DM/Shield Build Help
Put one more Mako in Siphon Life, and one less Numina. Siphon Life is an attack that heals, not a heal that attacks.
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."

oh and any powers that aint slotted are only because i couldnt find a set to boost defense
thanks for the feedback narok yea id have to agree with that as well but when i was slotting siphon life i couldnt find a way to improve defense so i thought of getting some regen becasue there was nothing else
also i think i can lose a slot in AAO as well and jus stick two end redux in there
I re-slotted your build such that the defense is soft-capped.

thanks for the feedback twilight
the build looks good and as u said it hits the softcap
the only thing it seems it might struggle on end if in a prolonged fight but still a gud build none the less and one im gonna try my hand at
need help on this build and im pretty sure i got all the slotting wrong but im trying to hit the softcap for all 3 positions and so far this is the best ive come up.....

the power choices are not required as i have picked them and other power picks instead of others would be acceptable apart from obvious picks such as MG and SC although id like to retain fly if possible but if not no big loss
im also gonna point out that my budget isnt unlimited lol so things like purples and pvp are probably out of my range although i do have about 1 billion to spend on this give or take a couple hundred mill
all feedback welcome
