Darks damage isnt really that good. Its more of a wearing away slowly type of attack not a big burst of damage like SS or EM.

What would you suggest I pick as a primary then?
Dont really want to go with energy again.
Fire melee might be a good choice. As Stone is a hard hitting but slow set and Elec is another one where the damage isnt all that great.

A couple of things I would change about this build would be to replace the end reds in your attacks with another acc as sonic has a acc on it and with transference you shouldnt have end problems. Also the flys in hover arent really needed as with stacked ss you will have enough speed. Finally does the slow in ss make a big difference because that slot might be better used in another power?
[/ QUOTE ]
bascially the points u raised are personal choices, u could go 2 acc in all attacks instead of the end, but tactics will boost your acc well past the inherent -5% acc, secondly I 3 slotted hover for those times that ss misses or u are still getting started, is basicaly a personal pref, plsu i cant think of where to put the slots tbh:P
as for the slow in ss, its increases your fly speed as well as added bonus of slowing your opp, so with one siphon u are still quite nippy with hover, and u can just about keep up with rest of the team with sb.
oh soz for the late reply, sadly i dont have access to the internet whilst at work
Just read an interesting thing about the last mission on the RSF on the us boards that someone posted. It seems that when 1 person was in the mission he could single pull 100% of the time but when another person entered the mission a 100% failure. Very interesting!

well ots always been far easier to pull with only the mission holder in the mish for some od reason. i can confirm i have pulled since the patch with BJB, but success rate seems down from 60-70% to 25-30%
it wasn't just that though, the damage seems to have been buffed - from the AoE's at least.
Yesterday was the first time that half of the team was repeatedly 'smacked-down' to 1hp - far more so than I've noticed on previous runs.
KB seems to be bigger too.
Dunno what you guys reckon, but that's certainly how it looked from where I was.

Is anything happening Today/Tonight? If not, i'm up for the Cap SF - though I don't know the requirments (Except Levels)
Hi guys, god what a stressful week. I'm all moved, place is a tip of epic proportions. At a net cafe looking at providers atm, think i'm settled on Tiscali but it says it could take 15 days! Anywho, see you all when i do get on, and hope things are running smoothly.
Ciao for now!

I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
The old snows melt from every mountain-side,
And last year's leaves are smoke in every lane;
But last year's bitter loving must remain

OK Guys and Gals - in my ongoing quest for gimpitude I have created the ultimate weapon.... a Nin.TA MM focussing more on the "blasts" than the pets....
Oh and I'm not taking stamina or hasten 
I do actually quite like the look of all the arrow control style - and the blasts seemed quite effective last night - I may have to reroll though (am only lvl 4) as I went Natural - have just read this morning that the magic "charm" power can ignite Oil Slick Arrow which might be handy.

Comments please 
- I think this could be my bank holiday w/e toon.
Finally they let me set up a forum account... So i start by saying thanks again for having me here.
Anyways as you know Im still fairly new to this game.
This bound to have a load of rookie mistakes in it so any help would be nice. Hit level 40 tonight and i will respec my character when hit 42 most likely to being something similar to this unless you can give me some further advice. In long term looking at this guy taking part in the high level SF's (RSF hopefully ) if that makes any difference... so time to stop talking nonsense and posting the build.
Only reason i went with ghost widow line was to get some extra defence as I seem squishy at times and also allowed me to go full leadership line which i seem to here lots of muttering about for RSF. Just need to figure out what i need to do to get the ghost widow stuff when im at that stage but that wont be till next week

looks ok. yiu have dark servant, tar, darkest night and teh howling twilight which are the imp[ortant omns
Hey guys
Welcome to the forums Ibaraki! I know you've been wanting to get on for ages!
Grats on 40 too btw
Now it just so happens that i do know a little bit about running a /dark MM, so I thought I'd give my input.
Pet training - went for 2 end redux over recharge. With one recharge on Kuji In Zen I find that basic train has recharged by the time advanced train has finished, and vice versa. I also rarely train all pets anyway, training only tier 2 and 3, and just spawn new tier 1 when they die.
Tar Patch - Didn't feel the need for end redux, so put in a range instead. For some reason I don't like to be too close when I drop that.
Howling Twilight - I don't use it as an attack power, purely as a rez. I did have a couple of free slots, so whacked a couple of disorient on it, as it's mainly used against AV's now, so if disorient has an effect it's a bonus. Could possibly slot an Acc/Mez HO at some point in the future to increase the odds of the mez hitting.
Fearsome stare - very effective against longbow (which is nice) 3 acc cos I want it to hit, and only 1 fear duration, as the 2 recharges bring it back before it's run out. My normal opener - hit them with fear, drop a tar patch, then send the boys in.
Petrifying gaze - same as above - 3 accs to make it hit, then 2 recharge to bring it back before the effect has worn off.
Dark Servant - hmmm, now this is a tricky one. I only actually put him in at last respec cos I didn't see the value, but now he's slotted with 2 acc, 1 immob and 3 TH debuffs, i do see the benefit. However, in time he's also going to benefit from some heavy HO slotting so he should be able to do great things
That's just how it works for me. I only really slot my toggles for end redux, as I find I rarely suffer with end - I often summon and train ninja without de-toggling fly, assualt and tactics.

This may be a little late in the day for anyone to see this correct me if i'm wrong
Does anyone wanna do the Cap SF tommorrow morning (between 9 to 9:30 BST) or maybe later at night(7-ish)? seeming as though we have some newer level 15-20's - gratz to Cold and Pro on getting how many levels
Just to confirm, RSF Run tomorrow guys - teamsheet looking like this:
Fisty,
Chaos Agent,
Lady D,
Scarlet Vengeance,
AT,
Major Helioss,
BJB (whoever ur happier pulling with mate)
ANO - I'd like to see Xip get a turn if he's about - if not another corr - I want a fast run - too many brutes last time.
Poor me's been having a cluster of nasty migraines over the last couple of days hence why i've not been on ;p
have no fear though, will return tonight or maybe tommrow, when better ;p
I think the prescription is as follows:
Take 2 HOs, washed down with Cider while listening to that Rammstein rubbish you like
Hey guys - will be on tonight but may be a little late - have packing to do...
Heh just noticed on the wings picture - its one of ours D&VS - First to Fly!
Linky
Hope they got some extra large ones for fisty to fly with
the demon wings are VERY cool. However, I'm also hoping for some angel ones - wanting a feather texture in black ideally.
Mind you, i'm dreading the sound which will probably be an annoying flapping noise, and I hope to god you don't bob up and down constantly when you fly, cos that'll just make me feel sick.
Like the way they fold up when he's standing though

Hi mate - don't know about the amount it increases it by - DC is the one who told me about that.
As for stone brutes and attack chains, well with 7 attacks I find that with no SB or Hasten fisty can be left with a 2-3 second gap in his chain - mind you - that's not really a problem cos u can sit there and take it - plus those 2-3 seconds gives you time to fire off taunt again.
