Nothing? Nothing could be done better? Power Pool picks are spot on? Lich and Dark Servant slotting are right on target, or should I go with generic IO's?
50 Inv/SS Tank, 50 Inv/EM Tank, 50 FA/SS Tank, 50 Shield/SS Tank, 50 WP/SS Tank, 50 Dark/Dark Tank, 50 EM/Elec Brute, 50 SS/FA Brute, 50 SS/SR Brute, 50 Fire/Kin Controller, 50 Plant/Storm Controller, 50 Earth/Therm Controller, 50 Necro/Dark MM, 50 Bots/FF MM, 50 Elec/SD Scrapper, 50 Arch/MM Blaster, 50 Emp/Psi Defender
Lich would benefit more from HOs than IOs. His primary function is control, not damage. Between his fear, hold, immobilize, and knock back, he'll be too busy using his Dark Blast (only pure damage attack) and Life Drain. So I'd use a mix of Acc/Mez, Dmg/Mez, or Acc/Dmg. Unless you're slotting specifically for set bonuses.
Thanx for the reply. I wasn't really going for any bonuses. I've seen too many different slotting suggestions to know what works best for the Lich. I'm not to familiar with HO's really. I was under the impression he had more damage-type attacks...or at least attacks that "also" do damage.
50 Inv/SS Tank, 50 Inv/EM Tank, 50 FA/SS Tank, 50 Shield/SS Tank, 50 WP/SS Tank, 50 Dark/Dark Tank, 50 EM/Elec Brute, 50 SS/FA Brute, 50 SS/SR Brute, 50 Fire/Kin Controller, 50 Plant/Storm Controller, 50 Earth/Therm Controller, 50 Necro/Dark MM, 50 Bots/FF MM, 50 Elec/SD Scrapper, 50 Arch/MM Blaster, 50 Emp/Psi Defender
The lich does have damaging attacks and I do not believe damage should be completely ignored. HO's are amazing for him like Rikis said, with them you can enhance his mez abilities, his damage, and his too hit debuffs. Do not sacrifice debuff for damage but if you can work a bit of both in then do so.
There is a lot of good things about zombies, durability is not one of those things. Necro really tends to shine when the MM uses bg mode and power pool provoke to tank for them. Might want to work provoke in since it not only makes your pets last longer but it makes you last longer since dead pets = dead mm.
As far as slotting for the Dark Servant the set you chose is probably the best set for it, but make sure it's perma even if you have to franken slot it. I tend to really enjoy adding a heal booster in there too.
If you're going to pick Soul Extraction I'd suggest slotting it too.
It's a great power and the Ghostie is a nice addition to your team. I use it every time it's available on my Necro/Dark, using a Zombie as Alpha bait in order to provide the corpse.
Ok...all my main projects are about done, looking to respec my Necro/DM MM for i19. Any glaring problems or holes? I'm mostly concerned with my Lich and Dark Servant slotting and choices. The lvl 49 OG was kind of a throw away...I was also thinking Recall friend, and maybe putting a stealth IO in Sprint. That would leave me an extra slot to put...where ever.
