Trying to io out my old thugs/dark mm, base is flooded with salvage so time to start crafting. I don't play this character enough to justify buying purps. Tried to build for s/l defense, but did not get very far. If anyone can give me some suggestions, I'd love to hear it.

Made a few slight changes to the build, mostly replacing Dark Embrace with Scorpion Shield for the defense and then switching the IO sets in your Fearsome Stare. You end up nearly softcapped to s/l.
