Dark/WP help please

Below is an initial build I have going for my new dark/wp brute. Several things, I'm gonna use beast run so no travel. I tried to overslot for end mod so I can run beast run all the time. I was trying to get as much defense as I could to most things. S/L is a lil lower than I'd like, but that is where my highest resist is, but also most of the def debuffs. I tried to get as many recharge bonuses without sacrificing defense at the same time. It seems pretty well rounded with layered defenses in def/resist/healing. Accuracy seems on the low side as well. Midnight grasp is underslotted I know, but I'm debating on not taking it for theme reasons.

Any thoughts/suggestions? Also, if anybody has a good dark/wp build laying around I'd appreciate it to compare as well, first time IO'n either of these sets.

Overall I like the build, but one change I would make is how you slotted MG. I think you have it underslotted. It is hardest hitting single target attack in the set and should be 6 slotted over Shadow Punch, so move those 2 slots over there. When you do that it also lets you slot Stamina much earlier since the slots you had in Shadow Punch are from level 5 and 7.

Yeah, ill probably switch those slots if nothing else, however I'd like to slot them both really, but unsure where to steal from. Also, its a final build, I'll probably just run SOs on the way to 50 to see it play out, although ill get some of the procs as they become available and/or drop.

I made my DM/WP a scrapper, however a brute would have been a much better choice. That being said, I think my build could help you some. First, a few notes:

- You won’t need energy mastery on this build. I’m guessing you took it because you used up many of your slots already and those don’t relay require much. However, they won’t help you much either.

- Are you picking taunt for grapping someone from a distance? If so, ok. The power also has some nice slotting options for you if you decide to slot it up some. Don’t get me wrong, I would build up some of your other powers first though.

- You don’t have combat jumping. Your defense is not very high and neither is your recharge. I’m a firm believer that these power sets together could really use both. Placing a LotG/Recharge will help some.

- RttC does not need 3 slots of discouraging words. Sure it helps, but picking up haste and slotting it or putting those slots into other powers would be a better benefit.

There are some other things I would change, but it might be easier to just provide my build. I took fire epic on the first, which adds more AoE opportunities. The second build is one I might be switching into. It has much better def. I’ve asked for feedback on both of my builds, but honeslty there are some who don’t like the DM/WP combo because they don’t have great synergy. In fact, I agree with that opinion; it’s not together as good as other dark options such as /inv or /sd. However, it’s not a bad combo either.

Also, on my first build I really should have switched shadow drain and dark consumption.

K thanks for posting your builds. I didn't take CJ because I was planning on running beast run all the time, and it and CJ don't like eachother. That is also why the energy mastery, although its a nice side effect that they require no slots, and take the perf shifter procs.

This one is tweaked a lot using some of your ideas. I'm really close to s/l cap without using the glad +def. The regen took a hit but not too much I do'nt think.

And also, I would think dark/wp has a lot of synergy. Dark to hit debuffs stack with RttC, and dark has a heal to help with the regen of wp. I see how dark/sd might be better, and I might try that instead really, the idea of soul drain and AAO together seems cool.

What about something like this?

Big thing. Drop Shadow Maul. It sucks quite bad unfortunately.

Thanks for the builds, definatly some comparisons to look at there. Big thing I noticed was the glad proc, which alone costs enough to IO out several other characters. Well see on that one, whether I like the toon enough to drop that on him.

Also, I quite enjoy Shadow Maul, especially on a set that has no aoe ( not counting the two aoe buffs, which are on quite long timers)
