Its my first and primary character that I still play. Honestly Dark armor endurance woes were made worse than they actually are. Divine avalanche gives you defense so your not so reliant upon dark regen as other dark armor scrappers will be. You have good single target and aoe capabilities as the build progresses.
Personally I would go with sting of the wasp or gamblers cut, divine avalanche, build up, lotus drops, soaring dragon, and golden dragonfly as my primary. At first you may want flashing steel but eventually your going to find you have too many attacks and might want to drop one out.
I would select the fitness (hurdle, health, stamina) and the leaping pool (combat jump and superjump)
Get atleast some knockback protection from the io's like steadfast resistance and karma
Take all of dark armor only passing on either CoF or OG (personally I would take OG less slots less endurance drain) and you can choose to skip soul transfer as well.
That will leave you with room for powers such as boxing, tough, and hasten...along with your epics if you want to go that route.
Really Expensive IO build
this gives me pretty good range and aoe defense with some melee defense that divine avalanche helps fill in.

Hey folks,
Not a frequent poster, but I do read quite a bit to get info on builds. I was thinking of a concept for a Kat/DA, particularly for when Going Rogue (I know it won't be a for a while) comes about? How viable is it? I know DA is quite the endurance hog. Any suggestions? I'm all ears.
