Hi all,
Generally my lvl 50 dark defender only sees the light of day in the arena/base raids when snhs take it into there heads to take on art of war lol. At present DD is very much a PvE build but post I7 with the likely respec and the new high lvl pvp zone I thought I might try to respec her to a PvP build.If you can stop laughing at this point and check out the build, constructive comments would be welcome

Ermmmm for pvp not so sure-thought about torrent for knockback and decreased acc. We have disorients in for example howling twilight and immobilise in tentacles but pretty crappy in PvP when I have tried to use them in past.
Cant get into another pool-suppose could take manouvers?. Any suggestions

Right had a think about this Max is of course right about life drain and I was never really happy with it as it is widely regarded as useless-so could go for Nightfall-cone attack/Tentacles for immobilise and damage (U never know someone might of run out of bfs)/Fly or recall friend from the pools at this point or if anyone thinks a target dependent heal is invaluable twilight grasp is always available Think looking at the numbers manuvers is pretty useless to. Cheers DD

Take the tentacles attack! Really, a cone immob is s great asset in casual PvP. Not everyone takes the leaping pool powers

Have changed to electric mastery epic pool on this one-Whats more of a pain to people-someone with dominate and telekinesis or someone with another immobilise in electric fence, an epic armour with resistance to energy and of course thunder strike.
Thanks DD

Tentacles also has fairly high ToHit debuff, IIRC higher than anything else in the set.

Agreed on that one-plus signature power for dark blast and dark defender of course

telekinesis is a major pain for your enemy in PvP. afaik its autohit, but i could be wrong. And of course being a toggle, it can keep your enemy held till either you run out of end or his friend decides to pummel on you.

For the rest it looks pretty decent, of course you could try to squeeze in the jumping pool for acrobatics. Just remember that for team pvp, focussing on acc debuffs is great. Acc already is lower in pvp, and when you can even lower that, you are bound to be near-invincible

"god, how many devs did hami have to sleep with to get ED?"

lol very likely with the amount of toggles going here-seriously ty for input

Eureka (as they say) I think I have it, a build I am pretty happy with. The concept is too be very annoying with lots of to hit debuffs and the psychic mastery series until I get put out of my misery lol. Hopefully in a team with vengence at the ready to enhance our offense while decreasing the opponents ability to attack.Tp foe into tarpatch and pet should be fun to . As I said I fully expect to be stomped on hence the quick escape route of the jump series and teleport.
Please have a look especially at the slotting and give me some opinions.
TY DD

PS ignore the slot numbering just stuck them in-will do it in some sort of logical order with the build itself
