Looking for DM/SR advice.
Decided to break my DM/SR out and give it a go. I know alot of people seem have fallen in love with DM/SD but I already have a Fire/SD. Been scanning the pages for a solid build or even thread on DM/SR but nothing.
I dont really want to slot purps because I feel the price far outweighs the gains. I should also mention that I plan on doing some of the more difficult solo encounters like Pilons and AVs with leveling along the way. |

Dark/Shield Build Thread
Thanks Santo. Question. Is Maneuvers needed to reach the soft cap or could I just slot some ToDs?
Also, what is the attack chain with that build and would I be able to reach one just using MG, Smite and SL?

Dark/Shield Build Thread
Here's my DM/SR - managed a pylon in about 15 minutes first try - I've been busy farming influence for another build so I haven't had time to try again yet.
Attack chain is standard DM MG - Smite - Siphon - Smite. Due to Arcanaville's awesome work on the server's clock timer, we now know that shadow punch and buzzsaw builds in general are not as good as was once thought. Also, Midnight Grasp received some shiny-ness in terms of a greatly shortened dot time and more upfront damage. Siphon Life also received significant damage buffs which make it do more damage per activation time than Shadow punch. I can show my napkin math if you would like to see it.
One purple set (Hecatomb) in smite, but you could swap it out for crushing impact if your budget doesn't permit the hecatombs. I agree that purples are generally overrated, but since I use smite twice every 6.5 seconds, the purple set allowed me to slot another damage proc for more damage output.
