There is a mistake here - soul draingets those five slots of oblit,leaving Dark consumption with 3, but for some reason Mid's disagrees with that.
There are a bunch of tricks to playing him - but he is my best soloer (I have a bunch of scrappers in their forties, another 50 controller and a 43 WP/WM tank. The tank is generally as survivable, but slower on damage.)
Tactics: the debuf corner pull on the boss, hop in for Soul drain, hopbackand let into the boss with all four attacks. When the boss falls, the rest should be dead.
Vs mez heavy mobs: try tohit them firstwith EMP. One Mez and I can be dead - but in general, the -tohit keeps me safe. If one gets through, and doesn't wear off fast enough with AM to jumpback and toggle up, then hit my self rez and awake fresh. The recharge on this guy rocks,with nigh perma hasten,AM and solid set bonuses - so the nuke and EMPare up almost every spawn (just short, really). Always have a panic button.
The proc in CC is sexy.
The damage rocks my world. Yes, blasters are faster and a ton squishier, but none of my other toons touch it. The build-up procon the lightning recharge dark blast,and the damage procs inmy cones,mixed with the -res of EF, reallydrops them fast. Cim wall, Malta, Carnies - I solo on +2/x4 or +1/x4 for Arachnos,all with bosses. Arachnos are bastards - really - but this is true for all my toons.
I would love some feedback on this toon if anybody could be bothered. He is made as a solo offender, managing pretty well at farming (0/x6) and can help any team bring down any GM/Av. I wonder, with the new vigilance, do you thinkI could squeeze in assault? 50% more damage seems almost overkill - he doesn'treally need it, because as soon as the mob arivesin the debuff zone before him, he eats it. But it does sound tasty...
Cheers,
Vow.
