  1. A couple of points regarding the Dark part.

    16 > Shadow Fall
    Team stealth. That's all I need to say. I don't like it, as it doesn't fit in with my play style. Some do like it, but I don't. I recommend skipping it.


    [/ QUOTE ]

    I would recommend not to skip this because
    a) Mish Door Ambushes - With this running you dont get ambushed and get set up in peace.
    b) It is also Team + Def , not much but every bit can help
    c) It is also a decent Team Neg Eng,Eng and PSI Res, and since PSI attacks become common in the late game,while PSI def and Res is the rarest ,teams will love this.

    20 > Fearsome Stare
    A cone fear attack. I have never like Fear attacks; I find them useless and annoying. All they do is cower and run away. Especially where I don't want them to go. I like herding, and this is very anti-herd. If you like Fear, stack Fear duration into it; otherwise, skip this power.

    1) Fear does not cause mobs to run.They only cower in place.The running is caused by different powers and would happen even if this had not been applied.
    2) This power also has a large tohit debuff.
    Basically this one power can neuter the alpha of an 8 man spawn so much that a petless MM will survive it

    And finally, Fearsome Stare, a great power power in the 20s becomes situational with all the AoE in the 30s.

    I disagree, it does lose some effectiveness but it is far from situational.
    1) To-Hit Buff still applies
    2) Despite all the AOE, the incoming damage is still less.
    3) Mobs will scatter (Burn), and FS ensures that after running,they cower and wait until you get around to finishing them.
  3. Regarding the DM Portion(I have a 39 Robots/DM)

    Twighlight Grasp:-
    Slotting should be 2Acc 3 Heals 1End or Rech,
    some people prefer 2Acc 2 Heal 2Rech for smaller but having heals more often.

    Tar Patch
    3 Rech + optional 1-3 Slow- You want this available as often as possible for the -res

    Darkest Night is ok

    Howling Twighlight- I took this very late.Check DM guides for how to use this power offensively.

    Slotting ??

    SHadowfall- This should be taken in the 20s at the latest

    Slotting 3 Dam Res 1-2 End Red. Def is not worth slotting.

    Fearsome Stare. This is a 20s power. It is THE power for neutering an alpha strike.

    Slotting 2Rech,2 Fear,2Acc - THis way the power is up as soon as the fear duration finishes

    Dark Servant

    Slotting 3 Rech is a must the other 3 slots can be filled as preferred. You want DS up as much as possible
