Hi,
I am playing a Gravity/Dark Troller, but I will help as best I can. I also enclose a Mids Data Link to show you my slotting etc.
1) Yes both can be made Perma, as you will see in my build.
2) See Build but 7.5% recharge for sure, then i went with Red fortune, but I wanted more recharge from the set bonus. For Soul Absorbsion I went for a set of Efficency adaptors, but what ever you decide, it is best to go for the endurance sets imho. The reason being that with Twighlight Grasp, you have one of the best heals in the game. So you are not gonna need the regen in my view as much as the recovery.
3) See Build but went for a full set of Cloud Senses, again for set bonus's and also the huge -To Hit from fluffies abilities rock, and enhancing them is a good plan. Please note for Controllers Fluffy is perma out the box, but with recharge I have him down to like 60 secs.... nice to soak up a nasty alpha if needs be.

/Dark affinity is extremely sturdy and it allows you to play very aggressively.
I'll just post my elec/dark build for your reference:
Highlights:
High Recharge (end game), Softcapped Ranged and AoE defense (DN and end sapping covers Melee), Hardcapped S/L resist and almost hard capped energy resist, unlimited end, high regen.

Title pretty much covers it. I've been contemplating rolling up a Fire/Dark/Stone Troller for a while now and with the new found glory of Bonfire (I know, I know...it'll be nerfed), I thought that now is that time.
I've played Dark Miasma sets on several Defenders, so I feel comfortable with the powers that carry over to /DA (Tar Patch, Twlight Grasp, Howling Twilight...etc.). I'm less sure about the 2 new DA powers though. Namely, Fade and Soul Abosorb.
Chief among my concerns are:
1) Can either or both of these powers be made "perma". I have a high recharge build in mind and was hoping they could be.
2) Slotting? I was thinking for Fade I'd do Lotg 7.5%/Def, Def/Rch and Def/end/Rch. Then I was going to slot Soul Absorb with 5 sets of Doctored Wounds. Is there a better way to slot these? Pleas elet me know if I've missed something.
3) Any additional advice for Dark Servant slotting is always welcome. I typically just slot it for accurate tohit debuff but I'm never 100% sure that's the best way to do it.
Thanks in advance for any tips/advice/critiques.
