This is my new shiny Dark Troller, created on Friday and reached the big one last night, and I've spent the morning working out a build in Mids.

This is not the finished article, but it's there(ish) - with the following caveats:

I've tried to avoid Hasten, and the Fighting pool, for the lack of ubiquity.

I found that I was spamming Living Shadows and Fearsome Stare a lot, and I'm after being a debuffer - I'm not so bothered about supporting fellow team mates on this toon.

I had looked at going redside for a PPP, either BS or Mako, and I'm still open to it... I think Bile Spray would be wondeful but the rest of Mako's PPP isn't so great and whilst BS offers Scorpion Shield and Poisonous Death Ray, I figure Power Boost and Conserve Power give me far better advantages - but I'm happy for demonstrations to the contrary.

Re slotting: I have five WotCs and enough Catalysts to make them sing, plus a full set of Basilisk's Gaze and several LotGs etc. So much of what's in that build is what I have. I wouldn't want to spend much more than half a billion on it for other shinys unless a real case can be made for them.

Playstyle: I noticed she was quite good at managing to stay at range, so I'm happy for the ranged Def, but I still took Venomous Gas, but that could be dropped.
