Drop hover in favour of Air Superiority, it is by far the most useful pool power for direct crowd control ever. You will be in the middle of the fight all the time and flipping a boss or nasty leut every 3 seconds is priceless.
Get stamina, yes, you are dark but you will NEED stamina, unless you plan on waiting between each fight or doing +0 your level mobs all the time. You also will need Hasten, having your tar patch up almost stacking and having your fear and hold up all the time is also priceless and your paper frail zombies will thank you for keeping that LB burner held all the time. Drop grant invis, you probably don't need it, you can start with the Leadership pool at 30 or get Soul Extraction then.
Hope this helps!

1.) Zombie Horde
2.) Tar Patch
3.) 2 slots in Zombie Horde (3)
4.) Darkest Night
5.) 1 slot Twilight Grasp(2), 1 slot Zombie Horde(4)
6.) Enchant Undead
7.) 1 slot Twilight Grasp(3), 1 slot Zombie Horde(5)
8.) Air Superiority (1 slot acc)
9.) 1 slot Twilight Grasp (4), 1 slot Zombie Horde(6)
10.) Hasten (slot this 3 asap)
11.) 1 slot Twilight Grasp (5), 1 slot Darkest Night (2)
12.) Grave Knight
13.) 2 slots in Grave Knight (3)
14.) Fly
15.) 2 slots in Grave Knight (5)
16.) Swift
17.) 1 slot Grave Knight (6), 1 slot Shadow Fall (2)
18.) Health
19.) 1 slot Shadow Fall (3), 1 slot Soul Extraction (2)
20.) Stamina
21.) 2 slots stamina (3)
22.) Fearsome Stare
23.)
24.) Shadow Fall
25.) 2 slots in Tactics (3)
26.) Lich
27.) 2 slots in Lich (3)
28.) Petrifying Gaze
29.) 1 slot in Lich (4), 1 slot in Petifying Gaze (2)
30.) Soul Extraction
31.) 2 slots in Lich (6), 1 slot in Darkest Night (3)

Thing is...I'm just passing level 30 currently, and I can push +2/x1 with only moderate difficulty - and even still, it isn't stamina that is really my problem. In the -worst- case, I have blue inspirations to pop.
Air Superiority is interesting though...I figured it was mostly only really good for PvP.
Thanks for the help.
Air Superiority is almost essential for my tankermind concepts. It's ridiculous how effective it can be in an attack chain. I use it on all kinds of characters.
Alright. So I picked up a CoH Planner and panned out a full build.
In light of this and some other discussion...Turns out I'd be left with a few spare points in the 40-50 range that I'd spend on 'luxury powers' (i.e. powers I don't need, but would only consider because I have spare points).
In light of that, I forewent Howling Twilight and dropped Dark Blast to pick up stamina by 20, and fixed some slotting. I plan on picking up HT again in the mid 30's along with possibly AS or TP Foe.
Admittedly, I'm already feeling some of the bite in wishing I had taken AS sooner. Though, for most of my experience, the problem has been groups of enemies moreso than any one particular person I've had to lockdown.

This is a path that I was looking to pursue. I'm going without stamina in this, which is part of why I don't have a personal power. If I'm going to burn anything, I'd want it to be on healspam which would return more than any gloom or dark blast could. I definitely wanted to max slots on all summons, as well a stack resists in Shadow Fall. With Tactics, I'd need about 1 acc boost in each summon with the rest free to do other things with.
Acc and damage on the zombies; acc, damage, knockback and debuff on the Knights, and an all-around setup for the lich I figure.
Tactics would get a stamina/accuracy boost, Shadow Fall would get resistance/stam boosts, and Fearsome Stare would get recharge, fear, and acc debuff boosts.
Some might not like Grant Invisibility at the end, there...Though, while I'm not planning to stealth much, the 9% defense granted is nothing to sneeze at.
Thoughts overall?
