I guess I should also state the goals of the build, which are ranged defense and perma dom, as they are not a given for everyone. Sorry about that, and again, thanks for your help.
Stand UP.
FIGHT BACK!
King,
I am going to guess you teamed with my Dark/Dark Dom. I think you said I was the one who convinced you to roll one. Dark/Dark is indeed all that and some. It has it all, except a power like Ice Patch or Earthquake, but I am totally fine with that, the FEAR rocks.
Look, I think you are sacrifing a bit too much for higher defense numbers. Let me add some perspective, Dark/Dark does not have much need for high defense numbers since you are applying constant -to hit debuffs. On my Dom, I only have 26 Defense to S/L, and I am fine. I still see them miss, even bosses. I sometimes, even knowing I can do it in one shot, do not hold a boss who is left alive, and just hit them with immob and blasts, and fear, and we have a shoot out. I have fun seeing the boss miss miss miss miss, even when he/she is up in my face wanting to pound me with melee. I have floored their -to hit so much, I know my 26 S/L is just a little insult to the injury.
Slot your blasts for dmg, so that means Life Drain should get some more love. You don't have to do it this way but I recommend just one or at most two IOs for healing in Life Drain. The rest are dmg, acc, rech, end IOs. Try 4 IOs from damg set and two IOs from an accurate healing IO set, if you will.
I would drop tough and weave on a PvE dark/dark. I would also drop the ST immob. I placed the set of Dominator IOs on the AoE immob, with the dmg+ proc there too.
I also took Midnight Grasp on my Dom, because I love that big hitter. I understand you might want to drop it and leave it all at range , but understand Dark/Dark does well in close range, especially since the Stun, which you have shown very little love in slotting, is PBAoE. I absolutely love Dark's Stun. It has a MASSIVE area coverage and it recharges fast enough.
I will let you take this in first and let you think about it, and see if you want to rework your build based on what I wrote.
Enjoy the gloomy awesomeness of Dark/Dark. I was hooked on it since it came on beta. I played it two weeks straight and grinded that bad boy from 1 to 50 doing all the PvE content I love in all the old school zones and I saw the light on the dark side.
Repeat Offenders forever !
Make all IO's available in Paragon Market! NCSoft, the chinese are making BIG money selling influence and other stuff in the game. Best way to stop them = make the paragon market a place to buy all IO's and perhaps other things as well.
Ok, going to take another look here tonight. Actually slotted him already, figure no one was interested, but it won't hurt to slot out his second build and see which one I like better. BTW, I've only been back a short time, how do you get this 'dom' set?
Stand UP.
FIGHT BACK!
And made the changes you suggested, although I did still finagle the def cap out of it. Having that Midnight Grasp slotted as well as the life tap power makes a world of difference in an attack chain, you were dead on with that. Thanks for your help mate, cheers.
Stand UP.
FIGHT BACK!

That was me actually, haven't seen you ingame and I wanted some advice about slotting but I guess your reply pretty much covered what I wanted to know.-|

Cool !!
You want a disorient set in Heart of Darkness. I would use Basiliks on Shadow Field. I also would use a confuse set in Posses.
I would also go with Cold mastery. Sleet is super good, you get a nice heal, and Ice storm. Your taste may be different.

Hello again folks!
Been gone a while trying out a host of other games. lol, a lot of them. Couldn't figure out why they all seemed to fall short of CoH, since outdated and clunky graphics are such a turn off for me. After a few months, realized it was the system. The base system of how characters are built on this game may have its' quirks, but over all it is rock solid. I came back about a week ago and haven't regretted it for a second. Actually re-upped my account after I saw the incredible changes to Dark Astoria and was told the Praetoria arc was finally, mercifully over.
Since then, I've been back in bed with my favorite at, the dom, and have created one as my new main to go through the new DA material with. I would very much appreciate your help in pointing out where I'm retarded in this build, as I'm sure it's in there. Thanks much for you assistance folks.
