Dark/Invul I/O questions

Heyas, still looking for the final concept for my dark/Invul build. Done some research. It looks like if I build for Defense of 45% smash/lethal, I will need to buy sets at the low range of levels (less bonuses) so that I do not exemplar down below the set bonus levels. ( I plan to do a lot of Ouroboros).

What if I outfitted with Purples and LOTGs as the main drive instead? This would bring up my Invul Heal fast, my dark damage boost permanent (or near), my dark combat heal could be spammed if needed, my large damage attack chain would cycle fast, and my Unstoppable would be up almost every spawn (as long as I dont mind crashing every 3 minutes), any end problems are solved by the very regular AoE attack/End restore in dark. (Plus would give me a ghetto AoE regularly.

Any thoughts?

Sheesh, tough room. No one has a thought as to whether a Recharge heavy Dark/Invul woould be better than a Defense Cap heavy Dark/Invul? C'mon, someone has to have a cogent thought on this!

depending on how much recharge u aiming for it could be VERY good. with invules heal/+hp going off very fast and often and its base def/resist being very good to start with. it could turn out to be beter then a def heavy in many ways. just the recharge build well cost ALOT more. a wont start to shine tell u are 80-90% done IOing out the build.

I've got most of what I need already, probably 95%. The last thing I need is a 5th full set of purples (and a place to cram them in). My thoughts are this will be a much better toon for exemplaring down, cause the recharge will hold all the way to 1st, with most of it being from purples. Then a few 25th LOTG (which I already have) that will stay active until 22. It will not be as tanky, but I think the performance could be very interesting, especially with Soul Drain, and the Invul Heal firing way fast and regular.

Is the villain Tip mish bonus power Frenzy affected by Global Recharge?

i am going to have to say no with the tip mish power.. thow i may be wrong(someone who knows beter plz post)

if u are already pretty much set up. then worse come ot worse u have a crazy recharge build. and just full in a def build for when its needed.

the prob is 5 sets of purples take a lot of room, not much area to place the defense bonus sets, and without 45% then it won't help much.

with the recharge u well heave your heal up alot. u are more or less an /elec brute with a little less resist over all. but more def over all(lol w/o sets weave/CJ/Manuver elec has no def at all)
your heal isnt as good elecs but u make up for it with a huge hp pool. and darks heal.

thare well be limits to how hard of enemys u can fight. but u may have to take a hit to your recharge for def. but try and find a balance between the 2. aim for purma hasten then get a little s/l def(aim for 35-40) then try and get more recharge if u can. if not go for more max hp. or a litte more def.

Blue, I posted my build in my Dark/Dark/Soul guide; check out the sets I dropped in. I went for +HP, +Recharge, and +Accuracy.

Thanks Nal, I have a dark/dark at 36 currently, will look at this for him. Looks like you only have 8 pts KB prot? Or did I miss somethin? My dar/dark only has 4 I/Os so far, 3 @4 pts KB prot, and that End Rech that goes in the AoE heal (that thing was pricey!)

I hate being sent flying, and 8 pts is the same as four in the game, so I got 12. rock steady now.
