I took a Dark/Dark to 50...and promptly retired her. It was sheer stubbornness that I got her to 50 at all.

Debuff tanks are just kind of squishy imo. They're good if you're not the main tank.

Are you looking for opinions on the build, or suggestions? Your post wasn't very in depth.

Suggestions. Please.

Personally I'd try a different aura/armour, but that's my opinion after seeing the MASSIVE end drain the dark aura brings to the table.

Now I never really went for the IO sets with Minerva, but I know that I had to have all my armours 6 slotted just so I could put end reduction on them, otherwise just having them all running at once would completely drain my endurance while standing in one place.

It's ok for a team build, since most of your attacks/armours are debuff. I would jump in, drop my attacks to debuff the groups, then leap back and try to attack from the edges while the other tank kept the aggro.

Some of us have many different types of Tankers and quite frankly don't mind what the challenges are, some how, some way we are just going to over come them.

Rather than simply say "Here's my Dark/Darks build" which would be easy I want to direct you to this guide:

http://dechskaison.blogspot.com/2011...cks-build.html

It's Dark/Fire but that doesn't matter, you can still analyze it, determine what you can from it and perhaps change your build to suit. In particular with your build I am not keen on the Dark Regeneration slotting.

The "I can't do it therefore no one can" mentality should never exist because we all have different experiences. People say its hard on the endurance but I would like to see their builds in order to see why, it maybe hard for them but it isn't always for others.

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

I'd forgotten about that link.

Looking at what you did I found it costly, low in defense numbers and some powers slotted alot for bonuses but giving little back as the power does little to begin with in itself.

I did this much cheaper, more easily obtainable build using what you have where with one luck your able to soft cap all but Psi pretty much.

It is different to my own, I have afterburner for a start on herding, taking alphas, focused accuracy for its tohit debuff resistance and soft capped S/L, mine is a bit more expensive and still an experiment.

Here is what I did for you: The Dark Regen slotting has a proc in it which gives you endurance, I put in Acrobatics to free up slots for other powers and this build should handle it, if you fight with travel powers on then maybe, maybe not so well.

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Here's a different option for you. Soft capped to s/l. Doesn't run out of endurance. Originally based off of Jebe the Pirate's Dark tank guide.

Here's a second option. It's something I'm considering for my Dark/dark tank, but this will soft cap s/l/e/n. I don't know how the endurance will play out, but it should be ok.

I didn't have time earlier to really go into detail, but I do want to mention that if you are having endurance problems on a dark tank, please take a look at Jebe the Pirate's Dark tank Guide. It maybe an older guide (i14) but a lot of the suggestions he made are still viable within the game.

Influence may not be a problem for you, but with the build you have posted, endurance certainly will be. Almost nothing is sufficiently slotted for end reduction--including your two most end hungry powers, Dark Regen and Death Shroud--and overslotting Physical Perfection will NOT take up the slack.

If you're going to build for typed defense, which would be my recommendation, try to hit either 32.5% or 45% to S/L, and if possible, E/NE as well. As I'm sure you know, 45% is the soft-cap for defense, and 32.5% puts you within a small luck of the soft-cap.

Currently, this build is slotted very inefficiently; here's what I'd change and why I'd change it:

Death Shroud is a very high-end toggle and purple sets don't offer much end reduction. If you are determined to keep the Armageddon set, put it in another AoE power. Eradication is a good choice, but 5 slotting with it it definitely NOT; it's underslotted for end reduction. I'd use a combination of 3-4 Erad with 1-2 IOs from another set to provide some additional end reduction--Multi Strike or Scirocco's Dervish work well.

I wouldn't 5 slot with Kinetic Combat either, since it leaves the attack low in accuracy and damage. Drop the KB proc and add a high level IO from another set that provides accuracy and damage; I like the Mako's quad for it.

Titanium Coating is a very poor choice for your resistance toggles; you can get the same amount of S/L defense with 4 slots of Reactive Armor that it takes 6 slots of TC to get, and RA has a E/NE bonus as well. Drop DE, MS and OS back to four slots of RA, and four slot Tough with it as well. Currently Tough is very underslotted for resistance, and you need all the S/L resistance you can get! The Steadfast Res/End is pointless, use the Steadfast +KB and add a Steadfast +Def as the fifth and sixth slots in one of the res toggles.

Dark Regen needs at least 60% end reduction (it takes 1/3 of your end bar unslotted) and the Theft of Essence +End. To get there, I'd frankenslot so you have sufficient end reduction, accuracy, recharge and heal. You can also 3-slot Eradication there if you need the E/NE def.

SS is overslotted. I'd drop everything but the Celerity Stealth, though you might also want to add a Winter's Gift Slow Resist.

Siphon Life is a Superior damage attack and should be slotted like one. I'd put a Kinetic Combat set there, plus a couple of slots from a Heal set. IMO, it doesn't need to be heavily slotted for Heal since you have Dark Regen as well.

Cloak of Darkness is overslotted; pull a slot so you can 4-slot Weave with LotG. Weave is a relatively high-end toggle so you should make sure you have at least 40% end reduction there.

Having the BotZ KB global in SJ is fine, though having 8 points of KB protection won't help much more than 4. I'd try to add another KB IO so you'll be up to 12.

The FF +Recharge in Kick is pointless unless you're going to use Kick regularly. Pull it and put it in one of your other AoEs if you want to keep it.

Combat Jumping uses almost no endurance, so replace the Def/End with an LotG Def.

Physical Perfection is way overslotted for end mod--it has half the base recovery of Stamina but you gave it more than twice as many slots! I'd go with 3-4 slots in Stamina and maybe 2 in PP.

There are some Taunt sets with excellent bonuses, like Mocking Beratement and Perfect Zinger. If you can free up 5 slots I'd six slot it with one of those sets, but you'll have to take it earlier to do that.

Here's your build with the changes I recommended; it's with 1% of soft-capping S/L and has around 37% E/NE def. End use will be much improved in this build as well.

It looks exactly as it was before. Which is fine if you insist on being okay with your build in the first place. Everything people do is a suggestion and hopefully like me would of took them about 5 to 10 mins so as not to take up too much of their time.

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

I just tested your build on Beta and seems its completely fine on endurance, its S/L def can be higher but everything else his completely fine.
