DM/WP - Need Build Help Please!

Hoping for some build suggestions/examples….

Is it possible to make a relatively cheap build for DM/WP that has 100hp per sec. regen and enough recharge for a good attack chain (with gloom)? This is for my first 50 and my first foray into Set IO’s. As far as his focus, I would just like to be effective in pick-up groups and not worry about running out of Endo. These are the powers I would like to use, but nothing is set in stone:

Would this be expensive? Doesn't seem to have enough recharge for a good attack chain...

It wouldn't be cheap, really.

What was your planned attack chain? Maybe swapping out shadow maul or touch of fear for shadow punch could clean it up a bit?

Thank you for your reply.

I have no planned attack chain. I usually click on whatever power is available and appropriate to take out the target most efficiently. Is 100 hp a second even possible? I have yet to make anything in Mids that comes near that.

What I really need are some cheap build examples and tips. I've read Heraclea's (always makes great posts) "Live Through This" from the Brute Guide and I just don't understand the build when I look at the "Totals for Self".

My first thought is that a Willpower Brute with Quick Recovery and Stamina shouldn't ever have an endurance problem. What about adding Dark Consumption to your build? (I sometimes treat it like an aoe with benefits)

If you slotted Acc/Damx3/Endredux/Rechage in your chain of smite/siphon life/gloom/AirSup/MidGrasp you should be golden (not sure what the exact chain is but you can sprinkle in AirSup as needed). My attack chain is Gloom/Siphon Life/Midnight Grasp with Smite set on Auto. I sprinkle in Shadow Maul and Soul Drain whenever.

If you have enough single target attacks drop the Recharge in your attacks and add a total of 2 EndRedux.

Back before IO's and the buff to Siphon Life my DM/Fire Brute ran 2 Acc/2 Dam/2 EndRedux SO's in each attack and let his Fury take care of the damage buffage. With 2 slotted Swift he ran from group to group without stopping while maintaining high Fury %.

Thoughts on build:
1. Do you need Hasten? You have a multitude of attacks available already and your secondary doesn't have a click heal like Fire Armor that benefits from a quicker recharge.

2. Add Dark Consumption (see above) in conjunction with #1.

3. Heightend Senses as soon as it opens up at 28, huge mitigation. More important than tough early. Tough at 35 is fine.

4. I wouldn't slot up boxing, maybe not even AirSup unless you need it for attacks.

5. Touch of Fear is your choice. PVP certianly and as a boss debuffer. I dropped ToF and added Darkest Night debuff toggle when it got added to Dark Mastery.

Dark is a great single target set and the -acc has synergy with the Defense portion of Willpower.

Good Luck.

Also to get the 100hp/sec requires a soaked RttC. When running mids increase the number of enemies on Rise to the Challenge to the limit. Then check your hp/sec guessing that will get you close to the 100/sec range.

What I see as potential budget busters are some of the Numina IO's and the Steadfast IO's. Prices can fluctuate greatly, so you may be able to get them on the cheap - so once you get a decent nest egg - check the market for these sets every play session. The steadfasts are available for a relatively low amount of merits - though rolling those merits may end up being more profitable for you.

I think you'll be able to afford everything you want here and not too eventually if you get a few lucky valuable drops/devise and stick to a strategy for making inf.

Thank You all for your replies. I feel I understand the game and these Powersets much better from just what was posted here.

I have turned to reading the Scrapper Forums for more information on these Powerset choices. Umbral, Werner and Bill-Z-Bubba have alot of really good info. Looks like I will respec into something of my own design and try to attain the infamy needed for a more Umbral Billion kind of thing

This is gonna be fun!

Oh, by the way, is there anything more annoying than Malta Sappers?
