Staminaless spines/dark ?
I think without Stamina you will be very challenged. I have a Spines Fire and with Stamina and a Chance for End Proc I am often sucking wind AND I have consume to fill my end bar as well. IMO its not worth skipping Stamina.
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-
After playing a bit with the new Mid's i tried to fit blaze mastery in my spines/dark build... But i was not really happy with the loss of tough and the redraw. So i began to fiddle with body mastery and came up with that.

Set Bonus Totals:
The recovery i get in Mid's with this build is actually slightly better than what i have with stamina on my old build (it's not very well IO'd out), with conserver power and blue pills i think it should be fine. However the whole idea of removing stamina on a build well known for being one of the worst end hogs out there seems a little crazy.
I'm used to toggle management so it seems like it could work. On the other hand, i could get rid of tough, not only my EPS spent on toggles would go down, but i could add stamina on top of that and sit with a very nice 4,6 (or something like that i don't remember) end recovery. Or just go back to stamina + blaze mastery.
I can't decide what to do with it, i tried blaze mastery with SO and my cheap build and i just nuked my endurance bar so far it was ridiculous. I felt squishy as well on The Wall without tough, which is why i would love to fit it somewhere in the build.
One little question as well, about Energy torrent : is it a guaranteed knockdown or only 50% chance (or whatever) ? I miss Shockwave on my spines/dark so i even thought about slotting it for KB, although i fear the cone is too narrow to make an effective use of it.
Thoughts on that ?
