Dark/Dark Tank Defense soft cap help...
You are way past the ED cap for healing in Dark Regeneration, while it could use a LOT more recharge. Dark Regeneration hits multiple targets. Even if you didn't enhance the healing portion, you could heal to full health by hitting 4-6 targets. Also, more recharge means more HP/s. If you dropped it down to heal 40% of your HP and got the recharge to 15s, you would be healing more overall HP/s against a single target.
Thanks Syntax . I have now got this down to a 14.99 second recharge with a 50% heal.
With all def bonuses and CJ running i'm looking at:
46.3% Def S/L
46.3% Def E/N
21.3% Def F/C
23.2% Def Psi
33.8% Def Melee
34.7% Def Ranged
21.3% Def AoE
on top of my:
71% Res S/L
31.3% Res E
64.9% Res N
47% Res F/C
31.7% Res Toxic
78.3% Res Psi
do these figures look ok for soft capping or if not how can i improve?
Thanks

In terms of defense it's fine, but it has some other serious problems IMO. Most of the attacks are underslotted, including for end reduction.
Death Shroud and Cloak of Fear are underslotted for end reduction, and Dark Regen has absolutely no end reduction! Those three powers are the big end users in the set and should have at least 50-60% end reduction each. That is absolutely going to kill your end bar.
In addition, all four attacks slotted with Kinetic Combat are underslotted for Accuracy and Damage and need a fifth slot.
Another Reactive Armor set would make more sense than the Imperv Armor, then you could drop one of the Cleaving Blow sets and use one of the slots elsewhere.
Here's the sort of thing I'd do with your build. It's still soft-capped, and most of the attacks are slotted better than they were. I was able to get DS and DR well-slotted for end reduction, but Cloak of Fear is still a problem. Even frankenslotted it needs at least 3 slots to get adequate accuracy and end reduction. so I'd consider dropping it for something that doesn't need to be slotted so heavily. Oh, and I also put more end reduction in Weave and Cloak of Darkness.

Knight Court--A CoH Story Complete 2/3/2012
Hey...
I have always wanted to create a dark/dark toon and decided on a tanker.
After discovering these could be a tad on the weak side I did alot of forum reading and adapted this tank build. Im still very new to IO sets so would like a bit of help and feedback on tweaks which would help my build.
Thanks in advance.
