Renzro's Dark/Dark/Dark Build

Hay guys ive allways wanted to bring up my Offenders build on the forums but I never had the chance/time before now so have at it..
This is using what I got currently Slotted. Due to a lack of monies some set things will be incomplete-ish/have placholders
Also the levels I picked for slotting is alittle off since this is my first time using Mids

I tried to balance it to get the most out of soloing and teaming along with some stupid fun (torrenting lvl 1's? Oh yes.)
Hope you guys like my build, its not quite min-max but it does feel like good balanced fun for the resources available to me.

Overall it looks fun. I like to tweak things to death though, so here it is.

Here's what I would tell myself if I asked me about it:

If you're going to take your snipe and nuke, then slot them. You need that damage maxed out on each if you want to use them. If you aren't going to slot them up, then I'd consider swapping one or both out for something else...

Health is over slotted. You aren't going to get much from regeneration unless you can get A LOT, which you can't. The small amount you get from three slotting health just isn't going to make a difference. Leave it with just the numina and drop a miracle in there too when you can get it.

Shadow fall needs full +damres enhancement. That psionic/status res isn't doing jack for you. The 3% psionic res isn't going to make a difference by itself. Neither will the status resistance - if only it was status protection instead. Same thing goes for Dark Embrace: You want the full value of 3 +damres in there. These two powers fully slotted give you some real survivability combined with your -tohit debuffs. Also, shadow fall is the perfect spot for a karma -knockback, which are relatively cheap right now. (I've been buying them for 1.5 million)

Find a way to fit hasten. That one power will still increase your offense more than anything else.

Consider Soul Drain.

I generally don't like the leadership pool on Offenders. I'd rather be using that endurance to blast and debuff. If you can blast and debuff like crazy while running those toggles then that's awesome too.

If you want to "min-max" a bit...
Take a look at the bonuses you can get from sets. Pick a couple and focus on getting them as high as possible while staying with what you want for powers. It's generally better to be a specialist when it comes to set bonuses. A bunch of small bonuses really isn't going to make as much of a difference as a few high bonuses... If you pick the right ones. I'd look at ranged defense, recharge, and AoE defense.

Welcome to the World of Mids! You'll never be the same.

In defense of the Status resistance Its upped my survivability quite abit as what kills me more then anything else is Stuns and there is no mez prot available for that. I agree with you on Blackstar/Moonbeam, i took them out of habbit more then anything else. my main is a Dark/dark corr and they are both 6 sloted on him.

The regen...helps Its a work in progress. I can get my regen up to about 3% and ill be good.

If I were to ditch moonbeam I would shove hasten in but ive tried it before and it somehow just does not feel "right" its too fast.

Leadership is staple for me, I like the little damage boost I get out of it+teams like it when Im on them. *shrug*
