Claws/Dark

I've decided to roll a Claws/Dark Brute and came up with a build with pretty good numbers. Looking to see if I can improve it.

I skipped Shockwave because I'm not a fan of knockback and I should have sufficient AoE witout it with Spin, Eviscerate, Elec Fences, Ball Lightning, and Death Shroud.

The thing I'm mostly wondering about is if Follow Up needs some more loving with slots? Kept only the base slot in there with a Hecatomb Acc/Rech. Enhancing the damage portion of it seemed unnecessary. What do you think?

Forgot to note...ignore the slot levels. Just put this together quickly for a level 50 build.

Strike doesn't have enough acc even with bonuses, though maybe follow up will take care of that.

You have one great big glaring hole though. Where's Focus?

You definitely want focus.

Was thinking Mu Lightning could replace Focus since I despise KB in general. I'll have to wait and see till I'm at a higher level and see how I like it. Focus has the same cast time, but a lower recharge and does more damage, so it definitely looks appealing.

It's knockdown, not knockback.

Oh yes I see that now, it's only .67. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, this is my first time playing Claws.
