DA/DM Tank Build...please help
Not a fan of Cloak of Fear, mainly because it's such an end hog, that also needs lots of accuracy. I'm not willing to devote slots to it to make it work.
Anyway, here's two Dark/Dark builds I have. The first is what the tank was originally going to be slotted. The second build is what I'm currently planning on switching to, now that the Glad Armor +3 defense has dropped dramatically in price. There are things I've done differently then you have, and might give you some ideas for change.
Build 1. Softcapped s/l, e/n within one small purple from softcap.

I tinkered with the OP's build a bit.
Dropped touch of fear for hover (combat jumping would work just as well). I short-slotted shadow maul, if it were mine I'd likely drop that power and pick up hasten. I might drop darkest night for maneuvers, too. I left them in place as the OP is enjoying his powers.
I think the OP has overvalued regen for a tank that has dark regen and siphon life. And stamina is overslotted. I built with more emphasis on s/l/e/n defense, and landed at 45.1% s/l, 38.2% e/n. I also increased -kb protection to 12 pts and squeezed in an ATO proc.

Not a fan of Cloak of Fear, mainly because it's such an end hog, that also needs lots of accuracy. I'm not willing to devote slots to it to make it work.
Anyway, here's two Dark/Dark builds I have. The first is what the tank was originally going to be slotted. The second build is what I'm currently planning on switching to, now that the Glad Armor +3 defense has dropped dramatically in price. There are things I've done differently then you have, and might give you some ideas for change. |
Your builds have given me some things to think about. I can lose a couple of slots of Reactive Armors if I go the Glad Armor +3 defense. Expensive, but worth it.
50 Inv/SS Tank, 50 Inv/EM Tank, 50 FA/SS Tank, 50 Shield/SS Tank, 50 WP/SS Tank, 50 Dark/Dark Tank, 50 EM/Elec Brute, 50 SS/FA Brute, 50 SS/SR Brute, 50 Fire/Kin Controller, 50 Plant/Storm Controller, 50 Earth/Therm Controller, 50 Necro/Dark MM, 50 Bots/FF MM, 50 Elec/SD Scrapper, 50 Arch/MM Blaster, 50 Emp/Psi Defender
Dropped touch of fear for hover (combat jumping would work just as well). I short-slotted shadow maul, if it were mine I'd likely drop that power and pick up hasten. I might drop darkest night for maneuvers, too. I left them in place as the OP is enjoying his powers.
I think the OP has overvalued regen for a tank that has dark regen and siphon life. And stamina is overslotted. I built with more emphasis on s/l/e/n defense, and landed at 45.1% s/l, 38.2% e/n. I also increased -kb protection to 12 pts and squeezed in an ATO proc. |
I dropped Dark Consumption and added Combat Jumping and threw in another LotG +rchg. Yay! Since I doubt I will go the Hasten route with this toon.
You are also most correct in that I over-value the regen on this Tank. Habit really. Did the same thing on my Fire Armor Tank...don't regret it a bit. But after taking a long hard look at the big picture, I think I can loosen up a bit with these powersets. Dark Regen/Siphon Life/ better defense than on my Fire Armor Tank...and the big one...all the -ToHit. Chances are good that I won't need all the extra regen. Definitely thanx for pointing that out.
I also wanted to get to 12 pts of kb...didn't have the slots before. but now I do!!

OK...next iteration of the build. I have to say, at first I thought that I just couldn't have my cake and eat it too. But it looks like I can at least have a slice of cake now. I still want more slots...but it looks like I will just have to put the "big-boy" pants on and make some tough decisions. The build looks leaner and meaner IMO. I'm sure it could still use some tweaks.
I haven't delved into the ATO stuff yet. The proc looks interesting. If I could free up another slot, I may just throw that one in the build.

I got my Dark Armor/Dark Melee Tank to 50 during Double XP Weekend. He was a fun Tank to run, mostly on SO's, but I had the 3 Heal uniques, a Performance Shifter Proc and a ToE Proc to help along the way. I LOVE CoF.
I'm trying to work a good post-50 build, but I feel like I need more slots...much more. Looking for some good DA/DM advice on slotting, which IO sets might work better. Which powers I absolutely don't need (I like them all dangit!). Which pool powers could be better. That kind of thing.
In my build, I only have my Alpha slot set for now, since I know I will be going Cardiac.
