woah, erm? Slotting CoD for DefBuff is useless, it gives a measily 3.75% DEF. Slotting 3 end redux in CoD is useless, the end cost is very low compared to others.
NOT Slotting end redux in CoF is death, its WAY too high of a toggle cost, and also, its very low accuracy. And the fear is not very usefull anymore either, as it only fear lts. I slot it, 2endrdx 2acc 2tohitdebuff
Slotting EndRdx in Oppressive Gloom is useless again, its a very cheap toggle, the main downside to it is that it drains HP, i don't like it, but its up to your playstyle.
And erm.... where is Dark Regeneration????? yes it need heavy slotting (costs 50 end unslotted, tahts half your bar) but OMG its a lifesaver, hit 1 foe and get 1/4th HP back, hit 2 or 3 foe's at low hp, and you are back into the fight, i slot it 2 acc 3 endrdx

Dark Consumption is vital as a DM/DA, your end is already very low, so slot 3 recharges in it. the end mod isnt too needed, as you'll be fighting packs of minions at a time (having CoF/OG to soft control them) i put in 2 ACC aswel as i don't want it to miss.
I also put 2 ACC/3rech in Soul Drain, again, you'll be fighting packs of minions/lts (i do anyway, running PBAoE toggles for 1 or 2 foe's is a waste of end) so there will be enough to hit.
Not so sure about slotting for rech in stead of end rdx in the attacks. i have 3slotted hasten, so i can usually fire up a nice attack chain. but i guess without hasten slotting 1 rech 1 end is ok-ish. slotting 2 recharge is overkill imho. i slot all my (real) attacks 2 acc 3 dam 1endrdx (and at later levels with Focused Accuracy running, swap an accuracy for an end redux)
Jump kick is a HORRIBLE attack, so don't take it unless you are going for concept, DA has no immob protection (CoD is mag1, so its fairly useless) and CJ fills that up nicely and its low end cost too. and its a nice way to Acrobatics witch you will want for KB/KD protection.
Super jump, slot it for jump speed, gives a nice boost and you arent gonna use it in combat, as its way too high end cost, and it cnat run together with CJ.
Just my 2 inf 
YMMV

[/ QUOTE ]It used to cost 49 beofer the DA end reducing and the global cost reducing with ED, surely it's less than 49 now...?
slots are not in correct order, i take the powers from 2 different build.
iam using allways superjump, so i had changed combatjump with jumpkick.
there a many ways to slot your character thanx for your tips

ah true, it prolly got the 12 or 13% end cut.
sherk silvers planner lists it at 33.8, which is still a lot as a /DA scrapper, so you'll still want to slot 3 end in it, rech rdx arent that usefull as the base recharge already is 30 seconds
No end rdx => 33.8
1 end rdx => 24.7
2 end rdx => 19.6
3 end rdx => 17.2
And the recommendation for 2Acc stil stands

[/ QUOTE ]DM/DA eats END fast enough already, running SJ with all that... OUCH.
yes, ouch, forgoit to say: i played a dm/reg
a friend plays katana/da at level 31, i have not so big experience with it.
know i plan for him an new build with your advice
Only thing I would add:
Touch of Fear -> Acc x 1 ToHitDebuff x 3 Recrdx x1 (or two if you have a spare slot)
It stacks handily even with one recrdx, so you don't really need to extend the fear duration. It has a base accuracy of 5% so it only really needs 1x ACC. Get it in the attack chain ASAP and use it. Great for all mobs though bosses and up will need multiple applications. But even AVs and GMs can be made to tremble in fear. And with three tohit debuffs slotted they will struggle to hit you even when they do attack.
Have I missed something or has nobody reminded him to put debuffs on his DM attacks? It makes DM SOOOOOO much better, i love it as a power set good choice, soul drain is alot of fun but prepare for agro if you use it in a big mob.

Erm, i tried this once, after ED came out with my freespec. and as soon as i got the chance, i took it out again. The effect at 50 is hardly noticable.
for the record, i slotted my attacks 1acc 3dam 2tohitdbff. Also running CoF 2end 2acc 2tohitdbff, the difference between slotting my attacks or not was marginal, i could only see it with herostats running. CoF on the other hand is a great power (altho its DA, and not DM)
Long story short, you are better off slotting for endrdx/rechrdx than tohitdbff in your DM attacks.
