Hi, A_C!
I just put a build together, and I'd like to know your thoughts on it. Yes, the mez resist and heals are late, but they can be swapped around as needed. Also, please ignore the levels I added slots; I kinds just threw this together in 15-20 minutes, just to get a feel.

Level 12: Placate
* (A) Recharge Reduction IO: Level 50
[/ QUOTE ]
You use Placate waaaay too much to justify single slotting it. Go two at the very least.

Level 22: Stamina
* (A) Performance Shifter - EndMod: Level 50
* (31) Performance Shifter - EndMod/Recharge: Level 50
* (31) Performance Shifter - Chance for +End: Level 50
[/ QUOTE ]
Try to find a fourth slot for another Performance Shifter IO. That'll give you ... some good bonus of some kind, I can't remember, and also give you 92%ish end mod enhancement.

Level 24: Kuji-In Sha
* (A) Miracle - Heal/Endurance: Level 40

* (34) Miracle - Heal: Level 40
* (34) Miracle - +Recovery: Level 40
[/ QUOTE ]
Never, ever stick a unique like Miracle in a click, and try to avoid sticking them in toggles too. I'd try to frankenslot four or five IOs into it (try to max heal and recharge), then stick in the Steadfast: res/def IO.

Level 26: Kuji-In Rin
* (A) Recharge Reduction IO: Level 50
* (34) Recharge Reduction IO: Level 50
* (36) Recharge Reduction IO: Level 50
[/ QUOTE ]
With the extra recharge from your IOs, the third recharge is unnecessary. Probably the second as well, considering you're using level 50 commons.

Find another slot if possible.

Ditch the excess defence.

Ditch entirely.
The rest is quite solid. Enjoy!
Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.
What's your opinion on Spirit Shark in PvP? I'm curious, since I PvP rather often.
Too many alts to list.
Well, I don't PvP any more, but a man once told me something about Spirit Shark:
SHAARRRRRKKKKKK
in other words, it's good
Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.
Soul Storm with one Hold IO gives you enough time to setup another AS if no attackers...
For example. Find three mobs, AS, placate 2nd, hold 3rd (you have 17 secs), AS 2nd, wait for hide.... AS 3rd.
All with no damage incoming....
Test that against a 7.33 activating Moonbeam... you could get another AS in the time moonbeam takes to fire....

Any new thoughts?
[/ QUOTE ]
Shadow Punch is of less worth now.
Shadow Meld is insane. There is literally no reason to go any other Patron. Use it prior to every fight and you will almost never die.
Siphon Life is now one of the best attacks in the game. It has crazy high mitigation values with an incredible amount of damage (think Disembowel level of damage). Not taking it is like skipping Placate and Assassin's Strike.
Midnight Grasp is now a great attack, and was always pretty good.
I'm sorry that this guide became out of date so quickly. I'm thinking of rewriting it, but the necessary time commitment is an issue.
Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.
