My Dark/Dark Corr needs heavy tweaking

Erhnam · 01-23-2012 09:23 AM

I started this game playing a Dark/Dark/Dark Defender which I loved, specially when grouping. But it killed me how pitiful the damage was, even if it was nearly impossible to kill, even on SOs after the ED. I left he game before the villain cap was raised to 50

I came back shortly after freedom, stayed Premium for a while, then went VIP. I learned (and Im still learning) about IOing, sets, procs, whatever. I rolled a few characters, I enjoyed some more than other (fire/kin troller, bot/traps mm, demon/dark mm, ill/cold troller, plant/psy dom, elec/elec dom, fire/tw tank, stj/wp scrap)...some are 50, some are not, a few got deleted. As you see I've been bussy :P

The thing is, no character has "clicked" me like my old D3. I tried picking it back, made a new SO build (this time with inherent fitness)...and as before, it was really safe, but slow. So I thought about making the mirror one, and so rolled a Dark/Dark corruptor. TT+Nightfall+Scourge is just a beauty. Bonus points if Tar Patch is active. Currently at level 25ish after 3 days of casual playing.

I tried putting a good IO build, but I have failed miserably. I wanted to aim for softcap ranged, but I realized that with FS, fluffy, DN, and dark blast -tohit I dont really need hit, so tried to get some more aoe/melee def, just in case. And I also wanted perma hasten, I might be asking for too much

This is my build. It has some empty slots. I've tried to do it 3 or 4 times, but I always end up missing something, defenses, slotting, key powers, recharge... Any help?

Budget is good. If possible, avoid using full purples sets, but I will get them if they are necesary. 2 bill ios, I can afford 2 or 3, but Id rather not, I have more chars to IO! :P

Bump! I could really use some pointers... please!

Erhnam · 01-24-2012 05:45 AM

I have come up with this.

I have:

S/L/E/N/Ranged defenses between 25 and 27. This, with FS or DN should softcap to most incoming damage.

Hasten down to 8s downtime

TT converted to "Tenebrous Proctacles". Soul Drain has also Build Up proc and End proc...my past experiences tell me that D/D is an end hog, this may help, even if I lose some raw damage

Had to use Ragnarok on Nightfall.

Moonbeam is a mule set. Between Gloom and Drain Life (plus Dark Miasma stuff) I should have enough ST chain to be able to skip Dark Blast. If needed, I can use TT or NF during ST combat. If I exemplar too low...well, thats why we have several builds :P

PG is 90% mule, but is still a good power to have, lost Soul Transfer

In the end, I would love another Rech in Tar Patch and HT, perma-hasten, and bring defenses close to 30, but slots are not infinite :P

Suggestions, please?
