Ok, I am rolling a Dark Tank tonight. I used to tank way back with an Inv/Em tank (remember, herding whole maps at once?). I have a Kat/Dark Scrapper who is awesome ( lvl 33 so far ). Just wondering what a good secondary would be for it. Thinking maybe Kinetic. I have played the death out. Of SS on my Brute. Is the -dmg noticeable? I am thinking it might pair nice with Darkest Night from the Soul Patron set.

I would recommend Kinetic Melee. Stacking stuns, good knockdown mitigation, and the -DMG debuffs will stack nicely with your resists.
EDIT: Plus you can color Dark Armor and Kinetic Melee in really exciting ways.
My guides:Dark Melee/Dark Armor/Soul Mastery, Illusion Control/Kinetics/Primal Forces Mastery, Electric Armor
"Dark Armor is a complete waste as a tanking set."
Speaking of dark armour, tried making a cheap S/L/N/E softcapped build, and need advice. (other than the obvious opgrades which would make it more expensive, unless it significantly improves performance)
Cons:
HUGE end usage. (getting cardiac alpha!)
No recharge bonuses.
No slow resistance.
Pros:
Mostly yellow recipes save for Eradication, ToE +end proc, Miracle +recov, Rectified Recticle, Zephyr.
Softcapped S/L/N/E.
So... any advice?

Go to player guides and search for "the magic of the popmenu"
Usually I'd find it for you but it's not easy on a phone without multiple windows.
