Hey Guys, my very first villain was a dark melee/willpower stalker....i got him to level 30 over about 3 months or so. Then i decided to make SS/WP brute and my stalker got put on the back burner. When i got my brute to about 47 or 48 i decided that i didn't want to play the stalker anymore so i deleted it. That may have been the worst desicion in the game i have ever made. So, i have come to the forums to ask:

1) How "good" is DM/WP
2) I've heard this word "synergy", what does tht mean and does DM/WP have this "Synergy"
3) This toon will be a PvE toon so how should i build him?...Damage/Recharge or Survivabilty, etc.


Thank yall for your answers and suggestions

"Synergy, in general, may be defined as two or more agents working together to produce a result not obtainable by any of the agents independently."

So...sets that complement each other are said to have good synergy. Together they are worth more than the sum of their parts.

I've never played a DM/WP actually, but I can't think of much synergy off hand other than DM's -tohit aspect helping shore up WP's defenses. DM works really well with pure DEF sets, and Dark Armor.

I'm still trying to figure out a good build for WP's side of the archetype spectrum. Many bosses eat right through Strength of Will if you don't have your pop-heal up and ready to recover. Which is unfortunate as I love popping the Tier 9 and turning the tides to what could be an exciting battle, only for a stray swipe to knock me flat on my face. It's much more difficult in my opinion to play WP as a stalker than a scrapper, to where you need additional powers just to support it (Tough and Weave).
