, typically you want to place one in Sprint (preferably an alternate Sprint if you have one, depending on which version of the game you purchased you may not, yet.)

At your earliest convenience I recommend you respec. out of Slash and replace it with Slice. Slash is a rather lack luster attack that most Broadsword scrappers skip. Slice is not much better against single targets but is both easy and effective against multiple targets.

Broadsword/Dark Armor is a tough build to start out with. Both Broadsword and Dark Armor are infamous for their endurance costs. Combining the two can be a challenge. Properly IO'd these concerns can be dramatically minimized but that's difficult to achieve quickly as a new player. If you can acquire IOs you'll want to focus on getting these three, ranked in order of importance: Theft of the Essense: +end PROC (place in Dark Regeneration), Miracle: +recovery(place in Health), Numina's:+recover/+regeneration(place in Health).

In my sig you'll find a DM/DA guide. Some find the sections written Dark Armor to be very helpful on any Dark Armor build. I would suggest reading for detailed information on how to manage Dark Armor endurance costs.

While BS/DA is a tough build to start with, the end results are very rewarding. Once the build comes together it both powerful and wicked fun.

Truth is, once you get into IO builds, Dark Consumption becomes rather optional. In most cases it hard to justify keeping it.

I smell an truck load of restrictions in the near future...

Going to have to get someone to make me one...I simply don't have the know how or the patience to learn.

At first I though I just read the shortest guide evah...then I realized your link goes to the last page/post of your guide. Might consider changing it to the first...just saying.

Maynia, kick *** work there. Thanks
