Pardon me sir - but were you aware that Tarpatch also debuffs critter resistance by 20% or so (not sure of exact#)? I have never seen a Dark Defender who did not take Tar, slot it for recharge and use it whenever its up. You are selling your defender short - solo or team- by not using it to slow mobs and increase damage output.

Great guide - I love my MM to - lvl 40 Necro/Dark

I have a few questions though.

1.) Why the extra slots in hover? - I think you would be much better served by slotting the snot out of Darkest Night - nothing like bosses and minions whiffing like crazy to make your job easier.

2.) Why get Howling Twilight and Soul extract at all if you use them so seldom? I have stamina and run Assault/Tactics instead - the extra accuracy and damage really add up fast, and the perception bonus is a lifesaver. I almost never team, and if there is a team wipe, it is usually not safe to hang around and fire it off - faster to resummon your minions while the rest of the team hits the Hospital If you want to keep Soul Extract - maybe drop Team Teleport instead - you'll NEVER be on a team that needs it, and recall friend can function for anyone that might need help.

3) Maybe it's just me, but I only use Dark servant for EB and AV fights. Even on relentless, everything else just falls so easily, and I've never had Soul extract - maybe I don't know what I'm missing.

4.) Maybe you could pull that heal off of your GKs and put an extra recharge in Twilight Grasp or add it to Darkest Night - remember, DK debuffs DAMAGE as well as accuracy, meaning all your minions need fewer heals.

5.) What server are you on? - I would love to team with another 40 MM or team you with my FM/DA Brute to SMASH like crazy.

Happy hunting to you, and thanks for the great guide - you have talked me into trying Fear when I respec - I love it on my Brute, but my Lich spams it so much, I haven't bothered taking it on my MM.
