I recently dusted off a much beloved defender and would sincerely appreciate some advice on updating her build. I kept her in hopes my husband would one day join me in game but that never came to pass. I love teaming and playing support toons. If you have a moment to take a look at her build I would be most grateful.

This is a Dark/Dark/Mace Corruptor build I've been working on that may give you some inspiration.

A few notes for you:
Life Drain is significantly better than it used to be as an attack, and can allow you to use Gloom->Dark Blast->Life Drain->Gloom as a single target attack chain with a bit of recharge. It's fairly respectable.

In most places, a 4th LOTG is not going to actually do much for you. Removing both of yours loses you 0.3% defense. Those are slots better spent elsewhere. You don't need the accuracy bonuses, and with an updated build you may end up taking Tactics anyway.

Dark loves Recharge. Consider using your newly open power slots for Maneuvers, Assault or Tactics, and Vengeance. You'll be bringing more +def all for your team, an offensive buff, and an emergency power, and you can easily get 15% more global recharge by slotting an LOTG Rech in Maneuvers and Vengeance.

Regeneration is only worth much of anything if you can really, really stack it. The observable difference you'd have with 250% versus 150% is very small, especially considering you, as Dark/, have a large, short cooldown heal.

Anyway, here's the build I'm using. It's S/L/E capped and perma-hasted. I will be replacing the slotting in TT or Nightfall with the superior Corruptor ATOs soon.
