I'm gonna post a suggested build, but is there a particular reason you skipped Death Shroud? It's generally considered an important power.
SI Radio has many DJs and listeners whom hold City of Heroes close to their hearts. We will be supporting many efforts to keep CoH ALIVE!!
Keep in mind, I don't believe it's really worth it to soft cap Dark Armor.
I find it's more effective to collect defense bonuses to Smash/Lethal, and Energy damage. Energy Damage is a greater threat to Dark Armor but Smash/Lethal damage so common defense against has substantial boost to your survivability.
The trade off here is in order to achieve soft cap to Smash,Lethal, and Energy you will have to sacrifice endurance management. This should be manageable with Accolades, but I would strong recommend you slot your Alpha with Cardiac.

Thanks Desmodos for the time taken to reply. I do like the ideas in your build though ill have to skip the +3% def Glad IO cant see myself spending that hah.
I skipped Death shroud because of the scary end drain but i realize that its a great minion killer now.
Great guide btw!
Quote:
While I certainly understand how intimidating the cost of this IO can be, keep in mind you don't have to buy it at the market. It can be purchased via Alignment Merits. Sure if you have 2 Billion influence handy (I don't), you can save the trouble and just buy it at the market. Alignment merits take a bit longer (about two weeks if you're really hardcore about it), but hey, tweaked out builds shouldn't come easy, IMHO. |

I haven't been that hard core about it, so I'm still about 8 A Merits from mine...well that and the market ran out of LotG +Recharge and I was too inpatient to wait so there went 4 A Merits as well... Only a matter of time really, and I'm ok with that.

Thanks everyone for all the help I think this is the final unless you all see some holes
