Fire/Dark build critique
Tar patch doesnt need 3 slow IMO, drop one and put it as damage in fire blast.
Fire breath at L30?!? It's the other big gun of the set, other being fireball, take fire breath at L8, swift at 6, aim at L30 and drop rain of fire to 35.
Also, might want one recharge in fearsome stare.
Other than that, looking good.

Fire Breath is no good as an "Oh [censored]!" power, though. Tar Patch + RoF = big bunch of slowed mobs that don't know what the [censored] whilst you hide behind a box and throw fireballs/blasts every so often, as opposed to a group of angry mobs staring at you whilst you breathe fire onto them. Admittedly, DN should render most of that aggro useless, but if you want to play more cautiously then the original path listed is a decent way to go about it.
The only problem I have with the build is that Aim isn't taken much sooner, but you can't have it all.

As Max has said, tar patch doesnt need that many slows in. It should mainly be used for the -resist rather than the slow, 3 recharges are the best slotting then add one or maybe 2 slows. I'd also try and get darkest night earlier but if you can't lvl 12 should be ok. Fearsome stare with 5 slots is probably best slotted 1 acc, 2 fear, 2 recharge. You can put a tohitdebuff in there aswell instead of a recharge but with darkest night and dark servant heavily slotted for debuffs I don't think it would make too much difference.
Same really for petrifying gaze, instead of 3 holds maybe slot with 1 acc, 2 hold and 1 recharge so it can be stacked onto bosses etc.
Thanks for the speedy replies guys:
Iv've tweaked a little to bring Aim, Fire Breath and Darkest Night earlier, and taken a slot from Tar Patch to put into Fire Blast. As a trade off, Recall Friend is much later (its a 'nice to have' power really) and taken the fitness tree and Howling Twilight back 2 levels..

Better?
Ouch, blaze at L35... Could you drop shadow fall to later levels? Don't find it that necessary myself...
I would get Darkest Night as soon as possible it is the best power in the DM set. I also agree with Max in that I prefer BoF to RoF and would choose that in preference.
Don't listen to these peeps telling you to take rain of fire late! Take is as soon as you can after tar patch. Rain of fire will do enormous damage to the tar patched guys.
One recharge in rain and 3 in tar patch will synchronise them.
