I doubt the build is playable with only 1.58 EPS net recovery. I may just be more inefficient than others, but in my experience I found softcapped fire/dark unplayable without cardiac.
Instead of assault I would get tactics. Dark has no -def and this fixes its only weakness nicely.
Fearsome stare needs to be slotted for -ToHit, not fear. 4 cloud senses works nicely, or 6 if you want some energy def.
Howling twilight should be slotted endredux/rech (it is autohit). I recommend 2x rech 1x endredux common IOs, if you can find a third slot.
Black hole is useless. Skip it. You can consider petrifying gaze instead, which is a good basilisk's gaze mule.
Quote:
Adjusted version, swapped to Cardiac Core Paragon, moved some slots around. Took your advice on Fearsome Stare and Clouded Senses. Was IO'ing Howling Twilight, see now that was foolish for 4% +Regen. Black Hole is taken for concept, the player I'm building it for wants it. Also, would have to boggart slots to get to 4 for the good bonus. But, regardless, here's the update... Still <5% shy of soft-cap, but should be plenty survivable, end sustainable, and if really enjoyed, I can convince the player to go for Barrier Core...|

Very nice build. S/L/E softcapped defense and no purples and 3.83 end/sec. Recharge isn't great at 78% (no Hasten) but you've got a decent attack chain so DPS should be fine. Very affordable as well!

So, dinnae get much attention posting in someone else's thread, so bringing it up here. With Agility Core Paragon, up or damn close to it... can also drop the Res/End in Shadow Fall for the PvP 3%...
Either way, how can I make this better?
