Dark/Dark Defender build ,Odin still own ya

Having just respected my dark/dark defender Odin I have to say I am very satisfied with the result

This is my build and it works like a charm, a little better in team than solo, and my use of endurance if perfect since I have just enough for a big battle.

I recommend some slots in shadow fall, 25% resistance vs psionics, energy and negative is too good to go unenhanced.

Here is my probable new build.

I'd highly recommend slotting Dark Servant for Acc debuff. They have Darkest Night, which is every bit as brutally effective as yours, and also Chill of the Night, an PBAoE (centred on them, not you, obv.) which does a tick of damage every so often, but also has a Darkest Night level Acc debuff attached. Tenebrous Tentacles also benefits from the acc debuff enhancements. With three slots of acc debuff, fluffy can debuff an even cons AV to the floor if it is next to it. For this reason, I highly recomend taking recall friend.

Looks good, But I would probably stick one more Acc in your Pet Gaze, Dont want that to miss at all.

I tend not to use Pet Gaze fairly sparsely anyway, so I'm not that botherd about a little reduced accuracy.

Having just discovered that Shadowfall and Super Speed no longer stack, I may do a bit of fiddling about with this anyway.

They don't stack? Is that since Issue 6?

Cause im fairly sure they stacked last time I opened up my dark.

Someone posted that it had been changed elsewhere.

I'll be testing before the Hami raid tonight. If you here a sound not unlike "Ooo, look at that big rock monstARGH!!! HELP!!! HE'S STANDING ON MY FACE!!!" then it is likely that it no longer works.

Ok, following extensive testing (stealthing a malta/DE mission and jumping on an even conning Death Mages head while shouting "You wear a hat like a girl! A girl I say!") I can happily say that the SS+Shadowfall combo still works. Panic over.
