Dark/therm is an interesting beast. It is amazing on teams with the +res and -to hit. You can call it a late bloomer for soloing with heat exhaustion and melt armor coming late in the set.
I have tested a lot of the powers in the set, and I would say I did not have need for Dark Pit or Life Drain. With warmth it was enough for me to keep my health bar up.
For a while I keep dark blast out of my chain but with a rebuild I put it in and it is nice to have, but it is all up to taste. Your bread and butter of the Dark Blast is TT and NF. These two are sweet for AOE goodness. So go with an AOE chain, this dishing is nice. I hope this helps a bit, if you have any more questions I can try to help.
...Thermal Radiation I know. A 50 Fire/Thermal Troller under the belt and a 23/24 Elec/Thermal on the rise.
However, with Dark/Thermal, my problem is Dark Blast.
Should I skip Dark Blast? Life Drain? I don't see many builds using it, but I also want a good ST attack string to go with the AOE chain.
A friend said I should take Dark Pit, but looking at it, I'm just not sure. It's a mag 2 stun, but in the builds I'm seeing, I don't see this power taken either.
Any help on just the Dark Blast side of things, or on the Dark/Thermal combo all together, would be appreciated.
